YOUR TRUSTED LIBERATION GUIDE
Hello, I am Dr. Norissa!
I work with women who are self-aware, wise, and accomplished—yet still carrying pain that hasn’t fully released.
​
You may have done years of therapy, personal growth, or spiritual work.
​You understand your patterns. You can name your wounds. And still, something feels unfinished—like the healing hasn’t quite landed in your body.
​
Perhaps you’re tired of always being the strong one. Perhaps you’re ready to soften but don’t yet feel safe doing so.
Perhaps you’re standing at a threshold—between who you’ve been and who you know you’re becoming.
​
If you’re here, it’s likely not because you need fixing.
It’s because your body, your spirit, or your lineage is asking for a deeper kind of healing—one rooted in embodiment, nervous system safety, and liberation.
YOU WERE NEVER BROKEN!
The women I serve are not starting from scratch—they are integrating.
They are ready to move from insight into embodiment, from survival into wholeness, from self-sacrifice into self-honoring power.
​
My work blends trauma-informed psychology, embodied somatic practices, ancestral wisdom, and psychospiritual healing to support women in:
​
-
Healing wounds that live in the body—not just the mind
-
Releasing over functioning, hyper-independence, and inherited roles
-
Reclaiming safety, softness, and self-trust
-
Becoming the woman their younger self needed
-
Leading, loving, and living from an integrated, liberated self
​
I don’t position myself as the expert over your life. I serve as a guide—walking alongside you as you reconnect with your inner authority, your body’s wisdom, and the deeper truths carried within your lineage.
​
This is healing that honors your history, your nervous system, and your soul.
​
You don’t have to do this alone anymore. And you don’t have to carry what was never meant to be yours.​
MY LIFE’S STORY
​
My life’s work was shaped by lived experience long before it became professional practice.
Like many of the women I serve, I learned early how to be capable, composed, and strong—often at the expense of my own needs. I excelled, achieved, and held space for others, while quietly carrying stories, responsibilities, and patterns that were never meant to be mine alone.
Over time, I came to understand that insight and achievement were not enough; true healing required listening to the body, honoring the nervous system, and reckoning with what is passed down through lineage and culture.
My journey became one of integration—unlearning survival, reclaiming softness and power, and choosing liberation as a daily practice.That path is what I now offer others: not a destination, but a way home to themselves.
MY CORE VALUES
Liberation over optimization
I believe healing is not about becoming a better version of yourself for systems that benefit from your exhaustion. It is about unlearning survival patterns, reclaiming agency, and living from your truth.
​
Embodiment as the pathway
Insight matters—but transformation happens in the body. My work centers nervous system safety, somatic awareness, and practices that allow healing to be felt, not just understood.
Trauma-informed and relational
Healing must honor your history. I value gentleness, consent, pacing, and attunement, creating spaces where your system can soften without force or urgency.
​
Ancestral and collective awareness
Our lives do not begin with us alone. I honor lineage, culture, and collective history, understanding that some pain is inherited—and so is wisdom, resilience, and medicine.

It's Time to Receive!
If you're ready to soften, to open, and to allow more love, abundance, and ease to flow into your life, this challenge is for you!
If you've been the one always giving; rarely receiving, let me tell you...this dynamic didn't just pop out of thin air, it's something we learned. It has roots in survival. It is safe to unlearn it now...
​
In this FREE 5 day journey, I introduce you to my framework, The Five Dimensions of Receptivity,™ — Safety, Release, Softening, Reciprocity, and Overflow. Together we attune our nervous system to receive with ease.
​
I love this for you!

How it works
THE 4 EASY STEPS
1.
DISCOVERY SESSION
Begin with an Empowered Life & Legacy Activation Call—a grounded, exploratory session where we explore your current chapter, what’s calling for healing and integration, and the vision you’re ready to live into. Together, we clarify next steps that honor your nervous system, your truth, and the legacy you’re shaping.
2.
TAILORED COACHING
Together, we’ll identify the most supportive path for your healing and growth—whether you’re focused on personal healing, life transitions, or stepping into your next chapter—with care rooted in embodiment, safety, and alignment.
3.
WEEKLY COACHING
Whether you choose individual or group sessions, our work unfolds through consistent, supportive spaces where we explore what’s ready for healing, integration, and alignment. Each session offers guided practices, reflection, and practical steps that support embodied, sustainable change.
4.
ONGOING SUPPORT
Healing is not linear, and support shouldn’t be episodic. I offer ongoing guidance that meets you as layers unfold—providing continuity, attunement, and integration over time. Through consistent sessions, reflective practices, and community spaces when applicable, you’re supported in embodying what emerges between sessions, not just processing it intellectually.
