The Medicine of Somatic Healing: Safe Spaces & Returning to Yourself with Lisa Messina

In this deeply grounding episode of Naturally High, Jeanne welcomes her dear friend, mentor, and somatic practitioner Lisa Messina for an intimate conversation on healing, nervous system regulation, personalized retreat work, and what it truly means to feel safe inside your own body.Jeanne shares the raw and real story behind her recent retreat with Lisa, a journey that unexpectedly prepared her to navigate two major life events within 48 hours of returning home. Through this conversation, they explore why somatic work is essential in a world where we are constantly overstimulated, overwhelmed, and increasingly disconnected from the wisdom of the body.Lisa and Jeanne open the door to understanding how trauma lives in the nervous system, why safety is the foundation of all therapeutic change, and how simple but profound somatic practices can shift us from survival into grounded presence. They also demystify what actually happens inside a somatic process, including resourcing, titration, emotional expression, and integration.Whether you’re curious about somatic healing, longing for a deeper sense of inner safety, or considering a retreat experience, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and return home to yourself.About Lisa MessinaLisa Messina (she/her), is the founder of The Messina Movement and creator of the small-group program, The Process.
