If you spent years in systems that shamed it, you deserve just as long to reclaim it.""Before we seek safety with others, we must create safety with ourselves—become the first and best lover to your own body."❥Stay or Go Course: ⁠https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go⁠ ❥HeartSpace: An online monthly membership community for open-hearted, nervous system-attuned living.Join with a free trial: ⁠⁠https://marinayt.com/community⁠⁠❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here:⁠ ⁠https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted⁠⁠❥❥❥Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ #SexualHealing #ShameFreeSex #PurityCultureRecovery #SomaticHealing #EmbodiedIntimacy #LaurenEliseRogers #PleasureIsPower #BodyWisdom #ReligiousDeconstruction #SexEducation #HolisticSexuality #HealingThroughPleasure #TraumaInformedCoaching
