Are you easily influenced in your relationships? Agree with people around you to keep the peace? Hard time knowing how you feel about something, especially when a stronger personality takes over?

If you’re highly sensitive, you might simply need more time and spaciousness to take in and process the world, however, it’s not the way society currently operates.

There’s nothing wrong with you.

You’re simply highly attuned to the energy of people around you, which is truly a GIFT to the people around you, but it can feel like a burden when you’re not sure how to manage your energy and you leave many interactions feeling depleted, overwhelmed, while also feeling like you’re not doing enough. It may have even led you to believe that you’re not a people person, even though you deeply value connection.

Maybe you’ve tried traditional methods like therapy and coaching to work on relationships and boundaries, and while it’s been helpful, it’s still taking a toll.

As someone with a sensitive nervous system, have you considered a somatic approach to healing?

I support clients on an ongoing basis to get to the root of what’s keeping them stuck in cycles of people-pleasing, having a hard time setting boundaries, and feeling overwhelmed to being able to:

• recognize and own their needs
• ask what support, and
• lean into the connected and supportive relationships they crave.

Hi! I’m Manisha

So happy you’re here!

If you relate to being an ambitious, highly sensitive, overachiever, you’ve landed in the right place. I suspect you’re no stranger to personal development and you’ve had great success in many areas of your life. I bet people would be surprised to hear you say you feel anxious at times, struggle with setting boundaries, and tend to hold back your true personality, except those you’re super close to and would like to be more at ease in all your relationships.

Connection is incredibly important to you and somehow you end up losing parts of yourself in order to keep that connection.

• You feel like you owe people your time and end up going above and beyond more often than not.
• You’re at work late getting one more thing done and then it’s expected of you.
• You default to your partner’s opinion and need some extra convincing to express your opinion.
• You find yourself in awkward situations or conversations where you wished you would have followed your instincts and now are having a hard time getting out of something.

You’ve done a ton of reading, listening to podcasts and been to therapy and/or coaching and while it’s been helpful, you know there’s a way to get deeper under the surface to the root of what’s keeping you stuck or what feels like a constant state of reacting to triggers you can’t control.

If you resonate with having a highly sensitive nervous system, this is even more challenging. When you’re sensitive to your environment and people around you, you’re often picking up on what people want and need — and through a whole host of conditioning, culture and possibly early trauma or difficult experiences, you have the ability to feel people’s pain – and you might even feel responsible for making sure they are ok.

Does this feel familiar?

While being empathetic is a gift (when wielded well), when you’re not sure how to separate your feelings from someone else’s, you take on more than what is yours more often than you realize.

Thinking your way through this and mentally willing yourself to push through discomfort is exhausting. You can do it, but I will tell you it’s not sustainable. It’s why you feel drained or exhausted around certain people and could be the cause of symptoms such as migraines, panic attacks, IBS, insomnia and other symptoms of stress.

The good news is that you can change your reaction to what’s upsetting you by working under the surface… with your body and nervous system.

I know this because I’ve lived it. I felt things so deeply that it was often overwhelming. I was always tuned into the feelings of others, often at my own expense. I would go out of my way to make sure others were ok but I wasn’t doing the same for myself. I would get triggered easily and take things personally because I was so disconnected from my own feelings, what I needed, and how my past experiences were seeping into my current relationships.

In my own long, winding healing journey, I started to understand what I needed to feel more grounded and connected to my body and realized the connection between the arguments in my relationship and experiences I had early in life that I hadn’t worked though, I learned more about relationship dynamics and how as someone who is highly sensitive, other people’s moods and energy really affected me. I was finally able to put the pieces together and do the inner healing work (somatic practices, rewiring my nervous system, attachment work) to shift how I was showing up in my relationship. THEN things drastically changed for the better.

I would LOVE to shorten this journey for you!
I know the power of somatic healing to transform your relationship. Strengthening your relationship to yourself and stepping into who you are changes your relationship on the outside!
