Resources
Welcome, dear one.
In this section, you’ll find a list of additional resources you may find useful. In exploring them, notice what you’re curious about, what resonates, and start there.
I’ve selected only a few resources as a starting point — those that I have found most useful for my own journey and that of the people I’ve worked with.
Please know that you don’t need to read all the books, take all the workshops, or do all the practices. In fact, I’ve found that, for most people, small steps that feel sustainable are usually the most supportive.
May you grow in ease, wellbeing and joy, and find freedom from pain and other symptoms.
If you ever feel called to receive more in-depth support, here’s how we can work together.
Information about the neuroscience of persistent pain and how to recover
Guided practices and grief tending workshop
