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.”
Taylor E.

“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.
What’s going right? By laying a solid foundation of stability, wellbeing and resource, we will begin showing your nervous system that it is safe to be here. You will be guided to anchor into inner stability and safety, create an altar space, and gently map a way forward that feels spacious, easy and light.
Inner safety & soul-aligned living - Diving into the foundational elements of a life well lived: what matters to you. We will get back to basics and look at what’s working, what’s not working, drop into your values and your desires… and how “doable” those feel right now. Bolster your life with sweetness, beauty, and ease - because healing doesn’t have to be treacherous or hard. You get to dance with life around here. ;)
You belong to you - You’ll discover how to hear your needs, preferences and desires where they have once been frozen, enmeshed or diminished. In accessing your true feelings, you’ll begin to feel your sovereignty, from the inside-out, and engage the world with more power, clarity and Truth. You choose. Every step of the way.
Living liberation is an orientation, not a destination - Rather than waiting for something (or someone) outside us to change, we build upon our inner safety and orient your attention on the things that add goodness here and now– both without bypassing and without the outside world changing. Through paying loving, non-judgmental attention, you’ll begin to notice how it feels in your body to access goodness and Source from Source.
Becoming the Guardian of the Goodness - This is a must for all highly-sensitives, codependents in recovery & empaths! Grow your ability to repair leaky boundaries & protect what’s good in your life with ritual, visualization and practical action so that your younger parts see that it’s finally safe to be you. This is where you start filling your life up with what gives you life, not just protecting or guarding against what depletes it.
Your True Essence is Good - Learn how to de-shame shame itself. Move stuck emotion with Shame Alchemy - micro-practices that melt shame in ways that feel nourishing & follow your body’s natural, cyclical rhythms. (No need for screaming catharsis, shaking or weeks of dysregulation to release. This is gentle).
You’ll experience the goodness of your own heart underneath old protective strategies. You will restore your inherent belonging, goodness and discover just how good it is to be you.
Heart medicine & authentic self-expression - This lesson puts you back in contact with a way of expressing yourself in the world that would be most organic and natural for you. Through play and self-honoring you’ll find yourself connecting to the hidden parts of yourself that are ready to come forward and make themselves known in your life. Acknowledge the part of you that wants to SHINE. You’ll take a small, doable, 1% action towards bringing more YOU forward.
Practice coming out in safe spaces - Here you’ll be mirrored in your Truth, received and regarded as Sacred. Plus, you’ll weed the garden - aka stop sharing your emerging Truth with people who reinforce hiding & shame! Instead, learn how to identify those with Capacity for Celebration: folks who would LOVE to clap, hoot & holler for you!
(While no one can guarantee safety, my clients report feeling incredibly safe and seen in my spaces; able to be who they really are, just by being in the energy of the groups I cultivate).
Shameless Self-Expression! Discover the truth about what you really want, & learn how to ride any corresponding wave of fear like a pro. You’ll identify whose gaze you’ve been living for & cut those damn cords with love, creating new ways of relating where you bring more of you.
Rituals for embodying beauty, awe, and wonder - Through connecting to nature’s stability and seasons, along with using micro-rituals for presence and prayer (no religious or spiritual affiliation needed here) you’ll comb through the mind’s endless to-do’s, judgments, and fears and let yourself drop into beauty, awe, and wonder. With a brief lesson on the power of projection, you’ll be reminded how the mind can either keep us from being right here, in connection with ourselves and one another or how the mind can become a powerful tool to awaken us to the present moment.
Create rituals, do practical magic & use the body to heal through play! It’s through ritual we don’t have to incessantly analyze or fix ourselves. It’s in ritual we restore what was wounded by giving ourselves what we actually needed– safety to unfurl & to BE our True Selves. Through doing it together we learn in real time that we aren’t alone, and give ourselves embodied proof that who we are is enough.
Life as art, Living your Liberation - We will end our 12-months with celebration and simple ways to continue living into your liberation. You’ll now have foundational tools, embodied experience and soul-community that will support you with a solid base of support to go out into your life, FULLY as YOU so you can continue the practices that add joy, goodness, and beauty to your life.
Hi, I’m madison!
I help people see themselves clearly, remember their power & live freely as themselves.
For the last 12 years, 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.
Yes, 100% yes.
Online spaces are a refuge for those who can't access in-person retreats or mentors who truly see them.
They expand possibility, particularly for those who are high-masking or have experienced relational harm and need a space to have corrective experiences. What's so great about (the right) online program is that you can access world-class coaching from anywhere, right now. :)
I owe much of my healing to online community. When I left the church, started my business, got divorced, and came out as queer, online spaces gave me kin and safety when I needed it most. Over 12 years as a facilitator, I've coached thousands online, studied and taken certifications online and witnessed some of the most profound transformations occur before ever meeting someone in person. These communities remain where I learn, connect with dear friends, and continue my own growth.
The skills you learn in The Fortress will not only offer immediate corrective experiences, over time they translate into real life, creating an even larger web of support.
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.
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, as well as a somatic drop-in.
What to expect on calls:
Community Call (Community Tier only)
For deeper connection, intimacy, and being truly seen by community.
4th Tuesday of the month, 5–7pm CST.
Q+A Call (all members)
I answer any questions about the content and how it applies to your life.
2nd Tuesday of the month, 5–7pm CST.
Live Somatic Drop-In (all members)
A guided somatic practice to create inner safety, expand capacity, and experience your body in new ways.
First Tuesday of the month, 10–10:45am CST.
No. This is a 12 month minimum commitment with a recurring subscription thereafter. It is not a monthly membership.
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!
