your body has been trying to tell you something, and you've been talking over it.
you can name your attachment style, your mother's, and the one your last ex had that you swore was the problem, and you still went cold the second his text said "can we talk later." you've got the annotated books and a therapist who agrees with your read, and the pattern hasn't moved an inch, because none of that reaches where the thing is actually kept.
the reaction was never a thought, it's procedural memory, your body filed it the way it filed riding a bike, under the floor of where thinking happens. that's why knowing it this well has changed so little, you've been working a story above the room it lives in.
the body knowing, my course, opens in december. get on the waitlist and you'll hear first.
hi, i'm soren.
Neurosomatic Practitioner, Reiki Master, Mother of three, (amongst so many other things, who likes boxes anyway?) PhD student in Philosophy, Cosmology and Consciousness.
My work sits at the intersection of applied neurology and the felt experience of being human, which is a long way of saying: i teach women how to hear what their body has been saying since they were four.
i've spent almost twenty years in this space, consciousness, somatics, philosophy, the nervous system, chasing the questions most people are told to outgrow. the decade i spent in tech and marketing runs right alongside it, a world i love and still work in, same question underneath both, why we do what we do, followed all the way down to the body.
when i'm not here, i'm at wondervine studios, where i help women build and grow businesses that fit the humans running them.
same work, from the ground up.

why your body hasn't believed you yet.
Your body has been running a prediction about who you are since you were small.
Your nervous system is a prediction machine.
every morning it wakes up and starts spending your energy. heart rate, breath, cortisol, glucose. all of it, based on what it expects today to be.
that prediction was built when you were small, out of every room you were ever in, & it doesn't update just because you decided to.
so when you reach for a freer version of yourself, your body has no data for her. it reads her as a threat, which is why she shows up as dread long before she shows up as growth.
a prediction changes when the body gets evidence against it. think about the first week at a new job. your shoulders stay up around your ears until enough ordinary days pass without anything going wrong, and then one afternoon they drop. nobody talked them down, they just ran out of reasons to stay up.
this work does that on purpose. you give the body the felt experience of her, again and again, ideally with a practitioner who can walk you through it without bypassing what's actually happening in your nervous system.
that's the work i do.
What's here.
A few doorways in, depending on where you are.
the ensouled podcast is where i think out loud about philosophy and consciousness. ensouled is also the app, a daily five-minute nervous system practice, in private beta now.
The Morning Practice (FREE)
a seven-minute, body-led practice for the start of your day, before your nervous system has decided what kind of day it's going to be.
The Cope/Heal Check (FREE)
a body-led guide for telling coping from healing in your own body.
The Sanctuary of Devotion (paid membership)
a monthly room held by a circle of women practitioners. i hold the somatic seat.
Who this is for
you're probably the person who reads five books at once. your interoception runs louder than most people's, which is a clinical way of saying you can feel a room shift before anyone else knows why. you got called dramatic or too much before you figured out you were reading the room correctly the entire time.
you have opinions about supplements you don't share because explaining takes forever. you'll take a good jung quote when it hits.
you're allergic to bypass, and you want the neurology and the reverence in the same sentence.
The Body Knowing (waitlist)
one course in seven modules: neurology, somatics, psychology, philosophy, consciousness, practice and integration. each lesson explains the science plainly and pairs it with something you practice in your own body.
doors open in december. leave your email and you'll hear the morning they do.
