Boundaries are completely natural and organic.

When we are born, we know what feels right and feels wrong.

But as we grow up, we often have to prioritize belonging — to our family, community, or system — over staying true to ourselves. At that time, it’s necessary for survival.

Over the years, though, this need for belonging can leave us with little space to develop our own inner compass — the internal “yes” and “no” that guide our choices.

The consequences can be painful.

We begin to lose the ability to care for ourselves well, because we no longer feel what’s right or wrong for us.

The result? You might find yourself:

  • Using boundaries as walls to shut people out when they hurt or disappoint you

  • Giving more than you actually have to offer

  • Feeling selfish whenever you want to do things your way

  • Crushed by the guilt of not being the “good daughter/son/wife/husband/…” society expects

  • Speechless when things don’t go as planned

  • Avoiding dating, difficult conversations, or even replying to messages

  • Unable to make changes — because deep down, you know change means setting and holding boundaries, and that feels scary

In the first part of the workshop, we’ll explore:

  • What it really means when we say: “Boundaries are not walls, but the place where I can love you and myself at the same time”

  • How boundaries protect your values and needs

  • Why boundaries are essential for deep, meaningful connection

  • How healthy anger supports healthy boundaries

  • How events can shape (or distort) your relationship to boundaries

In the 2nd part of the workshop, we’ll experience:

  • Tuning into and identifying your needs

  • Practicing how to ask for what you need

  • Noticing the patterns that show up when your needs go unmet

  • Building the capacity to say “no”

Hi! I’m Felicia

“I grew up in a family where there was no space for emotions. Very quickly, I disconnected from my needs and started functioning.

As an adult, in a professional setting, I had no problem setting clear boundaries—because it was all about getting the work done. But when it came to personal relationships, especially with people who made me feel loved, I would cross my own boundaries again and again, just to avoid letting them down.

Over time, though, this dynamic builds resentment. One day, the volcano erupts: a massive conflict, exhaustion, the spark is gone, or chronic pain sets in.

Understanding two key aspects changed everything for me:

  1. First, I came to understand that the collective experiences in my family lineage—what I grew up seeing as normal—have shaped my understanding of healthy boundaries.

  2. Second, I realized that my early life experiences, in which I often chose to cross my own boundaries in order to belong, continue to influence how I relate to and uphold my boundaries today, if left unintegrated.

  3. Third, I learned that boundaries live in the body, not in the mind. The deeper question is: Do I feel loved and seen by myself for who I truly am? Only then can I trust myself to stand up for my own needs and honor my boundaries.

This shift transformed how I live. And it’s this gift that I now offer to you.”
