But you and I both know how hard that is…
But you fear they will doubt you. Criticize you. Shame you. They project, side-eye, and talk shit.
For as long as you can remember, your authenticity - your muchness - has been a problem.
And while you can go it alone and have, it’s lonely… and all that projection fucking hurts.
The FORTRESS is the sacred place where we get to practice shame alchemy— turning internalized shame into power and presence— as we play, hoot, holler, celebrate & support one another to let life be good inside the soul-walls of a sacred sanctuary, designed to hold you, not confine or change you.
In The Fortress, we embody unconditional positive regard, celebration, & shamelessness as our group energy.
You don’t have to shrink.
You don’t have to mask.
You don’t have to tiptoe, tame yourself, or care-take anyone’s comfort.
In The FORTRESS your radiance will be regarded.
Your intelligence, celebrated.
Your muchness, wanted.
Your tender heart, protected.
Your sparkly self, reflected back.
Your ambition, amplified.
Relate? You’re not alone—and in The Fortress, you’ll be deeply seen, celebrated, and held.
A lifetime of pretending, fixing and trying to fit in was in fact, boring as hell
Their old threat responses had them masking & hiding, trying to protect them from rejection or being shamed - but they are ready to bloom!
Their past healers simply didn’t have the range to hold all their muchness
A highly-sensitive, intuitive & gifted young one, waiting for the inner adult to bring them back to life
A playful, sassy radiance that wants to be celebrated, mirrored in goodness & appreciated
Shame of their fullness, aliveness & power
A tender heart, not wanting to make anyone jealous, feel inferior or less than
Early messaging that their Truth, Essence and True Self was bad, sinful or wrong
They are SICK of hearing from “healers” that this work has to be sooooo hard and lonely (Healing can be FUN & you literally cannot do this shit alone).
They are healthier, more well, & further along than their shame wants them to believe
A history of bullying, lack of belonging & pain resulting in lack of boundaries, diminishment & people-pleasing
Repressed anger that their FULL, AUTHENTIC SELF wasn’t welcomed or celebrated
Finding safety in my Sacred Heart…
Over the last decade, I’ve come out again and again—each time shedding a layer, wandering lost, searching for my people… searching for myself.
Early imprints of un-belonging, gaslighting, and abuse distorted my self-perception. Humiliation clung to me like a second skin.
I lived closeted (in more ways than one) for many years.
For protection, I hid my Truth & I wore masks to get by.
I pretended—offering the world only a diluted version of my brilliance, hoping it would be enough to keep me safe.
Over the years, I slowly liberated myself: I came out, discovered my neurodivergence, untethered myself from harm and created boundaries…
I was riddled with shame, trying desperately to fix & improve myself.
Despite being out, queer and in love, I watched these shame-based “fixing” patterns slowly implode the life & relationship I thought I wanted.
It took this all time low to show me the depths of shame that were keeping heart closed, my Essence hidden & much muchness tamed.
Soon after my painful breakup, I was invited to an intimate ritual with dancing & the claiming of my heart’s desire. It was just the medicine my broken, closed heart needed.
I became enamored with the well of my own Sacred Heart, & obsessed with removing the layers of shame that kept my best parts hidden away under a protective mask.
I fantasized about sitting in circle with fellow women, queer & neurodivergent folks, worshiping life together. We would be dancing, celebrating one another and living the goodness; expressing our innocence boldly.
I devoted myself to living this into being privately, in the FORTRESS of my own heart & life.
I began to see that orienting myself to the life I desired: one of goodness, ease and liberation.
I began to grieve as layers of shame melted away.
Where there was gaslighting and abuse—now, clarity and Truth.
Where there was shame and humiliation—now, liberation and expression.
Where there was loneliness—now, intimacy and communion.
Where there was fear and stuckness—now, I dance with life.
Where there was masking and diminishment—now, safety in being my Full Self.
Where there was fragmentation—now, wholeness.
Where there was codependency—now, I belong to myself so I can belong with you.
This transformation wasn’t inevitable. It was hard-won…
I had to learn how to:
Guard the emerging goodness within me.
Trust my power, and protect my Truth.
Honor my heart as sacred and good.
Call in a community that could celebrate my muchness.
Give myself full permission to shine.
Grieve all I had lost, and rage for what I deserved.
Become the adult I’d been waiting for.
See myself clearly, no matter who disapproved.
Let my body move at her own pace, and stop overriding her wisdom.
It took time.
It took support.
It took (the right) community.
This is not work that can be done quickly, alone, by reading a book or doing a self-healing course.
Inside, you’ll be invited to go after what you want, dance with life, and express your Full Self in communion with others who see and celebrate you.
This isn’t just a “program.”
It’s a sanctuary.
A remembering.
A return.
To your people.
To your Truth.
To Spirit.
Here’s the TLDR:
The Fortress is a 12-month, live online program weaving premiere somatic education, monthly ritual, coaching, and community—for those ready to alchemize shame without the exhausting self-help grind.
It’s a sacred space to come out of hiding.
To be seen, mirrored, received, and deeply regarded.
