We’re Anne & Steve, and it’s a joy to welcome you to this healing space.
We help individuals overcome their health challenges, differently. Through the heart and soul of their emotional sides.
It’s as simple as helping people feel good about themselves as a way to vibrant health. Helping them ease up on themselves. Showing them how to treat themselves with love and grace, no matter what. And cultivating an open and connective partnership with their body and heart.

Helping individuals get to the emotional roots of health challenges is what we do. Ushering growth and loving change into your health & life is what we help people cultivate. And the words that best capture our services are “a blend of emotional and somatic journeying, perspective shifting, and spiritual counsel to build loving strength in people’s hearts for vibrant well-being.”
It’s as simple as helping people feel good about themselves as a means of vibrant health. Helping them learn to treat themselves (even those shadowy parts) with love and grace no matter what. And helping them form a new and connective partnership with their body and self.
Our services blend emotional and somatic healing with spiritual counsel to build up a strong and resilient love for yourself, because that is what creates vibrant health.
We found our way into leading this work through our own health challenges, facing the fear-ridden, boxed-in perspectives of the mainstream medical system. As we searched for alternative methods, we realized many to be rooted in disempowerment, distracting fads, and outside fixes that displace you from your heart and soul.
Our vision is to create more heart-felt honesty and love in the world by helping people open it up within themselves first. That is the health we stand for.
To help individuals feel comfy in themselves no matter the circumstances life brings. Love is the root of vibrant health, we radiate that into our networks, and that creates profound change in the world. That’s why we do what we do!
By guiding emotional healing that works in partnership with the body, mind, and heart, we get to the medicine that our spirits truly seek, no matter the health challenge— greater love and freedom. Something no pills, diets, or procedures can give us.
Love Is The Medicine Here.
People who arrive here tend to have a rebellious spirit. But most often, they are trying to solve problems their bodies are experiencing so they can feel better and live life more fully. Most often though, there are walls up between themselves and their hearts that are being overlooked. The power of the heart is being discounted and the emotional aspect isn't given credit as a primary factor in their health. Instead, most people are in the head, trying to solve and fix...and it's exhausting. Intellectually, they may be getting the concepts of what needs to change, but it’s not actually penetrating them and sinking in where they can feel and embody it to create change and find relief. Disconnection is here. It exists. So what can be done? Love.
That is what you are contemplating now as you consider leaping into this deeper work together.
Love is the ultimate healer. But oftentimes, we don't know what that means, how to apply it, or what it looks like for us through our pain and protective walls. The “just love yourself” narrative can feel frustrating or like a flimsy cop-out. The mental perception of love can be limited like an undeveloped polaroid picture...all rainbows and butterflies kind of thinking without the shadows that create the real depth and authenticity. Other times the perception of love is distorted based on what we learned from our parents, caretakers, and relationships. And so love for yourself doesn't feel practical, possible, credible, or safe. It remains this ethereal concept that sure sounds nice, but feels unattainable and overwhelming. So it’s discarded as a viable option. But what if love for the self looks different than we expect?
I like to boil it down to this. How you treat yourself impacts your health and well-being. In fact, it’s the foundation. Being hard on yourself, trying to control and override the body, holding back your emotional side or self-expression....these are all ways that we withhold love for ourselves.
So it makes a lot of sense that being hard on yourself and holding parts of yourself back doesn't feel good! It either creates tensions that you can feel deep in your system or it leads to collapse. In either case, it's painful. Period. Think of the environment this creates inside of you...turbulent, unsafe, disconnected. It's like a battlefield is going on inside yourself. And this pain is going to show up one way or another, including symptoms.
Why? While the health, medical, and wellness spheres want you to believe it's because of outside reasons that you don't feel well, I am here to stand for something much more empowering. This is an inside job that is within your grasp. Your body is your ally and teammate on that journey! It takes care of you and alerts you of the parts of yourself that aren’t being treated well so you can tend to them. To nurture love there. Love for yourself is a powerful medicine that you can cultivate through your own body.
Love is being present and “at home” in yourself no matter what. Even in uncomfortable places like anger, failure, fear, and grief. When you are shining bright and also when you are feeling low and dull. This kind of love needs to be strengthened within you just like going to the gym and lifting weights to build up your muscles!
That’s exactly what we will do in this deeper work together. I will be there to help you sense and open up that loving medicine that feels inaccessible. I will be there to help give your emotional side and self-expression an outlet. And I will be there to help you form a strong partnership between your body, mind, and heart to get to the medicine that your spirit truly seeks, no matter the health challenge—greater love and freedom. It’s something no pills, diets, or procedures can give.
It's deeply nourishing, and you will feel profoundly better and more connected because of it. That feeling inspires you to strengthen the connection with your heart and spirit to soothe and transform your inner pains so you (and others) may benefit from them. Suddenly, symptoms now become empowering invitations into being kinder to yourself and treating yourself better. The inner battles transform into peace and deeply held tensions unfurl.
When you nurture love within yourself, everything changes. When you build up your relationship with your body, it leads to greater trust, love, and connection with yourself. As you can imagine, that feels really good in your system! Your mind can relax and your body can heal naturally while you grow deeper into your heart.
This kind of love you are considering offering yourself is radical. It's the root of vibrant health that ripples beyond ourselves too. When we offer ourselves this radical love, it radiates into our networks and relationships, and creates profound change in the world. It's powerful, and it's why I do what I do.
