Christy Miu
Bodyworker | Nervous System Educator | Trauma Informed Coach | Founder
Christy is a space holder, guide, and gentle mirror—rooted in the belief that healing unfolds when we are met with softness, safety, and truth. Her work through Lavender + Sage is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and return to the wisdom that has always lived within you. Her path has been shaped by years of study in trauma-informed healing, somatic practices, and ancestral wisdom traditions. Christy has trained extensively with HeatherAsh Amara, author of Warrior Goddess Training, immersing herself in Toltec teachings that honor integrity, compassion, and embodied leadership. Through Unconditional Leadership, Warrior Goddess Coach Certification, Facilitator Training, and the Warrior Goddess Leadership Coven, she learned to lead not from force, but from presence. Christy’s journey also includes deep study of True Self-Care, a radical remembering that rest, nourishment, and boundaries are sacred acts. Through Seasons of Self: Ritual and Ceremony and Seasons of Self Wise, she explored shamanic journeywork, ceremony, and cyclical living—learning to honor transitions, grief, growth, and renewal with reverence. Alongside these spiritual teachings, Christy has studied somatic healing, bodywork for anxiety and depression, and breathwork for trauma release, allowing her to support the nervous system with gentleness and care. Her work bridges modern trauma awareness with ritual, intuition, and embodied presence. At Lavender + Sage, Christy offers more than healing practices—she offers a sanctuary. A place to soften, to release what no longer serves, and to remember your wholeness. This work is slow medicine, rooted in compassion, ritual, and the quiet power of coming home to yourself.
From Collapse & Isolation to Repair & Reconnect
Shame is not a flaw in your character—it is a deeply intelligent survival response. It lives in the body, shapes the nervous system, and quietly influences how you relate to yourself and others. When left unaddressed, it can lead to patterns of withdrawal, collapse, overthinking, and disconnection. This 90-minute live webinar offers a grounded, compassionate space to begin understanding and working with shame in a way that feels supportive and sustainable. Rather than trying to “think your way out” of shame, you’ll be introduced to a somatic lens—learning how to gently work with the body, where shame is actually held and experienced. Together, we will explore how shame shows up beneath the surface, how it protects, and how it can begin to soften when met with awareness instead of resistance. In this experience, you’ll explore: Understanding shame as a survival-based response, not a personal failure How the body holds and expresses shame through the nervous system Why cognitive approaches alone often fall short in shifting shame How to begin working with shame through a somatic, body-based lens Guided Practices Included: Meeting Shame Gently: A guided somatic exercise to help you safely notice, feel, and stay present with sensations of shame without overwhelm Shame Repair Meditation: A restorative practice designed to support reconnection, self-compassion, and internal safety This is not about fixing or forcing change. It is about creating a safe, intentional space to meet yourself differently—to move from collapse toward connection, and from isolation toward repair. Whether you’re new to somatic work or already on a healing path, this experience will offer practical tools, deeper awareness, and a supportive foundation for working with shame in a more embodied way. Come as you are. There is nothing here you need to prove—only space to reconnect.
