Not Boss Babe. Not Trad Wife.
A Secret Third Thing: A Resourced Woman
She is the woman doing inner child work in between calls, has a stacked supplement cabinet and feels the vision for her life brewing deep in her body - in her womb.
She has arrived at a fork in the road that all women on the healing path find themselves facing:
Fork One: to keep digging deeper into the psychology of things with this approach of making their body figure-outable.
Fork Two: embrace the feminine path of regulation which is a descension into the root of the body - the pelvic bowl. This path lets your body lead the way, and lets your mind take a back seat.
Unshackled is for the women who are choosing Fork Number Two.
Almost all somatic healing + research has been based on male physiology - Unshackled is here to be a space for biological women to take center stage in a physiology-first way.
In Unshackled, you will receive + move through the process of:
-Eight weeks of in-depth embodied education on the female nervous system
-Learning how to unwind and alchemize patterns of chronic shame
-Learning how to embrace somatic shadow work throughout your cycle + life
All so you can land back in the root of your soma so you can walk forward in your life with the soft power that is your birthright as a woman.
“De-shaming!! Dana’s approach and vulnerability with de-shaming allowed me to see and feel this from a new perspective. This was the start of a new level of self-love and acceptance along with a major shift in my nervous system.”
—Danielle D.
What is UNSHACKLED all about?
My intention for you is to experience true AWE and REVERENCE for your female nervous system and female physiology. You are truly a masterpiece of creation with every single cell and system in your body working together constantly to keep you alive and give you somatic breadcrumbs as to how to live FROM your center. I want you to deeply know, understand, and accept yourself. I am here to guide you to meet the true version of yourself that exists when you feel safe and secure, and to show you the joy of being able to prioritize your own self-expression. I want you to feel confident being seen by others because you know they are seeing the true version of you. And in these 8 weeks, I can help you do this.
- Map your shame, discover how different types of shame exist in the body, and learn how shame really affects you.
- Build somatic and situational awareness of shame triggers so you can predict how and when shame will arise.
- Unravel the impact that ‘expert culture’ has had on disconnecting you from your body so you can rebuild a healthy mind + body + emotional connection.
- Deep dive into somatic experiences that center around the pelvic bowl to unwind patterns of numbness + tension in the body
- Explore vulnerability, practice the language & sensations of being safely vulnerable, and learn how to feel safe regardless of the who, what, or where.
- Tune into the experience of feeling safe in your nervous system & learn to use this as a guide for building your authentic identity.
- Join a vibrant community of de-shamers who are dedicated to decoupling from shame and build an authentic, real connection.
“This program helped me get unstuck and free from my shame! It is a comprehensive program where we practice being vulnerable with each other, learn all about the [female] nervous system, and do somatic exercises and even play and dance! Dana moves us through science and spiritual and intellectual embodiment. Dana is an incredible leader, I recommend Unshackled highly! ”
—Justina Shandler
Women Feel & Experience Shame Uniquely
- Women have a more highly attuned SOCIAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, because women had to bond with their baby AND ensure they had protection and support during pregnancy and during postpartum.
Having this more attuned social nervous system allowed them to have a more concrete understanding of their social standing within their tribe, empowering them to adjust their behaviour so they could access the support they need. This is the most primitive form of “people pleasing!”
This is why women are more impacted relationally and the “village” we’re supposed to have is CRITICAL to our regulation and wellbeing as women.
This is also why chronic shame can impact women so intensely, as shame is what we evolved to feel when we are engaging in behaviour that is putting the tribe at risk, moving us towards being abandoned/rejected by our tribe. For women, this intersects with your more highly attuned social nervous system and can imprint deeper into your body - often centering in your pelvic bowl as shame = freeze, and the freeze response is engaged upon by the PNS, which goes lower and deeper into your body throughout the pelvic bowl and diaphragm.
“I highly recommend joining the community as Dana shares a lot of knowledge that is neglected in traditional therapy, but extremely beneficial to healing! By her warm and trustworthy nature she creates an environment in which you feel truly comfortable and seen. I have noticed a lot of improvement thanks to her!”
—Tina.
Meet Dana, Female Nervous System & Somatic Healing Practitioner
Hi! I’m Dana Doswell, and I am living proof that you can be a Resourced Woman in the modern day world.
Dana Doswell is a Nervous System Mentor & Educator that helps women with LLCD (low level chronic dysregulation) shift out of their survival state and embrace their primal & intuitive selves by supporting them through a healing journey of descending back into their body and re-sensitizing themselves to what safe presence feels like. She brings together the study of evolution, somatics, psychology and an unquenchable desire to articulate how true nervous system health merges fields of study that have otherwise been seen as separate. Dana holds certifications in IFS & Somatic Parts work, Applied Polyvagal Theory through Movement, Somatic Attachment Trauma Healing and is currently undergoing in -depth training on the female nervous system and developing a cyclical regulation framework for the female body.
What People Are Saying About
De-shaming with Dana
"I loved the workshop — it really opened my eyes to why I act the way I do. I had a couple of major revelations about my friend groups / certain people and not feeling safe and why. I've done a lot of nervous system work and tons of therapy before but Dana's perspective offered something completely new. I feel very reassured by something Dana said about implementing change and growing at the pace your nervous system can keep up with and realized I've been pushing myself in my personal development journey for too much difference too quickly. I'm excited to work with Dana in a fuller capacity soon."
—Hannah E.
“My healing journey has spanned a decade, with little progress until I came across your TikToks about de-shaming. I had never heard about shame before, and I had a deeply felt realization that shame was not only very present in my body but completely running my life. Before your workbook, everything I sought out about healing shame felt daunting and disconnected from my own experience of shame. Your workbook is straightforward, relatable, and supportive. I could feel the integration happening as I worked through each page. The workshop amplified the integration. Now, I'm less afraid to see my shame, feel it, and dissolve it (I even processed some shame around illness today!) I can feel myself gradually becoming more regulated and more excited about life.”
—Garrett.
