What is the S•B•B Method?
S•B•B stands for Stillness, Breathing, & Breakthrough.
I guide people into a state of deep relaxation, where the body feels safe enough to share what it has been holding. From this calm place, memories or emotions often rise to the surface—things that were never fully expressed at the time they happened. Together, we gently give space for those feelings to be felt and released, whether through tears, words, or simply breath. I listen, witness, and hold steady presence. This process helps the body complete what was left unfinished, softening the weight of old triggers and creating space for more freedom, peace, and wholeness. Where necessary, we will set up healthy boundaries for you and others. We’ll finish up by adding these new tools to your inventory and providing extra resources where necessary.
How the S•B•B Method Relates to Psychology
The way I work is very similar to some well-known therapeutic practices:
• Like Somatic Experiencing, I help people notice what’s happening in their body and allow it to guide the healing.
• Like Focusing, I trust the body’s “felt sense” to show us what needs attention.
• Like trauma-informed grief work, I give space for emotions that were never fully expressed to finally move through.
These approaches are all grounded in the understanding that our bodies carry memories, unexpressed feelings, and stress responses. When we safely revisit them in a calm, supportive state, the body and mind can finally complete what was left unfinished—and the trigger loses its charge.
What Makes My S•B•B Method Unique
Where my approach is different is in the tone and intention:
• I create a deeply relaxed state (often through yoga nidra-inspired techniques) where the body feels safe enough to bring forward what’s ready.
• I don’t analyze, label, or try to “fix”—instead, I hold space for the natural process of release.
• The focus is on listening—to the body, to emotions, to the wisdom that’s already inside.
• My role is to be a steady, compassionate presence while the person expresses what they couldn’t before—whether that’s crying, remembering, or simply breathing.
Many people describe leaving a session feeling lighter, clearer, and no longer weighed down by what once felt overwhelming.
My Journey
For over twenty years, I lived, (and nearly died), trapped in an eating disorder. I was diagnosed with depression, suicidal ideations, anxiety, and OCD, and told there was little hope of recovery. Medications and therapy helped at times, but the triggers never stopped, and life often felt out of control.
When I became a mom, postpartum depression and the stress of parenting only intensified the chaos. Choosing recovery from the eating disorder didn’t bring relief; it stripped away my coping mechanism and exposed years of buried emotions I had carried from deep trauma.
Alongside my personal struggles, I was also working as a nurse. For over 13 years, I walked with people through illness, grief, and healing. I learned how profoundly the body holds trauma, and how often emotional pain shows up as physical symptoms. My nursing experience gave me compassion and perspective, but it was my own healing journey that showed me how to live that truth in daily life.
I taught myself emotional regulation while helping my kids heal from the patterns they had absorbed from my trauma. I came to believe that our mistakes are not proof of failure, they are our learning ground. When we allow stored emotions to be felt and released, we change our perceptions. And when we change our perceptions, our lives transform. As I healed, my kids began to heal too, learning to express themselves in healthier ways.
Healing, I’ve discovered, is both simple and profound: teaching the body it is safe to feel, giving emotions space to move, and practicing regulation so the past no longer controls the present.
Healing has also taught me that we don’t need to do this alone. When we learn to feel, regulate, and release, life opens in ways we never thought possible. My role is to give you tools, safety, and support until you can carry them on your own.
If you feel ready to begin this journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
