LET YOUR SOUL SHINE AGAIN, SIS.

I SEE YOU & FEEL YOU.

Struggling the way I did. Out of balance. Feeling stuck, overwhelmed
with stress, anxiety & depression & unable to find your center.

I SEE YOU...

Exhausting yourself trying to make all the ends of your life meet.

Hiding from the world when you feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed
and alone, afraid to be ‘seen’.

 

Trying to please everyone around you to make them happy when inside
you feel like you are dying from the pain and discomfort in your own being.

Struggling to find your way through this life constantly wondering if you are
‘doing it right’ and on the path of your destiny & purpose.

I FEEL YOU...

Disconnected from yourself as you try to help and care for everyone else around
you, unsure how to do the same for your own self.

 

Those days when your very own emotions paralyze you with fear, sadness and a
feeling of hopelessness.

 

Afraid to be ALL YOU in fear of judgment, abandonment and ridicule so you play
small to stay safe. ashamed of your very own sensuality & sexuality and how to really
enjoy your own body and experience pleasure on all levels of your life.

SIS, THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE YOUR PATH.

You don’t have to struggle anymore. But I totally get it, because I was there once too. Most of my life felt like an emotional rollercoaster ride, until 3 years ago when I discovered Somatic Healing Modalities and the deeper Conscious Healing work.  Up until then, life felt chaotic and unsafe. It was a living hell.

 

You want to feel secure, confident, balanced, connected and emotionally regulated but you have no idea where to begin as it seems as though your emotions and negative thinking hijack your sense of safety, peace and inner ease & joy

HERE IS MY STORY

I'M THE QUEEN OF FEELING FEAR
AND DOING IT ANYWAY

I fiercely follow my heart and it's taken me on some beautiful and sometimes frightening adventures all around the globe. I have a wild spirit and have lived around the world in five different countries which has shaped my life to this day. 

 

After graduating from university when everyone else was getting jobs, marrying and settling down. I took off to be a whitewater raft guide on the Arkansas River in beautiful Colorado. That was the gateway to a life filled with travel and extreme adventures in nature.

 

Even when everyone thought I was nuts (including my family), I set sail to experience a whole new life; living, working and traveling in Colombia, South America.

 

In addition to living in Colombia, I spent time working and kayaking in Patagonia, Chile on the Futaleufu (one of my favorite life memories!). I was also a fisherwoman on a commercial salmon boat in Alaska for a summer, and I spent months working and traveling through Australia and New Zealand working on farms and gardening in my late 20’s. I also lived in Oaxaca, Mexico and fell in love with this magical place to eventually build a business that allows me to frequently visit and share my passion with others for the sacred land and beautiful people & culture. I wouldn’t trade these life experiences for ANYTHING.

another one of our somatic workshops
amy who runs all of our somatic workshops

I live for adventure, for seeing the world and experiencing different ways of life, cultures and landscapes. Anywhere I go, I always find the places in nature that speak to my soul; mountains, rivers, oceans and time under star filled skies.

 

The thing is though, part of those years were spent looking outside of myself to fill the void I felt inside and to sooth the emotional rollercoaster.

 

There were a lot of highs and also a lot of lows as I wasn’t addressing the deeper emotional baggage and unresolved trauma I was carrying. I was unaware it even existed.

GETTING REAL

My story is unique, diverse, and one filled with adversity as I’m sure yours is too.

 

Throughout my life journey, I overcame and survived great challenges involving addictions, eating/exercise disorders, codependency, emotional trauma & abuse and brutal heartache. And through it all I’ve learned about adversity and chaos: Hard times help us realize that we can take on ANYTHING.

 

They help us build resilience. They humble us. They build our muscle to fight, to try again, to rise like a phoenix and fly.

 

Our stories look different I’m sure, but I’d be willing to bet that you faced your fair share of challenges too. Some made you stronger, solidifying your purpose… while others may have caused you to doubt everything you thought was true. But no matter what you’ve been through, one thing I know is that with each struggle, we can either become stronger or break. We can be pushed away from our purpose or become ever more connected to it.

 

We can turn our pain into purpose…

THE AWAKENING CATALYST

Breakups seem to be the ultimate catalyst and I’ve had a few over these 40 some years! Ultimately, they’ve helped highlight the unresolved wounded parts of myself, little did I know THAT was the source of the pain at the time.

 

The big catalyst for me was right at the start of the pandemic in 2020. Everything fell apart, including a relationship with a man I loved deeply. Him leaving was the best gift he could have given me. The pain of losing him was so excruciating that it drove me to surrender and find a whole new way to heal myself and ultimately; love, care for and show up for my own self.

