COACHING
EMBODIMENT
"Integrate the theoretical knowledge of self-development and spiritual growth into a consistent part of your lived experience. This is the establishment of lasting change. This is your evolution."
What is Embodiment Coaching?
Embodiment coaching - also referred to as somatic coaching - uses awareness and choice of the body to facilitate behavioral and mental change. There are many effective tools and techniques to use in embodiment coaching, all centered around working with and through the body to initiate deep, lasting change.
There's a lot of info out there on personal growth, but often this can lead to one becoming stuck on the surface of theoretical conceptualization. Embodiment offers a way to make these lesson learned a lived-part of your reality.
Think of it as an effective way to integrate timeless principles for a better living of life. Because until these principles become a habitual, automatic, visceral response, one lived through your body and nervous system, they aren't integrated.
Part of the coaching is helping you find a sustainable embodiment practice that serves your unique development.

The Integral Approach
Integral Theory has greatly shaped and deepened my understanding of myself, the world and my work as a bodyworker. Where applicable and when requested, I offer an integral framework to help facilitate your process.
Aspects of the integral approach include:
-
integrating the various aspects of your being
-
understanding the 4 quadrants and how it shapes your interaction with reality: (subjective interior, collective interior, objective exterior, collective exterior)
-
stages of development according to various developmental models
-
the embodiment of types (e.g. masculine and feminine, archetypes, personality types)
