This Somatic Day Retreat for Sensitive & Neurodivergent Adults Ready to Break Free From The Burden Of Feeling Broken
Inner London | 13th September | 9:30-18:30
This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a permission slip.
It’s a real-time recalibration of your nervous system - a space to soften the bracing, unhook from survival mode, and feel safe being fully who you are.
If you’re tired of holding it all in, masking, managing, and having to hide how you feel…
If you've spent years quietening your voice, putting others first, or pushing your feelings under the rug…
If you want to soften the survival responses, and disperse the blocks preventing you from moving forward....
Then this is the place to shed the shame, melt the mask, and experience the peace, rest, and relief your body's been craving.

Your nervous system is sensory driven -
Constantly Scanning the environment for signs of safety or threat...
This is why healing isn’t just about thinking differently. It’s about feeling safe on a physiological level.
When you've experienced bullying, emotional neglect, or grew up in an unpredictable home, your body learned to stay hyper-alert, quieten your voice, or hide your sensitivity in order to survive.
In a group space built for co-regulation, connection, and realness - not performance - you give your body a new imprint: one of being accepted, safe, and seen.
This is how you learn that it's truly safe to be yourself - to be unapologetically you.
As Brene Brown says :
"True belonging doesn't require us to change who we are; it requires us to BE who we are."
This is for you if you’re tired of holding it all together on the outside, but rarely feel relaxed on the inside.
If people-pleasing, fawning, or shutting down has become second nature - and criticism feels crushing, whether it’s from others or yourself.
If you feel shame around your sensitivity, or like you've lost touch with your body, voice, or needs… this day offers a powerful reset - so you can walk away feeling lighter, steadier, and more at ease as the unique person that you are.

This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a permission slip. A body-based, trauma-informed, real time shift that stays with you.
Come back into your body and find the respite you've been looking for
Release emotional tension, guilt, or self-criticism you've been holding for years
Feel part of a group without needing to perform, impress, or over-explain - at last!
Reclaim your wholeness without fixing or forcing, because the harder you fight yourself the further you get
Find a new level of grounded stability and restfulness in a way that works for the unique being that you are
Has the relentlessness of fighting, pushing, and talking down to yourself been walking beside you for too long?
The nervous system strain of complex trauma, neurodivergence, and deep sensitivity can leave you feeling like you're always falling short - like ease was made for other people.
Unapologetically You is a joyful and restorative return to safety - because when you've lived life in high alert, it’s the experience of feeling safe that restores your energy, fills your cup, and reconnects you with who you really are.
Because you’re not broken. You're bracing.
And when your body is met with real safety, tension softens, the freedom of your true nature comes to life, and for perhaps the first time,
you get to feel what it’s like to be effortlessly and unapologetically you.
This is the best workshop I have ever been to, and I've been to hundreds!

Hey, I’m Tana J...
And while I'm glad to not be lost in the spirals of panic and anxiety that ruled most of my life, I can't say i'd be here without the work of Somatic Healing & Nervous System Repair.
I grew up feeling sure that the world wasn’t built for me. A protective nervous system response from losing my older brother, Mateo, when I was 6, spending years bullied, and being raised by single grief stricken mum with no support. I believed I was broken and totally alone in this world - and panic and suicidal ideation was my norm.
Somatic Therapy was the one modality that honoured my Neurodivergent mind, and gave me a space to heal without needing to tell the story over and over again. It became about experiencing change, not simply conceptual understanding
With over a decade of experience in nervous system repair and holistic health - and training in Creative Therapeutic Practice, Counselling, Early Childhood Development, and Somatic Trauma-Informed Coaching - I offer an approach that’s both deeply informed and deeply human.
Now, I help sensitive, neurodivergent souls with ADHD and Complex Trauma learn to feel safe in their bodies, soften anxiety and self-doubt, and step into being unapologetically themselves.

