YOU ARE HERE TO REMEMBER WHAT IT MEANS TO WALK FREE:
Full trust that you hear and follow your intuition, no matter the circumstances
Embodied sovereignty as your foundation to loving, interdependent relationships
No longer needing to try -- to be healthy, to be good, to be responsible...
Instead, moving from devotion to the Truth that lives through you.
This is the practice of coherence.
Join Us
Freedom isn't waiting
until you have more knowledge, money, or an off-grid home.
Sovereignty is our birthright and nature.
True freedom is internal spaciousness.
When we dissolve the wars inside of us, we can finally feel the possibility in our free will.
From this place, even heartbreak has playfulness, and our pain holds potential for pleasure.
To live into our freedom, we shed the ways of being that have held us back from our fullness:
How we've learned to shrink ourselves to stay safe or accepted,
All the traps of trying to "fix" or "do the right things" for our health (or the world),
The sticky subconscious beliefs that have us repeating the same pattern over and over.
Now more than ever, we are being asked to embody our liberation, and birth a new way.
For ourselves, our lineages, and the world.
Here, we remember how.
IN CHRYSALIS
we allow ourselves to dissolve, so that we may emerge free.
CHRYSALIS is a holy woven container for transformation: a place in which we allow ourselves to turn inwards, and surrender all that is known, so that we can emerge into our fullest expression.
Here, you will spiral inwards into the depths of yourself, layer by layer. You will open your own channel of Truth, and build the energetic and practical skills to move from this place, in all aspects of your life.
This is the cultivation of coherence: the relationship between the conscious and subconscious, thoughts and behaviors, body and spirit. From this space, anything is possible.
"Chrysalis is church. We are reprogramming and undoing…but really returning and remembering. This is how I would have lived had I not been severed from my indigineity and connection to my body. Before Chrysalis, I don’t think I was living in the real world…because in reality, we have so much power and agency.”
-Christina
How We Journey Together:
Unwind Your Patterns and Set Yourself Free
Learn how to look at the most frustrating, stuck patterns in you with love and playfulness, make your subconscious visible, and unwind generational patterns that heal forwards and backwards through time
Understand Your Sacred Biology
In a world of endless modalities, practice what it actually means to listen to your own flesh and discern your own medicine, and learn the language of biological adaptation to free yourself from health dogma
Heal Through Collective Witnessing
We are sovereign beings, AND interdependent. In a relational cohort, learn how to witness others and allow yourself to be seen in the raw unfolding of you, and let other women's stories unwind things in your flesh
Embody Coherence, and Experience Your True Size
Who are you when you stop bracing and contorting yourself? Through play and embodiment, come to know your vitality and agency through the felt experience of coherence in your life
This is for the pattern-seekers and the cycle-breakers.
Whether it’s that symptom that keeps showing up in your body, a pattern that keeps arising in your relationships, or a challenging inner belief that just doesn’t seem to shift… There's a part of you that knows there is something deeper that’s asking to be seen and alchemized.
YOU MAY...
-
Feel like you’ve reached a plateau in your health or spiritual journey
-
Desire to be held and witnessed as you tend to the root, without sacrificing your autonomy or your own inner voice
-
Be caught the narrative that you have to ‘do health right’ or learn all the things to achieve healing, but there is a part of you that is tired of the race
-
Feel like you need a translator for what is actually happening within you so that you can better understand and work with what’s arising, rather than fighting against it
-
Have spent years in talk therapy trying to reframe the same beliefs and patterns, but there’s still something that hasn’t landed in your body – shifting feels like an uphill battle
-
Feel scared to be seen in community, access belonging, and be witnessed in your true size and yet… you can feel how this expression of you will lead to the deeper, more connected life experiences and relationships you’ve been craving
-
Know there is an intuitive, wise part of you that sometimes you can’t access it or bypass it out of fear, and you’re ready to finally embody and access your intuition in any situation
This isn’t about needing a fix, or finding the “right” cure.
Whether you arrive with period pain, chronic gut issues, repeating relationship cycles or just the feeling that there’s MORE to you that hasn't been expressed,
this space is for you if:
you want to play in the deep realms of the unseen, and alchemize the stickiest spots in your life into the most beautiful medicine.
When you join Chrysalis, you build relationships within a community of women who are dedicated to holding our own sovereignty, in the context of interdependence.
You already have the medicine – but you don’t have to do it alone.
"It’s so good to be held by people who don’t pretend to have it all together."

THE SPIRALING CURRICULUM
We spiral through the body, through our patterns, through the curriculum of our life. There is no rush -- you are the medicine.
MODULE 01
Yin Reverence: Reviving Nourishment
How do we rewrite our relationship with nourishment -- from food, to love, to spiritual practice, to our relationship with the earth?
