Welcome to Nettle,

A space for somatic healing, chronic illness recovery & nervous system regulation

Somatic: Meaning "of the body", somatic healing reconnects us with the ways our physical body is holding energies, emotions, and memories, and allows us to tap into our capacity to heal by listening to the body.

Nettle: A powerful tonic, the stinging nettle brings strength to the physical and emotional body, teaching us how to transmute life experiences into personal change and growth.

The Stinging Nettle

A gentle, yet powerful plant. Nettle nourishes and tonifies the entire body. In TCM, Nettle is seen as a Yin tonic - facilitating one's capacity for receiving nurturance and nurturing oneself.
