Jocelyn Bates

Jocelyn Bates creates spaces for nervous system safety, deep rest, and soul-remembering. Through Yoga Nidra, guided imaginal journeys, breath, and story, she helps people come home to the body—quiet the noise, soften the grip of survival, and listen to what’s true. She is the author of The Midnight Carnival and a lifelong maker of sanctuaries for presence, grief integration, creativity, and becoming. The Midnight Carnival was born in the wake of deep loss and became a map back to breath, body, and imagination; everything she shares here has been tested in the seasons of her own life. Her work is for those who feel sensitive, layered, devoted to meaning, and tired of pushing; here, the practice is returning to sensation, to imagination, and to the small holy moments of everyday life. Training and certifications include Certified Yoga Nidra Guide, Certified Meditation Teacher, Certified Akashic Records Reader, Master-level EFT Practitioner, and Master’s-level training in Expressive Arts Therapy (Intermodal). Offerings here include Yoga Nidra and deep rest, guided meditations and imaginal environments, breathwork and nervous system regulation, talks on presence, grief, and embodied living, expressive intuitive art practices for integration, Automatic Writing and creative writing (courses and lives), EFT for emotional clearing and creative blocks, and inner child and ancestral healing journeys. More spaces for writing, integration, and ongoing work can be found via her profile.
