Healing Generational Trauma Begins in the Body

You’re doing everything “right.”
You meditate. You journal. You’re in therapy.
And still, you feel overwhelmed. Disconnected. Numb.

It might not be yours.

So much of what we carry isn’t just personal trauma.
It’s generational.

Wired into the nervous system.
Passed down through epigenetics.
Birthed in bodies that had to survive, without the space to feel safe.

The Soma Holds the Story

Your soma: your sensing, living body; remembers what the mind forgets.
The vigilance. The freeze. The disconnection from joy. The belief that rest is dangerous.
These patterns didn’t start with you.

They were shaped by:

  • Families surviving war, poverty, racism, colonialism

  • Women silenced, shamed, and overburdened

  • Lineages that never had time to exhale

And now… you’re the one who notices it.

That’s not a curse.
That’s a calling.

Nervous System Work Is Generational Work

When you begin to tend to your nervous system, not just in crisis, but in daily rhythm, you begin to repattern your lineage.

You teach your body it is safe to:

  • Slow down

  • Take up space

  • Say no

  • Receive

  • Rest

And that shift? It doesn’t just serve you.
It serves your children. Your parents. Your ancestors. Your community.

You become the breaker of cycles.
The bridge. The turning point.

Start With Small Devotions

You don’t have to dive deep into family history to begin.
You can start right here.
Right now.
With your breath. With your body. With a few minutes of practice each day.

That’s why I created Nervous System Devotionals:
Five short audio practices designed to anchor you into the body, gently.

This is trauma work that doesn’t retraumatize.
It’s ancestral healing that starts within.
It’s sacred remembering.

You are the one the lineage has been waiting for.
