I believe that nourishing yourself, so you can feel like yourself, is inherently worthwhile. For those of us motivated by relationships, though, let’s talk about how self-care benefits the people around you, and how couples can practice self care.

My definition of self-care is informed by my specialization in somatic therapy and attachment, specifically secure attachment with yourself. I define self-care as anything that your body, mind, and heart needs – that you can provide – to feel cared for and nourished. 

Practical tools to use before and during a nerve-wracking conversation, so you can trust that you’ll show up as the best version of yourself for your partner: authentic, honest, and confident, while being caring, loving, and kind.

Be more authentic with your partner(s) without guilt, fear, or avoidance. you can stop people-pleasing in relationships and communicate your needs in a healthy way: Through the combination of knowing ourselves deeply, believing that we deserve to advocate for our own needs in relationship, and using somatic regulation and effective communication skills.
