Back to Safety, Self-Trust, and Reclamation
for women healing after narcissistic abuse & relational harm
This is not a fix.
It is a return.
Not to who you were before the abuse—
but to who you have always been beneath survival.
You are standing at a threshold.
A moment where your body knows something your mind is still catching up to:
It’s time to come home to yourself.
RISE is a transformational, 6-portal healing journey created for women who have untangled themselves from narcissistic or relational abuse — but still feel its imprint in their nervous system, identity, and sense of self.
This offering is for the woman who is ready to stop surviving, and finally come home to herself.
It’s for the woman whose body still braces, whose heart still doubts, whose mind still loops in old patterns long after the relationship has ended.
It’s for the woman who knows: there has to be a deeper way to heal.
Inside RISE, you won’t just learn information — you will experience transformation through somatic work, emotional alchemy, nervous system regulation, breathwork, guided practices, and archetypal mentorship.
Together, we move through six portals of healing: rebuilding safety, retraining the nervous system, reparenting inner parts, reclaiming boundaries and truth, moving grief and rage safely, expanding capacity for joy, and integrating into self-led, grounded womanhood.
Every session is experiential.
Every portal is embodied.
This is healing that happens in your breath, your fascia, your choices, your voice — not just in your mind.
What makes RISE magical is its design:
It is built for survivors, by a survivor and licensed therapist who understands the complexity of this journey on every level — psychological, physiological, emotional, and spiritual.
Women in RISE don’t just feel supported; they feel witnessed, validated, and rewritten from the inside out.
If you’re craving a space where safety becomes real, boundaries become natural, and joy becomes possible again…
then RISE is for YOU!

• Is no longer in the relationship—but still feels it in her body
• Experiences anxiety, hypervigilance, shutdown, or emotional flooding
• Struggles with boundaries, self-trust, or chronic self-doubt
• Feels disconnected from her body, joy, or sense of identity
• Has tried talk therapy, insight, or mindset work—but still feels “stuck”
• Knows there has to be a deeper, more embodied way to heal
You are not broken.
Your nervous system adapted to survive.
RISE helps it stand down—gently, safely, and at its own pace.
You’re not yet in a place where somatic practices feel accessible.
RISE is rooted in breathwork, grounding, and body-based regulation.
If connecting to your body feels overwhelming or unsafe right now,
you may need more stabilization before entering this work — and that is okay.
You’re seeking a space to focus on them (the narcissist) rather than you.
RISE is a healing space — not an analysis or pathology space. While understanding patterns is a part of the healing journey and of the RISE experience, the emphasis here is on YOU. If you are still in the stage where your primary focus is still on the abuser,
you may benefit from additional support before turning inward.
You’re not yet comfortable being witnessed in community.
RISE is tender, warm, and slow — but it is a group experience.
You will never be forced to share, but you will be gently held by others.
If any amount of group presence feels too activating right now,
a 1:1 container might be more supportive.
You are currently in an unsafe or actively abusive environment.
RISE is for integration, not crisis response.
If you are still experiencing ongoing harm,
your safety and stabilization come first.
RISE is structured as a multi-portal journey, each one designed to build on the last.
We move slowly, intentionally, and safely—because your nervous system learns through experience, not force.
Inside RISE, you’ll work with:
• Somatic practices that restore safety and regulation
• Nervous system education you can feel—not just understand
• Breathwork and gentle embodiment practices
• Emotional processing that doesn’t overwhelm or retraumatize
• Archetypal guidance as a supportive frame
• Community held with clear boundaries and consent
Every portal is experiential.
Every practice is optional.
Your body leads the pace.
Over time, women in RISE experience:
A nervous system you can trust
You’ll learn how to shift out of anxiety, panic, freeze, or shutdown using tools that calm your body in real time.
A steady relationship with your body
Your body becomes a source of information and guidance—not fear or confusion.
Safety that holds, even when life gets hard
Especially during co-parenting, court processes, or ongoing stress.
Boundaries that feel natural—not forced
Less people-pleasing. Less second-guessing. More grounded voice.
Attachment repair from the inside out
Healing the patterns that once made red flags feel familiar.
Relief from rumination and overthinking
When your body feels safer, your mind finally quiets.
The return of your authentic self
Your voice, your needs, your intuition—no longer buried under survival.
An increased capacity for joy, ease, and pleasure
Not rushing into positivity—but gently expanding your window to receive the good.
A new baseline of calm
Not temporary regulation—but lasting change.
This process is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about creating the conditions where your body can finally do what it’s been trying to do all along:
Heal.
If you’re ready to stop surviving
and start living from a place of safety, clarity, and self-trust—
RISE is the gateway.


