How Embodiment Found Me (And Changed Everything)
Embodiment has a way of finding us, whispering quietly and planting a curiosity inside us—often long before we even know what the word means.
That was true for me.
Back when I was a hospital pharmacist, I had no concept of “embodiment.” But something in me longed for more.
My body was trying to tell me that what I was living… wasn’t it.
I was sick—literally—Monday through Friday. I did all the tests, took all the medications, but the nausea wouldn’t go. My body knew.
I was sick of the system I was part of.
I didn’t know it yet, but what I was searching for was a different way of being. Personally & professionally.
Something more vital, more heart-connected, more alive. That search led me into a personal and professional metamorphosis—and eventually into building a whole school dedicated to Feminine Embodiment Coaching.

Could Feminine Embodiment Coaching be the missing link to creating the somatic depth you’re craving in your client work, the grounded confidence you yearn for in your practitioner skills, and the sustainability you need to create a rich livelihood of service….
(Even if you’re brand new to coaching or still have further to go on the ‘embodiment’ path yourself)
If you’re yearning to move beyond mindset tools & get to the root of what’s holding you (& your clients) back…
If you’re called to service, but sense you’re not (yet) bringing your most potent self to client sessions...And you know there is more depth, vulnerability & power available… somewhere inside the body.
This session will invite you to experience how Feminine Embodiment Coaching works and taste it for yourself.Resources mentioned in this podcast:

Want to know the secret to avoid adding (yet another) course to your ‘never quite finished’ shelf?
We’ve all bought a training (or five) that didn’t deliver. Perhaps…
You lost interest halfway through The star-studded lineup of teachers turned out to be an incohesive mess The pricing looked too good to be true (and it was) The mentors had no vibe & couldn’t hold a resonant spaceThese experiences are a rite of passage. We’ve all been there, as we figure out how to discern the meaningful experiences from the mediocre ones.
The difference between experiences that suck and experiences that stick is… the opportunity for embodied learning.
Most training has zero embodied learning built into their experiences.
For those who are strong self-starters & want to do all the implementation themselves, this could work.
But for those of us who want to venture into the unknown, who want to soften & be held. For those of us who want to do things faster by accessing community & on-demand help.
Then embodied learning spaces are where it’s at.

Looking to bring more depth to the clients you work with?
This is one of the most common yearnings for practitioners we partner with. But how to do it? What are the ingredients for more depth? I’m breaking it down on today’s podcast….
Whether you’re a new practitioner, or already have 200 modalities under your belt, many of us sense there’s deeper layers to access. We feel it for ourselves, and we want to share it with our clients.
In the podcast we’re diving into:
The 3 key ingredients to bring more depth to your client sessions
Why so many highly skilled practitioners have this yearning (despite already being skilled practitioners)
Why these ingredients are left out of many transformational modalities
How to find more truth & power that your client can tangibly access
Some key strategies I use, including my own client examples

If you’re craving more depth in your own embodiment or in the spaces you hold with clients, vulnerability is non-negotiable.
It’s the key that opens us up to real intimacy and true transformation. When someone shares vulnerably with me—whether it’s a client, colleague or my child—I know we’ve reached the gold.
We’re no longer hovering on the surface. We’re in rich, honest territory.
But vulnerability can be confronting. It asks us to feel the tenderness, shame, or discomfort that many of us were taught to avoid. And so, we’ve developed clever strategies—mostly unconscious—to sidestep that feeling.
In this podcast, I’m sharing the 4 avoidance strategies we use to avoid vulnerability, and how naming your style is the first step to doing something different. We also explore:
How important vulnerability is for deeper connection
Why so many of us see vulnerability as a weakness (rather than the gift it is)
Why recognizing your vulnerability avoidance style is crucial to flexing your vulnerability muscle as a human (& practitioner)
The 4 Vulnerability Avoidance Styles
Why creating safe spaces for vulnerability is vital for growth.

Why Feminine Embodiment is Essential in Times of Crisis
We’re living in intense times—so how can we navigate them in embodied ways?
There has never been MORE of a need for feminine power on the planet. So how can we access it, and use it, in embodied ways?
Whether you’re navigating cyclones from climate change, destabilizing political regimens or something else closer to home, it’s beyond heart breaking. So what does this have to do with feminine embodiment? (hint, the answer’s everything).💡 Hint: It all starts in the body.
During the podcast, we’ll dive into:
What power actually is & how it moves through the body
Why personal empowerment is not enough on it’s own
How to feel more resourced & stable in wild times, using somatic tools
How to prevent feeling frozen or overwhelmed by the polycrisis’ that abound
What these times ask of us as practitioners
As a mother living with low grade anxiety about the state of the world my kids will inherit, this much is abundantly evident to me - if i don’t do something with my power, then it’s not real power. In the podcast we dive into what I’ve been doing about that.

This energy, this force, this dimension that so many of us feel called to… but struggle to define.
It’s the missing piece, the thing we crave more of—yet, so many are also uncertain:
Is the feminine harmful? Is it just some new-age fluff? And how do we navigate these gendered terms if we’re not about old-school binaries?As an intersectional feminist, deeply committed to liberation for all bodies (including from gender norms) I’ve been in this contemplation, too. For years.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
The heart of the feminine: what it really is, how we find more of it
How to access it responsibly.
I’ll share how I stumbled into this work and why it’s so deeply personal for me.
We’ll chat about the 3 books that shaped my explorations
My own ancestral ‘feminine’ roots
We’ll touch on why patriarchy has silenced the feminine
How capitalist systems have commodified it and
Why we need this force now more than ever.
The feminine is about the full spectrum of feeling, sensation, live-living-itself-ness.
So if you’re ready to explore the wild, the untamed, and the transformational energy of the feminine, this episode is for you.

Will AI replace coaches?
And how can we use AI to self coach us through everyday challenges?
Lately a dear friend of mine, also an embodiment practitioner, & I have been joking about “AI Therapy”.
We’ve had a few tricky situations, and have turned to chat GPT to channel advice in the tone of some of our favorite authors, mentors and coaches.It’s been illuminating, funny, and sometimes insightful. It’s gotten me thinking about the role of AI in replacing coaches.
It’s also opened up some ideas about how we can use AI for self coaching…
Today on the podcast I want to open up the conversation.
In this episode we:
First we discuss AI replacing coaches
I share both my thoughts & the insights ChatGPT provided (naturally)
We dissect the role of a coach & which parts AI might be able to replicate
We then dive into Self-Coaching, we define what it is
I share some AI prompts I’ve been using lately (with various levels of success)
And I share some free Somatic Self-Coaching resource you can use at home
