start here.
three weeks to come home to your nervous system.
Three weeks, at your own pace. Short teachings, practices you can come back to, and a daily breath journal that moves with you. We start with your breath, learn to keep it while you move, and stay with it while you feel. Your system already knows how. We are just bringing it back to you.
you are doing a lot. your body is keeping score.
These are the things we hear on almost every nervous system mapping call. Relatable?
- You sleep, but it does not hold. You are awake at 3am for no reason you can name.
- Your mind loops. The same worry, the same replay, on a track you did not choose.
- You are calm on the outside and wired underneath, and the two never seem to meet.
- You have done the therapy, the supplements, the breathing apps. You know the theory. Your body did not get the memo.
Nothing is wrong with you. Your system learned something, and it has been running on input it cannot use. Start Here is where you learn to feel what is happening inside you, and what to do about it, in real time.
we start at the foundation.
We have now sat with hundreds of people. Over 800 women across coaching, retreats, and workshops. And the same thing comes up almost every time. Sleep that will not hold. A mind that loops. A body that braces before the day even starts.
Most of them arrive having tried a lot already. Therapy. Medication. The breathing apps. The books. They understand their nervous system on paper. They still feel stuck.
Here is what we learned. You cannot think your way back to a regulated body. You have to begin where the body begins. With breath. With awareness. The body first, not the body eventually.
That is what Start Here is. The first effective steps, in the order that actually works, drawn from everything those hundreds of people taught us.
Loes and Hanna. We hold the work together. Loes brings EMDR, hypnotherapy, and the deeper patterns. Hanna brings the somatic, body, breath, and movement. Science and soul, in one room.
breath is the constant.
The whole program is based on breath. Yes, we are all breathing, but most of us are not really breathing. First you create space for your breath, to really find it. Then you learn to keep it while you move. Then you stay with it while you feel. Each week builds on the last.
awareness
open it when you are ready
Find your breath.
We start with your nervous system. Why it matters in relation to your breath, and how to work with your breath to regulate. You meet your breath, the muscles that move it, and the tools that bring you back to yourself. This is where the first week of teachings and practice sits.
Journal this week: notice your breath. Where it lives, when it disappears, what it is like to simply watch it.
breath in movement
opens after week one
Keep it while you move.
What felt easy, what felt hard, what surprised you. Then we learn to stay with the breath while the body is moving, instead of holding it the second things pick up. The practice this week is a moving breath journey, breath and body together.
Journal this week: breath in movement. What happens to your breath when you walk, reach, rush, slow down.
feeling and breath
opens after week two
Stay with it while you feel.
We notice the body and what moves inside it. Where the breath goes when feeling arrives. Holding, and letting be. The practice is soft: letting feelings be there with a soft breath. We close by bringing all three weeks together, reflecting, and looking at where this is still hard for you.
Journal this week: feeling and breath. What you notice when you stop bracing and let the breath stay soft.
Every video in the course is the two of us, teaching you directly. Hanna holds the body side: movement, breath, the somatic work. Loes holds the mind: psychology, EMDR, hypnotherapy. Together we built Start Here the way we coach, slow and steady, so your system learns to trust.
three weeks, lesson for lesson.
Twenty four short videos and guided audio practices, all freshly recorded by Loes and Hanna. A handful each week, none of them long, and a breath journal underneath it all. This is the whole course, nothing hidden.
week one
find your breath
Most of us are breathing without ever really finding the breath. Week one is about finding it: where it sits, when it disappears, and what it is like to simply watch it.
- Welcome to Start Here
- Two states: settled and on guard
- Why the breath
- Finding your breath (guided practice)
- Where your breath lives
- Remembering is the practice
- The stress loop
- Why we hold our breath
- Moving with the breath (guided practice)
week two
keep it while you move
The breath leaves the cushion and comes with you into a body in motion. You feel for yourself where the breath drops out when life speeds up, and you learn to keep it with you.
