SO LA began as an advocate site specific to SA resources. We have since grown into a brain and embodiment business that exists for the moments when the places we expected to help us no longer know how to hold what we’re carrying.

Here you’ll find a growing collection of survivor stories, sensory experiences, symbolic tools, research, original artwork, and resources designed to help people recognize themselves through the many different ways human beings make meaning and process pain and trauma.

Whether you’re beginning with a book, a candle, a piece of art, a conversation, a need for community, or simple curiosity, every path leads back to the same place: the quiet work of understanding yourself with greater honesty, compassion, and hope.

For every future purchase made, we give back to a relevant and carefully selected charitable cause. We also welcome suggestions and feedback for the organizations you personally love and recommend!

  • Crystals

    One of many symbolic languages that can help us recognize ourselves through sensation, ritual, and personal meaning. People have used crystals to create meaning, comfort, and connection for centuries.

    Here, it is another doorway into our sensory world, where objects become companions to reflection and healing. Not because our crystals heal us, but because the relationships we build with them sometimes helps us to see and heal ourselves.

  • The Tui Tarot

    An original tarot deck created as a symbolic language for personal pattern recognition, reflection, and meaning-making.

    Explore the cards, their unique artwork, the symbolism, spreads we map, and the many ways they connect throughout the SO LA ecosystem and offer guiding support.

  • Support Through Many Doorways

    Whether you’re looking for understanding, regulation, community, creativity, or support, no two healing journeys look the same or always need the same things, so every offering begins in the same place: meeting you wherever you are.

    Resources, experiences, artwork, sensory tools, and guidance here are designed for supporting you during all different stages and phases of healing.

The Origin Story

Every ecosystem has an origin.

Tiny Heart Pieces is the story that made this work impossible to walk away from. It’s the memoir that gave rise to everything else you see here.

What began as one person’s search to understand the aftermath of childhood sexual abuse became a larger question:

Where are people supposed to go when their lived experience and need for support isn’t adequately held by family, institutions, mental health systems, or the law?

This memoir is another doorway into that question. The field notes, artwork, tarot, sensory experiences, and educational resources that grew from it are of the others.

Whether or not your story looks like this one, I hope you find something here that helps you trust what you’ve known, understand what you’ve lived, and feel a little less alone.

SO LA The Foundation

SO LA began as an advocate site specifically for SA awareness, with special support aimed at its' aftermath. Through this platform, we recognized the suffering stored in the body and life altering, lingering effects (not only sexual but also all other) trauma has on the mind, body and brain. Realized developmental trauma impacts all of us, and has a long line of history before its' wake deep in our DNA.

Where SO LA recognized there were many shared stages and effects in the aftermath of all trauma, we shifted gears a bit to get less specific and more supportive of all walks of life.

Tools, teachers and practices to take care of your mental health and brain function deserve full accessibility, but this sadly isn't always or even often the case. We've grown SO LA to make an impact on changing that. In shared aftermath effects, we offer support toward all of your unique paths toward purpose and meaning.

SO LA also acknowledges the tremendous self compassion needed on the journey to self acceptance and safety in your body and mind. Taking care of your mental health, learning who you really are, and understanding what you're meant to give back is a courageous journey. The vulnerability it takes to open yourself up in this way after enduring pain and suffering is not for the faint of the heart.

Support can be free of cost. Signs and symbols, while you may not have been taught such in a syllabus, are all around you every day, available in offering great insight, guidance and healing messages amidst your journey.

SO LA creates and offers an array of products and tools to help you tap in, and give back to carefully selected, relevant causes at the same time!

We are launching with our stunning tarot deck! Available now is also our coaching services, tarot reads and crystal light energy healing sessions.

Coming in 2025, we will be guiding you beginning with the sense of smell and two stunning tarot-inspired crystal candle lines, "The Hand You're Dealt" and "Below Deck." Both lines offering aromatherapy and inspiration to learn the greater meaning of tarot as it relates to you!
