Today we’d like to introduce you to Ravelle Laurette.
Hi Ravelle, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My path into my healing work was honestly born out of trying to understand myself.
As a child, I was deeply sensitive, shy, and struggled to feel safe in my body or fully understood in the world. When my father passed away when I was 11, that disconnection only deepened. I spent a lot of my life trapped in my own mind, constantly overthinking, hyper-aware, and searching for answers outside of myself because I didn’t fully trust my own intuition or inner world.
So for years, I tried to “fix” myself.
I moved through talk therapy, EMDR, Reiki, breathwork, plant medicine, self-help books, really every modality I could find. And while so many of those experiences gave me insight and helped me tremendously, underneath all of it I was still operating from this belief that I needed to improve myself in order to finally feel safe, worthy, or enough.
The first major turning point for me was discovering clairvoyance and meditation in a way that actually worked with my nervous system. I had always struggled with traditional meditation. My mind was incredibly active, and because I’m high-functioning, stillness often felt dysregulating for me rather than calming. But once I found a structured framework that helped me access my subconscious and understand what was happening inside my body and energy system, everything changed.
For the first time, I felt like I could actually access answers inside myself.
I began understanding how trauma, beliefs, ancestral patterns, nervous system conditioning, and emotional imprints were shaping the way I moved through life. My anxiety dramatically lowered. I opened up to my gifts, became more empowered, and much more connected to my purpose. It felt like I had finally been given a roadmap I could follow that came from inside.
But eventually I hit another edge in my healing.
I realized I could access huge amounts of insight now, but my body didn’t yet have the capacity to sustainably hold it. My nervous system was still wired around survival, hyper-vigilance, overperformance, and internalized shame. I had unconsciously learned that achievement, productivity, and constantly “working on myself” were how I stayed safe.
That realization completely changed the direction of my work.
I started training and studying trauma physiology, somatics, nervous system regulation, and embodiment more deeply and realized that so many high-functioning, sensitive, intuitive, and neurodivergent people are not broken at all, they’re overloaded. Their systems have adapted intelligently to survive environments that never taught them how to feel safe in themselves. And that many of them don’t know how to decode the language of their body because their minds are too powerful—just like mine was.
That understanding eventually became the foundation of Holosoma, the healing methodology I created.
Holosoma is a whole-body healing approach that bridges subconscious healing, energy work, trauma physiology, somatic integration, and nervous system capacity work.
My work now is really about helping people reconnect to themselves, build safety in their body, access their intuition, and create transformation their nervous system can actually sustain.
Because so many high-functioning people are successful on the outside while silently living in cycles of burnout, overthinking, anxiety, self-abandonment, and nervous system overwhelm underneath it all. They’ve learned how to perform, push through, and survive, but their body is paying the price.
What makes my work different is that I’m not just focused on insight or symptom management. I’m focused on helping people heal the deeper patterns at the root so they can actually hold the life they want.
The goal is not just healing for the sake of healing. It’s helping people feel fully alive in their body again. To experience success, love, purpose, visibility, joy, and abundance without constantly collapsing under the weight of it.
Really, my intention is to help people access the fullest expression of themselves. To stop living from survival mode and start living from embodiment, self-trust, and nervous system safety.
Today I teach workshops, meditation classes, and work privately with clients, helping people move beyond survival mode and into embodied self-trust, purpose, and nervous system resilience. And honestly, a lot of it came from walking through that journey myself first.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I think I speak for everyone when I say healing is never a smooth road. There’s been a lot of shadow work, grief, and deep internal unraveling that shaped my path.
I grew up incredibly shy, anxious, hyper-aware, and deeply sensitive. I struggled socially for a long time and often felt trapped inside my own mind and body. When my father passed away when I was 11, it sent me into a silent depression. I escaped into computer games and TV late into the night because I didn’t know how to be with the grief living inside me. Losing someone you love changes your nervous system forever.
Then in 7th grade, I experienced intense bullying from someone who had once been a close friend. I became so afraid of being perceived or rejected that I would eat lunch alone in the bathroom just to avoid her.