What To Expect
This retreat offers a deeply supportive space to reconnect with yourself and others.
You’ll be guided through a blend of Creative Art Therapy, somatic and parts work practices designed to gently loosen patterns of anxiety, numbness, and shutdown.
There will be opportunities for partner and small group explorations to build trust and interpersonal safety, as well as time for reflective sharing and embodied connection.
Weather permitting, we’ll also take our practice outdoors - so you can experience the simple beauty of being under the trees, held by nature as you remember how to be held by yourself in new ways.
*to support your sensitive nervous system, breaks, self-reflection moments, and quiet time are sprinkled throughout.
"Tana provided me with such an amazing experience. It is so inspiring to see how well it actually helps and I would recommend this to everyone."

Follow Your
Fidgets
This is the last place you need to sit still and pay attention. Here you learn feel freed from expectation, follow your body and nurture your unique pathway to peace. You can even hide away into the Nurture Nook - a little hide away with massage balls, eye masks, and art supplies.
Melt The
Mask
Social interactions leave you drained because of hiding your sensitivity and Neurodivergence to fit in or keep the peace. This is where you get to establish a new and gentle strength, and find your energy returns through feeling safe to be you.
Transform
Your Trauma
When life wires you to survive, resting, trusting, or just being can feel impossible. Scary even. In this space, you're safe enough to stop bracing and start belonging - and let your nervous system familiarise itself to a body that finally feels like home.

East London | 13th September | 9:30-18:00
What if I don’t usually do well in group spaces?
Totally understandable - many of us carry painful memories from school, work, or social settings that felt unsafe. That’s why this isn’t just a group - it’s a carefully held, fidget-friendly, judgment-free zone designed for sensitivity and nervous system repair.
You’ll have space to pause, stay quiet, or engage in ways that honour your pace.
What if I get overstimulated or overwhelmed?
That’s expected - and it’s exactly what we work with. The day is designed with your sensory system in mind: plenty of breaks, moments of silence, grounding practices, and even movement-friendly options so your body doesn’t have to push through or pretend. Regulation comes from restoration, not performance.
Do I have to share my story?
Not at all. You’ll never be put on the spot. Every invitation is just that - an invitation. If you want to share, there’s space. If you don’t, your presence alone is more than enough. Healing happens through resonance - witnessing and being witnessed, even quietly.
What if I cry / freeze / feel too much?
This space was made for that. Emotional responses are part of the body’s way of processing - and you’ll be guided through gentle ways to stay connected and supported. No shame. No fixing. Just space for truth, held in safety and care.
Will I be the only man / neurodivergent person / shy one?
Not likely. This space draws in people from all walks - including highly sensitive, neurodivergent, introverted, and beautifully unique humans who are tired of shape-shifting just to belong. This is a space for us.
I’m not sure if I’ve been through ‘trauma’ - is this still for me?
Yes. If you’ve ever felt like your emotions were ‘too much,’ struggled with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, or being constantly ‘on,’ you’re in the right place. This day isn’t about labels - it’s about giving your nervous system what it’s been longing for: safety, compassion, and repair.
I'm male. Will I be the only man there?
While women currently make up around 70% of these spaces, you are welcomed and encouraged to attend as a man. Sensitivity, emotional depth, and neurodivergence need a safe place to land - and men deserve that just as much. If you've ever been told to “just get over it” or “man up,” this space will feel like a breath of fresh air. You’ll leave feeling more connected to your emotions, and with less pressure to perform, fix, or hold it all together.
How is this different from other retreats or workshops?
Many healing spaces still unconsciously cater to neurotypical, high-performing systems - often asking you to sit still, share openly, or engage in ways that aren’t supportive to neurodivergent or sensitive bodies. This day is designed with nervous system repair and sensory needs in mind. It’s fidget-friendly, expression-friendly, and doesn’t demand that you be anything other than exactly how you are. You won’t be asked to push through - instead, you’ll be invited to soften into a pace and rhythm that supports your full being.