SPIRIT ALCHEMY:
- Learn how to open up your internal channels to access intuition and hunger
- Unwind stories of nourishment, food and receiving
- Unpack the myths of “self love” and orient to earth reverence as a rewrite of how we orient to our bodies
SACRED BIOLOGY:
- Understand the how and why of our digestive symptoms, from constipation to food sensitivities and more
- Unlock the keys to easeful digestion through somatic re-patterning
- Learn the foundational nutritional needs for female metabolism
Embody what it means to actually hear and listen to your body’s communication, and dissolve the internal barriers to receiving nourishment in your life.
MODULE 02
Yang Reverence: Restoring Our Inner Witness
How do we begin to bring consciousness to our unconscious patterns, and allow them to unwind so we can be free?
SPIRIT ALCHEMY:
- Unwind childhood experiences of belonging and safety, and how they impact how you see the world
- Meet and play with the personas that live inside you, and how they play out narratives of rescuer, victim, and villain
- Practice tools to look at your inner voice with curiosity and compassion
SACRED BIOLOGY:
- Unwind the patterns in our posture and the possibilities beyond “chronic pain” through understanding how self-worth and perception can live in the bones, muscles, and fascia
- Learn the biology of the “freeze” response and how to support mobilizing
Discern your true essence from external condition, and practice key tools for observing and shifting deep patterns
MODULE 03
Cycles of Birth and Death: Womb Patterns and "Illness" as Initiation
How might we come to know how to do death with reverence, as an expression of birth – through our menstrual cycle, “illness,” and the challenges of our lives?
SPIRIT ALCHEMY
- Orient to the menstrual cycle as a microcosm of your life,
- Explore how to work with resistance as a teacher
- Practice how to express rage, grief and fear – and what can shift as a result
- Develop an integrated practice of cyclical living – beyond the rules of your “inner seasons”
SACRED BIOLOGY:
- Understand what actually creates symptoms like period pain, cysts, fibroids and more – and how to relate to these expressions without fear leading our lives
- Learn how to track and embody your fertility with confidence
Build confidence in navigating the death-birth spirals of your life, and grow your capacity to feel your emotions and move energy
MODULE 04
How to Hear Your Flesh: Receptivity and the Art of Open/Close.
How do we know when we are a “yes”, a “no”, or somewhere in between – and how might we unwind wounds of (self) betrayal, so we can be open to experiencing the fullness of life?
SPIRIT ALCHEMY:
- Explore the paradigm of yin & yang as a path toward relational liberation
- Unwind sexual wounds and rewrite the story of “boundaries”
- Cultivate the inner sensitivity to hear AND respond to your “close” as much as your “open”
SACRED BIOLOGY:
- Understand the differences in the biology of territory in men and women
- translate symptoms like yeast, bladder infections, skin rashes, and more as guides in your intimacy journey
- Traverse the portal of your regenerative cervix, and move through her stories
Trust that you can honor your “close:, hear your “open”, and embody the depth of your pelvic bowl.
MODULE 05
Preference, Pleasure, Desire: Becoming Our Own Medicine
What becomes possible when we orient to the purpose of desire as feeling, rather than achieving? What miracles can happen through the medicine of our own touch?
SPIRIT ALCHEMY:
- Explore the somatic differences between our preferences, what is pleasurable, and what is deep desire
- Play with tender places of emptiness, longing, and transmuting this into energy that fuels you
- Experiment with the medicine of self touch for pattern shifting and unwinding
- Bring these practice into your daily life: in the kitchen, the bedroom, your work
SACRED BIOLOGY
- Understand your sexual anatomy and how to work the tissues of your pelvic bowl, through your own hands
- Traverse the portal of your regenerative cervix, and move through her stories
- Embody your breast tissue, how to release through your own touch, and learn the true factors to breast health
Awaken the voice of your desire, and trust the medicine skills in the touch of your own hands
MODULE 06
Inner Union: Living Into Liberation
As we integrate what has dissolved and what has been built anew, how do our inner yin and yang relate to each other? Where do we now source belonging, how do we perceive ourselves and the world, and how does this inner work translate to the experience of the outside world?
SPIRIT ALCHEMY:
- Synthesize and practice the marriage of yin (body, sensation, spirals) and yang (mind, action, linear direction)
- Practice being in devotion to our own hearts, even in challenging external circumstances
- Redefine what belonging, community, and interdependence look like, from this place of embodied sovereignty
BODY LITERACY:
- Dive deeper into the many pathways into resolving biological conflicts
- Celebrate with story medicine and ceremony, to honor the liminal space that precedes a rebirth
As we close, we will prepare to be reborn -- knowing that as we walk free, liberation ripples out.
In this space, the hardest, most untenable parts of you aren’t actually a problem.
Rather than forcing them away, we witness the mess, the ugly, the sticky – and allow their grasp on us to dissolve.
