Who am I?

Welcome! My name is Andrea you can call me Andy :D (they/them). I’m a Trauma Informed Somatic Experiencing coach, a poet and writer dedicated to storytelling! In this community we’ll explore life, love, death and poetry!

My posts include

You’ll get weekly posts that range from lyrical prose, nature poetry, political activism, exploration of gender and sexuality, somatic experiencing, and creative fiction.

You will also find recordings from open mic performances, meditations and workshops. I will be sharing insights into my creative process and how I stay grounded and honest in a fast transitioning digital landscape.

How to find your way around

I’ve organized this space so you can easily find the specific content you are interested in!

  • Poetry, Fiction, and Non-Fiction - These are the three pillars of my written work. You can find the archives for each under their respective tabs.

  • Meditation and Podcast - This is the audio and video home for this community. Visit these tabs for recorded somatic practices, grounding exercises, and workshops!

  • Notes and Chat - This is where I share informal thoughts and where we gather for our Sunday Share threads and community conversations!

  • Home The most recent posts from every section all in one place!

If you want to make it even easier bookmark the post below for an easy to read full archive!
