How do we heal the physical impact of stress using meditation?
When superficial quick-fixes from fitness, therapy, or medicine aren’t enough, deep long-lasting relief for your mind & body can be yours with Functional Energy Movement™ (FEM).
For people who hold stress or trauma in their bodies, FEM is a meditation practice that helps your mind and body cooperate by strengthening your inner healing process when you’ve been told, “It’s all in your head.”
Testimonials
Why FEM?
When we have a stress or trauma-induced pain, illness, or disorder, conventional treatments can perpetuate our suffering by treating our bodies & minds as disjointed parts instead of fortifying them as a whole.
FEM stands apart by empowering our inner healing process and boosting our overall health through sustainable wellness practices rather than temporarily relieving symptoms.
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 natural five-step sequence our bodies move through when recovering from trauma or prolonged stress.
If we’re impacted by trauma or stress for more than three months, and physical symptoms and pains have arisen, then our inner healing process has become blocked, weakened, or suppressed.
Functional Energy Movement (FEM) helps restore our inner healing process with 3 Levels of Resiliency Training. These levels combine evidence-based therapies with nature-informed practices to release embodied stress and trauma while also strengthening our ability to withstand future challenges.
-
For those who frequently feel overwhelmed by their pain, 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 with yourself, allowing you to be with your pain, triggers or symptoms compassionately and curiously. 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, Level 2 moves you through steps 1, 2 & 3 of your inner healing process (outlined in the above image). We will strengthen your body & brain’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, Level 3 moves you through steps 3, 4 & 5 of your inner healing process (outlined in the above image). We will begin the integration of your inner healing with your outer world by you creatively expressing yourself and allowing life to be 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 composed “Functional Energy Movement™”.
Nicky’s mission with FEM is to empower empaths committed to personal, communal, ancestral, and environmental harmony.
