When the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress-Disease Connection
This was my first book on Somatic Experience and it did not disappoint. It was easy to read, very informative without being clinical, and gave exercises to practice throughout. It’s also a great compliment reading to “When The Body Says No” by Gabor ...
Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma by Levine
This book is an absolute work of art that reads like poetry holding a mirror up to help you understand yourself more deeply. I found it to be very moving (many tears fell from feeling ‘seen’) and incredibly insightful.
This Is Woman's Work: Calling Forth Your Inner Council
A fantastic book that shares the author’s ten-year exploration of the subject and offers insight into breathing techniques, the history of how our airways came to be so small, and so much more! Digestible information shared in a storytelling format, ...

Regenerative Business: Align with Nature
An easy read full of motivational genius!
The Practice: Shipping Creative Work - Books
An easy read, and a beautiful reminder to business owners that just like the purpose of a beehive isn’t to make honey (rather it’s a by-product of a healthy hive), the sole purpose of business should be to make money, but rather be significant to the...
The Song of Significance: A New Manifesto
A refreshing, easy read that offers great marketing insight to small businesses trying to stand out in a crowded market. I took notes the whole way through!
