A re-introduction
Hey, Sacred Heart! I figured it was time to do a re-introduction after taking a break from writing here to focus on my healing over the last year. :)
I’m Madison (they/she) I’m a queer femme practitioner from the Midwest who practices evolutionary somatics.
My work weaves the imaginal, Earth medicine and nervous system education together to support vitality, wholeness & individuation.
Helping you experience the goodness of you.
I am autistic with an OCD subset, and was once presenting with diagnosable C-PTSD, which I would now say is in remission!
Yay earned Secure Attachment!!
Discovering my autism in 2022 helped me step off the hamsterwheel of self-fixing & finally heal from the harm of years of masking and believing something was wrong with me.
The fun facts:
Virgo Sun - Pisces Moon - Libra Rising
A 4/1 Generator in human design (bonus life!!)
Enneagram 3w4, the trifix I most relate to is 379.
I started coaching fresh out of college at only 23 & n have never had a “real job”
- that was 12 years ago!
My favorite artist for a decade is Ariana Grande... and anyone who doesn’t like pop music can get their pretentious energy away from me.
Like many neurodivergent people, I am synesthetic and have wild pattern recognition and memory.
For better or worse… I remember.
Enneagram is one of my special interests and I can typically type someone within a few interactions. I know from memory the birth charts and Enneagrams of most people I know and work with.
Dance has always been a big part of my life.
I danced growing up, was on a hiphop dance team, led a dance strip tease dance class in college called “Bearly There” (lol), and am currently taking house dance classes. I do ecstatic dance monthly and have no shame dancing in public, at the park, anywhere.
Performance art, writing & painting have always been my passions.
I’m currently pursuing burlesque & drag to bring forward my more shady, sexy, salty side & rehab my suppressed anger. Also, why not?!
I was once a Christian missionary, was married at only 20-having never been naked with my ex-husband until our wedding night -and got divorced when I realized I was queer, in 2019. I thought I was just great at purity, ha!!
I came out as nonbinary lesbian this year!
I don’t plan on having children, but i take my role as cool auntie very seriously.
I have a sweetie for a partner. We met in 2019, and she was my first girlfriend. We had a messy breakup, went our separate ways & were shocked to find our way back together after much forgiveness & healing.
We got engaged last fall. :)
Morris is my angel pug. Named after Alyssa Edwards, Mr. Rigga Morris Morrigan.
He has healed so much in me. We also have a hound dog, Dally, who is Jayme’s rescue.
Estrangement and challenging family dynamics are no stranger to me.
As a CSA survivor, the golden-child turned scapegoat & having healed from enmeshment, I am in minimal contact with most of my family, but love them dearly from afar.
I’d never say I was “self made” but I do not have family support & have never been given a dime.
I was so proud to be able to purchase my own home in 2022! It made a huge difference in my sense of place and belonging. Everyone should have housing.
Due to my complicated relationship with family, I’ve widened my sense of belonging.
My chosen family & community are everything to me.
It’s taken me many years to find my people & heal from spiritual trauma, betrayals and bullying to find security in Self and therefore in relationship.
Even the folks who came and went have taught me so much about love, friendship & beauty.
I’ve been low key studying shamanism with my 81 year old mentor for 4 years- and I’ve kept much of my spirituality out of public view.
After a great departure from religion, I have not lost my connection to God, or Christ/ Sophia Consciousness (despite what my dad thinks lol)
My work and life are deeply informed by Earth medicine, psychedelics, wisdom
Enneagram, NLP, my 10 years in leadership coaching, Quantum Coherence & Biodynamics, Alchemical Alignment (Somatic Tools for Trauma Resolution and Embodiment of Spirit).
I love working with folks at threshold crossings-
finding miracles inside the impossible-
being a sacred, accurate witness of their reality and mirroring the goodness of their humanity back to them.
I have a robust private practice & gather twice a month with my online membership community, The Fortress.
My work supports folks to access their innate dignity, full expression and wholeness using ritual, self-inquiry and somatic practices.
I honestly find the spiritual / healing / wellness space to be quite grotesque, lacking humanity & predatory. I’m here for the humanity of it all. Why fit in a box when it’s the liberation we are after?!
My politics are:
Liberation for all
housing for all
food for all
medical care for all
no one should be incarcerated for weed
center children
believe women
protect the Dolls
MATRIARCHY NOW!!
May all people have their innate Dignity, Sovereignty & Freedom
That’s me, ya’ll.
Thank you for being here.
