Who This Is For

This space is ideal for you if:

  • You want grounded tools for nervous system regulation

  • You’re curious about conscious relationships or somatic healing

  • You prefer learning at your own pace

  • You want more compassion, clarity, and steadiness in your daily life

  • You’re looking for gentle, ongoing support outside of therapy

Why We Created the Collective

Healing doesn’t happen in one moment.
It happens in small shifts, subtle awarenesses, and gentle practices over time.

We created this space so you can access grounded support any time you need it — without overwhelm, without urgency, and without needing everything to be perfect.

Inside the Collective, you’ll find courses designed to help you return to yourself, reconnect with your body, and deepen your relationships.

Foundations of a Conscious Relationship

A 6-Module Journey Into Understanding Yourself, Your Patterns, and the People You Love

Our relationships are where our earliest wounds — and deepest longings — tend to show up. This foundational course helps you understand why you love the way you do, why certain patterns keep repeating, and how to move toward connection with more clarity, steadiness, and compassion.

Developed through the lens of Imago Relationship Therapy, attachment science, and somatic awareness, this course offers a grounded and deeply human look at what shapes our relational dynamics — and how to shift them gently.

Inside the Course

  • 6 video modules that blend insight, embodiment, and emotional attunement

  • Why early relational blueprints shape adult patterns

  • What emotional safety actually is — and how to cultivate it

  • How to move from reactivity to intentionality

  • Practical tools for understanding conflict with more compassion

  • Everyday habits that create secure, conscious partnership

  • Micro-practices inside each module

  • Downloadable workbook for deeper reflection

Who This Course Is For

Anyone longing for more clarity, compassion, and connection in their relationships — whether partnered or single. This course meets you gently where you are and helps you move toward the kind of love that feels grounded and spacious.

The Push–Pull Relief Bundle

A Soothing, Insightful Mini-Course for Understanding the Pursue–Withdraw Cycle

Many people experience moments of emotional closeness followed by sudden distance — wanting connection and then pulling away, or feeling pulled toward someone who suddenly becomes unavailable. This dynamic can feel confusing, activating, and exhausting.

This gentle mini-course helps you understand the Push pattern, the Pull pattern, and the cycle they create through a blend of attachment insights, Imago-informed relational wisdom, and nervous system awareness.

Guided by Hannah Yang, Psy.D., this bundle brings clarity, compassion, and embodied grounding to a pattern that often feels personal or shameful — but is, in truth, deeply human.

Designed to feel calming rather than overwhelming, this series supports you in recognizing your triggers, settling activation, and relating from a steadier internal place.

Inside the Course

  • A grounding guided audio for the moment activation hits

  • Three supportive worksheets:

    • Understanding your Push pattern

    • Understanding your Pull pattern

    • Mapping the full Push–Pull cycle

  • Somatic tools for settling activation

  • Reflective prompts for clarity and self-compassion

  • Simple practices for staying centered during distance

  • A nervous-system-friendly approach to relational triggers

Who This Course Is For

Anyone who feels caught in the push–pull dynamic — pursuing connection one moment and withdrawing the next, or loving someone who does.

This bundle is especially supportive if you:

  • feel anxious when someone pulls away

  • shut down when intensity rises

  • get stuck in on-again/off-again cycles

  • want more emotional steadiness in relationships

  • crave tools that actually help during activation, not afterward

Whether you identify with the Push side, the Pull side, or move between both, this mini-course offers relief, clarity, and a path toward grounded connection.
