Meet Anastacia
A somatic coach, trauma-informed guide, and space holder for those longing to come home to their bodies.
Diving deep into embodiment, somatics, and yoga therapy—especially the gentler forms of mindful movement—taught me how to feel my way through chronic pain and meet my nervous system with compassion instead of fear.
Before this work, I used to fight my body.
Ignore the flare-ups. Power through the panic.
Push past the fatigue and override the signals.
Now, I see those signals differently.
They’re not problems—they’re messages.
They’re my body’s way of protecting me.
Even when that protection looks like chest tightness, buzzing limbs, or the ache of exhaustion.
Somatics has taught me how to listen.
To sit with discomfort without needing to fix it.
To move gently and with intention—whether that’s slow stretching, a mindful walk, or simply deep breaths in a quiet corner.

Kind Words
“Before working with Anastacia, I didn’t realize how disconnected I was from my body. I thought I was managing stress, but I was really just surviving—ignoring the signals, pushing through the tension, and feeling like I had to hold it all together. With her gentle, intuitive presence, I finally felt safe enough to slow down and listen.
She never rushed me or tried to ‘fix’ anything. Instead, she taught me how to move with compassion, to understand my nervous system, and to soften into the parts of myself I had been avoiding for years. This work changed the way I relate to my body, my boundaries, and my sense of worth. I feel like I’ve come home.”

Coming Home to the Body — How I Support You
Somatics lives under the broader umbrella of embodiment—a compassionate, ongoing relationship with the body as a source of wisdom and truth…
In this work, we create safe internal space to explore the deeper roots of emotional and physical struggles. Together, we uncover the protective patterns, survival responses, and internal beliefs that have shaped your experience—often quietly, sometimes for years or generations.
Embodiment invites you to remember:
You are not broken. You are adaptive.
Your body is not the problem—it’s the portal.
My work supports clients in:
Navigating chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation
Softening fawn and freeze patterns
Reclaiming boundaries, voice, and internal safety
Exploring generational wounds held in the body
Reconnecting to presence, pleasure, and power—at your own pace
Whether you are a mother, healer, leader, or simply someone who has been carrying too much for too long, I offer you a space to land—just as you are.

“Before working with Anastacia, I struggled to feel grounded and present in my own body. Her somatic practices were not just exercises-they were a complete shift in how I understand myself. I've never felt more resilient and at peace.”
