But perhaps what you feel more of the time is…

• Numb and hopeless, feeling like you’re living in the same compulsive patterns over and over.
• Overwhelmed or anxious, taking in the immense pain of the world on an endless scroll.
• Reactive or frustrated, but unable to express healthy anger or boundaries.

How often have you felt like it's impossible to feel a sense of peace in a world so full of suffering, racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, ableism - and more 'isms than fit in a reasonable sentence?

You might feel like you've been stuck in patterns of mindless scrolling, eating, insert-your-most-entrancing-distraction-here for so long - that words like "freedom" and “aliveness” sound trite or silly.

It's possible that those quiet longings for awe and wonder, gratitude for life, or even just the ability to safely feel and express your emotions - feel out of reach.

Imagine with me.

Imagine a world where we all felt safe inside ourselves. We understood our needs and were able to get them met. We understood our emotions, felt safe enough to take a deep breath, and had a deep sense of "enoughness" inside our beings.

It's a world I want. One that could turn capitalism, as it's currently running (and by no means working well for the majority of us) in a new direction. One where we were curious about each other before we were judgmental. A world where we celebrated each other's unique ways of thinking and expressing.

It’s a grand vision. I also know that there’s deep systemic change needed for all of us to thrive.

But I do believe if there’s a world we want to see, we’re most effective when we start within ourselves. 

• I want you to feel more free and less anxious.
• More alive and less on autopilot.
• More "you" and less of the conditioned "good girl” you may have learned to be.

Sound good? I'd be so happy to have you.

Entering Free Spirit Academy is like immersing yourself in a richly alive forest with multiple pathways to choose from.



The pathway you take first will depend on what you need.

Available course pathways:

In Binge Freedom, we learn that understanding emotional eating requires understanding our emotions.

In Liberated, we learn that to understand intuitive eating, we need to understand our intuition.

In Body Love, we learn to cultivate not only a liberated body image, but a relationship with our body as our wisest guide.

And in Coming Home to Your Body we come to understand why we struggle with painful emotions and compulsive/addictive behaviors. We also explore how to get to the root of our stress and trauma by learning to fully inhabit our body's experience. This is a course on how to feel.

In order to trust our bodies, we have to start understanding their language. 

The Anxiety Library: Coming Soon

The Grief Library: Coming Soon

The Anger Library: Coming Soon

The Boundaries Library: Coming Soon

Free Spirit Academy is not designed for navel gazing, spiritual bypassing, or getting lost in the pain of our past.

This is about actually feeling safe and grounded enough to move forward.

Testimonial

"Before working with Rande, I had been in the "self-development corner" for almost 5 years. I have even been trained as a coach myself, and still, with certain topics, I just couldn't get any further. It seemed like I knew and understood a lot but my body didn't come along at all. I knew a little about trauma and the nervous system but I had no idea how to "use" that knowledge. Whenever I wanted to go for those bigger challenges that I was longing for, and every time I tried to just "go for it" and take action, my body felt...awful. She constricted, felt tense, my brain got foggy and I didn't understand why. Since wanting to take action felt so awful, I procrastinated and procrastinated (which of course made me feel even more awful). I felt like I had been working on myself for so long and with such intensity, and still I didn't feel any closer to my heart's goals. After so many years of trying so hard, just listening to or reading her words made my body breathe a sigh of relief. For a moment, I'd feel more at home in my body, as if she'd been waiting for this kind of compassion. This step was and still is one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself, and my connection with my body and nervous system. I'm now able to feel at home in myself and in my body and this is the best feeling ever. "

Why is Free Spirit Academy different?

Because there’s a lot of information out there that I’ve found frustratingly un-helpful.

Healing is more than just “regulating your nervous system” or “getting into a parasympathetic state” or “toning your vagal nerve.”

Growth is more than just “thinking positively” or “not caring what anybody thinks” or “forgiving and moving forward.”

Transformation is more than just a before-and-after story.

This shit suppresses you. Your aliveness. Your wholeness. Your real-ness.

We’re far more complex and interesting than this. 

It’s time to come home to all of who you are.
