a place to stay human in hard times
Lisa Larn guides people through heartbreak, reinvention, nervous-system collapse, relational chaos and the strange miracle of finding themselves again …
…weaving together over 25 years of teaching, meditation, movement, somatic practice, humor and hard-won wisdom…
…always in an ongoing exploration of what helps humans come fully alive again.

The Tender Underground is a space for people rebuilding themselves after heartbreak, burnout, trauma, loss, relational chaos, or major life transition.
A place for the ones who have held it together for everyone else.
The deep feelers. The over-functioners. The strong ones who are quietly exhausted. The people longing to feel fully alive again.
Our work weaves together coaching, meditation, somatic practice, nervous-system healing, creativity, humour and deep relational inquiry to help people reconnect with themselves, each other and what truly matters.
We believe transformation doesn’t happen through perfection, performance or endlessly trying to “fix” yourself. It happens through honesty. Through tenderness. Through learning how to stay present with what is real.
This is not about becoming a shinier version of yourself.
It’s about coming home to yourself beneath the masks, survival strategies and old stories that no longer fit.
At the heart of The Tender Underground is a belief that even in the middle of heartbreak or collapse, something wise in us is still trying to move toward life.
what this is not
not a high-pressure program
not therapy
not a place to be “fixed”
not another thing you have to get right
Who We Are
What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead.
What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.
Our Services
i love people. i find us all utterly fascinating. in all my work; coaching & teaching somatics and eastern practices since 2002, i've always been drawn to understanding what makes us human and how we learn to live in connection with each other.
intimacy with all that is.
i specialize in teaching narcissistic abuse and trauma recovery and nervous system resilience. i guide people through all types of life transitions, specifically divorce, post separation abuse, and child custody.
i will walk with you in the dark and reflect to you the light of your own being. this is my life’s work and greatest joy.

you’re not broken. never were. never could be.
but something in your life might feel like it is…
a relationship.
an imaginary future you thought was certain (ha)
your sense of home. your home itself.
your nervous system. (f’king instagram….)
your heart…
your capacity to keep pretending everything is fine….
this is not a space to fix yourself. what would that even mean?
this is a space to be with what’s here. what is real…
…and slowly, gently, remember and find your way through the tender underground.
what this is
the tender underground is a small, ongoing space for people who are:
in the middle of something hard
coming out of something that broke their hearts open
trying to rebuild without losing themselves
tired of surface-level advice and ‘nervous system resets’ and bs forced positivity
it’s for if you want
honesty over performance
depth over noise
connection without pressure
You might belong here if:
you’ve been through rupture (divorce, betrayal, unbearable loss, whole identity collapse (there’s a silver lining to all of them even if you cannot see it)
you’re functioning… but barely (been there)
you feel strong and exhausted at the same time (garghgghgh)
you want real connection, but not overwhelm
you’re rebuilding something, even if you don’t know what yet. especially if…
i’ve spent decades helping people through the hardest moments of their lives.
…what I’ve learned is this:
most people don’t need more advice. they know what to do.
they just need somewhere they can exhale
and remind each other to take one step. one foot in front of another. even when they are frozen and stuck.
that’s what this is. no performing. no pushing.
this is not a transformation machine.
it’ s a place to stay close to yourself
while everything else is changing.

no pressure to show up perfectly
$22–$44/month (you choose what feels right)
softly… asking questions
-
you don’t have to. being around others and hearing, seeing, is enough.
-
it’s ok. it’s the underground. we move with the tides but you are never left behind. there is nowhere to get to. but when you want to, we do it together.
-
no it’s a teaching / learning /coaching / peer-supported space with gentle guidance. nobody has the answers. but together we live the questions
