The Expansive Love Movement
“The Expansive Love Movement is more than a community; it's a sanctuary where meaningful connections, personal growth, and genuine belonging can flourish.” Community Member Kendra Bratherton
Yes, we are meant to do hard things—just not alone
Why I Created This Space
When I launched this journey in July 2025, it followed years of inner whispers calling me to stop hiding and start showing up for the whole of me. Beginning with a small group of women—who are now my soul sisters—my intention was simple: to create a space where we could expand our capacity for self-love, not as a destination, but as a practice.
As a somatic therapist, I’ve witnessed that no matter what we have achieved in our careers or relationships, the most profound work we will ever do is learning to truly trust, forgive, and love all parts of ourselves. I’ve walked—and continue to walk—this path every day. I know that being in a body is a vulnerable, beautiful, and sometimes messy experience, and that we are all looking for the same thing: to belong to ourselves.
I created The Expansive Love Movement because I know the relief of being fully seen—not for what I achieve, but for the depth of my humanity. This space is my own anchor. Witnessing this community navigate their own life waves has taught me that when we give ourselves permission to trust, feel, and express what is true, we don't just heal ourselves; we shift the frequency of our entire lives.
I built this for you because learning to love yourself is a forever journey, and it is a path that was never meant to be walked alone. We are truly stronger together.

Being in the Expansive Love Movement Community has given me the guidance to return to my own feminine power and intuition. Support from Paleena and members of the group has been truly magical. It is amazing how simply being seen and having a space to express yourself honestly and whole-heartedly gives you the power to recognize your truth.

I have watched Paleena create, develop, and love up on her clients, family and friends for many years and it is truly a blessing to be on this path with her! Her insights continue to grow in ways that benefit all who spend time with her and her presence feels like a warm hug. The gifts she shares, the tools she uses, and the joy with which she practices all combine to make her an incredible human.”
