A Note From Jill...

somatic stress and trauma recovery coach, emotional healing coach Jill Marie Howell

Hi sweet friend! I don’t want you to stay stuck feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or chronically dealing with weird body symptoms anymore. I’ve been there and it’s a hopeless feeling when you don’t know how to get out of that state of surviving!

I struggled with anxiety, depression, C-PTSD, IBS, chronic neck/shoulder pain, suicidal ideation, and chronic fatigue as I recovered from decades of trauma and loss. It doesn’t define me anymore, but it’s a part of my story.

When I got to the ends of myself, it felt too overwhelming and hopeless. I wanted to give up.ย 

And because I know what it’s like, I don’t want another woman to feel stuck in that or even get to that dark place! Let’s get you unstuck…like yesterday! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Even if you weren’t taught how to move through stuck emotions, I want you to know THERE IS HOPE because you can learn simple skills and tools toย guide yourself through emotions with more ease. You don’t have to stay stuck in the maddening chaotic vortex of chronic stress and overwhelm anymore!

Your emotional health is the foundation of your life! When you are not okay inside of yourself, it affects the precious people around you, too. When you are dysregulated, that overflows onto your friends + family. You are either co-regulating bringing peace + ease to the relationships around you OR you are co-dysregulating perpetuating more dis-ease around you. I know from lived experience.

When you live from a state of chronic emotional dysregulation, you start to turn against yourself. You become frustrated + angry with yourself. You might even hate parts of who you are, which deepens your pain + suffering.

One night in 2020, I felt my lowest and my thoughts scared me. It was my defining moment where I decided I had to do something different, so I hired my first trauma recovery coach. This sent me on a journey of self-discovery and mind-body healing from a more integrative approach.

And because of this self-healing journey, I have learned a variety of mind-body healing modalities that helped me experience peace + joy again. I now intertwine them into my coaching. I believe sensitive women, like me, need a combined brain + body approach that includes somatic connection + movement, brain retraining, nervous system regulation, and parts work/inner child healing (also known as IFS therapy).

โžก๏ธ If you are ready to hop off the chaos trainย + learn new emotional regulation skills to coach yourself back to peace and stability, check out my 1:1 Coaching option for a personalized path that guides you to the root level of your pain. Once you learn these skills, you are forever equipped to respond to stress + triggers more effectively from a grounded state!

โžก๏ธ If you want to put your foot in the water and try to integrate some of these healing modalities on your own plus have a little extra guidance a few times a month, check out my Nourish Membershipย with a nervous system healing resource hub, live monthly somatic classes, and a safe community with other women!
