Finding Steady
Understand your patterns. Learn to work with your physiology. Build greater capacity for calm, connection, and choice.
A 4 week Nervous System Regulation Group for Women
Maybe you know all the coping skills. You understand your patterns. You’ve done the therapy, read the books, and tried to think your way into feeling better.
But your body still seems to have a mind of its own.
You get overwhelmed more easily than you’d like. You shut down, overthink, stay busy, disconnect, people-please, or feel like you’re always bracing for the next thing.
Finding Steady is a four-week experiential group designed to help you understand what your nervous system is doing—and learn how to work with it rather than against it.
Through nervous system education, guided somatic practices, reflection, and connection with other women, you'll begin noticing your own patterns with more curiosity and less judgment.
You’ll learn practical ways to support your nervous system in moments of anxiety, overwhelm, shutdown, and stress—while building greater capacity to stay present, connected, and grounded in your everyday life.
For women who are tired of holding it all together and are ready to move from surviving to feeling more grounded and alive.

How to recognize what your body needs in the moment
Somatic practices for working with anxiety, overwhelm, and disconnection
How to expand your capacity for emotion without becoming overwhelmed by it

Meet the Facilitators
Owner & Clinical Director, Good Life Counseling
Sarah Walters, LPC-S
Sarah is a licensed therapist and clinical supervisor whose work integrates somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, parts work, and a deeply relational approach.
But this work is also deeply personal to her. As someone who has navigated her own anxiety while raising three daughters and managing the demands of work, family, and everyday life, Sarah doesn’t just teach these practices—she uses them.
The tools she brings into the therapy room and into Finding Steady are many of the same practices she returns to in her own life. Learning to understand and work with her nervous system has been transformative in the way she experiences stress, relationships, motherhood, and herself.
Sarah created Finding Steady to share what she believes so many women are missing: not another way to manage or push through, but a deeper understanding of what is happening inside of them—and practical ways to meet themselves there.
Nikki Klinglesmith, MA, LPC Associate
Nikki brings warmth, joy, and an incredibly grounding presence to the work she does. Before earning her master’s degree and becoming a therapist, she spent years walking alongside college students through Young Life—an experience that helped shape the deeply relational way she connects with people today.
Nikki has a natural ability to make people feel seen, welcomed, and at ease. She approaches people with genuine curiosity and compassion and has an intuitive sense for what may be happening beneath the surface. Simply put, Nikki is a safe person to be with—and brings a lightness and joy into spaces that makes deeper work feel a little less intimidating.
In her clinical work, Nikki has increasingly integrated somatic and nervous system-based practices, helping clients move beyond simply talking about what they are experiencing to noticing and working with what is happening in the body.
As a co-facilitator of Finding Steady, Nikki brings together that relational warmth, clinical perspective, and embodied approach to create a space where women can slow down, connect, experiment, and learn what helps them feel more grounded in themselves.
