After a lifetime of adapting and masking for others as your sense of self, you can finally be oriented in yourself and express you as you.
The space to go as slow as possible and as fast as you do, at the same time.
The depth of support to become what has always been so far in you and never been able to materialize enough to make it all the way to your skin.

When you start with what you sense and then believe and act on your desires in response to what you’re sensing, you make your way to getting physiological results that are based on what is rather than what should be. We start with the transcendent, we don’t end there. This flow of life is continuous, not fixed.
sub·tle self
noun
a body’s essential being that distinguishes them from others, especially considered as the object of introspection or reflexive action, so delicately complex or precise as to be difficult to analyze or describe and often related to non-physical or non-visible aspects of an individual’s being
“There is a portion of the human population that have predominantly a subtle self, compared with those who have a more visibly dense or sharper sense of self, and these humans are often missed due to their subtlety in comparison. However, simply because some may be more predominantly subtle, all humans have a subtle self and may react to it differently depending on their experiences and where they orient from as an individual identity or being.”
verb
making use of clever and indirect methods to achieve an interaction within the body that creates a new state or resulting being
“One would never know that as they were sitting there quietly in the room they were subtle selfed into ten different states, even they did not know it—aside from the persistent experience of constant movement that they were not consciously tracking.”
“I developed this work because I needed it. I have seen it change the shape of my life dramatically from the inside out, and so many others’ lives in over 20 years of work with those with sensitive needs and a subtle sense of self. We often struggle to feel that we really exist and know how to live as we are. There can be incredible amounts of daily pain and chronic illness. Our subjectivity is often missed because it is so subtle. And our objectivity can be both so repellant and so appealing that we are invisible, avoided, and also consumed and abused in that consumption without consideration of our own internal experiences. Life can be so disorienting and dysphoric when you have no way to map your self. There are ways to understand, map, and meet your needs and there are reasons these needs can be so tricky to work with. We can do it, together. I have and so many others have too. I hope you join us in being really real, here and now. We want to know you.”

True Stories
Read about others you might relate to and how they met their needs, sometimes reading about other people’s sensitive needs shows us more about our own. Options related to a variety of diagnoses, treatments, supplements, and modalities are illustrated in a way that helps you consider what you might like to try. Sensitive and sick is a common story, but not because sensitivity is sickness. Your needs are real, and so are the consequences of our stories.