There is so much fluff, junk‑food teaching and bullshit online that being healthfully skeptical makes sense.
That said, I’m not new to this - I’m true to this–
I’ve been in the online coaching space for over 12 years and know how powerful a truly grounded program can be (as well as how truly vapid some courses are).
Most of us collect tools and rituals from random snippets online, podcasts and books, but without context it’s hard to weave them into real, lasting change.
The FORTRESS helps your spiritual and somatic practices become natural rhythms in your life–
The monthly Ritual Guide and weekly support emails offer you gentle guidance and accountability so it feels simple, doable and meaningful without being another “healing hack” to check off your to-do list. The calls offer a no-pressure way to connect, be witnessed and receive coaching if you so desire. There is so much choice here!
Over time, you feel more connected to your heart, more able to speak your truth, access your power, and feel more alive, free and like yourself.
This is holistic & scientific without forsaking Soul–
If you join, my focus is to equip you with simple tools, practical rituals, somatic skills, community rehab and capacity to meet whatever life brings, while staying in your integrity. The digital content you get right away has received rave reviews for years, with no refund requests ever.
Celebrating Muchness & Highly Sensitive People–
This community openly celebrates spirituality, body diversity, gender expression, queerness and neurodivergence— sadly still rare in many healing spaces.
Essentially, there is nothing else on the market for divergent folks that distills 12+ years of coaching into live nervous system support, ongoing education and a kindred community you can keep returning to as you grow and circumstances change.
There are 2 hour-long live calls each month, a 45 minute somatic drop in if you so choose to attend. 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 50-70 members at a time, but due to time zones and work schedules, not all members utilize the calls, which range between 12-18 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 as live programs and digital content cannot be returned.
Once you join, all 12 payments will be processed before you can cancel your ongoing subscription.
The Fortress is a 12 month program, with ongoing support thereafter. The pricing structure reflects this.
We opted for tiered pricing rather than sliding scale or scholarships for 2 reasons:
1- We wanted folks to choose their level of support. Originally $127/mo, we created a Foundations tier for folks who wanted a little less support, or wanted sliding scale prices. This honors everyone involved, allowing our all-autistic team to be well-resourced and well paid.
2- In lieu of scholarships, we have chosen to set aside a percentage of the profit from The Fortress to go to resourcing a local organization that supports children of sexualized violence.
We do not offer additional discounts or scholarships at this time.
However you choose to join, you’re doing so in an ecosystem committed to the wellbeing of all.
In The Fortress I teach simple, practical, and doable ways to make it happen.
It’s easier than you think to start.
After a decade of coaching, I’ve seen firsthand that transformative change, meaningful relationships, and re-orienting to a more liberated way of being take time, immersion, and integration.
The journey back to your True Self doesn’t happen in a 3-week online course. And shame alchemy cannot be done in isolation. We need time, proper support, and the right community. These things are found not by consuming more, but by going both higher and deeper—together.
Your path cannot be rushed.
Your journey cannot be walked alone.
10% of sales from THE FORTRESS will be set aside to offer pro-bono somatic coaching to select staff of the Springfield, Missouri Child Advocacy Center, an organization that helps children harmed by sexualized violence begin their journey toward safety, healing, and justice.
The CAC provides support to child abuse investigations, access to critical services, and raises community awareness to prevent and reduce child abuse and neglect in Southern Missouri.
As a child abuse survivor myself, who has spent thousands of dollars and many years healing, it’s my hope to see young people receive support, justice and healing as early as possible. Your participation in the FORTRESS, and your own commitment to healing allows for the flow of wellbeing to circulate to the children in my community.
✔️ Feel fully supported in being all that they already are. No masks, no performance.
✔️ Finally take off the mask of pretending and step out of the shame, fear, and self-editing cycle.
✔️ Come all the way out—whatever that means for you.
✔️ Experience more connection, celebration, and ease in your daily life.
✔️ Set boundaries that feel life-giving, not guilt-inducing.
✔️ Build kindred community with the capacity to celebrate your muchness.
✔️ Alchemize shame and reclaim full self-expression.
✔️ Stop hustling for worthiness and realize healing doesn’t have to be treacherous.
✔️ Expand your capacity for joy, pleasure, ease, and goodness—and learn how to actually let it in.
✔️ Deepen intimacy with your body, your people, Source/God, and the natural world.
✔️ Access coaching and spiritual guidance that’s earth-rooted, queer-celebrating, and anchored in collective liberation.
✔️ Resource yourself to stay anchored in truth and goodness amidst injustice, political unrest, and information overwhelm.
✔️ Use simple, embodied tools that work—and practice them in consistent community.
✔️ Stop trying so fucking hard. (!!!!!!)
This is not for…
Those needing the 1-1 attention & attunement of therapy.
Those uncomfortable with difference– I welcome trans & queer people, & folks of all religions. If you are uncomfortable holding yourself in difference with dignity and respect for all humans, please do not join. We CELEBRATE difference & muchness around here.
Those who do not feel safe to take care of themselves in group spaces. (if you’ve got a lot of “stuff” around groups but feel eager to join, consider coming to calls with your video off, and experimenting with being seen in small, doable bits).
Those uncomfortable with shamanism, ritual and spiritual tools for healing. This work is informed by shamanism, spiritual practices and somatic magic. If you’re looking for a therapeutic process devoid of spirit, this is not it.
Those unable to take responsibility for their personal experiences, consent, triggers and inner-safety. Your experiences are always valid here, and they are also yours; meaning I will not be able to predict what will make you feel safe, only you can do that. Emotional maturity is a skill and capacity we cherish around here.
“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