A space that will never shame you for being fully, gloriously YOU.

“This work with Madison has allowed me to drop into my internal wisdom for healing and wholeness. The gentleness and spaciousness of the process has allowed hidden and shamed parts of me to emerge to the surface and bloom in their own time. I have built a secure foundation for my desires to be planted internally and to grow at a sustainable pace rather than huge expansions and then collapsing into shame.”
Lauren S.
“Madison has helped me feel more centered and grounded in my own truth and feel less shame sharing that with others, no matter their thoughts or opinions. I have so much more freedom to be me in my life, business, and relationships.”
Kim K.
“I feel like I’ve gone through a metamorphosis. After being conditioned by trauma, I was kind of stuck in survival mode but not anymore. Madison provides a safe space to feel and then heal from the shame and guilt that eats at you from the inside out. She taught me how to get back in sync with my body and move through the emotions, triggers, and flashbacks that can come crashing in sometimes. I used to go through life numbing out and dissociating when things got hard. After working with Madison, I’ve learned to reconnect my mind and body, listen to what my body needs, and how to cope with life in a healthy and holistic way.”
Shaina N.
“My time in The Fortress has been incredibly medicinal to an inner calling asking for a sacred space where folks can gather with a shared commitment toward radical vulnerability and generous support. Madison masterfully stewards the space with a consistent invitation to embody and trust our unique gifts/brilliance. I would encourage anyone to join who wants to play in the collective magic that happens when folks gather and celebrate each other’s humanity.”
Megan A.
“The FORTRESS has been the most grounding tether this last year. I love how Madison always brings it back to the body and what is doable—it's been a much needed salve for this over-functioning eldest daughter. The live calls are also magic. Madison is highly skilled in creating nurturing group spaces that always left me feeling more connected and more myself. At this point, FORTRESS feels like required learning for sensitive sweeties who want to live well and fully expressed.”

“This is playful shadow work that gives PERMISSION.
I feel more congruence between my soul and my identity with my behaviors. It feels profound. Like the roots and the foundations have shifted and I will get to watch life and goodness grow from that not just in this season, but for a long time to come.
I have gained so much permission, congruence, and skill through our reflections and work together.”
Rebecca D.
“No one else holds space like Madison does. She is a skilled practitioner able to create containers that feel like coming home to yourself with new friends that become beloveds. The style of calls within the Fortress are unique, and I love the conversations that have come out of them. Q&A’s always turn into such fascinating deep dives, and the Community calls are a treasure to witness and experience. And that’s not even touching on the content, and the way Madison structures things to build on each other, so you progress through the lessons with intention and clarity. I will always come back to these resources on my journey and am grateful for my time spent inside the FORTRESS.”
Shaina L.
“Working with Madison is like working with a highly-skilled, highly-intuitive friend who creates beautiful, seemingly infinite space for self-exploration, community, and embodiment. I have felt aligned to Madison’s work for years and I’m so grateful to have the chance we work with her/them in a time that it felt aligned and truly needed. To someone thinking about seeking services with her, I’d say listen to the nudge to do so. We are not meant to heal alone.”
-Carlie C.
“This work brings me back to myself. I am claiming my own uniqueness & no longer believe I am bad, shameful or wrong because I am neurodivergent, highly sensitive & have past trauma. I hold myself with greater compassion and love. It’s been an ongoing process of self-acceptance and self-honoring, allowing myself space to be in the world.”
Megan C.
Hi, I’m madison!
I help people see themselves clearly, remember their power & live freely as themselves.
For the last decade, I have been supporting folks in freeing themselves from their old programming, alchemizing shame, rewriting beliefs about themselves they never chose and peeling back the parts of their identity that hinder them from accessing the vast and beautiful truth of who they are.
And this!! This is when the fun part begins!
From this place you get to curate a life of JOY.
A life by design, deliberation and devotion. A life centered on your unique needs, your authentic expression and your innate goodness.
My love, don’t forget that it’s through living more freely as YOU each and every day that the life of wholeness and freedom you desire is even possible.

“This work opened me up to the possibility of truly healing by showing me what is quite literally poisoning my soul. My intuition is heightened, my somatic experiences are validated, and my creativity has expanded and shown me the way to healing.”
Elora R.
“I entered this work with an open mind, with no true idea of what I was “supposed” to do. I realized very quickly that there was no “right way” to be.
Madison‘s compassion and empathy are prominent when you enter her healing space— the approach is gentle, patient, kind and reassuring, which provides a safe environment that encourages healing and moving through the emotions at your own pace.
I’m deeply grateful for the healing, growth and transformative effects this work is having on my life and how it is unveiling my most authentic self.”
S.S.
“This work has helped me heal from shame by normalizing being human. The community, and Madison’s support has welcomed all parts of me, messy as they may be, and shown me that all of me is welcome. Not just in that space, but in all of my life.”
Christina C.
“I just said to my mother yesterday, "This group feels like what I always wanted Wednesday night prayer group to actually be." So while I have quite a bit of group "stuff," this is actually such a fucking lovely way to get to relearn new ways of being in community. Very healing. Very joyful. And I appreciate you creating and facilitating this so beautifully.”
