Welcome to Sanctum & Soil
This space was created from my own journey through physical pain, healing, and self-discovery. I don't have all the answers - but I believe that you do.
Sanctum & Soil is where nervous system science meets embodied presence. Here, you will find tools, practices, and reflections to support your healing - in your own time, and in your own way.
I am Anique - a retreat speaker, neuromuscular trigger-point massage therapist, qualified behavioral health assistant, and yoga teacher. I am here to share what has helped me, and to offer a space where you can reconnect with yourself without pressure, without performance.
I am so glad you are here.
Information
Sanctum & Soil is not a studio or a center, it is a philosophy, and a way of becoming. Sanctum & Soil is a space I created to share the tools, insights, and practices that have supported my healing and the healing of those I work with.
As a speaker and practitioner, I focus on nervous system education, mindfulness, and embodied wellness. Whether I am guiding a retreat, teaching breathwork, or speaking on emotional resilience, my goal is always to invite people back into relationship with themselves through presence, safety, and self-trust.
This isn't about fixing anyone. It's about remembering who we are underneath the overwhelm. If you are looking for a speaker or facilitator who weaves real science with deep presence, you're in the right place.
Ways We Can Work Together
Retreat Speaking & Facilitation
I offer rooted, embodied teaching at retreats and events - an invitation to return to yourself, with tools you can carry forward long after the circle closes.
Nervous System Education
Through stories and science, I guide you into deeper understanding of your body's wisdom so you can meet yourself with compassion and connection, not correction.
Guided Breathwork & Mindfulness
Breath by breath, moment by moment, I offer gentle practices that help you remember that healing doesn't come from someone else. It comes from within yourself.
Wellness Resources
Here you will find soft, steady tools with short reflections, grounding practices, and invitations to listen inward. Not to fix, but to trust yourself more deeply.
About Me
Sanctum & Soil began with a quiet shift, a decision to turn toward healing when pain had narrowed what I thought was possible. I created this space to share the practices that helped me reconnect trauma awareness, nervous system education, and embodied mindfulness.
Every offering comes from both lived experience and deep care. I don't promise a "fix". I offer space, gentle and steady space, for others to remember their way home.
I am Anique, and I'm honored you are here.
I am a 200 - hour Yoga Teacher, Certified Neuromuscular Trigger Point Massage Therapist, C-CAR Certified Recovery Coach, and a Qualified Behavioral Health Assistant. I'm currently completing my B.A. in Applied Behavioral Science (expected Spring of 2026) and have four years' experience working in a trauma-informed environment at The Body Based Mindfulness Center. There, I have led trauma-sensitive yoga, breathwork and pranayama classes, and facilitated workshops on mindfulness for anxiety, depression, and nervous system regulation.
I live in Colorado with my two very opinionated cats, and I am a mom of three and have a became a grandmother recently. Motherhood has deepened my capacity for presence and compassion and continues to inform the way I show up in this work. Outside of sessions, you will find me hiking, journaling, or learning something new about how our bodies function.
