ABOUT THE RHYTHM WORK

Peace babe, I’m Chrysalis Nyingi.

Creator of The Rhythm Work, mother, writer, psychology graduate, somatic psychology student, and intuitive guide helping women return to their bodies, truth, rhythm, and self-trust.

There was a time in my life when, from the outside, everything looked successful.

I was a wife, a mother of two boys, and the owner of a thriving Holistic Health business experiencing back-to-back five-figure months. I had interviews lined up, opportunities expanding, and a life that appeared to be moving forward in all the ways I thought it was supposed to.

But underneath all of it, my body was unraveling.

I found myself in the hospital with a partial intestinal blockage, recurring migraines, heart palpitations, severe exhaustion, and needing a blood transfusion after years of pushing beyond what my body could sustain.

At the same time, my marriage was struggling, and my sons were behaving erratically from the long hours I worked and the emotional absence survival mode had created inside our home. Despite all the external success, I could feel something inside me quietly breaking down.

That was the first time I truly heard my body clearly.

This time, it wasn't as an inconvenience or something to push through, but as communication.

Deep down, I knew it was now or never. So I made a decision that looked irrational to many people around me: I closed my business.

Not because I lacked success, but because I realized success without embodiment, nervous system safety, emotional presence, and connection to myself was slowly costing me my health, my peace, my family, and my life.

That decision began a much deeper journey into understanding the body, the nervous system, emotional survival, embodiment, womanhood, and what it truly means to heal in a way that is sustainable, honest, and rooted in self-trust rather than performance.

My Background

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and am currently continuing my education through my Master’s studies in Somatic Psychology, deepening my understanding of the relationship between the body, emotions, trauma, identity, nervous system regulation, and embodied healing.

But The Rhythm Work wasn't born from education alone, it was born from lived experience.

From learning how to stop abandoning myself in order to survive. From realizing that awareness alone does not create embodiment. And from understanding that healing is rarely linear, especially for women whose bodies naturally move in cycles and rhythms.

What is the Rhythm Work?

The Rhythm Work is a rhythm-led approach to embodiment, emotional awareness, nervous system healing, and returning to yourself.

It is rooted in the belief that women don't need to force ourselves into constant output, constant clarity, or constant transformation. Our bodies move in rhythms. Our emotions move in rhythms. Our energy, sensitivity, creativity, boundaries, desires, intuition, and emotional capacity move in rhythms too.

The more I stopped fighting those rhythms and began listening to them, the more I realized my body wasn't betraying me. It was guiding me.

Through reflective tools, somatic practices, rhythm-based awareness, embodiment exercises, and intuitive voice note guidance, I help women better understand the emotional patterns shaping their lives, the beliefs living beneath their reactions, the messages their body may be communicating, and the deeper wisdom hidden within their own rhythm.

A Return to Rhythm

Eventually, I relocated to Africa, first to Kigali, Rwanda, to intentionally heal my nervous system and reconnect with a slower, more grounded way of living.

Today, I live in Mombasa, Kenya, where I continue expanding The Rhythm Work through embodiment tools, reflective workbooks, somatic practices, intuitive voice note guidance, writing, and community gatherings.

Since relocating, I have hosted my first Rhythm Circle, continued building a global community of women engaging this work, and begun preparing for the launch of my upcoming book while supporting clients across Rwanda, Kenya, and the United States.

This work is for the woman who is ready to return to herself.

  • the woman who has been functioning, but not fully feeling

  • the woman who is emotionally aware, but not yet embodied

  • the woman who keeps repeating patterns and wants to understand the deeper root

  • the woman whose body has been speaking, but who was never taught how to listen

  • the woman ready to stop abandoning herself in the name of survival

  • the woman who desires softness, clarity, self-trust, emotional safety, and authentic power

The goal isn't just awareness, but inegration, and
embodiment.

And over time, what your rhythm reveals becomes wisdom. That wisdom strengthens your intuition, confidence, emotional clarity, self-trust, and authenticity as an embodied woman.
