BETTER BOUNDARIES
A 2-HOUR LIVE INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP
MONDAY NOVEMBER 10tH
Part education, part self-inquiry and part Somatic Practice with Q+A at the end, this workshop will look at the importance of boundaries, how our history shaped our ability to set them and set you up for success in creating healthier ways of speaking your needs and managing what you will and will not tolerate.
9-11am PST | 12-2pm EST | 18-20h CEST
you want to say no, but your body hasn’t gotten the memo yet.
It still tenses at requests you don’t want to fulfill, still braces when you anticipate conflict, still whispers caution before you speak. Even when your mind knows you have a right to your time, space, and energy, your body acts as if saying no could tip the balance — and you’re left carrying that quiet, heavy tension.
Because the moment you even think about saying no, your body reacts. Your chest tightens, your throat closes, your mind scrambles for ways to soften the truth. Not because you’re weak or “bad at boundaries,” but because your system still associates honesty with risk.
Somewhere along the way, your body learned that being easy, agreeable, and available kept the peace. So even when your mind says “I have a right to this,” your body whispers, “careful.”
You agree to “just one more quick project” at work, and ten minutes later you’re staring blankly at your screen, heart heavy, thinking, “I don’t even have the energy to shower tonight.”
INSERT A FEW MORE
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
You often say yes, even when your gut is screaming no, because you’re afraid of disappointing others.
You freeze, fumble, or over-explain when you try to ask for what you need for fear of other people's reactions.
You know you should set boundaries, but the thought alone makes your chest tighten or stomach knot.
You feel responsible for managing other people’s emotions, even at the cost of your own well-being.
You don't know how to set a boundary without it feeling like an ultimatum or threat
You’ve never tried to assert a boundary — or when you have, people ignored, argued, or pushed past it.
The idea of saying no makes you panic that you’ll be seen as selfish, unkind, difficult or “too much.”
you’ve just been doing what your body learned to do
Trying to set boundaries can feel impossible — not because you’re weak, selfish, or incapable, but because your nervous system is wired to protect you. For years, your body learned that being easy, available, and agreeable kept the peace. So even when your mind knows what you need, your body reacts first: tightening, bracing, freezing, or scrambling for ways to soften the truth.
Maybe it shows up at home or with friends: a neighbor or relative drops by unannounced, and instead of saying you need time alone to decompress after a long day, you smile and host them, feeling your energy drain as you suppress the urge to retreat.
Someone asks for help when you’re already stretched thin. Your throat tightens, knowing you have way too much on your plate — but you jump in anyway, putting their needs ahead of your own and leaving your plans by the wayside or feeling burnt out trying to do it all.
During a conversation, someone asks your opinion on a sensitive topic, and your stomach knots. Inside, you wish you felt could speak your mind, but instead you give a vague answer so you don’t risk upsetting them.
Each time, a part of you steps back, sacrificing your own needs for the sake of connection — leaving you drained, frustrated, or quietly resentful, even if no one else notices.
Begin your wellness journey with full access to our beginner-friendly live webinars and events.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺
-
I honestly don’t know yet. This is the first time I’m offering this specific container. If I do run it again, it may look different in structure or format. So if this version speaks to you, I encourage you to sign up by October 10th rather than waiting, because I can’t promise it will be available in this exact way again.
-
No - this is an introductory series of one-on-one sessions. You’ll get my full presence + focus to provide customized support just for you!
-
While it’s ideal to schedule the same day and time each week, there is room for flexibility to accommodate travel, illness, people who don’t know their work schedule until the week before, and just good ol’ life happening. However, any schedule changes must be made at least 24 hours in advance.
-
I can accommodate time zones across the US/Canada/LATAM and Europe.
-
This work is cumulative — each session builds on the last, creating tangible shifts that add up over time.
Over these six weeks, you may begin to feel more regulated, less triggered, and notice tangible shifts: catching yourself before falling into an old pattern, managing difficult moments more easily, responding or choosing differently, or feeling safer to ask for what you need.
While lasting transformation requires ongoing support, this first step lays the foundation and shows you what’s possible when your nervous system begins to heal.
-
It’s very common to wonder if your patterns are “too much” or if your history is “too severe” to heal. The truth is, somatic work is designed to meet you exactly where you are — whether you’ve experienced early attachment ruptures, chronic stress, or significant trauma. Because we’re working with the nervous system itself, we don’t need to re-live or re-tell everything for healing to happen. What matters most isn’t the severity of what you’ve been through, but that we go at the pace your system can safely handle.
As a trauma-trained practitioner in several modalities explicitly designed to support complex (cPTSD) and early developmental trauma, I work in a safe, titrated way — step by step, always guided by what’s showing up in your body. If overwhelm arises, we slow down and meet it with care, so your system can stay supported and contained. Even when the history feels big, your nervous system knows the way when it’s supported gently and consistently.
-
Many people who’ve tried breathwork, meditation, catharsis-based methods, or intense self-guided work sometimes end up feeling retraumatized because the pace or intensity didn’t match what their nervous system could handle—it was “too much, too fast.” This work is different because it focuses on nervous system regulation and is tailored to your system’s needs. We move at a pace you can safely tolerate, gently supporting what arises instead of forcing it. Even when difficult emotions, memories, or triggers show up, you’re met with steady support and attunement so your nervous system can process them without being pushed beyond its capacity. The result is that old patterns begin to resolve at their source—you’re supported in processing and completing what’s stuck in your nervous system, rather than being retraumatized.
-
No — the core of this work happens in the relational container of our 1:1 sessions. Because we are wounded in relationship, we heal in relationship, and you were never meant to do it alone — so you don’t actually need to do anything outside our sessions together to experience changes.
The supplemental resources are available for those who want extra support, but even if you don’t use them, you’ll still experience meaningful shifts from the session work itself. For some people with early developmental trauma, leaning into non-efforting can actually be beneficial — you get to decide what works best for your nervous system.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"Before I starting this work, I was navigating the ending of a marriage, shifting monogamous paradigms (and the nervous system responses to that), and struggling with feeling safe to fully express my emotions and needs. I felt overwhelmed, a bit powerless, and confused.. Since starting our sessions, I feel safer to fully express my feelings and my needs, I'm able to access a fuller range of emotions, I feel less afraid to be honest about things that might be hard for someone to hear, and I feel more comfortable setting boundaries."
Katie, Spain
"Before our sessions, I was hesitant about communicating my needs as I felt exhausted afterwards, and my only tool for boundaries was leaving. Now, when setting a boundary and communicating my needs, I feel calm and find it is actually beneficial for me. Regardless of the results, it helps me to better understand the situation. I am not as agitated as I used to be when expressing myself. What surprised me is how much support was available. I am resilient and deal with things mostly by myself. Before this experience, I had never imagined that I could be supported and understood this much."
Mila, Spain
“One somatic session with Suzana did more for me than all the talk therapy I'd done in the past. It was hard to believe how powerful such seemingly gentle work could be. The immediate integration of responding rather than reacting to previously constant triggers was clearly noticeable not only to me, but also to others. Truly grateful for such a simple yet life-changing session.”