RISE meets you where you are: fractured, guarded, exhausted, unsure.
And it calls forward the version of you who always knew:
You are not broken.
This is a return.
A reweaving.
A sovereign reclamation.

Your safety
Your body
Your belonging
Your voice
Your boundaries
Your truth
Your joy
Your fire
Your wholeness


The Sanctuary of Safety is the foundation of the RISE journey.
This portal is devoted to helping your nervous system begin to recognize safety again — not as an idea, but as a lived, bodily experience.
For many women healing from relational or narcissistic abuse, safety was inconsistent or unavailable for a long time. The body adapted by staying alert, guarded, or disconnected. Even after the danger has passed, those patterns often remain.
This portal meets that reality with patience.
Rather than asking you to “feel safe,” the Sanctuary of Safety offers repeated, gentle experiences that allow your body to register steadiness, support, and permission to rest — at its own pace.
Through slow, somatic practices, you’ll be guided to:
arrive in the present moment,
orient to cues of safety in your environment and body,
build internal and external refuges that support regulation,
practice settling, resourcing, and self-holding,
and move without urgency or pressure to change.
This is a spacious beginning.
One that honors timing, choice, and nervous system intelligence.
Many participants linger here — returning to these practices as often as needed — because safety is not something we achieve once. It is something the body learns through repetition and care.
This portal is where healing begins, quietly and steadily, by allowing the body to realize:
I am here. I am supported. I can stay.


The Breathwalker guides you back to the quiet intelligence within your body —
the subtle rhythms that were once drowned out by chaos,
the natural pulse of aliveness that trauma taught you to hold your breath against.
In this portal, you begin to remember your body’s language —
the rise and fall of breath,
the beating of your heart,
the waves of emotion moving through your chest.
Because when you’ve lived in relational trauma,
your body learns to survive by disconnecting.
Breath becomes shallow, movement tight,
and stillness feels like danger instead of peace.
Here, we restore that connection.
You’ll learn how to work with your nervous system — not against it.
How to recognize your body’s cues for fight, flight, freeze, and fawn,
and respond with practices that bring you back into balance.
Through guided somatic sequences,
you’ll begin to feel what regulation truly means:
not forcing calm, but allowing safety to return, one breath at a time.
As capacity returns, energy starts to flow.
You begin to sense, stay, and soften —
no longer needing to leave yourself to feel safe.
This is the beginning of regulation —
the place where you can stay, witness, hold, guide, and return to yourself again and again.


The Ember Guardian kneels beside the younger parts of you still waiting to be seen.
She holds the sacred work of reparenting — offering warmth where neglect once lived.
This is the portal of remembrance — where the woman you’ve become
turns back to the girl who learned to survive,
and says, “You never had to earn love to deserve it.”
Here, you begin to tend the wounds left by your family of origin —
the places where love came with conditions,
where silence kept the peace,
and where your body learned to brace instead of belong.
Through this work, you start to interrupt the patterns you inherited —
the over-functioning, the self-doubt, the chasing of safety in others.
You begin to write a new story in your nervous system — one built on self-trust, not vigilance.
Through practices of self-holding, gentle movement, and inner-child dialogue,
you rebuild internal trust — moment by moment, breath by breath.
Each act of self-soothing tells your system: “You are safe to stay with you.”
Over time, these moments become your new internal rhythm —
a steady ember you can return to, even when the world feels cold.
This portal is about building enough safety to stay —
with your sensations, your truth, and your becoming.
Mantra: “I can be the warmth I once needed.”


