Approach

Embodiment Coaching rejects the fatphobic, ageist, ableist, gendered, racist dogma that there is one ‘perfect’ body and the presumption that appearance has a direct relationship to health and wellbeing. This work emerged as an alternative to the white supremacist, capitalistic assumption that our bodies are deeply flawed and in need of improvement. Unlike other fitness or wellness techniques that sell services to ‘fix’ our exteriors to look more like the, ever-elusive, ideal body my coaching sessions hone the ability to listen to your physical impulses and needs, to speak more gently to yourself, and to discover the movement practices that best serve you from one day to the next. 

We might be a good fit if you…

• Are wrestling with chronic pain, physical discomfort, or lack of sensation

• Feel motivated to deeply understand your body rather than falling prey to another quick fix

• Want to address the physical component of your mental health

• Seek personalized tools to integrate your mind and your body

• Have a strong support system to help you make substantive and enduring change

• Already have a physical practice but keep getting injured or feeling disconnected

• See a variety of body professionals and need help integrating all of the information you are receiving

• Want to reckon with the embodied manifestations of your privilege as part of a commitment to social justice
