Most healing happens when no one is trying to heal you.

Think about it. When was the last time someone told you to "just relax" and you actually relaxed? When did being fixed ever make you feel whole?

Here's what the wellness industry won't tell you: You're not broken. You never were.

At Sanctum & Soil, we practice a radical act of rebellion: We believe you.

We believe your body when it says it's tired. We believe your nervous system when it chooses protection over connection. We believe the story your breath tells about the places you've learned to make yourself small.

This isn't therapy with essential oils. This isn't yoga with positive thinking slapped on top. This is the uncomfortable, unglamorous, absolutely necessary work of coming home to yourself—even when home feels unfamiliar.

How We Work Together

Retreat Speaking & Facilitation

For when your group needs someone who's been in the fire and found the way through

I don't speak about healing—I speak from it. Rooted, embodied teaching that gives people tools they'll actually use.

Nervous System Education

For when you're tired of being told your reactions are "too much"

Your triggers are your teachers. Let's learn what they're trying to tell you.

Breathwork & Mindfulness

For when you're ready to stop performing recovery and start living

Breath by breath, we remember that healing doesn't come from someone else. It comes from within.

Mind-Body Integration Sessions

For when you need someone who won't try to fix you

One-on-one work that honors your pace, your story, your wisdom.

Ready to stop being fixed and start being witnessed?

Let's have a conversation about what it means to come home to yourself.

Get In Touch

And I was dying inside. Not from cancer—though that tried to kill me too. I was dying from the exhausting work of performing wellness while abandoning myself. From smiling through pain because "positive vibes only." From giving everyone else permission to take up space while I made myself smaller and smaller.

Then my body stopped pretending along with me.

Cancer was just the beginning. A broken heart finished what staying disconnected from myself had started. And somewhere in that wreckage, I found the most radical thing: the truth.

The truth that your body has been trying to save you this whole time. That your nervous system's "overreactions" are actually intelligent responses to a world that taught you your feelings were too much. That healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about remembering who you were before the world told you that wasn't enough.

What I Learned in the Fire

As a neuromuscular trigger-point massage therapist, I learned that the body keeps the score—and it also keeps the solutions.

As a qualified behavioral health assistant, I learned that the mind wants to fix what the heart needs to feel.

As a yoga teacher, I learned that flexibility isn't about touching your toes—it's about touching your truth.

As a retreat speaker, I learned that people don't need more inspiration—they need more permission.

As a mother working with teens and trauma survivors, I learned that the ones the world calls "broken" are often the ones brave enough to feel everything.

— Andi S

This work is sacred because you are sacred. Not because you're perfect, but because you're real. Because you're here, in a body, in this life, even when that life has tried to break you.

The real question isn't "Are you ready to heal?"
It's: "Are you ready to stop performing recovery and start living?"

RETREAT SPEAKING & FACILITATION

For organizations ready to go beyond "wellness theater"

I don't do inspiration porn. I don't promise that mindfulness will fix your corporate culture or that breathwork will solve systemic problems.

What I do offer: Real talk about nervous systems. Practical tools for emotional regulation. Permission to be human in spaces that often demand you be perfect.

Perfect for: Wellness retreats, women's conferences, trauma-informed organizations, anyone who wants their audience to feel seen, not sold to.

NERVOUS SYSTEM EDUCATION

For when you're tired of being told to "just breathe"

Your body's responses aren't random. Your triggers aren't weakness. Your need for safety isn't dramatic.

Through stories and science, we explore:

Why your nervous system does what it does
How trauma lives in the body (and how healing does too)
Practical regulation techniques that actually work
Permission to trust your body's wisdom

BREATHWORK & MINDFULNESS SESSIONS

For when you need to remember how to be in your body

This isn't about achieving some zen state. This is about learning to stay present with yourself—even when yourself is uncomfortable.

We work with: Breath as medicine, mindfulness without spiritual bypassing, body awareness without body shame, and presence without perfection.

MIND-BODY INTEGRATION SESSIONS

One-on-one work for when you need someone who won't try to fix you

Combining massage therapy, nervous system awareness, and trauma-informed care, these sessions honor both your story and your body's wisdom.

This is for you if: Traditional therapy feels too much in your head, you're ready to listen to what your body has been trying to tell you, and you want support without diagnosis, healing without fixing.

UPCOMING

Sedona Wellness Retreat (Date TBD): For when you need to remember who you are underneath it all.

Peer-Led Suicide Prevention Initiative: For the ones who feel most lost.
