Hello, IG Family 💗 I’ve realized recently that while we’re connected here in Social Media Land, I’ve never properly introduced myself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My name is Aurianna, though my given/legal name is Casie. I started going by Aurianna nearly 6 years ago after a deeply transformative plant medicine journey in the jungles of Peru, and I’ve spent those 6 years exploring, discovering, and emerging into what the name Aurianna means for me before I claim it fully through a legal name change. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Joy is my given middle name, a name I share with both my mother and maternal grandmother. I’ve chosen to keep this name, as it represents both my greatest wounding and my North Star for healing. It encapsulates both the dark & the light parts of my human experience. I use it as my last name as a bow to the Sacred Feminine (and as a little bit of a 🖕🏼 to the patriarchy). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I spent the majority of my teens and early twenties in various altered states of consciousness— navigating the chronic pain and brain fog of Lyme Disease, spending 100’s of hours in both sitting and moving meditation, and living in the Amazon jungle for 10 months studying plant spirit shamanism along with 150+ plant medicine ceremonies over the past 6.5 years. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I started my coaching journey nearly 8 years ago when I left my incomplete biology degree behind and decided to pave my own way in the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In those 8 years, I’ve found myself following the Wise Woman’s path— studying holistic nutrition, conscious conception & birth arts, sacred sexuality, ritual & ceremony, movement meditation, herbalism, womb wisdom, karmic astrology, & more.. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Technically, I’ve trained as a Holistic Health Coach, a yoga teacher, a shamanic apprentice, a birth doula, an energy healer, and most recently a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My ‘work’ over the years has taken many forms— private mentorship and group coaching, plant medicine facilitation, leading women’s circles & retreats.. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Over the last year, I’ve undergone a deep transformation that has led me to my latest revelation in my contribution to the collective: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Continued in comments
Spending today writing the module on Movement for SENSUOUS & came across this gem of a quote from @nutritiousmovement in her book 'Movement Matters': ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Movement matters. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not just movement - your movement. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not only to your physiology but to those in your family and community. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your movement matters, not only to those you see on a daily and yearly basis, but to humans elsewhere, that you've never met. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your movement matters to the forest and the bees in your local area, and our culturally approved (and possibly demanded) sedentarism is responsible for much of the deforestation of the planet as well as slavery in other places. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You have a role in the ecosystem, and it's not a static position at the top of the food chain as you were taught. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your role is a dynamic one, critical to all other living things on this planet.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ YES! This is why I love teaching women how to express themselves through authentically embodied movement. 🔥 We move not just for us as individuals, but for the planet itself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How you move effects people you will never meet and places you will never visit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How you move (or not) creates a ripple of impact on the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your movement matters more than you think.
Loving being witchy in the kitchen creating Sensuous Flower Essence Blends for the ladies in the Sensuous group experience 🌸 Working with clients primarily online for the past 6 years has left me wanting to connect with the women I support in deeper ways. Tuning into the women in this group & customizing a blend unique to the journey they’ve embarked on together is one of the ways I’ve found to incorporate more of my medicine & magic into their coaching program 💗
Beautiful reflections from a beautiful client on the power of Somatic Integration Coaching: "Shortly after enrolling the first group of 13 people for The School of Ambrosial Animals, I had a flashback of a major childhood trauma. Many of you know that when I was four, I was in a fire. I have a large scar on my back from 4th degree burns. I spent a month in the hospital, with several skin graph surgeries. Living with developmental trauma wasn't something I had considered - until Aurianna and Will began helping me truly resolve the stored fight / flight reactions stored in my nervous system. So when I had my first flashback of flames several months ago, these two caught me. My body was spinning out, but they were a lifeline I could count on. There is no way I would have been able to show up to my clients, my self care, and my other projects without their support. Somatic Experiencing is the deepest work I've done to date, and these two just keep holding the depth! ❤️❤️❤️ Despite how challenging this body-based healing has been for me, it is worth it. It is worth it because... the energy I have freed up has led to the largest creative work of my life: a nearly written book, birthing Ambrosial Animals, joining a tech startup - who knew all this energy was available! It is worth it because... I can only bring my own clients where I have journeyed. This is why I do my own work, and am willing to go into the shadows. It is worth it because... when we heal individually, we heal collectively. My heart's deepest desire is for collective evolution. Here we go!"
