Clients tell me all the time...
“Is doing life this hard for everybody else? I’m too much for others, and the world’s too much for me. My sensitivity is too much.”
“I need to be tougher, harder, less empathic. If I could just turn my sensitivity off, life would be so much easier.”
“I feel like I’m a sponge. I don’t know what’s mine and what’s others, and it’s just too much.”
In that place, at that hard edge. I see how the gift of your sensitivity and empathy is overwhelming you - one more thing to deal with - on top of life.
Know this: your sensitivity? It’s something to be fostered, harnessed and loved. And that’s what this course is all about.
This course helps you begin to identify triggers that lead to overwhelm. It means you get a deeper knowing of yourself and can help you to be prepared as you move through life.
Welcome to Reclaiming Your Sensitivity
While your sensitivity may feel like a burden, it’s actually a gift. We need more sensitives to balance our modernity – you are the sensitive place that creativity and dreams come from.
This is a series of tried and tested techniques for building more bandwidth so your sensitivity becomes a trusted friend as opposed to just another thing you have to deal with. Throughout the five weeks, you’ll learn to build and layer your inner core 'energy' to build a deeper strength and more capacity that you can come back to time and time again.
You learn to live more fully and to engage with life on your terms with clear boundaries and knowing how to settle yourself and your body and to spot when you have tipped over the edge into overwhelm.
I genuinely love your sensitivity and respect the nuance and depth that it brings you. I know that when you’re not in that space of overwhelm, you see multitudes - and with the right toolkit, it can really support you.
I know, because I specialise in teaching sensitive people to understand how sensitivity is an extra sense and how it is hardwired into our nervous systems. Once we understand this, we can become resilient and robust around the pressures of modern life – especially if we find ourselves being frequently overwhelmed by people, places and situations.
I empower you to find a more appropriately connected space between yourself and life, reclaiming your sensitivity and empathy in these intense times.
You get weekly access to modules in an easy to use format, with downloadable audio practices, PDFs and spoken word content with an occasional video.
An opportunity to use creative processes as well as embodied imagination practice in each lesson
Lessons released every week over a five week period.
Allow about an hour a week for the lessons.
Practicing the techniques daily leads to change. When you start, it will take about 15 to 20 minutes; with practice and familiarity with the exercises, the quicker they become.
Discover your energetic edges
Develop an energetic inner core strength
Understand more of where you end and others begin
Become responsive rather than reactive
Achieve a deeper knowing and understanding of yourself
Identify triggers that lead to overwhelm
The more you use them the more they become second nature to you, so that when you encounter stressful and challenging situations you can respond rather than react or become defensive and shut down.
Practicing them brings you robustness and resilience, helps you to settle your system so you can find more space in your body, and remain centred and grounded and know when to step away.
Reclaim your Sensitivity was originally released as Self-Care for Sensitives, some of the material in the course refers to it as 'Self Care for Sensitives' - please be patient with me as I slowly change the videos and materials to give it a fresh new feel... it is, as always, a work in progress in balancing my life between this work, family life and being outside in my garden!

"I've been having great use of the practices we've done for me to get more clear about my own energetic field, how I energetically interact with others, and how I can create a less messy, more wholesome energetic field for myself. I continue to use the tools on a regular basis, and it comes to great use in my daily work as a psychosomatic practitioner in psychiatry."

As someone freshly navigating their sensitivity and deep childhood trauma and how it holds itself in my body and mind, Reclaiming Sensitivity has been so valuable. ChaNan has curated the course in a way that makes you and those scared and anxious parts of yourself feel safe and held — and empowered when all too often we are taught to resent them. Thank you, ChaNan, for these wonderful resources that are helping me find my way in settling and finding calm and safety in the face of intense overwhelm.

I hear you, life can be really intense at times. Remember you have life time access with the point being you go at your own pace. Many folk say that just doing the first lesson really helps them deal with life and then when you are ready the other lessons are there for you when you have the space.
No! They are simple, easy to use and there is no wrong way to do them... if you find a different way of doing something that works for you - I will be delighted and please let me know!!
Yes, to get full benefit of the exercises it is very helpful to practice them regularly, building them into a routine. This then establishes the “muscle memory so they become second nature. For them to truly work well you need to practice for a good 15-20 minutes ideally daily for at least a month. Soon they will become second nature to you.
Each lesson is about an hour long, the practices are short, no more than 20 minutes.
Hands up, I admit I am led by my intuition, and I love an oracle card and an essence. However this is rooted in the science of our nervous system, and how our senses and our sensory awareness cannot be seperated from our fight, flight and freeze drives - which can easily lead us into overwhelm.
I try and steer away from new agey platitudes and really invite you into your body - for some it's a step too far and that's ok. If you are unsure - reach out!
The duration is about 5 weeks, with lessons released every week to give you time to practice.
Within each section there is a downloadable pdf document, with creative journal prompts, this is also recorded into spoken word.
