Group Facilitators
Beth Foley
Beth is a Midwest-born nature lover who found her way to sobriety through the path of yoga, an ever-evolving practice that continues to inspire and support her. Her work focuses on the power of somatic awareness and nervous system regulation to transform unwanted patterns, an invaluable skill for navigating recovery of all kinds. Beth has been sharing this work for several years, supporting many clients in releasing held trauma from their bodies and living a more aligned, fulfilling life.
Chelsea Rappel
Chelsea is first and foremost a grateful person in longterm sobriety, as well as a bunny mom and lover of rock climbing. As a Somatic Practitioner and Yoga Therapist, Chelsea is committed to supporting others on their journey to freedom from addiction in a way that is authentic and meaningful to the individual. Chelsea is also the founder of Awakened Recovery, a Body/Mind healing modality for embodied, soulful recovery, and is passionate about helping folks feel more alive and empowered in their skin.
We have found a huge gap in the recovery space – a supportive community that’s focused on the somatic aspect of recovery.
Because the body is where we feel all of the feelings we’ve been avoiding (with overworking, spending, drinking, eating, smoking, sex, and the list goes on), it’s imperative to include the body in our healing process.
We recognize all forms of addiction when we use the term “in recovery,” and intend for these groups to be fully inclusive. As long as you are interested in reconnecting with and deepening connection to your body, we would love to have you.
Every group will follow the same rhythm of peer support and process time, along with guided somatic practice and reflection. This is a trauma-informed, relaxed space to share and relate with each other, and ourselves, in new ways.
“Once you start approaching your body with curiosity rather than with fear, everything shifts.”
