the story behind Create Yourself Co.
In The Space Between Co-Regulation and Felt Sense of Safety
Our neurodiversity-affirming and non-pathologizing approach to therapy means that we are not curing the diagnosis or working towards being more neurotypical. It is truly the opposite of what the medical model or conventional therapy looks like. We are revolutionizing therapy by helping you radically accept the essence of your being with self-compassion and discovering the accommodations your sensational being needs to be able to thrive in a neurotypical world.
The integration of the Safe & Sound Protocol Listening Therapy, a top-down approach, paired with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model, a bottom-up approach, in co-regulation is a powerful way to embody the Felt Sense of Safety internally, externally, and relationally.
Revolutionizing Human Behavior
Create Yourself Co. is dedicated to revolutionizing how we view human behavior and our neurodivergent lived experiences, hoping that future generations will embody a felt sense of liberation through radical acceptance of their authentic essence.
Dr. Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory has revolutionized the way we view the body’s response to stress, considering the autonomic nervous system (ANS) the foundation of our human experience.
Jan Winhall’s Felt Sense Polyvagal Model has revolutionized the paradigm shift relative to viewing maladaptive behaviors as adaptive responses to maladaptive environments, from a pathological lens to a Polyvagal lens. .
Dora Henderson has revolutionized play through the lens of Polyvagal Theory with her creations of Polly or Pauly Vagale and Neuro & The Caption Force Friends, providing fun, tangible items for abstract concepts such as our brain-body connection.
Dr. Patricia Snyder has revolutionized coaching through her Practice Based Coaching Model by adding a Reflection component to implementing strategies that fosters social emotional development, in addition to Dr. Lori Desautel’s work with co-regulatory practices.
my motto
Create Yourself Co. embodies radical acceptance, authenticity, liberation, and shifting the paradigm for the neurodiversity-affirming movement.
A bit more about me

Fact 01
I’ve worked in the medical model for 8 years and the education system for 4 years– my heart was never aligned with their approaches; now I know it was very much aligned with what is now called The Neurodiversity-Affirming Movement. I will never go back to working in those ableist systems.

Fact 02
I received my Bachelor’s in Music at Florida Atlantic University; I have been a creative, dancer, and singer my entire life. Now as a somatic therapist, I enjoy offering creative stimulation while embodying our Felt Sense of Safety in our ‘flow’ autonomic state.