This portal marks the sacred moment of reclamation —
where you begin to separate who you are from who you were told to be.
The Sentinel of Sovereignty stands beside you
as you untangle from the web of enmeshment, guilt, and obligation.
She helps you recognize what was never yours to carry —
and teaches you how to return it, gently but firmly, to where it belongs.
Here, you learn the anatomy of energetic boundaries —
not walls built from fear,
but membranes of discernment that allow what’s nourishing in
and keep what’s harmful out.
Through nervous system repair, you begin to understand that people-pleasing
was never a flaw — it was a survival strategy.
Your body learned that harmony equaled safety,
and that your own needs were a threat to connection.
In this portal, you retrain your system to tolerate truth —
to hold your “no” without collapsing,
to voice your “yes” without fear of loss.
As you reclaim self-trust, you discover that sovereignty isn’t isolation —
it’s intimacy with your own integrity.
Through embodied boundary practices, voice activation,
and energy-centering techniques,
you learn to take up space without apology —
to become the calm center of your own life again.
This portal is where the old contracts dissolve
and the new covenant with yourself begins:
I belong first to me.
Mantra: “My truth is my protection.”


The Devotional Alchemist invites you into the depths.
This is the sacred descent — the place where feeling becomes medicine.
Here, you meet what you’ve avoided: the grief that never had space to fall,
the rage that was never safe to speak,
the longing that still aches for what could have been.
In the Everdeep, these emotions are not enemies to escape —
they are holy teachers, carrying the wisdom of what was lost
and the power to create what comes next.
Through somatic release, sound, and breath,
you learn to let emotion move through you instead of overtake you.
You discover that expression is not the same as chaos —
it’s completion.
As you move with the current instead of against it,
you begin to sense your own strength rising from within —
not the strength of suppression,
but the strength of presence.
The nervous system learns that intensity can be safe,
that big emotion doesn’t mean danger anymore,
and that you can hold what once felt impossible.
The Devotional Alchemist teaches the sacred rhythm of transformation:
Feel. Move. Integrate. Rise.
In these depths, you are not drowning — you are remembering your depth.
Pain becomes passage.
Grief becomes ground.
And your own heart becomes the altar.
Mantra: “What I feel, I can transform.”


The Empress of Overflow restores the birthright of joy.
She arrives when the body is finally ready — not to forget the past,
but to hold life beyond it.
This is the portal of expansion —
where your nervous system learns that safety isn’t the ceiling of healing,
it’s the soil from which joy can grow.
The Empress teaches you to let your system hold more —
more pleasure, more abundance, more connection —
not as performance or pretense,
but as embodied truth.
Through sensory attunement, breath, and movement,
you practice receiving what’s good without flinching.
You learn that ease doesn’t mean laziness — it means regulation.
That pleasure isn’t indulgence — it’s repair.
Here, your nervous system widens its window of tolerance for joy.
You begin to trust softness, to savor stillness,
to find beauty without waiting for it to be taken away.
The Empress of Overflow is the guardian of creative flow, sensual vitality, and easeful receiving.
She reminds you that your capacity for joy is not fragile —
it’s regenerative.
In this portal, you reclaim the art of allowing:
to be held, to be nourished, to be fully alive.
This is not the end of the journey —
it’s the blooming after the burn,
the moment you realize your wholeness was never lost, only waiting to be lived.
Mantra: “My joy is my strength.”

The Sovereign Witness presides over your return.
She is the quiet strength that watches from within —
the part of you that no longer flinches, fixes, or flees.
The one who simply sees.
Here, healing turns from effort into embodiment.
Integration becomes devotion — not to becoming,
but to being.
This is the spiral —
the remembering that life will keep circling back,
offering new chances to practice what you’ve learned:
to stay, to regulate, to choose yourself again and again.
The Sovereign Witness helps you weave everything you’ve gathered —
the safety of the Threshold,
the breath of regulation,
the warmth of reparenting,
the boundaries of sovereignty,
the depth of alchemy,
the joy of overflow —
into one coherent wholeness.
You move from surviving to self-leading.
From chasing peace to embodying presence.
From seeking healing to living as the healed one.
The Sovereign Witness reminds you:
you are no longer the woman who abandoned herself.
You are the woman who returned —
and stayed.
Mantra: “Integration isn’t the end. It’s the art of staying whole.”


