The Priestess Axis: Reorientation to Inner Authority

A Sacral Alchemy™ Workshop

The Priestess Axis is a 1:1 workshop for the woman living at the edge of her own attention. Through life’s slow weathering, steady demands, and traumas that have reshaped her inner world, she’s become internally unanchored – outsourcing her sense of worth, vitality, and power. 

Her body is now oriented toward survival, altered by how she learned to stay intact.

She feels alive only when in response to someone or something else, and yearns for her sense of center to be a place she inhabits, not a state that arrives through contact. A part of her wants to live closer to home, closer to herself.

The Priestess Axis is a focused expression of my Sacral Alchemy™ coaching methodology, in which somatic restoration, archetypal identity, and nervous system reorientation support the reorganization of power through an anchored sacral center.

The Priestess Axis is the internal line a woman lives from, and the organizing center through which her attention, desire, and sense of self are oriented.

In archetypal terms, the “Priestess” represents a woman whose authority comes from inner reference.

She sits at the threshold of her own interior world and governs from within.

Similarly, in the tarot, the High Priestess appears between two pillars – symbolizing the inner axis itself – and guards the boundary between the inner and outer worlds.

Her power is not performative or expressive, but orienting, as she does not move toward life; life organizes around her stillness.

This workshop doesn't work with the Priestess as an identity or role, but as an internal orientation, or a way of living from within rather than reaching outward for regulation, validation, or direction.

When The Priestess Axis Is Intact:

• Desire is felt as a visceral charge, and longing can exist without destabilization or urgency
• Worth is experienced as a bodily state, not a reaction
• life is met from center rather than from reach

When the Priestess Axis is disrupted—often through trauma, prolonged adaptation, or survival-based attunement—a woman may still function at a high level, but her center of reference shifts outward.

Worth becomes conditional, regulation is dependent on external responses, and she starts to locate stability in contact rather than in self-reference.

This workshop is designed to restore and re-establish the Priestess Axis, and help women rediscover a felt, lived alignment inside the body through the sacral center.

Once a woman relocates that line inside her own body again, her sense of self no longer rises and falls in response to someone or something else, and she can begin organizing her inner life from there.

The Priestess Axis Workshop is facilitated through a private, one-on-one Zoom session and combines somatic awareness, nervous system reorientation, and sacral-based embodiment. Through guided somatic inquiry, nervous system tracking, and symbolic integration, you will learn how to restore internal anchoring and reclaim embodied self-trust.

The Priestess Axis is meant to restore your reference point, and may not necessarily produce a complete arc. For some women, this single reorientation is enough to change how they move through their lives. For others, it opens a deeper desire to continue the work through ongoing coaching.

Given the live, private nature of this workshop, participation is by shared alignment.

Before beginning, you’ll be invited to complete a brief intake form and have a short 10-minute connection call. This ensures the workshop is aligned, supportive, and appropriate for where you are right now.

About Me, Your Guide

I’m Bella – a writer, Sacral Alchemy™ coach, and Somatic Developmental Trauma Coach whose work explores feminine consciousness, embodied power, and the restoration of internal orientation.

Through Sacral Alchemy™ – my somatic and archetypal coaching methodology – and offerings such as The Priestess Axis, I guide women back into relationship with their own center: the place where worth, desire, and self-trust live as felt states.

This work is centered on reclaiming an internally anchored sense of self, particularly where trauma, survival-based adaptation, or prolonged over-functioning have pulled a woman away from herself.

My approach blends somatic awareness, nervous system reorientation, archetypal identity, symbolic integration, and ritual into intimate, initiatory spaces designed to restore coherence at the level of the body.

I specialize in working with women who are capable, intelligent, and deeply attuned—yet feel unmoored from themselves—and who are no longer willing to let coping shape the way they move through the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is The Priestess Axis?

This workshop is for women who are capable, intelligent, and deeply attuned, but feel unmoored from themselves. It is especially supportive if you:

•    feel most alive in response to people, intensity, or contact
•    notice your sense of self fluctuates with external circumstances
•    have a history of high responsibility or long-term adaptation
•    want to live from a steadier inner place rather than from coping or vigilance
•    are seeking depth, embodiment, and internal coherence

You won’t become someone new, but you will learn how to return to a place you already know, but no longer live from.

3. What Happens in the Workshop?

The Priestess Axis is a live, one-on-one Zoom session that unfolds as a guided, embodied process. The session blends experiential somatic work with contextual teaching, so you understand what you’re sensing as you feel it.

