Embodiment Coach
What is embodiment?
Embodiment is when we feel at home in our bodies. It can be a felt sense of okay-ness. When we are able to notice and track sensations both pleasant and challenging without being overwhelmed.
Embodiment is when we are able to distinguish and follow the cues of sensations, emotions, thoughts and images in our body.
Why do we need it?
Embodiment enhances most experiences in life; food, music, movement, intimacy, sex.
Embodiment increases our self esteem, confidence, overall health, vitality and is the primary motivator for healing of trauma.
The more we are in our body, the more opportunity there is for love, acceptance, ageing, gender identity, presence and pleasure.
When we are embodied we learn who is safe and who is not.
Embodiment is about all of you, where you are the full spectrum. Where every part of you has space and expression without judgement, shame or fear.
Embodiment is not a luxury. It is your birth rite, to be fully alive.
1:1 Embodiment Sessions
In my 1:1 embodiment sessions we would look to explore what you might like more of in your life.
Through gentle inquiry we would explore how and what your system responds to. Where there may be areas that are numb, de-sensitised, over-active, othered or immobile.
We may work with simple somatic movement, sounds, self contact, and objects.
By bringing conscious awareness to these places we begin the reclaiming of parts of ourselves that may have been ignored or isolated.
We learn how we can access more pleasure through sensation and develop a more detailed and descriptive language to describe differences in sensations and experiences that will therefore broaden our capacity to experience ourselves and ourselves in the world.
It is a slow and gentle process that requires patience and self-compassion. Embodiment happens over time. Once the body has found ways of being, the process can often accelerate as the body learns new pathways and reclaims its own agency to move, feel and therefore heal itself.
