Balanced Awakening Collective
A steady place to ground yourself — and a space to grow when you’re ready.
Therapist-created courses and practices for nervous system support, conscious relationships, and gentle transformation — at your own pace.
Where Are You Right Now?
Some seasons of life feel overwhelming.
You may be anxious, stuck in a relational pattern, emotionally flooded, or simply tired of carrying everything alone.
Other seasons feel steadier — and you’re ready to understand your patterns more deeply, grow with intention, and build something more grounded inside yourself.
Inside the Collective, you can begin exactly where you are.

Why We Created the Collective
Growth rarely happens in one breakthrough moment.
It unfolds in small shifts, subtle awareness, and gentle practice over time.
We created the Balanced Awakening Collective to offer grounded, therapist-created support you can return to whenever you need it — without pressure, without urgency, and without needing everything to be figured out.
Inside this space, you’re invited to move at your own rhythm — grounding first, growing when you’re ready.
This is simple and stable.

The Somatic Starter Kit
A Gentle, Grounding Collection of Body-Based Practices for Nervous System Support
When you feel overwhelmed, anxious, shut down, or disconnected, it can be hard to know what to do in the moment.
The Somatic Starter Kit offers a compassionate, body-based starting point — simple practices designed to support regulation, safety, and steadiness without analysis or pressure.
Guided by Dr. Hannah Yang, this collection blends brief psychoeducation with calming audio practices you can return to whenever you need grounding.
Designed to feel supportive rather than overwhelming, this kit meets you exactly where you are.
Inside the Kit
Four guided audio practices:
A brief grounding reset for moments of overwhelm
A somatic tracking practice to build awareness gently
A self-holding practice to support safety and internal comfort
A short pendulation practice to help the nervous system find balance
One printable Somatic First Aid Map:
Simple cues for overwhelm, anxiety, or shutdown
Body-based tools matched to different nervous system states
Gentle reminders that support pacing and self-trust
Throughout the kit, you’ll find trauma-aware, choice-based guidance and tools designed for real-life moments — not perfect conditions.
This Is For You If You…
Feel overwhelmed, anxious, or shut down without clear tools
Want simple, body-based practices rather than heavy theory
Are curious about somatic work but unsure where to begin
Crave support that feels safe, steady, and accessible
Whether you’re new to somatic practices or returning to the basics, this kit offers practical tools for building steadiness from the inside out.

The Push–Pull Relief Bundle
A Grounded Mini-Course for Understanding the Pursue–Withdraw Cycle
Moments of closeness followed by sudden distance can feel confusing and exhausting — wanting connection one moment, pulling away the next.
This gentle mini-course helps you understand the Push pattern, the Pull pattern, and the cycle they create through attachment insight, relational wisdom, and nervous system awareness.
Guided by Dr. Hannah Yang, this bundle brings clarity and compassion to a dynamic that often feels personal or shameful — but is deeply human.
Designed to feel calming rather than overwhelming, it supports you in recognizing triggers, settling activation, and relating from a steadier internal place.
Inside the Bundle
A grounding audio practice for moments of activation
Worksheets to understand your Push pattern, Pull pattern, and the full cycle
Somatic tools for settling relational triggers
Reflective prompts for clarity and self-compassion
Simple practices for staying centered during distance
This Is For You If You…
Feel anxious when someone pulls away
Shut down when intensity rises
Get caught in on-again/off-again cycles
Want more emotional steadiness in relationships
Need tools that help during activation — not just after
Whether you identify with the Push side, the Pull side, or move between both, this mini-course offers clarity and grounded support for building more stable connection.
