A body-first reference for when you're already in it. Sixteen states, from panic to hopelessness to finally letting something good in, each with five things to try in the next thirty seconds. Built on Chinese medicine and consent-based somatic practices. Free, twenty-two pages, straight to your inbox.
A free somatic first aid kit for the moments your already in it:
Total panic or shutdown
A mind that won't stop
Grief that's too heavy
Whatever your body's doing right now, there's a page for it with something to try in the next thirty seconds.
This kit is built on Chinese medicine and consent-based somatic practices. It assumes your body knows things, and that the part of you that's struggling is also the part trying to keep you alive.
Nothing in here is a cure. It's a smaller, more accessible response than the one you might be reaching for.

Twenty-two navigable pages, organized by what your body is doing.
Panic and flooding. Spiraling thoughts. Freeze. Fight energy with nowhere to go. Light dissociation and the deeper kind. Pain you're bracing against. Grief, heartbreak, hopelessness. Hypervigilance. A pelvis that's gone quiet. Living neck-up. There’s a page for when you need help settling, and one for when you can finally let something good in.
No order to follow. Stay on one page when you need. Explore others in a time of greater resource.

If something doesn't feel right, stop. If a practice makes things worse, that's information too. This doesn't replace medical or mental health care. If you're in crisis, call someone you trust, or 988.