 

The pain was so intense that it drove me to explore different modalities of healing and I knew there was something deeper that I was ready to address. My openness, willingness and ability to surrender is what allowed me to embark on this journey with courage and finally deal with the unresolved emotional trauma I had experienced over my life.

I WAS READY

I didn’t want the pill or the quick fix...

 

I had tried everything; looking for happiness in all the wrong places: work, men, travel, exercise, adventure, alcohol, food; you name it, I tried it! It wasn’t until I started doing Somatic Experience Healing work that I could see that everything I sought was already inside of myself. 

 

And all I needed to do was turn the search of looking outside of myself to feel better to this very own homecoming, to meet my own self. To allow myself to feel emotions, to express, and to trust my own heart and soul and stop looking for that outer validation. As a highly sensitive Soul & empath, I learned to embrace the gift to feel so deeply and learn how to express that energy rather than suppress it and suffer.

 

Somatic Experience Therapy coupled with meeting my inner child, shadow work, Internal Family Systems and learning about attachment styles, helped me make sense of myself and my life, allowing the deeper layers to open. I understood my experience in a way that helped me see that I wasn’t broken or needed to be fixed, I just needed to clear out the emotional energetics and unresolved trauma that lived inside of my body while rewiring the limiting beliefs I had created about myself through programing, conditioning and early imprinting.

TAKING THE LEAP

I invested in mySELF. And everything started to shift and change, slowly; from the inside out. I started to say NO to everything that didn’t feel like a HELL YEA in my body. I started to treat myself like my own best friend and reparent that scared little girl inside of me.

I worked with alternative therapies and somatic healing practitioners. I invested in my health on all levels; physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and financial. I embarked on a business coaching program. I became obsessed about energy, frequency and vibration on all levels.

I started studying the energy of money and abundance and worked on my worth, ‘soul’ esteem and ability to receive. And I learned how to rewire my very own body, mind and nervous system along the way.

FACING THE FEAR AND DOING IT ANYWAY

On the other side I experienced liberation, freedom and gave myself permission to be ALL ME; wild, raw, messy, real and sensual; living in alignment with MY own truth, my HELL YEA’S, and what ultimately ignites my heart & soul and allows me to live in alignment to my true soul expression.

AND I'M HERE TO TELL YOU - YOU CAN TOO BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT

Within 2 years I learned the ultimate empowerment tools by releasing unresolved emotional baggage, experienced liberation & freedom while creating the life of my dreams. And it all started with Somatic & Integrative modalities of healing to clear what was blocking me.

Everything changed. From the inside out. And my outer world changed too. I moved to Sedona, Arizona where I am currently a Somatic Practitioner and Embodiment Guide. I am leading Womens Radical Pursuits trips again down in the lands I love and I am living my life in 100% alignment to my passions and purpose on a daily basis.

AGAIN, YOU CAN TOO SIS

I’ve never looked back. I love what I do and I’m proud of the life I’ve created, outside of the ‘box’ society says it should look like. I wake up feeling grateful, excited, and aligned with what I came here on Earth to do; live as a free sovereign woman capable of living a life she loves and helping other women do the same.

With some safe & supportive guidance, the right practices, and some dedicated inner work, it’s 100% possible for you too to experience this emotional freedom and liberation!

You can absolutely transition into your own emotional and personal freedom and liberation.

YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE

You’re ready to get out of your own way; you’re tired of repeating the same patterns over and over. You’re exhausted trying to ‘figure it all out’, how to get off the emotional ups and downs roller coaster, you’re over the burnout cycle that constantly ‘doing’ offers, or perhaps you’re feeling like there is something more to life and that you have to share with the world but you’re unsure where to begin and what the first step to clearing out the blocks entails.

  • You feel stressed and anxious

  • Frustrated with traditional therapy ~ you keep talking about the same things and repeating these patterns in your life.

  • Depressed and caught in an endless loop of high highs and low lows

  • Afraid; to be seen, to use your voice, to express yourself authentically, or to make a much needed change in your life

  • Exhausted from trying to make everyone else around you happy that you have nothing left for yourself

  • Disconnected to yourself; how you feel, what you want and deeply desire

  • Stuck in a job or relationship that makes you feel miserable

  • Frustrated in “God” or whatever you believe Higher Power to be and unsure how to open up and surrender

  • Hesitant to trust; yourself, life, and others

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF

I told you there was another way to move through life without having to carry the emotional baggage & trauma of the past. What if I told you that freedom, liberation and feeling lighter in your body was 1000% possible? And that you could rewire your body and mind for a new reality of how you think, feel and live your life? And how to find safety within, no matter what is happening outside of yourself.

