About Sanctum & Soil

Sanctum & Soil is a space for remembering what is already within you.
Here, healing is not about fixing anyone; it is about listening to the body, honoring its wisdom, and allowing the slow, layered process of integration to unfold.

Sanctum & Soil was born at the sacred intersection of survival, heartbreak, and hope. As a cancer survivor, a mother, and a woman healing from broken love, I know intimately what it means to live with pain, and what it means to choose presence still.

For years, I resisted my body’s rhythms, disconnecting from its signals in order to meet the expectations of others and the imagined expectations I gave myself. But in returning to breath, to movement, and to the slow language of the body, I began to reclaim a sense of belonging. This is the space I now offer others.

My care is sacred because I believe each body, each story, each person is inherently worthy of reverence. To me, being steady means showing up to your one precious life with intention and choice, not perfection. This is holy ground, the soil of our growth.

My work is supported by both lived experience and continued education in applied behavioral science, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed, body-based practices.

I am especially committed to walking alongside teens and trauma survivors, and I am currently developing a peer-led suicide prevention initiative to reach those who feel most lost. Clients describe my approach as deeply attuned: I take time to understand your goals, support your self-defined growth, and gently reflect when you are not showing up for the life you say you want.

Meet Anique

Hi, I’m Anique — founder of Sanctum & Soil.

I am a trauma-informed wellness practitioner, Qualified Behavioral Health Assistant, wellness coach, and Neuromuscular Trigger Point Therapist passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves through compassionate, body-based healing practices.

My work lives at the intersection of nervous system education, behavioral health, somatic awareness, mindfulness, movement, and therapeutic bodywork. Through coaching, yoga, workshops, retreats, and wellness education, I support people navigating stress, trauma, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions with approaches that honor the whole person, not just symptoms.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Applied Behavioral Science with honors in 2026 and have continued to expand my work through trauma-informed care training, recovery support education, yoga, mindfulness, and embodied healing practices. Alongside my private wellness work through Sanctum & Soil, I work as a Care Coordinator and Wellness Coach with Somatic Solutions Counseling and collaborate with The Body-Based Mindfulness Center to support wellness programming, yoga, mindfulness education, and community-centered care. I have also worked as a Neuromuscular Trigger Point Therapist at Springs Medical Massage since 2020.

At the core of my work is a belief that healing is not linear; it’s layered.

I know firsthand that healing often asks us to slow down, listen differently, reconnect with our bodies, and approach ourselves with more curiosity and compassion than criticism. My goal is not to “fix” people, but to help create spaces where they feel safe enough to reconnect with their own capacity for healing, resilience, and wholeness.

Whether you find yourself here through coaching, yoga, retreats, workshops, or simply curiosity, I hope this space feels like an invitation to exhale a little deeper and come home to yourself.

Rooting for your growth,
Anique
