In this intimate conversation, Jennifer sits down with body-mind practitioner Anastacia Lundholm to explore what it really means to come home to yourself through your body. Anastacia shares how subtle sensations become “flags” and then megaphones when we don’t listen, how generational patterns are carried in our nervous system, and why connecting with the body is essential for congruence and choice. She also offers a gentle guided practice to help you ground in gravity, soften tension, and begin a kinder relationship with your own body.

What You’ll Hear:

• The body carries generational stories. Tension, anxiety, and even illness can repeat across family lines when unresolved stress echoes through the nervous system.
• Patterns are inherited — and interruptible. Healing in one person today can shift what the next generation receives, no matter your family structure.
• Somatic awareness builds congruence. Slowing down, noticing sensations, and grounding in gravity help you access choice instead of automatic reactions.
• Your body’s messages start small. Subtle sensations turn into louder signals when ignored — not as punishment, but as guidance.
• A simple touch-and-breath practice can create immediate change. Anastacia leads a grounding process that softens tension and reconnects you with safety and presence.
• Self-compassion is essential. Body wisdom comes in pieces, not all at once. Patience and gentleness create the conditions for real insight.

Her work has taken her to 17 countries in North America, Europe, South America, Australia and Asia. Twenty years ago Anastacia added the Satir Model to her theoretical framework.

Anastacia brings the insights of the Satir Model and the body-centered personal growth to others in many formats. Her professional development programs enhance our awareness of one's own internal wisdom and the internal wisdom of our clients’ and give us new options to deepen our practice, regardless of what technique we offer. Her goal is to enhance everyone’s ability to interact with their clients towards self-responsibility, congruence and transformation. Her one-on-one coaching services help clients return to themselves and discover inner resources to achieve their goals with increased congruence and inner clarity.