You see, most of us think, if I just talk this out, figure it out in my head, everything will make sense and I can move on and be free. Yup, that’s what I thought too. But traditional talk therapy works only so far, it’s half of the puzzle. The other missing half is addressing the ‘body memory’ of events in our lives and the emotions and energy that gets stored in the tissues if we’re not expressing ourselves freely through breath, sounding, speaking, and emotional release techniques.

“The issues are in our tissues.” -John Paul Crimi

Most of us learn this unconsciously early on in our lives due to imprinting, conditioning and programming to suppress our emotions, and our very own breath.

More on this later if you choose to work with me!

How do I find more lightness, ease, confidence and deeper connection to my own self, to life, to others and whatever greater power is in charge of this rodeo anyway?

How can I empower my own soul to heal and integrate the life experiences that have impacted and even traumatized me?

How do I let go of all of this fear, stress, anxiety, sadness, confusion and FEEL GOOD inside my body and being?

How do I express the most authentic version of myself and tap into my sensual & sexual power in order to find more pleasure and joy in all aspects of my life?

How do I let my Soul Shine again? I know that ‘shine’ is in there!

IN RADICAL NEW YOU, I’M GOING TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS AND SHOW YOU HOW. I’VE BEEN THERE, AND I ALSO KNOW WHAT’S POSSIBLE. I WENT FROM FEELING STUCK, POWERLESS, UNSURE & EMOTIONALLY DYSREGULATED TO CLEARING THE EMOTIONAL/ENERGETIC BLOCKS, TRUSTING MYSELF, FEELING CONFIDENT, FREE & LIBERATED. YOU DON’T RELEASE TRAUMA BY TALKING OR BY WISHING IT AWAY, YOU DIVE IN, COMMIT & RELEASE THE ISSUES STORED IN THE TISSUES AS WELL AS EMBODY THE INTEGRATION PROCESS INTO YOUR DAILY LIFE.

THIS 3 MONTH JOURNEY IS FOR YOU IF YOU ARE FEELING...

  • Burnt out in ANY way; mind, body, spirit or from the last few years navigating COVID!

  • Stressed, frazzled and at the end of your rope

  • Exhausted and tired of being a human ‘doing’ all the time; trying so hard in every arena of your life

  • Unseen & unheard; invisible

  • Codependently taking care of everyone else but yourself and feeling like it’s your responsibility to make others happy, fix their problems or help them in some way. And if you don’t, you feel guilty aka cycle of doom.

  • Have fears around trust & control. You experience hypervigilance and have a hard time letting your guard down.

  • PTSD from past abuse (emotional, physical, psychological, sexual)

  • Fearful; to take risks, to try something new, or even to be YOU for fear of judgment, criticism or ridicule.

  • Uncertain of your passions & purpose and how to live a life you truly love and are excited about

Transformational Conscious Breathwork Journeys (Rebirthing lineage)

Breathwork is one of the most powerful somatic healing modalities I’ve discovered personally and I’m thrilled to share this practice that helps one connect to their deepest self, clear out stored emotions/traumas & open up to one’s truth, connect to the divine within and without and to open to the infinite possibilities in every moment! Some possibilities in these Conscious Breathwork Journeys are;

  • Deepen a spiritual connection

  • Dissolve stress and anxiety issues

  • Release old baggage and dis empowering beliefs

  • Increased levels of awareness and intuition

  • Heal emotional contributors to physical dis-ease

  • Unblock the creative process

  • Provide a safe and natural way to experience expanded states of consciousness

  • And much more...

Discover & Ignite Your Passions & Purpose

Embodied Somatic Release through Goddess Yoga Class

What is Goddess Yoga? It's the Art of Sacred and Sensual movement...
It is a combination of ancient, powerful rituals that create profound transformation in women.
Welcome to a practice you are going to fall in love with.

  • women leaving unhealthy relationships

  • women beginning to speak their truth in all areas of their lives​

  • women rising up into their natural gifts and talents, and really cultivating and owning them​

  • women stopping the habit of playing small in their lives

  • women shifting out of shame and judgment about their bodies and instead beginning to have a deep connection to the sacredness of their bodies

  • women developing a healthier connection to their desire for pleasure

  • women being more open to allowing sexual energy to move through their bodies

Intuitive Integrations

Somatic Embodiment Experience is a journey & process. Because the work goes deep, we take time to integrate what comes up in between sessions so that we can really harness the ‘gold nuggets’ of what arises through the journey, unique to everyone. I help guide you to see insights, ah-ha’s, takeaways and the deeper meanings and continuously point you home to your own self, your own wisdom and answers. Because sis, YOU are your most powerful healer and it all begins with accepting where you are, taking responsibility, holding yourself accountable and trusting yourself; every damn day with a heart full of grace, compassion and love for your imperfectly perfect human self. To hold your own self, to feel all the feels and find safety in your own being because that’s where safety, wholeness and love resides; inside your very own Soul. From that place of connection, safety and knowing; you learn to trust yourself no matter what life throws your way.

