Helping you feel more calmer and stronger inside and out
You’ve done the healing work and maybe you’re still feeling…
Disconnected from your body
In survival mode and can’t catch a break
Can’t seem to manage all the feelings, especially the ones that come out of no where
Overwhelmed by all the things you need to do
Worried and overthinking, which makes it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep at night
Chronically tense and bracing
Fatigued by the end of the day
Feeling on edge and reactive to any little thing, and the aftermath of feeling bad for doing so
If this resonates, you are in the right place, and you don’t have to heal alone.
The good news is…
Healing doesn’t have to be complicated
In my own journey, I learned a simpler way to heal for the long-run, and I'‘ve shared it with others. I’ve helped many folks like you break the patterns that keep them stuck by applying body-led practices to heal their nervous systems and feel like themselves again.

Hi, I’m Albania.
Life can knock you off course in ways you never saw coming—leaving you exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from yourself. Many of my clients come to me after trying talk therapy, self-help books, and affirmations, only to find they understand their struggles but still don’t feel better in their bodies.
I know this path personally. After navigating my own season of grief and burnout triggered by unexpected life events, I discovered that insight alone wasn’t enough. Real healing began when I turned toward holistic, body-based practices and spirituality—approaches that helped me regulate my nervous system, reconnect with my body, and restore a sense of wholeness.
Today, I guide others through the same process. Through integrative, body-centered practices, I help you move out of survival mode and into greater clarity, resilience, and embodied well-being—so you can feel grounded, supported, and at home in yourself again.
Specializing In…
-
Trauma Healing
Painful experiences from childhood to adult experiences, can loop in the mind and replay in the body. Go beyond the patterns that keep you in stuck in overwhelm, shutdown, putting others and things first, hyper-independence, and reclaim your peace. Learn simple tools to heal and feel more empowered to live authentically.
-
Stress & Burnout Recovery
You haven’t been feeling like yourself lately, feeling more exhausted and overwhelmed than ever. You’ve tried self-care but it doesn’t seem to stick. Learn to release the survival mode, to feel alive and thrive again.
Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing (SE), is a gentle, body-led, holistic model to heal stuck self protection patters in the body in order to feel more nervous system regulation, vitality and empowerment. This is good for both trauma healing and stress recovery. Somatic Experiencing sessions involve slow and gentle healing, with more noticing, and less talking about your past. It’s a more effective and long lasting way to heal and become your own healer. As a holistic approach, I include IFS, SSP, and HeartMath.