Your guided path through transformation.
The Portals form the core structure of RISE.
Each portal focuses on a specific phase of healing—such as safety, nervous system regulation, boundaries, emotional processing, and capacity for joy.
Every month, you’ll be guided through:
Somatic practices
Body-based exercises
Reflection and integration prompts
Live support and application
The portals are designed to move you step by step—from survival patterns toward greater stability, self-trust, and agency.
This is a paced, progressive journey that honors how trauma actually heals.

Education as illumination.
The Vault is a self-paced educational library that helps you make sense of your experience.
Inside, you’ll find clear, compassionate explanations of:
Narcissistic and coercive abuse dynamics
Manipulation and control patterns
Trauma bonding and attachment wounds
Why your responses made sense in context
This material is not about rehashing the past—it’s about restoring clarity and relieving the confusion and self-doubt that abuse creates.
You can engage with the Vault whenever you feel ready to understand the “why” behind what you lived through.

This space was created for you before you felt ready.
RISE doesn’t rush you. It meets you in the quiet yes — the one under fear, not louder than it.
If something in you is curious, you are already being called.
This isn’t mindset work or performance-based healing.
RISE is rooted in Somatic Healing: every portal uses guided meditations and practices to work directly with your body. It’s archetypal and trauma-informed. You’ll move at the pace of your own nervous system — not a timeline.
There is no “behind” in RISE.
Slowness is built into every part of the program — including 3-day pauses between portals.
You’ll have lifetime access, so you can always return to what you need, when you’re ready.
Yes — many participants are still navigating contact, especially in cases of shared parenting.
RISE will meet you in that complexity with tenderness, boundaries, and tools.
Your safety is always centered.



This is a trauma-informed space rooted in safety, not performance.
You are not expected to show up perfect — only to show up honestly, in your truth, as you are.
All parts of you are welcome.
What is shared in this space is confidential. Safety is priority.
This program is not a substitute for therapy or crisis support. You are encouraged to seek parallel care when needed.
There is no “behind.” You are invited to move at your own pace.
Paced slowness is part of the process. You are not expected to keep up — only to keep close to your truth.
You are the keeper of your healing. You will never be asked to follow — only to return.






I grew up beneath the shadow of a narcissistic father, learning early how to contort myself for safety, for peace, for love that never truly landed.
I married young and tried to build something different — only to find myself years later in the same storm, with a man whose betrayal left my world in pieces after two decades together.
And still… something in me never stopped reaching for light.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling.
I became certified in breathwork and narcissistic relationship recovery.
I studied, coached, created — but it wasn’t until I began working with my body through somatic practices that I began to feel my healing.
It was the first time I truly returned to my body.
Where the real wisdom — and the pain — had always lived.
Through somatic practice, nervous system attunement, and trauma-informed ritual, I rebuilt myself- not by escaping the past, but by holding it differently.
Gently. Sovereignly. With breath.
RISE is the program I wish had existed when I began again!
Not just another course. Not just content.
But a container that could hold the whole of me — my rage, my softness, my longing to reclaim so much that I had lost.
If you’re standing at a threshold — unsure, tender, ready but afraid —
I want you to know:
There is a way forward that doesn’t require abandoning yourself.
This path is that way.
And I would be honored to walk it with you.
Jess
Founder of Somatic Gateway

No — RISE is for anyone healing from relational trauma.
The program was built for survivors of narcissistic abuse, but its foundation is somatic healing — working directly with the body and nervous system. That means it supports recovery from any form of chronic emotional harm: controlling relationships, betrayal, neglect, gaslighting, or environments where love and safety were inconsistent.
You don’t need a label to heal.
You only need to know that your system has been living in survival — on high alert, disconnected, or numb — and that you’re ready to learn another way.
RISE helps you rebuild safety, trust, and self-connection from the inside out.
Because no matter what you’ve been through, your body knows how to come home.
