For those who feel everything:
Move from being overwhelmed to being stabilized.
For years, I completely misunderstood my own gifts.
I spent 12 years as a trauma-informed yoga teacher running my own studios, fully bought into the "love and light" narrative. I believed that if I just kept my heart open, kept practicing, and kept things positive, the overwhelming anxiety and unexplainable pain I carried would eventually quiet down.
I was wrong. By ignoring the true nature of my energetic sensitivity, I pushed my system to the brink. It culminated in a holotropic breathwork session that triggered a mental health crisis and landed me in a psychiatric hospital.
That was the wake-up call. I realized with terrifying clarity that if I continued to ignore my gifts and if I didn't learn how to actually manage them, I would probably spend the rest of my life in a psych ward, unable to sort out actual reality from the psychic noise echoing in my head.
"Love and light" couldn't save me. Learning about my gifts, how to ground, and how to use these gifts for a purpose.
I learned the hard way that you don’t need to heal your sensitivity; you need to build the container to hold it.
The Professional Foundation
Today, I bridge the gap between the psychological, the somatic, and the spiritual. My framework is built on over a decade of deep study with Mary Shutan, alongside training with shamanic practitioners like Betsey Bergstrom and Sandra Ingerman.
I use specialized techniques to guide clients "in", helping them access the subconscious and the body’s wisdom with safety and precision. I am not a "healed" guru; I am a practitioner who still navigates the human experience daily. I still go to therapy, I still see my own spiritual healer, and I am committed to my own ongoing work.
How We Work Together
I work with those navigating spiritual awakenings, people who feel they are "absorbing" the world around them, and those ready to dive into shadow work. My method is an intuitive blend of Body Deva communication and deep energetic healing.
Energetic Hygiene & Boundaries: Most sensitive people don't need to "open" more. I help you build the internal architecture to stay grounded and stable. We focus on practical energetic hygiene so you can stop being a sponge for the environment around you.
The "Why" of Absorption: We look at the root reasons why your system may be absorbing others' energies. We recognize that your survival patterns were once intelligent, even if they are no longer needed.
Body Deva: I guide you into a dialogue with the consciousness of your body (the Body Deva) to address the "why" behind your symptoms.
Stability Over Intensity: Healing isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about learning how to live as who you already are without being overwhelmed by it.
Logistics: I offer 1:1 sessions both online and in-person in Skagit County, WA.
SOMATIC SPIRITUAL HEALING-online and in person
Somatic Spiritual Healing
If you are navigating a spiritual awakening, feeling overwhelmed by your own sensitivity, or ready to look at the shadow patterns that have kept you "absorbing" the world around you: I am here to help you find your footing.
We won’t just talk about your experience; we will work with the intelligence of your system to build the internal architecture you need to stay grounded and clear. Whether you are in Skagit County and want to sit across from me in person, or you are joining me online from anywhere in the world, our work is about creating a way of living that actually works for you.
How to Begin:
Send me an email with what you’re looking for and whether we’d be meeting local, or through the internet. Sending me available time frames are also helpful.
Nicole Anzaldua
I bring together lived experience, a background in social work, and a deep reverence for the human healing process. My training in social work, along with continued study in spiritual awakening, spiritual emergency, Internal Family Systems (parts work), and somatic healing practices, grounds my approach in both compassion and practical tools. I focus not only on the theories, but on how these approaches actually help us feel safer in our bodies and more connected in our lives.
These frameworks guide the way I support clients through major life transitions, deep emotional work, and expanded states of consciousness: always with an emphasis on safety, clarity, and integration.
At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in relationship, in spaces built on compassion, curiosity, and consistency. That is the kind of space I offer: one where you don’t have to minimize your sensitivity, simplify your complexity, or hide your past.
Bring your whole self. We’ll work from there.

For when talk alone isn’t enough.
My sessions offer a space to slow down, reconnect with your body, and explore the deeper emotional patterns that shape how you move through the world. This is therapy for the parts of you that feel stuck, numb, overwhelmed, or like you're repeating the same relational dynamics—whether or not you can explain why.
-
Supporting meaning-making before and after altered states.
If you’re working with psychedelics (or considering it), I offer support before and after your sessions to help you engage with the process intentionally. Whether you're new to the process or experienced with expanded states, our work will help you stay anchored in your values and centered in your integration.
-
For when the wound feels older than your memory.
This work bridges the spiritual and emotional layers of your healing. It’s for the parts of you that feel lost, fragmented, or weighed down by something that isn’t entirely yours—and are ready to come back home to yourself.
We’re probably the right fit if…
✓ You’ve done the work: therapy, self-help, spiritual growth, but something still feels unresolved. You know there’s a deeper layer that’s been waiting to be met.
✓ You’re insightful and self-aware, but tired of being the one who always has to explain. You’re ready for someone who gets you without needing a full backstory.
✓ You’ve worked with other practitioners, but they missed something essential. You’re looking for depth, nuance, and someone who can hold both your pain and your power.
✓ You’re open to alternative paths—whether that’s somatic work, shamanic healing, or integration after psychedelic experiences. You just want something that actually works.
✓ You’re not looking for surface-level fixes anymore. You’re ready to come home to yourself—and want a guide who can walk beside you, not in front of you.
