A FREE 90-MINUTE SOMATIC WEBINAR — LIVE ON ZOOM
Why survival mode
is exhausting you
You sleep and wake up tired. Daily stressors build up in your body and don’t digest. This is the nervous system “stuck in survival mode” that robs us of our aliveness and slowly leads to burnout.
🗓️ Saturday, August 29 · ⏳ 90 minutes, live on Zoom · 🎁 Free, registration required
🕗 8am Toronto (EDT) · 1pm London (BST) · 8pm Bali (WITA)
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU
You've tried to slow down and remove stressors so why are you still this overwhelmed and tired?
You go to bed early, and try to prioritize your needs however possible, yet your body still feels tense and tired or collapsed and disconnected. Life is either too much or heavy and flat.
When our nervous system is chronically stuck on “on” or “off,” it needs to learn that it is safe to stop, slow down, relax, connect and let go in ways that it might never have learned how to do.
So if:
You wake up tired, before the day has started.
Your chest hums with a low buzz that does not settle, even when you finally sit down.
Your jaw is tight, your shoulders are up near your ears, and your gut is in a knot by mid-morning.
Brain fog is your normal and you struggle to feel like yourself or find clarity within it.
You keep going anyway, because stopping has never felt safe or like an option.
THE IDEA AT THE HEART OF THIS WEBINAR
Survival mode wears two faces, and they need opposite medicine
Most burnout advice treats exhaustion as one thing, a tank running low but your body knows the difference. Finding out which is yours changes how you meet it.
STUCK ON "ON" 🥵
Wired and tired
You are exhausted, and struggle to feel your life. Your mind wakes you up racing, body humming, between 1-3am. Rest feels challenging because it feels like lying down inside an engine that will not switch off. This is a system stuck in high activation.
STUCK ON "OFF" 🥶
Heavy and flat
The spark is gone, and most things take effort. You feel foggy, numb, and disconnected from aliveness in your body and the sweetness of life. Sleep doesn’t change how you feel because it is not just low fuel, but a nervous system that is freezing to protect you.
Wired needs settling, and flat needs gentle waking. They both need holding.
In this session you will gain an embodied sense of which one your nervous system leans toward, and what it’s asking for, so you can begin to move towards it, and the aliveness that is your birthright.
Less lecture, more coming home to the body
WHAT OUR 90 MINUTES TOGETHER LOOK LIKE
This is a guided, somatic experience to begin to discover your nervous system’s underlying patterns, with room to stay inside your own window of tolerance. Camera on or off, engaging or not, whatever you feel on that day!
We arrive together
I'll share who I am, and we’ll do a brief nervous system practice to support you to land.
i
The two faces of burnout
We name the sensations, emotions, etc. of wired and of flat, so you can recognize which is living in you now.
ii
iii
A short practice to feel your own state
An interoceptive and regulation exercise that supports you to feel where you are or aren’t in relation to your body and nervous system state.
How we got here
The story of a nervous system that learned to keep going because stopping never felt safe.
iv
A felt sense of your journey home
A felt taste of what your system is reaching for, so you leave knowing the direction home.
v
A warm close, and what's next
We arrive a little more in our bodies together, with space for questions and a look at where this work goes deeper.

"Working with Jaya was surprisingly deep from the very first session and it felt like a key in a lock, that was waiting for a long time to be opened. This work was the missing piece in my healing journey. I started by combining Naturopathy and Energy Medicine and once I found Somatic Experiencing, it really tied it all together and allowed the physical and energy healing to integrate and merge all of the pieces."

"Thank you Jaya. You actually healed me more than anyone I've ever seen therapy over the last 30 years. Something about you seeing my grandmother and how her trauma has affected my own health. Working with it has started to heal me, and the intergenerational trauma that I've carried for decades. Now I feel the strength of all my Mother's within ~ it's so surprising to me how much stronger I finally feel."

YOUR GUIDE
Hi I’m Jaya
"I'm a Master Somatic Therapist and Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, an energy therapist of 18+ years, on a path rooted in mysticism for just as long. Across more than 10,000 sessions, I've helped people feel their nervous system patterns and begin to integrate them. I know these patterns from the inside too, especially after giving birth to a son with ongoing, complex health needs. I found my way back to my own body over the years, and have supported him to do the same. A mother's love! 💙
My work names what is happening in the body, our stress physiology and long-held patterns, and supports their integration that invite more freedom and aliveness. We meet ancestral and cultural wounds too, alongside the sacred without using it to skip the hard parts. We go slowly, in titrated ways, because finding the safety to face what once overwhelmed us is what truly, and sustainably changes a nervous system.

"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 10 years ago, and have explored many ways to manage and cope with pain and fatigue with not much lasting improvement. After each Somatic energy therapy session with Jaya, I have felt a noticeable reduction in overall pain, a much needed boost to my energy level, as well as a deeper connection to my own inner healing wisdom. Since we have moved our sessions online, I have been surprised and delighted by the similar effects of our ‘distance sessions’! A gifted healer, Jaya’s innate abilities and extensive training truly facilitate total body/mind/emotion healing and realignment. Where I felt ‘stuck’ in my healing journey before, I now feel free to again move forward in giant leaps!"

"Jaya, what a powerful energy you hold. I am so grateful for what you did for me, I felt such a release. My back pain that has been with me for decades is gone. Thank you for showing me the link between mind and body. The Somatic training on the retreat taught me so much about mind body awareness. The examples and practical training was perfect. The way you treated and released the trauma I experienced at birth has shifted me to another level. Your ability to hold space and intuit what needs to be addressed is very strong. You are confident, well informed, yet also calm and humble. Thank you so much!"

WHERE THIS WORK GOES DEEPER
This webinar is the first thread. Bali and the online trainings are where you learn to weave.
A nervous system doesn't soften through a single practice done once. It changes through the patient, responsive weaving of many, over time, with support, until your nervous system gains the capacity for self-regulation. That slow weaving is the work we do together at the December Somatic Retreat in Bali and in online trainings: supporting you to grow capacity to feel safe, settle, and come back to life.
Join us at a cliffside sanctuary in Ubud, practicing yoga in a yoga shala perched above the sacred Petanu River (see image left!), two pools, jungle and sky, nourishing food, sacred community; where your nervous system finally learns that it is safe to rest. Learn more about it here. 🌸
If you are home bound for sometime, join us for a live online 6-week somatic training starting October 5, 2026, ready waiting for you to come back to life. Click here for details!