Without a war within us... we have true freedom.
WOMEN'S EXPERIENCE IN CHRYSALIS
WITNESSING EACH OTHER COME HOME TO OURSELVES.
“I’m so grateful that this exists…you have no idea how beautiful it was to be a little terrified and know I would be held in a way that not only aligns with my values but also really made me feel safe and could acknowledge the spiritual complexity of life, rather than just giving me something to stop the [symptom] and just sending me on my way without any type of consolation for the underlying issue.”
-Rachel
“What really strikes me is how much deeper I am able to trust my body after doing this work. Ever since I was small, I’ve been pretty anxious around health. It led to a decade + of learning everything I could about women’s health & holistic healing methods. I didn’t realize until I got to the Womb Room that I was playing out patterns or avoidance and attempts to control the inherently uncontrollable. This space helped me get out of the endless race of my mind and into my body, where the deep work of healing can take place.”
-Sabrina
EARTH REVERENCE MOVES AT THE PACE OF THE BODY.
Here, there is space to breathe. Time to practice, integrate, spiral. We come together live 3-4 times monthly, but there is no "behind". No need to "catch up". Show up in the bath, in the kitchen, with your bonnet on, with a baby on your breast. You come as you are.
This journey is intentionally slow, with a 1 year minimum commitment (some women choose to stay longer). In the words of one of our students, Emma:
"When I signed up, it felt a little daunting. Like wow: this is going to be a year. But it has felt just like the perfect pace, a really solid good rhythm. I don’t know how you all magic-ed this, but things come up in my life as they come up in the curriculum. It has worked amazingly. I’m working on just one thread at a time, slowly starting to untangle them. And it’s just, slow. It’s the body’s pace."

"My internal landscape has undergone a complete reimagination."
-EMMA
Where the biological laws of nature come to life:
In CHRYSALIS, we work with the foundational paradigm of Germanic Healing, the understanding that ALL our symptoms and patterns are the result of a specific, brilliant adaptation to an experience of unexpected "shock".
Through understanding these biological laws, we gain clarity and trust in our symptoms... but the real magic comes from the application of practical skills.
Through belief medicine, somatic practice, communication skills, embodied expression and more, we grow our capacity to FEEL in our lives, and move from a place of COHERENCE -- which is the foundation of vibrant health.
We'll spiral through a monthly sacred biology curriculum, covering everything from digestive to womb challenges, skin to anxiety, cervical dysplasia to breast changes and more.
If you're new to germanic healing OR looking for a place to put it into practice as an integrated part of your life, this is for you.

SPIRAL INTO
THE SACRED STRUCTURE
OF OUR LIVE TEACHING CALLS
New Moon Teachings
We begin each lunar cycle with "moon church" -- a live teaching and transmission call to receive the core curriculum and prepare our bodies, psyches, nervous systems for the unwinding work of that month. We will dive deep into energetic concepts, bring in life examples, and orient to how patterns shows up in the body.
Full Moon Coherence
Each month there will be one 2 hour, live "Coherence Call" for your cohort. During these calls, we will be in embodied practice together, build our energetic skills, and have time to share, reflect, and receive witnessing and feedback on the emerging patterns relevant to the module.
Sacred Biology Learning
For each module, you'll have the opportunity to drop into learning an aspect of your sacred biology, through the germanic healing framework. (Some will be prerecorded, some live). You'll also have the opportunity to bring your questions and digestion to monthly weekend medicine call (like office hours, but more magic).
“The Womb Room is unlike any other women’s space I’ve been in. I’ve been in many coaching containers that wind up being a space where the leadership takes questions, filters them through their own experiences and then dumps advice accordingly. Here, we’re guided to inquire within ourselves and find our answers, with loving support and witchy wisdom."
-Em
SCHOOL OF COHERENCE
Returning Magic to Medicine
CHRYSALIS is the foundational program in The School of Coherence, a 3 - 5 year program offered within The Womb Room designed to instruct and awaken women into their innate role as Medicine Women. To be embodied in our work means we must know our internal world deeply, and be in the practice of inner alchemy as the foremost means of changing the world. That is where we start in CHRYSALIS.
Upon completion of Chrysalis, you have access to our upper-lever practitioner training programs and apprenticeships, from medical magic, to women's health, to energetic agility for space holders, business as spiritual practice, and more.
WATCH THE OPEN HOUSE
"If we can heal a missing period, what else can we do? I can jump start a car with magic. I can escalate my own symptoms just so I can connect the dots of what’s going on. I can heal and then watch my sister’s periods heal, and she’s not even explicitly doing this work... that's the power of this work."
