Preventive healthcare wrapped in romance, softness, slow and companionship.
Soft Something is a wellness, living and care design house.
We develop and engineer systems that soften the in-between..the spaces between health and healing, between care and connection, between who we are and who we are becoming.
Our work lives at the intersection of nervous system science, relational wellbeing, and the longevity of human care. Every offering, every class, cohort, session, and space is inspired by and rooted in the evidence-based practices of doula and birth work. The most physiologically and emotionally demanding experience a body can move through taught us everything we know about what it means to truly hold a person.
We brought those lessons out of birth work and into every room.

Hi baby.
If you’re reading this it means you want to learn more about me. For that I thank you for finding yourself here. You could be anywhere..I hope so far things have been soft on you.
Soft things mean much to me. Because I mostly lived my life on the other side of things. I coined myself a “healing Type A.” I was once the person who took planning very seriously ..hard work and long hours as a way of living. Until I reached a point in my life where I couldn’t show up on time, where no matter how hard I worked things weren’t working out, and no matter how long I overstayed things still fell apart.
I am writing this as a mom of two, a wife, a divorcee, a sister, a daughter, a niece, a friend, a student, a doula and I guess yeah, a founder. I list those things because they are all part of the silk that helps me tie the bow to why you are here reading what I’ve written.
Through my own lived life, through my work, through my education, and through the witnessing in every title and role I find myself in daily …I’ve learned the anatomic, mental, relational, systemic, biological and personal consequences of what happens when you don’t soften. When you don’t have the soft landings. When you don’t have the soft somethings. When you don’t know how to be soft with yourself, your loved one, your community. And when things aren’t soft on you.
Soft here is simple and utterly complicated. But it is our North Star. Because just like in the somatic practice of birth work ..where we cue someone to “soften the eyebrows” to bring awareness to the entire body … softening is a technique used to support the nervous system, the brain, the body, and the spirit in the hallway between life and death. I bring it here because the consequence of living in this world without softness has not one positive health outcome. This is preventive healthcare — wrapped in romance, softness, and slow.
In the veil of it all, I am designing and engineering a world that will ultimately support me being here long enough to witness my children’s children’s hair turn grey.. living healthily, fine, happily, and whole. In a world designed to support that truth. And I want people to know how to do the same.
I want us both, you and I.. here… very long, very soft, very fine and in the in-betweens with humanity and companionship.
I hope to meet you soon, my friend. On the softest side of things.
Welcome home.