- Keep it while you move
- Your system automates what you repeat
- Walking with the breath (guided practice)
- The energy leak
- One system: muscles, focus, breath
- Soften one place (guided practice)
- The power of a pause, and your three transitions
- Breathing while talking (guided practice)
week three
stay with it while you feel
The week the breath meets your feelings. You learn why the body braces, how to soften it, and how to stay in your body while something real is moving through it.
- Stay with it while you feel
- Why the body braces
- Focus and breath, sitting still (guided practice)
- Building the trust
- Focus and breath, in movement (guided practice)
- Staying with the feeling (guided practice)
- Coming back to your body (guided practice)
Every video and practice stays yours after the three weeks, so you can come back to any of them on the loud days. The 21 day breath journal runs alongside, one short prompt a day.
a real look inside.
Not a trailer. These are two pieces of the actual course: the welcome that opens week one, and the first guided practice. If they land in your body, the rest of the course will too.

finding your breath
The practice the whole course builds on. You settle in, find where your breath actually sits in your body, and simply watch it for a few minutes without changing anything. Try it now, exactly as it is on day one.
Lovely first thing in the morning. In week one, noticing is already the result.
everything you need to build a foundation.
three weeks of teaching
Short videos from Loes and Hanna, a handful each week. Watch one with your coffee. They stay yours, so you can come back to any of them whenever you need it.
practices you can keep
Guided audio practices, the kind you actually return to: finding your breath, moving with it, staying with what you feel. Yours for as long as you want them.
a daily breath journal
A 21 day breath journal with a short prompt each day. It is how the work stays with you between the teachings.
the Mini Coach beside you
The RYME Mini Coach walks the three weeks with you inside the app. It knows the course, it remembers what you tell it, and it answers whenever you open it, on the loud days especially.
an easy journey home to yourself.
Two ways through: a little each day, or the whole week opened at once. You choose when you begin, and you can switch whenever you like.
- 01
join whenever you like
There are no dates to make and no seats to fill. You pay today and the course is yours.
- 02
check your inbox
A welcome email arrives right away with a link to set your password. That is your login to the RYME app, on your phone or your desktop, the same either way.
- 03
press begin when you are ready
Week one opens the moment you begin, not a day sooner. If life gets loud the week you join, begin next week instead. Nothing expires.
- 04
choose your pace
A little each day, or the whole week opened at once. You can switch whenever you like, and missing a day loses nothing.
you are not doing this alone
The RYME Mini Coach comes with the course. It lives inside the app, it knows every week and every practice, and it remembers what you tell it. Stuck on day four, wobbly after a practice, proud of something small: open it and say so. It answers, and it walks the three weeks with you.
Included with the course. Nothing extra to buy, nothing to cancel.
what working with us does.
Start Here teaches the same foundation we build with every coaching client and on every retreat. These are real five star Google reviews from women who did that work with us.
“Session one I discovered I was not breathing properly, now I can do the deepest breath work and I’ve set time for this regularly.”
“I experienced so much more healing and growth in just my first 6 months of working with them than I did in years of therapy.”
“I am able to notice the first signs of it happening and work through it in a healthy, natural way, such that it never solidifies in my body.”
a few things people ask.
do i need to be flexible or fit?+
No. The movement is gentle and the breath work meets you where you are. This is about feeling your body, not performing for it.
when does it start?+
Whenever you press begin. There are no dates to make and no cohort to catch. Join today and start tonight, or next month. The course does not expire.
how much time does it take?+
A few short videos a week and a few minutes a day with your breath journal. It is short on purpose. It is meant to fit a real life, and missing a day loses nothing.
is this therapy?+
No. This is a somatic course you practice in your own body. If you are working with a therapist, this sits alongside that, not on top of it.
am i doing this on my own?+
At your own pace, yes. Alone, no. The RYME Mini Coach comes with the course: a companion inside the app that knows every week and every practice, remembers what you tell it, and answers whenever you open it. Stuck, wobbly, or quietly proud of something small, you always have somewhere to say it.
what happens after the three weeks?+
You will know your breath in a way you did not before. For some of you, a question opens about where this is still hard. That is where coaching begins, and we will show you the door if you want it.
what happens after i pay?+
