YES/NO WORKSHOP
YES
NO
& LETTING GO
a somatic exploration of autonomy, choice, & boundaries
Your body is speaking. Do you know how to listen to it?
How you make choices. How much space you let yourself take up in a room. Where your boundaries actually sit, and whether you can say so out loud.
These aren't just mental decisions. They live in the body — in the shoulders that rise before you agree to something you don't want, in the breath that catches before you speak up, in the exhale when you finally get to say no.
When any of that goes unclear, or feels like it needs strengthening, the body is the place to go looking for the answer.
What the day holds.
One day, guided back into your own body's answers
This is a day-long workshop built to deepen your connection to yourself — and specifically to your body — through the themes of autonomy, choice, and boundaries. Guided by Allie Whitney and Dr. Michael Trexler, you'll get to know, on a whole new level, the part your body plays in holding and expressing both your yes and your no.
You'll practice noticing your body's own signals, then try them out — in a playful, safe environment built for exactly that. And because topics like this can stir up real feeling, the day also makes room for whatever anger, grief, or relief moves through you along the way.
Everything is informed by trauma-aware training: Polyvagal Theory, attachment science, interpersonal neurobiology, human anatomy and physiology, somatics, and emotional intelligence — held in a space built to be gentle, safe, and genuinely effective.
Small by design.
We cap this workshop at 13 people.
That's not a marketing choice — it's a clinical one. This work touches nervous systems, and nervous systems need enough safety and attention to actually settle into the material. A small group means more individual guidance from Allie and Dr. Trexler, more room for real exercises instead of just theory, and a container intimate enough that people actually let their guard down.
"Grateful for the group size — felt not too small and not too big." — Olivia B.
What's Included?
Every participant receives a physical workbook to guide you through the day's exercises and to take home afterward — a reference you can return to as you keep practicing what you learn.

Questions before you sign up
Do I need any prior experience with somatic work?
No. The day is built to meet you wherever you're starting from — whether this is your first time paying attention to your body's signals, or you've been doing this work for years.
Is this therapy?
It's an educational and experiential workshop, not a therapy session — though it's led by practitioners trained in trauma-informed, clinically grounded approaches, and it does make room for real emotion as it comes up.
What should I bring or wear?
Comfortable clothing you can move in. You're welcome to bring a water bottle, a journal, and either a packed lunch or plans to head out during the lunch break.
What if the cost is a barrier?
Sliding scale spots are available for anyone who needs them — reach out and we'll work it out together.
