The Gentle Path to Transformation: Embracing Softness in Healing

In this episode of 'Loving Your Life Again,' host Christina, a trauma-informed coach and breathwork facilitator, discusses the misconception that transformation and healing must be intense and painful. She delves into the belief that growth requires collapse and emphasizes that true healing can be gentle, slow, and even joyful. Christina explores how over-efforting and spiritual bypassing can be counterproductive and highlights the importance of integrating mind and body through practices like breathwork and somatic coaching. She encourages listeners to stay present, embrace discomfort, and approach their healing journey with compassion and safety.

In this heart-to-heart episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on where I’ve been, what’s been shifting behind the scenes, and why this pause was necessary.

From navigating a big move and deep emotional triggers… to stepping fully into the depths of my Somatic Coaching Certification, this season has invited me to pause, listen, and transform.

I share what it really means to embody the work—not just learn it—and why nervous system regulation is now the anchor for everything I offer.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or just in the thick of transition, this episode is for you.
You’ll also hear two beautiful ways to connect with me right now—one is completely free.

✨ Let’s take a breath together—and walk through the messy middle, side by side.
