When your body and your work stop moving in the same rhythm, it’s not a failure.
It’s a signal.
Sensitivity isn’t a flaw – it’s data. It’s your body picking up on things before your mind can name them.
That’s not fragility, or being “too sensitive.” It’s intelligence.
​
Feeling tired, irritated, or frustrated with your business or body isn’t failure – it’s just feedback.
Signals from your body that you’re not living and working in tune with your sensitive intelligence.
​
Your body is just smarter than most.
Not to brag, but it is.
​
Instead of pushing harder or trying to squeeze yourself into someone else’s system, what if your body was simply telling you the truth?
Hi, I'm Erin
I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be “normal.”
You know — guzzle beer, chase Advil with coffee, buy a boat, work 9–5, and swim in questionable waters without breaking out in a rash.
​
But that’s not my path. And if you’re here, it’s probably not yours either.
​
I work with sensitive professionals and creatives who’ve done everything right – until their bodies said enough. The helpers, healers, and high-achievers learning to live by body time instead of launch time.
​
After 20+ years in the healing arts and a background in creative writing and somatic studies, here’s what I know: everything gets easier when your body and your voice are on the same page.
​
Sometimes that looks like slowing down and rethinking how you work. Sometimes it looks like finding the right language for your next chapter – or the words your website’s been waiting for.
​
Either way, start with your body. It already knows the way.
Every story has two directions:
One moves inward. The other outward.
Both begin in the body.
​
The inward story is the part where you slow down – sense, notice, and let yourself feel what’s true.​ The outward story helps you express that – through your work, your words, your life.
Both need the same foundation:
a body that feels safe enough to tell the truth.​
​
That's where my work lives.
​
Sensitivity as Intelligence
(somatic healing, regulation, and nervous system repair) and
Story as Medicine
(creative expression, writing, and messaging that feels alive and true).
​
They’re just two doors into the same house — different ways of coming home to yourself.
​
Ways we can work together
Here are three ways we can work together, depending on where you are in your own rhythm of rest and expression.

When your story is ready to be shared.
​
Bring your voice, message, or creative project into form with words that feel alive in your body and magnetic to your people.
Whether you’re rewriting your website, working on a project, or writing the book that’s been waiting for you – this is where story and soul meet.

You probably don't fit neatly into a box (neither do I) – but here’s what I know about our people:
You might be...
-
A writer stuck on your Substack, bio, or About page.
-
A healer whose magic is hard to explain in words.
-
A multi-passionate creative who freezes when it’s time to share their work.
-
A chronic illness badass re-entering work or visibility in a sustainable way.
-
A sensitive rebel or soulful pro ready to be seen—without selling your soul (or your nervous system).
-
A lifelong go-getter learning that rest doesn’t make you lazy.
-
A caretaker remembering she still has her own body.
Sound like you? Let's talk about it.
Not quite ready to dive in yet? That’s okay.
Here are some other ways to stay connected to this work.
