Is this you?You've tried everything. And you're exhausted.
You've read the books. Followed the protocols. Tried to positive-think your way through flares. Maybe you've even blamed yourself when nothing worked.
Here's what nobody tells you: Your body isn't broken. It's just speaking a language you haven't learned yet.
Six Weeks.
Real Tools.
Lasting Change.
TENDing Foundations is a complete 6-week live, virtual group coaching program where you'll learn the foundational skills for living well with chronic health conditions.
What Makes This Different:
✨ Not another protocol. No 47-step morning routines. No expensive supplements. Just gentle, body-based practices that actually fit into real life.
✨ Science-informed, trauma-aware. Grounded in nervous system regulation, polyvagal theory, and the latest research on chronic conditions—delivered with compassion, not complexity.
✨ Community that gets it. You'll be surrounded by others who understand what it's like to live in a body that needs extra tending. No explanations necessary.
✨ Complete and expandable. TENDing Foundations is a full program on its own. Want to go deeper? An optional 4-week Advanced TENDing expansion is available after completion.
From Surviving to Tending:
Your 6-Week Journey
Thoughtfully crafted to elevate what matters most.
Week 1: Welcome Home (May 12) Come back to your body. Learn to create safety in your nervous system and discover why "fixing" hasn't worked.
Week 2: Understanding Your Nervous System (May 19) Decode what your body is actually telling you. Learn to recognize your nervous system states and why they matter for healing.
Week 3: The Body Scan Practice (May 26) Develop the foundational skill of body awareness. This changes everything.
Week 4: Befriending Your Emotions (June 2) Stop fighting what you feel. Learn to tend to your emotional landscape with curiosity instead of judgment.
Week 5: Daily Tending Practices (June 9) Build sustainable micro-practices (5 minutes, not 5 hours) that support regulation and wellbeing.
Week 6: Integration & Your Path Forward (June 16) Anchor what you've learned and celebrate how far you've come. Plus, learn about the optional Advanced TENDing expansion if you want to deepen your practice.
This Is For You If...
You're living with a chronic health condition and you're tired of:
Protocols that promise miracles but leave you more depleted

You're ready to:
Learn what your nervous system is trying to tell you
Develop compassionate daily practices that actually help
Stop fighting your body and start listening to it
Be part of a community that truly understands

This April cohort is the first official run of TENDing Foundations. Our beta participants helped shape this program into what it is today, and now you have the opportunity to join at a founding member rate.
After this cohort, the program will be offered at its standard investment of $2,997. By joining now, you're not only saving $1,700—you're becoming part of the foundation of this work. Your experience and feedback will continue to refine and deepen the TENDing Method for everyone who follows.

Meet Your Guide
Hi, I'm Michele.
I created the TENDing Method because I lived what you're living. I know what it's like to wake up and immediately assess: How bad is it today? What can I actually do? What do I need to cancel?
I also know what becomes possible when you stop trying to fix your body and start learning to tend to it.
This work changed my life. And after our beta cohort, I watched it change others' lives too. This April cohort is the first official run of TENDing Foundations, refined and deepened based on what we learned together in beta.
I can't wait to welcome you home to your body.
