Somatic Workshop with Lindsay Johnson
Please join us for a community workshop for anyone interested in using somatic practices and strategies to support themselves and others through difficult times.
Somatic work has the potential to help you endure stress and physical and emotional pain with more strength, hope, and courage.
It invites you to connect to your physical body and sensations beyond your thinking brain, which can often keep you stuck in patterns and behaviors that no longer serve you.
This empowering mindfulness model can shift the ways you view yourself, how you function in times of stress, and develop a better sense of personal agency.

About Your Facilitator
I’m Lindsay Johnson, MSN, RN…
I’m a Registered Nurse from Tucson with ten years of experience in hospital nursing.
I spent the majority of my career in the the highest acuity Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit in Southern Arizona. During my time at the bedside, I cared for the sickest of the sickest patients, witnessing them suffer physically, emotionally, and financially. My colleagues and I worked tirelessly to fix the unfixable, despite the miracles of modern medicine. I knew that there had to be a better way.
Before ending my career in the hospital, I worked for corporate, entering nursing data for nine different hospitals into a database. I’d look at the data for hundreds of faceless patients who had fallen in the hospital each quarter and brainstorm ways the bedside nurses could prevent it from my little home office. It was devastating and I couldn’t wait to quit. Again, I knew there had to be a better way.
And then, I became a mama. I soon realized that modern mothers, particularly those who have been oppressed due to their skin color, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, or class, don’t have the level of support and nurturing they require. We are expected to be everything for everyone. Our society has failed us, and as a result, we put ourselves last, placing us at risk for physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual illness and dis-ease. We are left unbalanced, depleted, and lonely, in desperate need for the community care that we once had. Again, I knew there was a better way.
It was time to take the leap of faith. I quit my high paying corporate job and registered for the International Nurse Coach Association certification program. Now, I am an Integrative Nurse Coach.
As a nurse coach, I take a holistically guided approach, believing that you are a unique, whole being with the innate ability to heal yourself. While modern medicine works miracles and the nurses, physicians, and other members of the health care team are fantastically talented and caring, there is a better way! It’s not enough just to treat illness and manage disease. It’s time to recognize that healing is a deeply personal process, and I am here to help you get there.
