finding medicine in creative expression
simillimum (si-mil'i-mÅm): the most similar remedy in a given case, which covers all the totality of the symptoms and promotes cure.
"I can connect with myself quickly and deeply. I am listening and holding space for myself in ways that I never have. I now relate to my symptoms and my body in a way that brings ease and healing rather than stagnation and suffering."
-BC
If you've done "everything right" and still have symptoms, this is the place for you.
You've done everything you were supposed to. The detoxes, the supplements, the lab tests, the re-processing, the energy work, the homeopathy - all of it.
You’ve followed the experts, searched for the magic bullet, you've tried to force your body into healing.
​
And yet, the symptoms remain (or worse, multiply).
​
You're exhausted. Confused. Pretty over it tbh.
​
I've been there - I did the detoxes and diets, I chased remedies and cures. But the thing that was missing wasn't anywhere out there. No, the thing that needed to heal was beneath the symptoms: it was my relationship with myself.
​
When I finally stepped back and started to take my life into my own hands and face the stories that were no longer working for me, I was able to see what I truly needed. That's when my health started to change.
​
Just like me, there's a part of you that knows exactly what you need in order to heal - and in order to tap into it, you have to be able to see it and relate to it with an open mind.
​
"I feel like I understand my body and symptoms so much more."
​​​
Underneath the doubt, confusion, and myriad of symptoms, is your Vital Force; the energy that enlivens you.
​
Your Vital Force uses your symptoms to do a few things:
​
1. Meet your needs (the way hunger reminds you to eat)
2. Adapt to threat (the way adrenaline gets you moving)
3. Regain balance after threat (the way you get tired after exertion)
​
Ultimately, to keep you alive.
​
When a threat is perceived to be prolonged, the healing process isn't allowed to complete, or needs are denied, symptoms persist and we call them "chronic dis-ease". Then we blame the body for "malfunctioning".
​
But your body isn't broken or confused.
​
It's responding appropriately to your life experience - whether its a present day threat or a remembered one.​
The real problem?
There's a chasm of disconnect between you and your vital force and it's causing you to work against the very essence that is trying to heal you.
​
If you find yourself:
​
-
Searching outside of yourself for solutions
-
Fearing your symptoms
-
Believing your body is failing you
-
Not able to see the deeper purpose behind your symptoms
-
Seeing your symptoms as a checklist of things to fix
-
Feeling overwhelmed by all the approaches to healing
​
Then it’s time to bridge that gap. It’s time to listen, to reconnect, to work with your body instead of against it. That’s exactly what Becoming the Similimum is here to guide you through.
After Similimum you'll...
​​​
-
Understand your symptoms in a new way – No longer fear or fight them, but see them as messengers guiding you toward deeper healing.
-
Feel deeply connected to your body and vital force – Learn to listen, trust, and respond to your body with compassion rather than frustration.
-
Shift from seeking external answers to knowing you are the remedy – Develop confidence in your own inner wisdom and healing process and more clarity on what external supports you need
-
Have a supportive framework for navigating your healing journey – Gain a new perspective on working with your symptoms, plus new tools for how to engage with them.
"I've realized through this course that nothing is outside of me - I am the remedy; I am what I need, and I can trust myself and my body."

The Program
​
Becoming the Similimum follows a simple but intentional format that guides you back to your body, one prompt at a time.
Using carefully crafted journalling prompts and lessons that provoke new perspectives, you’ll have space to dig into your stories and beliefs around healing.
The magic of BTS exists within the group, too. Structured opportunities to share open the door to seeing the common humanity in chronic dis-ease, a deep reminder that you’re not alone.
This process will evoke “aha moments” each week where your pen will reveal new insights around the purpose of your symptoms, your unmet needs, and what your body is truly needing to heal.​
​
You'll learn about yourself, your needs, and the messages behind your most persistent symptoms.​ You'll gain compassion and curiosity for yourself and open up new doorways for deeper healing.
​
And then, instead of looking for cures outside of yourself, you'll harness the potency of the medicine that's been within you all along - you'll become the similimum.

"I have taken many courses along my own healing journey and this was, by far, one of my favorites; the smaller, intimate group setting, the ability to connect with what-is in real time via the prompts, along with the openness and willingness to share (of the participants)...made it feel like a safe environment to heal in!"
