The same way a chiropractor restores physical alignment, somatic alignment restores balance and resilience after years of mental, emotional, and energetic strain.

Welcome!

I am Reign. I am passionate about the reclamation and remembering of culture by the "Black/ African-American/ Afro-Latinx/ Afro-Caribbean" and other indigenous folks in the americas displaced from colonial occupation.I connect with the ancestors through closed spiritual practices as well as through dance, song, food, movement, and storytelling.I survive modern colonial occupation as the living continuation of my Black and Indigenous (Mvskoke and Aniyvwiya) ancestors.My practice includes de-assimilating, and remembering rituals, ceremonies, knowledge, stories, and trades. I feel it is important to preserve and return these practices.

Tracing My Return

My Guiding Questions

โ€ขWhat is worth remembering?
โ€ข How do we preserve what can't be written down?
โ€ข Can rest be reclamation?
โ€ข How to reclaim our language and remain in community with our tribe?
โ€ข How to begin, again?
โ€ข What happens when birth and death are communal, not medical events?
โ€ข How can labor remain remain sacred?

[Through collective memory, I journey with folks through trance meditation, dance, breath, and song. Together we find the medicinal toolkit that restores harmony in your body.]

My Art and 'Tings

My artistic mediums include time, memory, breath, movement, sound, touch, and sustenance. Because my medium is not bound to objects, my art can be felt as much as seen.Above, you can experience some images from my "remembering" journey.Because my labor is communally exchanged, You are welcome to support my work. Your support makes space for this work to continue.

Embracing Reclamation, Joy, and Freedom as an act of Active Resistance!

Embodiment Sessions

Who is this for?

  • You manage your work, relationships, and life; but, inside you feel chronically over-extended, mentally or emotionally scattered, and disconnected from your body

  • You are have breakdowns in your health, mental wellness, emotional capacity, and wellness practitioners are treating these parts of you independently: but you are seeking integration

  • This work does not involve trauma processing, emotional catharsis, storytelling, or co-regulation: You remain fully in control of your own experience

What will we do?

We will use ancestral and body-manages tools to restore the nervous system regulation, align with vital organ function, and help your mind, body, and energy to feel steady and grounded.

  • You want your energy to support your life and work, not leak out through others

  • You are ready to feel safe in your body, instead of constantly future-planning, self-shaming, and feeling fearful or anxious navigating life's uncertainty

Please keep in mind...

  • This is not mental health counseling or therapy

  • You remain completely in control of your own experience and healing

  • This work draws on classical, body-based practices that support regulation, alignment, and internal balance

Many teams have visionary missions but operate inside structures built on colonial, capitalist, and white-centered norms โ€” competition, perfectionism, hierarchy, and performative โ€œcorrectness.โ€This work supports organizations ready to decenter those frameworks and build a structure grounded in relationship, reciprocity, and liberation.Through a three-phase process โ€” Clearing, Grounding, and Ritualizing โ€” your team learns how to make decisions, share power, motivate, and relate in ways that reflect your true mission rather than default systems of control.This is the practice of transforming how your organization lives its values.

Core Offering: Leadership, Organizational Alignment, & Culture Development ProgramA deep, customized engagement for organizations ready to build or realign the foundation of their leadership and culture.This process transforms your organizationโ€™s inner architecture minimizing performative allyship and overt centering of capitalism and colonialism.
]{#7E7C99D1}

3 Phase Core Program:

1. Clearing:Identify how colonial and capitalist ideals shape your operations.

  • Identify and name the colonial and capitalist patterns shaping your current operations

  • Examine how performative โ€œallyshipโ€ or โ€œneutralโ€ language reinforces avoidance, microaggressions, and disembodiment

  • Release perfectionism and the performative pursuit of โ€œbeing rightโ€ to reorient toward presence, accountability, and relationship repair

  • Establish clear, non-punitive pathways for addressing harm, feedback, and misalignment

2. Grounding:Once weโ€™ve witnessed and cleared what doesnโ€™t serve, we will refine your mission, vision, purpose and values.

  • Revisit or rewrite your mission, vision, and values through a relational lens

  • Identify where current structures and workflows contradict your stated values and realign them with your living purpose

  • Shape decision-making, power distribution, and communication based in reciprocity and community

  • Identify gaps between stated values and lived practice

  • Develop principles that guide leadership, compensation, and collaboration

3. Ritualizing:Create living practices that keep these values alive.

  • Design rituals and recurring practices that make your values visible and felt in daily operations

  • Shape leadership rhythms that support mission alignment, from how meetings open, to how success is defined, to how repair is made

  • Leave with a living, iterative framework to carry forward across hiring, onboarding, and team culture

Who is this for?
This process is for organizations, collectives, and leadership teams that:

  • Have outgrown DEI training and want systemic realignment

  • Feel tension between mission or public values, and internal practices

  • Want to challenge settler colonial leadership philosophy

  • Notice staff or leadership are expressing burnout, disconnection, or misalignment

  • Are entering a new phase โ€” expansion, leadership transition, or strategic planning โ€” and want to ground it in non-western philosophies

When to Engage in This Program?

  • When youโ€™ve reached the limits of traditional DEI and leadership training

  • When internal conflict, fatigue, or turnover suggest deeper cultural misalignment

  • When youโ€™re refining your mission, preparing for a major transition, or restructuring leadership

  • When youโ€™re ready to slow down, reflect, and reorient toward natural relationships

Each engagement begins with a discovery call to understand your organizationโ€™s readiness and desired rhythm of transformation.From there, we co-design a container that fits your structure, capacity, and goals.