-CHRIS

MEET YOUR GUIDES
Qiddist
Mother of The Womb Room and CHRYSALIS lead teacher
Qiddist is a traditional midwife, medicine woman, teacher, and facilitator of inner transformation. She orients to the brilliance of our flesh as the practice ground for spiritual lessons, and unwinding patterns through the body as a path to sustainable change in our lives, and the world. Student of quantum physics, God, and our sacred biology, her work is dedicated to the cultivation of coherence in our lives, and in service to collective healing and liberation.
She has spent the last 12 years in the field of female health, in fields such as doula to midwifery work, western and Black southern herbalism, quantum biology, germanic healing knowledge, homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, hormone health and metabolism, quantum physics, and mostly, the study of her own life -- and the lives of others.
THE LINEAGE OF OUR WORK
Our approach is deeply multifaceted, weaving multiple ways of knowing into creative conversation with each other. We draw on the wisdom of Western clinical herbalism, Chinese Medicine, metabolic health, functional hormone health, Taoism, shiatsu, German New Medicine, polyvagal theory, parts work, autonomous midwifery, hands-on pelvic care, female-centered movement, past life explorations, medical mediumship, the study of quantum physics, and more, as digested and embodied by us.
We are practitioners of radical and liberatory pedagogy practices, weaving information from our two Master’s Degrees in Education (we met in grad school!) with our lived experiences as facilitators, instructors, and way-showers.
We know from working with hundreds of women that transformation happens through relationships, and through the weaving of our collective threads together. For this reason, we approach the work of female bodily wisdom, health, and energetic alchemy through a relational, intimate cohort of women where we learn across the circle from each other, with each woman bringing and receiving her own unique medicine.
Our teachings draw from our study with many teachers: Rachelle Garcia Seliga, Donna Maria Camps, Moira Scullion, Peter Moy, Gilbert Renaud, Misha Sol, Karen Cunningham, Susun Weed, Peter Moy, John Wineland, Kendra Cunov, SistaShamon Maria, Renay Oshop, Ellen Heed, Martin Beaudoin, Karen Culpepper, Reverend Angel Kyodo Williams, Byron Katie, Tina Zion, Allyson McQuinn, Ashley Elenbaas, Camille Freeman, and more.
It is our deepest prayer that our work honors and uplifts the beauty that we have and continue to receive from our teachers.

WORDS FROM OTHER WOMEN
THE WEB WE WEAVE RIPPLES OUT.
"I’ve peeled back my once buckled desires. I’ve burned old forms of what I thought it meant to hold “open,” and to hold “closed.” I’ve come to know no outcome in the external world ever had the power to break me. When truth is known and lived, my flesh feels the difference."
-Sarah
"You have helped me come to know my true size, my depths, and myself as a woman through good care, your poignant reflections, witnessing me and all else that happens in here. This space has gone beyond me, and I with it."
-Margaret
"Being here is like sitting around a fire... we are all soaking up and sharing wisdom. It's a place where we learn how to witness each other, and how to hold others and ourselves well."
-Rosie
"In the past I felt a hero story that says that feeling peace in this current time would be bad or wrong… cultivating my internal union has made it possible for peace to be a true priority, and as I’ve welcomed ease into my life, it has showed up in the ease of my intimate relationships. Thank you from the depths of me for changing my life. This work you share is liberatory and I feel so lucky to have landed here."
-Karin
"Chrysalis dissolves the wall between the human and the magic. I thought I hated God and then… now we’re tight. I don’t truly feel like a victim to my body anymore, as much as I did before. I am now able to digest the magic of life as a human, because of Chrysalis."
-Imani
WE EMBODY OUR SOVEREIGNTY, AND FIND SUSTAINABLE INTERDEPENDENCE.
When you join Chrysalis, you build relationships within a community of women who are dedicated to holding our own sovereignty, in the context of interdependence.
In this space, we learn how to hold ourselves and rewire safety as an internal process, learn to re-parent our tender selves, and orient to our triggers as teachers.
AND, we do this together. As a cohort, we experience practice witnessing and being witnessed, knowing that when we share our true expression, it is medicine for the collective.
When our unwinding process happens out loud, it unlocks healing for the women around us – and ripples out into the collective.
Here, we change ourselves, to change the world.

EMBARK ON THE JOURNEY WITH US - WE BEGIN APRIL 23
A letter from Qiddist:
In my own healing journey and a women's health practitioner, I used to think that if we JUST had more knowledge about our bodies, we would finally be FREE. Free of suffering, free of the seemingly-external systems of control.
After years of teaching and learning, I found that this approach didn't move the needle in allowing us accessing our embodied sovereignty.
About 4 years ago, I landed in the knowing that information can only take us so far, if we don't have the capacity to hold truth, hear our body and follow it, and honor our deep knowing in the face of external pressure.
May our work serve you. Whether or not CHRYSALIS is for you, my deep prayer is that this inspires you to cultivate internal safety, know yourself deeply, play in the messy nuance of your life, and walk through the world in coherence with your heart.
