A Healing Space Where You Showing Up Is Already Enough.
Hiya (he-yah)
After many of us go through traumatic experience(s), we may feel shame to even admit it as so. Sometimes these experiences are confided with a loved one only to be invalidated by their well meaning intention.
- Are you someone who excels in school, work, but finds it challenging to rest?
- Are you someone who prioritizes family, friends, co-workers but wonders how come there’s never “enough” time for yourself?
- Are you someone who cheers on others’ bodies but has difficulty giving the same praise for yourself?
- Are you someone who steps up to the plate for their community but crumbles anytime you speak with your closest loved ones?
- Are you someone who craves close connection but find yourself running away from intimacy?
If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, allow yourself the permission to explore in a supportive space.
