Ray’s Approach
Ray Anastasia Ringsel works at the intersection of the nervous system, identity, and embodied leadership. She guides high-performing humans, founders, and organizations out of survival-based success and into sustainable power, clarity, and wholeness.
Her work isn’t about motivation.
It’s about regulation, remembrance, and real transformation.
Ray is known for helping people access the parts of themselves that strategy alone can’t reach - the subconscious patterns, somatic memory, and emotional intelligence that quietly run performance, leadership, relationships, and fulfillment. She works in the subtleties. Where identity shifts. Where nervous systems exhale. Where power becomes calm instead of forceful.
What makes Ray different is not just what she teaches - but how she holds space. Her presence creates immediate safety. Her precision creates rapid insight. And her depth allows people to finally tell the truth to themselves - without shame.
More Than a Speaker - An Experience
Ray doesn’t deliver talks.
She facilitates embodied experiences.
Whether she’s on a stage, in a boardroom, or guiding a private container, she brings her full spectrum of gifts: nervous system education, somatic intelligence, subconscious rewiring, sound, story, humor, and grounded spirituality.
Audiences don’t just leave inspired.
They leave regulated, clear, and changed.
Her work resonates deeply with high-achieving women and leaders who are outwardly successful but internally exhausted - those who are ready to lead, create, and live without burning themselves down in the process..
Availability
I accept a limited number of speaking engagements, panels, retreats, and private experiences each year to ensure depth, integrity, and nervous-system-safe delivery.
If you’re looking for a speaker or facilitator who can:
speak to burnout without shaming ambition
address performance without glorifying exhaustion
and create lasting change beyond the event itself
You’re in the right place.
What Audiences Experience
When Ray steps into a room, the energy shifts.
She is equal parts:
grounded authority
warm sanctuary
sharp insight
and deeply human
Her talks weave science and soul, practicality and presence, intellect and embodiment. She names what people feel but haven’t had language for - often with a touch of humor that disarms defenses and opens hearts.
People leave feeling:
seen instead of pushed
empowered instead of pressured
resourced instead of depleted
And most importantly: reconnected to themselves.
I've worked with
“An invaluable asset in any team, family and environment.
Ray approaches every endeavor with a remarkable level of determination and perseverance, and her ability to surpass expectations never ceases to amaze me.
She possesses a unique ability to connect with individuals from all walks of life, making her an invaluable asset in any team, family and environment. Ray is not only driven and hardworking but also incredibly kind, compassionate, and empathetic.
She has a genuine concern for the well-being of others and consistently goes above and beyond to make everyone around her feel valued and appreciated. Her positive attitude and infectious energy have a profound impact on those she interacts with, leaving a lasting impression wherever she goes.
I am confident that Ray will exceed expectations of every client and make a significant impact in any environment she finds herself in.”

These retreats are not an escape from your life.
They are an initiation back into it.
My retreats are designed for people who have done “the work,” achieved success, held responsibility - and are ready to stop living from survival, urgency, or self-abandonment.
This is where the nervous system softens.
Where identity recalibrates.
Where the body finally feels safe enough to tell the truth.
Each retreat is intentionally small, deeply held, and supported before, during, and after the experience - because real transformation doesn’t happen in isolation or overwhelm. It happens in safety, presence, and coherence..
Every retreat includes:
nervous system preparation before we gather
somatic and subconscious support throughout
and intentional integration so what opens actually lands
We work with the body, mind, heart, and soul simultaneously, allowing insights to become embodied change - not just memories.
Depending on the retreat, this may include:
somatic + NLP-based identity rewiring
sound healing and nervous system regulation
sacred ritual and intentional ceremony
plant medicine work (where applicable, always held with integrity and lineage)
movement, breath, rest, and honest conversation
Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.
Your system sets the pace.
This is not a one-weekend high followed by a crash back into real life.
Turning Pain Into Purpose
Listen to my story inside theUtterly Obsessed Podcast Hosted by Kelsie Riffey
What if clarity didn’t come from trying harder, learning more, or fixing yourself but from listening to what your body has been communicating all along?
In this episode, Kelsie sits down with Ray Ringsel, nervous-system-informed practitioner, speaker, and mentor known for her precision-based approach to embodiment, self-trust, and sustainable transformation.
Ray shares how real change happens when insight lands in the body, not just the mind. We explore how identity, capacity, and decision-making are shaped by early imprints and adaptive patterns, and how naming what’s been unnamed creates immediate relief, clarity, and self-trust.
This conversation is not about collecting more tools.It’s about seeing yourself clearly enough to move forward without force.
When you’re ready to receive support without guilt - step into your next chapter with clarity and steadiness.
-
These retreats are for you if:
you’re successful, capable, and quietly exhausted
you’re ready to stop holding everything together alone
you feel called to deeper alignment - not just relief
you want to live, lead, and love from calm power
you’re ready to release old identities without losing yourself
This work is especially resonant for high-achieving women, leaders, founders, and caretakers ready to break free from being the good girl and finally receive.
-
People often say they came for clarity - but left with something deeper:
a regulated nervous system
a softened relationship with themselves
clearer boundaries and cleaner desires
restored self-trust
and a felt sense of “I’m home in myself again”
This is not about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering who you are without the weight of survival. -
I curate and host both private and group retreats, including immersive international experiences such as the upcoming retreat to Sacred Valley of Peru in March 2026.
Because of the depth of this work, all retreats are entered through a 1:1 conversation to ensure readiness, safety, and alignment on both sides.
If you feel the pull - even quietly - trust that.
Book a call to explore upcoming retreats and see what’s right for you.
Ground Gently
This sound offering combines mindful tones, vibrational overtones, and intentional pacing to help you find calm amidst chaos - whether you’re reeling from news, processing collective pain, or simply seeking rest.
“Ray, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude to you for guiding such a wonderful experience on Wednesday night. I think the “random accident” to discover SS was actually not random at all and an intentional opportunity presented to me. I almost didn’t go, despite signing up, as I’ve been dealing with a lot of crazy internal battles since moving to Denver almost 5yrs ago, this last year probably being one of the hardest. I think I’m in good company though, doesn’t sound like many had the greatest year but I’m always hopeful for what may come & one day learning why the past presented what it did. Since your guidance this week, I have felt much lighter with what has been weighing on me and I thank you for giving me the space for it. You will definitely be seeing me again and I look forward to those times as they present. ”
