Winter Reset

 
 

welome IN!

I’m really glad you’re here.

This space isn’t about fixing yourself, pushing harder, or harsh new year new me vibes.

It’s about giving your system a chance to recalibrate after a season of stimulation, maybe a bit of overindulgence, and a lot of doing.

Over the next seven days, we’ll work gently with the body — through fascia, breath, nervous system support, nourishment, and simple daily touchpoints — to help things soften, settle, and find a new rhythm

There’s no right way to do this. No need to be perfect. No falling behind.

Some days you might do everything. Some days you might do one small thing and that’s enough. This reset is designed to meet you where you are and support your capacity, not test it.

If at any point your system asks for more time, you’re welcome to move slower or extend these practices beyond the seven days. And if you need less, trust that too. The body leads here.

Let this be a series of small love notes to your system — a way of listening, responding, and rebuilding trust with yourself as we step into a new year.


foundations

Daily Lymph Opening — First Thing in the Morning Practice - see Video >>>

The One practice will be foundational. Since we are also doing daily fascia classes, I highly recommend working with Petite. This is not about going hard or over doing but feeling our best in our body. However if you have time and feel like doing full One practices that is perfect too.

Daily Fascia Unwinding + Recalibrating with 5 Elements Support and Nervous System Love Notes - will drop below each evening prior
*you can also alternate if that is more manageable. One day The One, next Fascia class, The One, Fascia class, etc… Do what keeps you moving daily without feeling overwhelmed.

dietary suggestions

Whole foods. That’s really the heart of it. Nothing processed. Everything in its natural form. I love these below from the War Kitchen. You can find great recipes for detox support in Spring though I recommend only focusing on the cooked ones and some nourishing ones in Winter. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere bop around Summer and Spring for inspo.

I really love recipes from Feasting at Home and Deliciously Ella on IG right now and tend to use them as guidelines. For example I don’t do a ton of dairy so I would substitute it out in a lot of recipes unless it’s raw butter or some raw cheese. What feels good in your body? What do you know you need a break from? Incorporating more fiber thru sprouted oat porridge or beans will help your body move out some toxins. Great easy clean recipes I love here as well. I had Unique on the podcast.

Some things I’m thinking on my menu:

  • sprouted oats with cooked pears and walnuts (cooked pear is SO good for winter and very hydrating from the inside out)

  • this very nourishing soup has been on repeat with gluten free noodles or quinoa and half an avocado on top. I also love to add daikon especially this time of year.

  • this soup with some crusty sourdough and maybe an egg on top

  • fiber rich frittata for the vegans or if you just want to add more fiber

  • big pot of beans for the week - love this one + this one + this one.

  • dates stuffed with almonds (or a piece of raw cheese) for snacks or little bean snacks with some kimchi

  • fish w/ steamed veg and sweet potato or maybe this Thai Fish Curry

  • carrot muffins (good breakfast with some eggs or for snacks)

I would really just recommend eliminating alcohol, processed sugar and things in bags or boxes, or things that are fried… focusing more on hydrating stews, soups, and steaming over even roasting. If you are drinking a lot of coffee (especially if it’s not mold free) I recommend cutting back at least, maybe you sub some of your coffee habit with Dandy Blend or Chaga tea as a health boosting alternative. If you eat gluten maybe you take a break or at least sub out a high quality sourdough.

Begin your day with a pinch of sea salt on your tongue and followed by at least 8oz warm lemon water. I like to add liquid silica to mine.

Do some meal and snack planning the weekend before so you set yourself up for success.

While we’re on consumption… I also recommend cutting back on screen time especially in the mornings first thing and evenings AND especially news and any fear based media or TV. If you do watch TV during the reset focus on things that make you laugh, open and expand your mind and inspire you.

Foot baths (with epsom or mustard are very supportive) as well as warm cozy socks!!!

 

hourly invitation (that can change your life and how you feel in your body in a massive way)

If you’re spending chunks of time sitting, consider setting a gentle hourly reminder alarm to stand up and move for 1–3 minutes. You can take any of the practices within This Is The Space but here are some to keep it super simple.

Gentle + Discreet

  • Stand up and roll the feet on the floor (heel → ball → toes) for 30–60 seconds

  • Slow neck circles or figure-8s or eye circles from nervous system portal

  • Shoulder rolls or squeezes with an exhale

  • Gentle spinal wave or circles

  • Jaw release: open the mouth wide, then side to side

  • Ear massage and pulls

Fascia-Focused (quick + effective)

  • Bounce or shake the legs and arms lightly

  • Reach up and side-bend, switch sides

  • Forward fold pulses

  • Calf raises (10–20 reps)

  • Hip circles or slow pelvic tilts

  • Gentle twisting side to side

Nervous System Reset (1–2 minutes)

  • 3–5 physiological sighs (double inhale through the nose, long exhale)

  • Hand on chest + belly, slow breathing while you sway or do golf swings from the One

  • Take a little walk around the room and name 3 things you can see

  • Yawn (real or fake — it still works)

Energy Circulation

  • Rub the hands together, then place them over the low back/kidneys or over your eyes and take a few deep breaths

  • Light tapping on arms, chest, and legs

  • Dead arm twists from the one

  • Ankle circles to support lymph + blood flow

  • Gentle toe scrunching and spreading

  • Neck/vagus massage from Downregulating

It is simple… find little practices you love from fascia classes or the nervous system tools and do it for 1-3 minutes. You could also put on a song and dance it out or do some formless fascia flow.

This can also be a REALLY powerful practice (regardless of how much you sit) if you think your nervous system is primarily marinating in sympathetic states (flight or fight) or freeze/shutdown. It is in the small daily actions not in the big doing something once a week where we really move the needle. <3


eft

I kept this EFT short + sweet to increase the likelihood of daily practice. You can always repeat if you want to go longer. :)

This is a training from inside The Collective connecting the Water element to the Heart/Ego Center. If you are not interested in Human Design or the fluff you can just skip ahead to around minute 40 for getting into specific dietary and practice water element/kidney/winter season support.
