How can I release embodied-trauma using movement & meditations?
When temporary relief from medicine or cognitive psycho-therapy isn’t enough for you, Functional Energy Movement™ (FEM) is your opportunity for long-lasting body-centered emotional healing.
Designed for empaths with chronic pain or body-held symptoms from complex trauma, FEM is a movement meditation practice that strengthens your natural inner healing process by harmonizing your mind & body’s relationship.

Why FEM?
For survivors of complex trauma, conventional therapy & medicine can perpetuate feelings of pain and disconnection because traditional modalities separate your mind, body and environment into parts instead of integrating them into a whole; and treat your pathologies instead of supporting your empowerment.
FEM stands apart by not temporarily fixing you. It permanently strengthens your inner healing process with personalized lifestyle practices that root healing deeply into your whole mind & body.
FEM is…
-
You feel conventional therapy or medicine aren’t enough for you
People have made you feel your pain or symptoms are “in your head”
Your trauma is complex, embodied, generational, communal, or institutional
You want to play an active role in your healing
You enjoy being creative, learning and growing
You want support from a community of empaths committed to their inner healing
-
You only want tools and solutions to insta-fix a problem
You don’t want to invest time or energy into your healing
Your healing is motivated by a desire to only free yourself from suffering and not build empowering relationships
You’re not willing to let go of what’s keeping you stuck
You’re not interested in exploring the potential presence of embodied political, environmental and generational trauma
How we heal
The inner healing process is a 5-step sequence your body naturally flows through when recovering from trauma.
When pain, triggers or physical symptoms linger from trauma, this means your inner healing process is blocked, weakened, or suppressed.
To release your embodied trauma, FEM restores your inner healing process using 3 levels of resiliency training designed with both evidence-based therapies and nature-informed modalities.
-
For those who frequently feel disassociated or dysregulated, Level 1 moves you through steps 5, 1 & 2 of the inner healing process (outlined in the above image). We will strengthen your ability to stay balanced, focused and connected, which allows you to then begin being with your pain, triggers or symptoms safely. Level 1 is designed using practices from EMDR, polyvagal theory, medical qi gong, and trauma-informed mindfulness.
-
For those who frequently suppress, numb or fight their pain, trauma or triggers, Level 2 moves you through steps 1, 2 & 3 of your inner healing process (outlined in the above image). We will strengthen your body & mind’s access to healing postures, allowing you to resolve any inner tension and conflict getting in the way of your healing. Level 2 is designed using practices from neuro-plastic pain reprocessing, Generative Somatics™, and Somatic Experiencing™.
-
For those who frequently feel stuck or powerless in their experience with pain, trauma or triggers, Level 3 moves you through steps 3, 4 & 5 of your inner healing process (outlined in the above image). We will nurture your creative expression to integrate your inner healing with your outer world, allowing your life to become an experience of regenerative art. Level 3 is designed using techniques from Neuro-Linguistic Programming™, art therapy, Internal Family Systems™, and natural magic.

FEM’s Teacher
Nicky Mac - healer & somatic therapist, LMT
For over a decade, Nicky Mac has been studying the sciences and practicing the arts of inner healing (i.e medical qi-gong; neuroplastic pain rehab; sports medicine; ayurveda; Somatic Experiencing™; massage therapy; capoeira; Neuro-Linguistic Programming™; esoteric medical aromatherapy; trauma-informed yoga & meditation; sound healing; plant medicine; and ecstatic dance).
His study and practice began as a passionate inquiry, but became a way of life after his brother’s death in 2017 revealed to him the lifetimes of pain and trauma living buried inside him, his family and his environment.
To consolidate the universal principles of inner healing into a single practice for his recovery and growth, Nicky formulated Functional Energy Movement™.
Nicky’s mission with FEM is to empower empaths committed to personal, communal, ancestral and environmental harmony.