Depending on what emerges, the session may include:

• somatic awareness and nervous system tracking
• guided attention into the sacral center and inner body
• gentle teaching around internal orientation, nervous system patterns, and the Priestess Axis as an organizing structure
• inquiry through sensation rather than story
• symbolic or imaginal work
• integration practices to support settling and coherence

The session is responsive and relational, not scripted.
There is no performance, disclosure requirement, or “doing it right.”

  
4. Is One Session Enough?

The Priestess Axis is designed as an introductory reorientation rather than a complete therapeutic process.

In this session, we work to restore a felt internal center: a place you can live from rather than reach toward. For some women, this shift is immediately stabilizing and self-sustaining.

For others – especially those with long histories of adaptation, trauma, or over-functioning – this session serves as the beginning of a deeper process. In those cases, ongoing coaching can support further integration, stabilization, and embodiment.

There is no requirement to continue beyond the workshop. If further work feels aligned, we can explore that together after the session.

 
5. Is This Therapy?

No. This workshop is not psychotherapy or clinical treatment.
It is depth-oriented, somatically informed coaching.
In this work:

• We may explore emotions and lived experiences.
• We work with embodiment, perception, meaning, and choice.
• We do not diagnose, treat, or attempt to resolve mental health conditions.

Think of The Priestess Axis as somatic and symbolic coaching – focused on restoring internal organization and lived self-reference – rather than treating pathology.

 

6. What is the Sacral Center (or Sacral Chakra)?

In this work, the sacral center is not treated as a metaphysical concept to believe in, nor as a diagnostic system.

It’s understood as a somatic and energetic region of the body – located in the lower abdomen and pelvis – that functions as a primary site of:

• desire and appetite for life
• pleasure
• emotional truth
• creativity and vitality
• self-valuing as a felt experience

From a nervous system perspective, the sacral center is where aliveness is registered before it becomes a thought or story. It’s usually the first place that tightens, goes quiet, or becomes externally oriented in response to trauma, prolonged stress, or survival-based adaptation.

When the sacral center is anchored and resourced:

• desire is felt without urgency
• pleasure is available without collapse
• worth is sensed internally rather than negotiated
• aliveness circulates within the body instead of searching outward

When it becomes disorganized or externally referenced, a woman may still function well, but her vitality, sense of self, and regulation begin to depend on response, intensity, or contact.

In Sacral Alchemy™, working with the sacral center means helping the body remember itself as a source via guided attention, somatic tracking, and re-inhabitation, instead of effort or affirmation.

This is why the sacral center is central to restoring The Priestess Axis: it’s where worth, desire, and self-trust can once again be lived from the inside.

 

7. Is This About Dating or Relationships?

While this work may indirectly affect how you experience relationships, The Priestess Axis is not a dating or relational workshop.

The focus is on you, and your internal structure, nervous system orientation, and sense of self—regardless of relationship status.

 
8. Is the Session Recorded?

No. Sessions are intentionally not recorded.

This workshop is designed as a live, embodied experience. Recording sessions can subtly pull attention out of the body and into self-monitoring or performance, which works against the depth and integration this work requires.

Instead, you may receive:

• guided reflection prompts
• integration suggestions
• optional written practices

These support embodiment without turning the work into content consumption.

 
9. How Long is the Workshop, and How is it Scheduled?

The Priestess Axis is a single 90-minute private session held live on Zoom.

After purchase, you’ll receive a scheduling link to select a time that works for you. If you are in a different time zone, we’ll coordinate to find a mutually workable option.

 
10. Do I Need to Complete an Intake or Speak with You Before Booking?

Yes. Given that this is a high-touch, private offering, all participants are required to complete a short intake form and have a brief 10-minute connection call before the session. This ensures:

• the work is appropriate for your current capacity
• the container is aligned and supportive
• we are entering the work with clarity and consent

If the workshop is purchased without completing this step, the purchase will be refunded.

11. What is Your Cancellation or Refund Policy?

Since this is a private, one-on-one session that is prepared in advance, all sales are final and non-refundable.

If you need to reschedule, at least 72 hours notice is required.

In the case of a true emergency, we will work together to find a new time as a one-time courtesy. Additional last-minute cancellations or no-shows will result in the session being forfeited. This policy protects the integrity of the workshop and the presence required for this work.