I'll leave you with this...

You can either continue down the path of struggling & suffering inside, moving through life disregulated, seeking things outside of yourself to make you happy, continuously feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, exhausted trying to figure yourself and your life out, feeling defeated and full of self-doubt…

  • Your life will stay the same

    You’ll keep doing the same things, thinking the same limiting thoughts and feeling the same overwhelming emotions giving your power away to the external world and people. You’ll remain disconnected from yourself, others, life, your passions and purpose in this state of survival.

     

    When you lose sight of the infinite powerful being you are, when you lose your center of power; you have forgotten the miracle that you are sis. You are a vessel of infinite possibility and potential. And only YOU; can unlock that - inside of your own self.

     

    My purpose is to help you come home to the truth of who you are, to guide you home to your heart and the depths of your soul to remember

  • WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE. 

    #POWERFUL #DIVINE #INFINITE #RADIANT #GODDESS #LOVE

    You can choose to change your destiny.

    If you want your life to be different, you have to do something different.

  • Make a new choice.

    Pursue the RADICAL NEW YOU ~ Pursue a new way to experience yourself and your life and watch your life change before your eyes.

    Take my hand, I’ve got you ~ LET’S GO!

somatic workshops with Amy Schweim

I have a wild spirit and have lived around the world in six different countries which has shaped my life to this day. I overcame and humbly survived great challenges involving addictions, eating/exercise disorders, codependency, emotional trauma & abuse and brutal heartache.

 

But here’s the thing I’ve learned about adversity and chaos: Hard times help us realize that we can take on ANYTHING.

 

They help us build resilience. They humble us. They build our muscle to fight, to try again, to rise like a phoenix and fly.

 

Our stories look different I’m sure, but I’d be willing to bet that you faced your fair share of challenges too.

 

Some made you stronger, solidifying your purpose… while others may have caused you to doubt everything you thought was true. But no matter what you’ve been through, one thing I know is that with each struggle, we can either become stronger or break. We can be pushed away from our purpose or become ever more connected to it.

 

We can turn our pain into purpose...

 

And that’s exactly why I created my RADICAL NEW YOU JOURNEY. I have touched the depths of my own soul through my personal experiences and personal & professional healing & integrative journey. I like to think of myself as a mermaid; I don’t fear the depths. And I know as a practitioner we can only lead our clients as far as we are willing to go. So whaddya say, let’s dive deep together?

You don’t have to do this alone ~ I got you sis

Why a Somatic Trauma Informed approach to this journey?

First, we ALL experience some level of trauma throughout our lives; subtle, extreme or vicarious. Think of it, entering this world is traumatic for both mother and child. Trauma is part of life, living with it though is a choice and my passion is to help you unlock the energy of it in your body. You don’t have to be a prisoner to the imprint of trauma.

 

Animals have an amazing ability to recover from trauma innately once it’s no longer present.

 

Humans on the other hand hold onto their trauma with lingering feelings of shame, guilt, and fear, and often develop conditions like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

 

The traumatic experience literally becomes “stuck” in our bodies, which can take a huge toll on our physical and emotional well-being and have reverberating effects on our relational connections, self-worth, and ability to function.

 

That’s where the method of Somatic Experiencing and Somatic Therapy come in.

 

Somatic Experiencing, and Integration address the long term effects of trauma by helping people fully process their traumatic experiences in their bodies rather than by simply speaking about them.

 

Somatic Integration and Body Psychotherapy are multi-dimensional approaches, taking inspiration from many different areas of study such as Biology, Psychology, Stress Psychology, Ethology, Neuroscience, Indigenous Healing Practices and Medical Biophysics.

 

Somatic Experiencing and Integration work by tapping into our autonomic nervous system (ANS), which encompasses the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system, and the enteric nervous system.

 

All of these systems react in particular ways in the face of trauma: fight, flight, or freeze. 

 

Although the autonomic nervous system is designed to be self-regulating, when a traumatic experience occurs and isn’t fully processed in your body, your system can get out of whack.

 

That means even though the traumatic event or threat is long gone, your body still responds as though it is in the presence of trauma and threat.

 

Somatic Experiencing, Integration and Body Psychotherapy are designed to help re-regulate your system back to the way it operated before the traumatic event occurred.
