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
Sanctum & Soil began with a quiet shift, a decision to turn toward healing when pain had narrowed what I thought was possible. I created this space to share the practices that helped me reconnect: trauma awareness, nervous system education, and embodied mindfulness.
Every offering comes from both lived experience and deep care. I don’t promise a “fix.” What I offer is a steady, gentle space for others to remember their way home.
I am Anique, and I’m honored you are here.
I am a 200-hour Yoga Teacher, Licensed Neuromuscular Trigger Point Massage Therapist, C-CAR Certified Recovery Coach, and a Qualified Behavioral Health Assistant. I hold a B.A. in Applied Behavioral Science and continue to expand my education to support this work.
I am certified in Mental Health First Aid, currently enrolled in ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training), and participating in Dr. Arielle Schwartz’s Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery certification, which integrates somatic, movement-based, and polyvagal-informed approaches.
I have four years of experience working in a trauma-informed environment at The Body Based Mindfulness Center, where I’ve led trauma-sensitive yoga, breathwork, and pranayama classes, and facilitated workshops on mindfulness for anxiety, depression, and nervous system regulation.
I live in Colorado with two very opinionated cats. I’m a mom of three and recently became a grandmother, roles that have deepened my capacity for presence and compassion, and continue to shape the way I show up in this work. Outside of sessions, you’ll often find me practicing mindfulness, yoga, hiking, journaling, or studying something new about how our bodies function.
