Welcome to Kindred Folk Living
You deserve better than modern life gave you.
I'm Cherise — a woman in the middle of my own unfurling. Nature, nervous system science, and the radical act of finally becoming yourself. This is where I share what's actually working, in real time, from my meadow in upstate New York.
The Unfurling Kit · Now Available
A kit for the woman who has been waiting long enough.
A 54-page digital wellness kit built from lived experience, peer-reviewed research, and the practices that have kept me afloat during one of the hardest seasons of my life. Not a course. Not a program. A beautiful, printable companion for the woman who is finally ready to let herself out.
"For the woman deep in the hard season, the one slowly coming back to herself, and the one who simply knows she deserves more than this."
What's inside — three beautiful PDFs
Why your body does what it does. Nervous system, cortisol, fascia, lymph, infradian rhythm, the cycles that govern everything. Knowledge is permission — when you understand what's happening, you stop thinking you're broken.
Who have you been? Who is she, the one inside? What has been drowning her? Journaling, voice notes, vision work, authenticity, identity. The self-discovery that becomes possible once your nervous system feels safe enough to look.
The body-based practices that bring her back to life. Breathwork, earthing, water rituals, lymphatic movement, slow song practice, animal co-regulation, nature immersion. Simple, free, and rooted in research.
A monthly 90-minute Zoom circle for women doing exactly what you are doing — unfurling, slowly and honestly, together. We open with breathwork, we share where we are, we practice something together, and we leave feeling less alone in it. Small cohorts. Real conversation. No performance required.
First circle coming August 2026 · Capped at 10 women

From Cherise
For years I did everything right — the career, the credentials, the striving. And I ended up exhausted, inflamed, and completely disconnected from the woman I knew I wanted to become. Not broken, not unable. Just buried.
"I am not healed. I am not on the other side. I am in it, right alongside you — using these tools every single day to stay afloat on the hard days and to feel fully alive on the good ones."
I live on three acres in upstate New York in a 200-year-old farmhouse with two wild-hearted kids, a pug named Ealla, two bunnies (Willow and Nugget), and a meadow that has taught me more about healing than any course ever did. Kindred Folk Living is what I built because I needed it, and I think you might too.
A simple, beautiful introduction to how your nervous system works and why it matters — and the first three practices to try today. Free, always.
