Come back to yourself.
Once Upon a Connection is a somatic wellness studio for women. Whether you need rest, release, reconnection, or all three — this is where that begins.
Through somatic healing, guided meditation, gentle movement, creative expression, and restorative connection work, we support nervous system regulation, trauma processing, and the reclamation of a woman's relationship with her own body, her sensuality, and her story.
Honoring every dimension of connection — love of self, motherhood, friendship, romantic love, intimacy, and the eternal commitments we make to the people we hold closest.
Every service begins and ends with the same intention: creating a safe, confidential container where you can be witnessed without performing — and reconnect with the woman who has been underneath the noise all along.
One to One Connection Work
How 1:1 Work Begins
Connection work at OUAC starts with you — your story, your body, your needs.
Step 1: Complete our confidential client intake form. Share as much or as little as you're comfortable with. There are no wrong answers.
Step 2: We review your responses with care and intention. This allows us to determine whether our practice is the right fit for your needs and to begin designing your first session.
Step 3: We'll reach out to schedule your exploratory session — 90 minutes designed around what your nervous system actually needs.
All 1:1 sessions are scheduled following intake review. We do not book sessions without first understanding who we're serving.

Guided Somatic Healing & Meditation for Stress Reduction & Nervous System Restoration
Guided somatic healing and meditation experience designed to regulate the nervous system, reduce chronic stress, and restore a felt sense of safety in the body. Using breathwork, gentle movement, crystal sensory therapy, guided meditation, and grounding techniques, these classes support participants in transitioning from fight-or-flight activation into a parasympathetic (rest-and-restore) state. Available one-on-one or in group settings.
Sensual Flow
Candlelight. Breathwork. Gentle somatic movement class. Body awareness on your own terms. Friday evening experience for women ready to reconnect with the parts of themselves they were taught to quiet. Designed to support nervous system regulation, interoceptive awareness, and reconnection with the body through gentle, intentional movement. Sensual Flow is not a This is not a fitness class — it is a restorative, body-based healing experience held in a safe, confidential container.
QiGong
QiGong is a gentle, ancient practice of coordinated breath, slow movement, and focused intention designed to support nervous system regulation, improve circulation and mobility, reduce chronic stress, and restore energetic balance. Suitable for all fitness levels and physical abilities, QiGong helps participants develop interoceptive awareness (the ability to sense what is happening inside the body) and build resilience against the physiological effects of stress, anxiety, and trauma.
Creative Connection Sessions - Artful Remedy for the Soul
Creative Connection is a therapeutic art and sensory exploration experience designed to support emotional processing, stress reduction, and self-expression through creative practice. Using tactile, visual, and sensory modalities, participants engage in guided creative work that bypasses cognitive processing and allows the body and hands to express what words may not yet capture. This class supports participants navigating grief, life transitions, identity shifts, and emotional overwhelm.
Erotic Awakening Meditation
Reclaim what was always yours.
A guided meditation experience designed to reconnect you with your sensuality, your body, and your power — on your terms. This is not therapy. This is not a show. This is a sacred, boundaried space for women ready to come home to themselves in ways they may have been taught to forget.
Private sessions and small group workshops. By inquiry only.
Take It Back - Linguistic Reclamation
A Linguistic Reclamation Meditation
Slut. Witch. Crazy. Too much. Difficult. Every woman carries a word that was used to make her smaller. This guided meditation is where you stop flinching and start defining. Through breathwork, somatic grounding, ritual burning, and embodied reclamation, you'll strip a word of the power someone else gave it — and fill it with the power you choose. This is not gentle work. It's necessary work. And you'll leave carrying a word that finally belongs to you.
Small group sessions and private gatherings. By inquiry only.
Story Shop
Tell me your story. I'll dress you in it.
Story Shop is a personal styling experience unlike anything else. You submit your story — who you are right now, what you're walking through, what makes you feel alive — and I curate a wardrobe selection that speaks to exactly that.
Available in-person at Savage Mill, at pop-up events, or shipped to your door.
And there is more - I am a writer at heart - I will take your submission and write your story to reflect the beautiful you that you are. And if, and only if, you wish, I will publish your story with your finds…
Your story empowers, your story lifts others…wear it with joy.