Victoria G.
For folks who cannot afford a yearly retreat in Bali, or who struggle to find your in-person kin or mentor who can really “see” you– online spaces are often a refuge and wonderful supplement to your everyday life, expanding your mind, introducing your to new possibilities and supporting you as you make the everyday changes you need to bridge the gap.
Doing an online program is an opportunity to receive the highest quality coaching from anywhere in the world. And you don’t have to wait.
Personally, as much as I love in-person learning, I owe so much of my healing and current life to my online community and connections. In fact, when I first left the church, when I first started my business, when I was getting a divorce and no one understood, online communities were where I found my kin. An online community group call was actually where I first came out as queer! At the time, it was the safest place I had to be my fully-expressed self.
Online communities are continually where I learn, expand, take programs, gain certifications, meet and keep connections with some of my dearest friends. Plus, as a facilitator of 9 years, I’ve coached thousands of people online and have seen some of the most profound shifts occur before ever meeting someone in the flesh.
You will immediately receive an email confirmation containing the log in page URL and be taken to the FORTRESS Dashboard. You will also be prompted to create a password.
You'll get immediate access to the call calendar, a welcome video and an actionable plan that will support you to get started using all the resources inside the FORTRESS, which unlock June 9.
Although my spaces are predominantly women and femmes, this space is gender-inclusive.
I welcome trans folks into my groups. If this makes you uncomfortable please don’t join.
There is no private 1-1 support.
Each month I will be live on 2 group Zoom calls, where you can ask questions and share your own thoughts in a group space.
This is a 12 month minimum commitment. with a recurring subscription. After 12 months, you can cancel anytime by emailing our team, and within 48 business hours your account will be paused.
All content is available while you’re a paying member, aside from worksheets which are downloadable and available for you to keep for a lifetime.
Absolutely! Many folks in my communities are coaches and therapists themselves!
This is a self-inquiry program and will add depth to any healing or personal development work you are already doing. Please let your mental health practitioner know what you are learning so they can support you accordingly. This is not a replacement for trauma therapy, it can, however, supplement it.
This membership is about that leap from surviving to thriving.
If you’re presently navigating a personal, relational or financial crisis and need one on one support, this is not the program for you. If you're ready to thrive, let's do it!
I know there is a lot of fluff, junk-food teaching and bullshit– enough to make you healthfully skeptical. That said, having been in the online coaching space for 10 years now, I know the value of great online coaching programs.
For many of us, we can piece together knowledge, rituals and tools from random places, but without context it’s incredibly challenging to implement it into our lives so we can see the real changes we long for.
The FORTRESS makes the spiritual rituals more like natural rhythms in life– and the monthly Ritual Guide will walk you through exactly what to do to make it actionable. You will be more connected to your heart, be able to express your truth, have more access to your power and feel more alive, free and yourself as a result of immersing yourself in this space.
You may be relieved to know that if you join, my aim will be to equip you with simple, easy to implement tools, skills, practical rituals, mindset, community and capacity you need to meet whatever life brings to you while staying in your integrity. The digital content you receive immediately upon purchase has received rave reviews for years, with no requests for refunds ever. And that’s not considering all the live calls we will have together.
Plus, this community celebrates spirituality, body-diversity, gender expression, queerness and neurodivergence– something sadly so rare in online healing spaces.
This offering is the culmination of 10 years and thousands of hours of coaching that offers you live support from a mentor, ongoing education, skills and tools, and a community of kindred souls each and every month.
You will be able to take and apply everything you learn here into your everyday life, and allow it to keep meeting you as you move into different situations or life circumstances.
There are 2 hour-long live calls each month, and in addition to that you are welcome to utilize the journaling prompts, bonus resources available to you, which may take anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour a week.
I recommend doing what’s doable for you! There are no gold stars for doing this perfectly, so participate at your level of comfort.
There is no “cap” on the number of people who can join this program. We average 40 members at a time, but due to time zones and work schedules, not all members utilize the calls, which range between 5-12 people per call on average.
Imbued with choice, you are welcome to watch the replay instead of coming live, send in questions to be answered when you can’t be there, or come to every live call available!
We don't do refunds for any reason - live programs and digital content cannot be returned.
Once you join, all 12 payments will be processed before you can cancel your subscription.
“The biggest change is my increased self-trust. I'm learning to trust my voice, my desires, my intuition. It's so empowering. I want every woman I know to go through this program. Thank you, Madison and team for creating something life-changing. The time, love and dedication that went into this program is humbling.”
— Devin
“I now respond better in my work and personal relationships. I have become a truer version of myself. I am no longer shaming or guilt tripping myself for feeling certain ways or hide certain emotions.”
— Alyssa
“There’s such a huge difference in intellectually knowing something, and truly experientially KNOWING something.
I’m feeling a greater sense of peace inside, which is no small feat in this over-thinker’s brain. Each moment feels less frantic, allowing me to impose my expectations and the litany of “should’s” less and live out of and respond to the actual moment more.”
— Elaine
