Restful Sleep

Have you ever wished you could wake up inside your dreams?

I’m hosting a 3-hour experiential workshop where you’ll learn a gentle, science-backed approach to lucid dreaming — perfect for beginners or anyone who’s had “almost lucid” moments and wants reliable guidance.

You’ll discover how to:
🌙 Remember more dreams (consistently)
🌙 Increase dream vividness
🌙 Use lucid dreaming techniques in a way that feels natural
🌙 Stay calm and stay lucid once it happens
🌙 Build a simple 14-day lucidity plan you can follow at home

This is a grounded, somatic, nervous-system-friendly introduction — no hacks, no sleep disruption, just a clear path to lucidity that works with your body.

If this calls you, I’d love to have you there. ✨

Lucid Dreaming: A Skill Everyone Can Learn What if part of your night could be conscious, creative, and healing? Learn how to lucid dream in this 3-hour workshop open to everyone.

Most of us know this one: big deadline, busy brain, you finally drift off… and a 3 a.m. nightmare yanks you awake.
Next day you’re foggy in meetings, snappier than you’d like, and behind on the work that matters.
Nightmares are common in stressful seasons of life: new projects, layoffs, illness, breakups. They don’t just steal rest, they chip away at focus, patience, and confidence.
The good news: you can change this gently with the following techniques:

Evidence-based Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT) has you rewrite the dream while awake and practice a safer ending until your brain learns it.
Exposure, Relaxation, and Rescripting Therapy (ERRT) pairs relaxation with rescripting so it’s easier to settle after a bad dream.
And Lucid Dreaming Therapy, sleep-first, lucidity-lite skill that includes simply noticing you’re in a dream and choosing a softer response, also shows promise when taught carefully.

You don’t need a perfect routine.
Tomorrow morning, jot three quick notes from your dreams before you touch your phone—people, places, feelings.
Later, spend five minutes outlining one recurring dream in neutral language and give it a calmer ending you can believe.
At night, dim the lights, slow your exhale, and remind yourself: “If a dream gets intense, I’ll use my new ending.”
If awareness shows up in the dream, keep it simple—turn toward the scene, call in a helper, or walk to a safer room.

If you do wake from a nightmare tonight:
feel your feet, breathe out longer than you breathe in, whisper your new ending once, and let yourself drift back.

I help people make nights feel safer and days feel clearer—with or without lucid dreaming.

What’s one small change you’re willing to try tonight?

If your brain won’t switch off at night, what if you could help it—from inside a dream?

There’s a gentle skill that can help: lucid dreaming (simply: realizing you’re in a dream while the dream continues).

Why this matters for your sleep
Less bedtime anxiety --> Knowing awareness can show up in dreams gives you a sense of control.
Fewer scary dreams--> You can learn to soften or redirect them.
More creativity--> Dreams become a safe sandbox for ideas.
Better self-understanding--> You see what your mind is processing—without forcing it.

What the science says (plain English)
In the vivid-dream stage, trained sleepers use a simple eye signal to say “I’m dreaming now.”
Researchers ask easy questions and get answers via those signals while people are still asleep.
Brain scans show dreamed actions light up movement areas, so this isn’t woo-woo, it’s measurable.

Start gently:
On waking, jot 3–5 quick dream bullets (people, places, feelings).
Bedtime phrase to repeat to yourself: “If I’m dreaming, I’ll notice and soften.”
One relaxed daytime check-in: “Am I dreaming?”
If you wake near morning, briefly rehearse noticing you’re dreaming, then roll back to sleep.

Summer of 2017, I fell in love.
With my own body, that is. I was at the Being Gathering festival in Portugal, going from one high-energy workshop to another as if I was the Duracell bunny. 🐰
Doing big, “loud” movement practices such as partner acrobatics and rock climbing was my only modus operandi. Slowing down never even crossed my mind.
Until I accidentally made my way into a workshop that seemed so painstakingly slow that I at first thought I would lose my mind.

And lose my (controlling) mind I did, in the best possible way.
It was an Awareness Through Movement workshop, part of the Feldenkrais Method, taught by .
We spent most of the time rolling on the floor, exploring movement in very subtle ways that were nonetheless pregnant with information about where I was holding tension, what were my habits and what others possibilities were available to me.

The practice required me to let go, let go, let go. Do less. And then do only 10% of that.
And in that space of subtlety, I regained a sense of appreciation for my body, for the intelligent ways it kept finding allostasis, easier pathways of movement with every new input it received.

I moved with more ease and grace. My anxiety lessened. I met someone new who I was sharing a body with.

A love was born.
I had to know more. With no hesitation, the following winter, I enrolled in the 4-year training held by

Due to Covid, my training ended up being a 7-year journey into not only a very intimate relationship with my body, but a discovery of new ways to relate to those I work with.

I learned how impactful our choice of words is.
How empowering touch feels like.
How to keep shedding judgment as a practitioner and approach movement education as an equal-footing conversation, rather than a “I am the one with knowledge, and you learn from me” power dynamic.

Today, I completed the training.
But this is when the real education starts. From now on, every single one of you I will be working with, online and in person, will be my teacher.

May the new chapter begin 🌬️