Ironically, acting became one of my first major healing portals. It forced me to become comfortable being uncomfortable. It taught me emotional vulnerability, communication, and how to exist while being perceived. I went from someone who had panic attacks over public speaking to someone people later assumed was naturally confident and extroverted.
Then I entered sales, which deepened those skills even more. Sales and acting were honestly my original exposure therapy. I learned resilience, communication, rejection tolerance, and how to mentally push through almost anything.
But there was a catch.
I became mentally strong, high-achieving, and successful on paper, but my body was paying the price. Underneath it all, I was still struggling with perfectionism, imposter syndrome, internalized shame, and survival patterns that had never actually resolved. I had learned how to perform, but not how to feel safe being fully myself.
Eventually I found myself in a high-paying tech sales director role. I had the success I thought I wanted, yet internally I felt anxious, dysregulated, disconnected from myself, and deeply unfulfilled.
That’s what eventually led me into clairvoyance and meditation. It was the first thing that truly helped me clear the noise in my system and reconnect to myself. It felt like my inner world finally made sense.
But even then, I eventually realized that insight alone wasn’t enough. My mind had transformed faster than my body had. My nervous system still didn’t fully know how to feel safe.
That realization eventually led me into Somatic Experiencing and trauma physiology work, where I began learning how to relate to my body through safety and curiosity instead of force, performance, and self-improvement.
Honestly, every challenge along the way became part of the foundation of the work I teach now.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
I currently run my business under my name, Ravelle Laurette, and through Holosoma, which is the whole-body healing methodology I created through years of personal healing, study, and working with clients.
Holosoma was born from recognizing a major gap in the healing space. I saw people doing deep energetic work but struggling to embody and sustain the changes physically in their nervous system. I also saw people approaching healing purely through the body while missing the deeper subconscious, emotional, energetic, and intuitive layers influencing their experience. Most people need both.
Holosoma works across all layers of consciousness simultaneously: spiritual, energetic, subconscious, emotional, mental, and physical. The intention is to help people heal patterns at the root instead of spending years endlessly managing symptoms, repeating cycles, or intellectually understanding themselves without real transformation.
A huge part of my work is supporting high-functioning, sensitive, complex, and neurodivergent nervous systems. Many of these individuals have spent their lives learning how to perform, override themselves, or survive environments that never truly supported the way they naturally function. Traditional healing approaches can sometimes create even more frustration because they are not designed for the way these nervous systems regulate, process, or integrate.
What makes Holosoma different is that the work is deeply collaborative and embodiment-based. This is not a passive healing session where someone simply receives information or energy work. Clients are active participants in the process. We are tracking the body, building nervous system capacity, accessing subconscious material, working with energy and emotional imprints, and helping the body safely integrate what arises in real time.
I think what I’m most proud of is watching people reconnect to themselves in a way they never thought was possible. Seeing someone go from chronic overthinking, burnout, anxiety, shame, or disconnection into clarity, self-trust, emotional freedom, purpose, and embodiment is incredibly meaningful to me.
I also love seeing clients begin unlocking their own intuition and inner awareness through the work. A big part of my intention is not to create dependency, but to help people build a relationship with themselves where they can access their own clarity, healing, and inner knowing long after our sessions together.
Most people already carry the answers within them. They were just never taught how to safely access them through their own nervous system.
How do you think about happiness?
Honestly, at this point in my life, what brings me the most happiness is cultivating joy, presence, and connection.
I find that through dancing, especially two-stepping here in Austin, through rock climbing, through bringing silliness and play into my day, and through deep relationships and community. The older I get, the more I realize we are not meant to do life alone. Allowing myself to both support others and be supported has brought me a level of fulfillment I never expected.
I’ve lived in Austin for almost 20 years now, and it’s truly the people that make me want to stay. My friends, my neighbors, the strangers I run into over and over again, there’s something really beautiful about feeling woven into the fabric of a city for this long.
And honestly, my cat Nyx. She’s my little soulmate and best friend!
