POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A moment to say hello again… after months away from socials, I am beginning again.
Because there is still realness here.
Because there are still authentic connections here.
Because there is still learning here…

If you are new to my squares, hello🥰🤗
I have many identities; a mom, a wife, an immigrant, a dreamer… I serve as a feminine embodiment and leadership coach, an Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapist, a Movement and Breathwork Therapist, and the founder and lead teacher of @raindrop_movement

I work with women through coaching, movement, retreats and long-term spaces of full bodied transformation.

But underneath all that, I am simply someone who trusts deeply in the intelligence of the body and our capacity to come home to ourselves, each other and our planet.

I also steward @terramagicaretreats , our retreat home in the hills of Istria, Croatia.

It is a place where many threads of my life meet: land, movement, beauty, community, leadership, ritual and rest.

A home for Raindrop Movement, and for the meaningful work other teachers and facilitators are bringing into the world.

And in this stage of maturation and ripening, I am still learning how to soften without disappearing.

How to be devoted without abandoning myself.

How to lead without pretending to have arrived.

How to mother, love, create and live from a body that I continue to meet more honestly.

And maybe, most importantly, how to let the pain of our world move through me, not into paralysis, but into action that feels aligned with what I care about most.

Thank you for being here and for allowing me to keep becoming in your presence.
Lets keep becoming the body that truly is a reflection of a Soul that inhabits it✨✨✨
With fierce love,
N.

Maybe you are returning from vacation and your body is already resisting the September madness…
Maybe you’ve been feeling the wobble of the eclipse…
Maybe your Soul is crying for a deeper connection but your mind is finding clever ways to keep you busy… whatever the context may be, sometimes to move is the only way to return back to stillness…

Come move with us this Wednesday for our live Zoom community practice.

Experience the stillness that only intentional embodied movement gives.

This image shows exactly how I feel sharing this…
For the first time in years of holding transformative retreats, I made the decision to not go ahead.

And honestly? It has been very tender.

There is the obvious part: women had signed up. They had made plans, arranged their lives, booked things, and were looking forward to being together.

Disappointing people is hard for me.

But there was another truth underneath it.

I love this work.

I LOVE watching women arrive carrying one version of themselves and leave with something opened, softened, reclaimed or remembered.

I love holding the space. I love the land. The rituals. The food. The movement. The conversations that happen at 11pm when nobody wants to go to bed.

But over the last couple of retreats, I started noticing something I couldn’t ignore anymore:

I was beginning to resent the very thing I loved.

I was putting enormous amounts of energy, care, responsibility and invisible labour into creating these experiences and the financial exchange wasn’t reflecting what it actually took to hold them.

And I realised that continuing because “I’ve already committed” or “I don’t want to disappoint anyone” was not integrity.

It was overriding myself. Because the little girl in me was scared I will not be loved if I stopped…

And this time, I held her in my embrace and let her speak…

And yes, it cost me thousands of euros.

But I would rather lose money once than keep teaching women about boundaries while quietly crossing my own.

This is what embodied integrity is for me… and I feel this choice is in alignment with it…
With fierce tender love,
N.

We are designed to function bottom up:
Sense
Feel
Think
And our brain functions accordingly.
Meaning that, in a situation where there is a lack of coherence between your mind, heart and body, your nervous system doesn’t believe your words — it believes your body.

So whenever there’s a mismatch between someone’s words and their body language, the nervous system will go with the body for these main reasons:
✨Words come from the cognitive layer (frontal cortex) of our brain.
✨Body language comes from the deeper, instinctive layers of the nervous system (limbic and brainstem)
Since our survival depends on picking up the most reliable information, the nervous system prioritizes somatic signals.

This is why people often feel confused, drained, or anxious when they’re around someone whose words don’t match their body. The incoherence creates a subtle but very real stress response.
Unfortunately, we learn to recognise this more in others than in ourselves.
An embodiment coach can guide you to notice the subtle ways your body is speaking even when your mind is quieting it.
With guidance, you start recognizing patterns of incoherence, reclaiming your body’s truth, and aligning your words, emotions, and nervous system.

And with music, movement and breath, these shifts can happen in a playful and joyful way.
Join any of @raindrop_movement classes to explore what coherence in your body feels like.
With fierce love,
N.

A shift has happened.
Last week I was a part of big training on trauma. There was around 80 of us. All well established practitioners, therapists, body workers. All there to deepen our understanding for the sake of serving our clients better.
At the end of day 4, we were all exhausted. The words were not coming. Tiredness turned into brain fog and yet there was a nudge from the leaders to continue practicing.
Until our group expressed how we felt clearly.
The space to feel what’s needed in the field was created and much of what was shared was:
I am tired but I can push through
I am exhausted but I don’t want to miss out this learning opportunity
I am wiped but I am happy to go with the flow for the sake of the group…

When my turn came I simply said: I can see myself in all of you, I can recognize the eager learner and good student in me and the pleasing team player in me. However, I have learned that the cost of over- extending my body’s boundaries is higher than missing one learning opportunity.

The energy in the space shifted and suddenly everyone started reorienting towards what was really felt and true in them.
The learning was still there. It was just different from what we expected…

And I saw myself so many times this week acting as the woman I dreamt of becoming:
Grounded and daring
Clear and expressed in my boundaries
Confident in my capacity
Curious and asking questions with no hesitation
Being inspired with those that would previously intimidate me
Connecting and withdrawing with ease…
Less interested in appearing a certain way and more interested in being ok with myself.

I could recognize all of my old patterns and chose differently.

I felt like the “she that was always there” but often hidden under armors of self protection…
They are no longer needed.
And that is so darn cool!

The work is working😂🥰✨
And if that’s not worthy of sharing, what is🙌
With fierce love,
N.

Thank you for these words. ✨

This is exactly why we hold this space.

For moments like this.
For someone to arrive as a stranger to herself and leave a little more home. 🤍

So many of us learned to perform for others before we even knew we were doing it.

Smiling a little brighter.
Shrinking a little smaller.
Measuring ourselves against a room we were never actually competing in.

And then something happens when that stops.

We start to be exactly the women we are.

Tired, shining, loud, joyful, messy, soft, radiant, powerful. All at once.

Nobody managing how we’re perceived.
Nobody holding back to control how we’ll be received.

What’s left, when the performing stops, is something much closer to the truth. 🤍
