In a world that demands speed, perfection, and hustle, Tender Circle offers something radical: space to soften, space to stay, and space to heal.
Grounded in the trauma-informed MOIRA Process™ and held within a confidential, compassionate container, the Tender Circle is a monthly women’s circle designed to restore your nervous system, nourish your energy, and reconnect you to your deepest knowing.
Join us in Lewiston, NY and experience a new way of being — one rooted in presence, resonance, and community.
✔ You’re feeling burned out, scattered, or untethered.
✔ You want to reconnect with your body, energy, and intuition.
✔ You crave real community — not performance, not perfection, but presence.
✔ You’re ready to heal, not by striving harder, but by softening into who you already are.
✔ You’re longing for a space that honors your pace.
You are not broken. You are becoming. And you don’t have to do it alone.
Join a Tender Circle – a trauma-informed space for healing, resonance, and connection in Western New York.
In the Tender Circle, there’s no need to force anything open. We honor the wisdom of pacing—trusting that whatever needs tending will rise when it’s ready, and will be met with care. You’ll be guided through practices like breathwork, gentle reflection, optional sharing, and energy-based healing like Reiki or sound. Nothing is performative. Everything is invitational.
We follow the MOIRA Process™ as a guide to embodied healing, energetic restoration, and soulful alignment:
⭕️ M – We arrive fully in the moment. Let your body settle. Let your breath slow. We begin by meeting ourselves right where we are, without pressure or expectation.
⭕️ O – We open to what your heart is carrying. Grief, joy, fear, longing — nothing is too much, and nothing is unwelcome. We honor what rises.
⭕️ I – We listen for the wisdom within. Insight doesn’t come from force; it comes from the gentle unfolding that happens when we feel safe enough to hear ourselves.
⭕️ R – We return to resonance and restore your energy. We clear what’s heavy, refill what’s been depleted, and reconnect with the easeful hum of our true nature.
⭕️ A – We anchor into Self and each other. Healing is amplified in community. Together, we witness, celebrate, and practice gratitude for the path we are walking.
This isn’t group coaching. This isn’t therapy. This isn’t about “fixing” yourself. This is a healing circle. A remembering. A return to your breath, your body, your truth.
I’m so glad you found your way here. I created the Tender Circle because I know what it feels like to be carrying too much for too long—and not being able to slow down. To crave stillness, support, and healing, while not knowing how to find it.
I’m a trauma-informed energy healer, somatic practitioner, and spaceholder for women who are exhausted from holding it all together. Women who are grieving, unraveling, becoming. Women who are ready to reconnect with their breath, their body, and their truth—but who may not know where to begin.
I’m also a Board Certified Coach, Sound Healer, Yoga Teacher, and mama of two living children and one in the stars. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling and a Ph.D. in Education. But more than that, I’m a woman who has sat with grief, walked through trauma, and slowly found my way back to resonance.
The practices I guide in this circle are the ones that helped me come home to myself. And I’d be honored to help you do the same.
In a world full of healing modalities, Tender Circle offers something deeper. The Tender Circle is a trauma-informed healing circle rooted in the MOIRA Process™—a gentle, spiral-based framework that guides us through nervous system regulation, emotional presence, deep insight, energetic restoration, and community connection. We believe in:
💛 Capacity before tools. We build nervous system safety before layering practices.
💛 Spaciousness before solutions. You don’t have to strive for breakthroughs—you’re honored for simply showing up.
💛 Healing in community, not isolation. Healing unfolds more powerfully when we are witnessed, celebrated, and seen.
💛 Permission, not prescription. There are no “right ways” to heal here—only your way, honored at your own pace.
💛 Being first, doing second. We focus on restoring your body’s natural flow and ease, not checklists for healing.
💛 Process over perfection. You can’t do this wrong. Here we practice the art of tending—to your body, heart, mind, and soul. If it gets messy? Beautiful. That means it’s working.
Here, we don’t “achieve” healing. We live into it—breath by breath, choice by choice, together.
This isn’t just an hour to pause—it’s a pathway back to yourself.
Tender Circle is a space where healing becomes less about doing and more about allowing. Where the nervous system can exhale, the heart can soften, and the energy that’s been stuck, scattered, or silenced begins to move again.
Over time, this healing circle can gently help you:
Build capacity in your nervous system so you don’t just “cope”—you feel safe being in your body again.
Reconnect to your energy—not just to release what’s heavy, but to refill what’s been emptied.
Access emotion without being overwhelmed by it, and trust that whatever rises will be held with care.
Tune back into your own wisdom, so you’re not always looking outside yourself for answers.
Experience healing in community, which science and Soul agree is one of the most powerful forms of medicine.
Each circle follows the MOIRA Process™—a spiral-shaped path that honors where you are and supports where you’re going. Whether you come once or return again and again, you’ll be planting seeds of safety, insight, and resonance in your system.
This is how healing becomes sustainable—not by forcing a breakthrough, but by restoring your relationship to your Self.

Reiki I makes this possible. And in this training, I’ll show you how.
That’s okay. Really. This circle isn’t about performing your emotions—it’s about showing up just as you are. Some women cry. Some feel quiet or numb. Some simply rest in the presence of others. All of it is welcome here.
Your nervous system is wise. It will open in its own time and in its own way. You don’t need to force anything to be part of this space.
Yes. If you’re feeling drawn to the idea of healing in community—even if it feels a little tender or unfamiliar—this space is for you. You don’t need to have any prior experience with energy work, women’s circles, or spirituality. This is a space that meets you exactly where you are, and honors the pace of your own unfolding.
Nope. Sharing is always optional. This is a permission-based space—not a pressure-based one. You’re invited to engage in whatever way feels safe for you. Listening is participating. Breathing is participating. Your presence is enough.
No way. Healing isn’t linear—and it isn’t a race. In fact, this space was created because so many women feel like they’re always “catching up” or “not doing enough.” Here, we slow down. We soften. And we let the process move at the speed of your nervous system—not the pace of the outside world.
The Tender Circle isn’t therapy or group coaching. It’s a trauma-informed healing circle rooted in the MOIRA Process™—a gentle, spiral-based framework that guides us through grounding, emotional presence, deep insight, energetic restoration, and community connection.
You’ll be guided through practices like breathwork, gentle reflection, optional sharing, and energy-based healing like Reiki or sound. Nothing is performative. Everything is invitational.
That’s exactly why this circle exists. You don’t have to show up with energy—you come to receive it. The Tender Circle is not about effort or striving. It’s a space to rest, to be held, to return to resonance. Come messy. Come unsure. Come exhausted. You don’t need to be “ready”—you just need to arrive.
