About Conscious Lifestyle Coaching
Grounded somatic care, early family science, and community support in Maryville, Tennessee.
Welcome to Sanctuary
My name is Raileigh Easterling, B.S., CYT. I am a somatic practitioner, Certified Yoga Teacher, author, and the founder of Conscious Lifestyle Coaching™ LLC.
Stepping into motherhood as a self-described "spiritual orphan"—without an inherited village or local family support—I experienced firsthand the biological and emotional weight modern mothers carry when navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood in isolation.
I created Conscious Lifestyle Coaching™ because mothers do not need more advice, judgment, or rigid expectations. We need grounded sanctuary—a safe space to unbend our nervous systems, step out of survival mode, and return home to ourselves alongside our children.

Science & Somatics
My work merges academic research in human development with body-based somatic care:
Family & Child Sciences (B.S.): Grounded in autonomic co-regulation—the scientific truth that a calm, down-regulated caregiver presence is the single most powerful foundation for a child's brain development and emotional baseline.
Somatic Movement & Postpartum Care: Utilizing gentle movement and body-based practices to help women move past intellectualizing stress and physically discharge tension stored within the central nervous system.
Guiding Principles
1. Somatic Down-Regulation
Healing doesn't happen through high-pressure self-help. It happens when your body finally registers that it is safe enough to rest, breathe, and slow down.
2. The Mother-Child Dyad
You never have to choose between receiving care and caring for your child. Our space is designed to integrate infants and young children seamlessly, honoring real-life rhythms with complete grace.
3. Rebuilding the Village
Motherhood was never meant to be a solo journey. Creating authentic, non-judgmental spaces for women to gather allows us to rebuild the supportive community that modern life so often strips away.
Connect & Practice
Whether you are looking to cultivate calmer rhythms at home, connect with local mothers in Maryville, or explore somatic movement, you are so welcome here.
