Upcoming Events
The Body is our means to heal! This is a workshop that is all about REST! A lot can come up when we take time out to turn our attention inwards. This practice of resting has the intention of getting you more in touch with your Inner Truth.
In this virtual REST SHOP, you will be invited to get your pillow and a blanket, and lay back and relax as you are guided through an experience that is part body scan, part deep imagining that is called Inner Sensing. We will practice five keys to this Inner Sensing as a somatic practice for you to gain access to your own bodies wisdom.
While you rest, Theophany Trimble-Gardner, Gene Keys Guide and Somatic Therapist, will lead you through Inner Sensing, a Taoist somatic practice. This simple exercise helps you notice and understand your body's signals. It supports your physical, emotional, and spiritual health, improves self-regulation, and aids decision-making. It puts you in control of your healing, helping you gently work through hidden patterns and open to your true potential.In the practice, essentially you become your own energy reader, noticing your emotional and spiritual body, and take steps to befriending whatever is presently alive within you. Just to care about it. Not to fix it.
Participants will leave with a deeper connection to what is most alive in them at the moment, and perhaps ease some tension, gain clarity, discover a need, or get a download of inspiration, all while creating a deeper connection to themselves on a soul level.

A new virtual community offering!
You’re invited to join a small group of individuals interested in equipping themselves with more in depth understanding of the nervous system, soul work, and healing into our wholeness. This book explores the ancient alchemical philosophy of earth based elements and how they correspond not only in our outside world but our inside world.
Written by two of my mentors, Lorie Eve Dechar and Benjamin Fox, “The Alchemy of Inner Work: A Guide for turning illness and suffering into true health and wellbeing.” has a pivotal book in my own healing journey and in my foundation at a somatic healer.
Every living person has an impulse that calls us toward the fullest possible expression of our being. However, we live in a culture and environment that sets the conditions for us to grow, struggle, and express from. Alchemical healing philosophy teaches that the inherent blocks are inevitable and necessary. They are simply a part of being in a body. “These blocks refine you and serve as guideposts on the journey of a soul.” says Dechar.
In our small group we will be holding ourselves and each other in a liminal space with the sense of possibility. We will integrate concepts and practices in the book together and share our experiences and hopes for moving forward as our own alchemical healer.
Fabulous for somatic practitioners and those who are new to somatic work, and everyone in between.
You’ll learn how to use and make flower essences as well as how and where to apply essential oils for somatic treatments and everyday support.
This group is limited to 8 people.
Registrants will be mailed the book, and a flower essence and an essential oil that they’ll learn how to use for the month’s journey.

Group Somatic Therapy.
Tired of long waiting lists? Interested in learning about somatic therapy? Looking for an affordable alternative to 1:1 therapy? Come to Somatic Group Therapy! Come as you are. Each week we'll learn somatic (body-based) coping mechanisms as we learn with and from each other. Trauma-informed. Please contact me for a free required consultation if you're interested in learning more.
This group covers boundaries from metaphysical, emotional, and physical perspectives. We will gain tools for boundaries in all of these realms. This is a virtual group sessions over Zoom and containers last for 10 weeks. Spaces are limited for this small group.
Exact dates TBD when the group is full. Please reach out with any questions!
This is for you if…
you are ready to move beyond old patterns, feel at home in your body, and experience more ease and intimacy in life and love.
You've done the work, but still feel disconnected from yourself, your body, or others.
You want to alchemize your challenges into your gifts and know yourself deeper.
You deserve a trauma informed container that can hold you fully-emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I believe that healing is not just about reducing symptoms, but reclaiming pleasure, connection, and wholeness. Join us as I guide you as you uncover the wisdom that lives in your body!
Pandemic Processing
***Pandemic Processing available for groups (work, church, communities, families)***
Process groups can be a powerful way to experiment with new ways of being together and to have a profound sense of connection around shared experiences.
Inspired by elders who emphasize the importance of healing in community, this group ritual will be a practice of holding safe space for each participant to share their experiences. As the saying goes, 'What doesn't get expressed gets suppressed." Our body holds these stories. Come heal and move towards thriving in these difficult times.
What shifts have happened in your life in these pandemic years?
What have you learned about yourself?
Have you processed all the craziness we are going through individually and collectively?
What needs witnessing and releasing?
If you've been wanting to work through the stress of the pandemic this will be an invaluable community practice. You'll take away some somatic experiencing tools, learn about your nervous system, practice healthy empathetic boundaries, and feel the empowerment and connection of a community ritual.
Facilitated by Tiffany Trimble-Gardner. Costs vary depending of group size and include specific nervous system teachings, somatic techniques, movement practices, and group processing. Sessions are generally 3 hours long, and interspersed with movement and practices to ensure the time is digestible and effective, without being overwhelming.
