Somatic Education

Why VISIBILITY has nothing to do with mindset!

Have you ever gone to an amazing weekend retreat, conference or class and come away pumped, primed and ready to take life on full force?

You felt like a NEW person and you were excited to get going!

You KNEW you’re ready to step forward. You were ready to show up and take the risk to be seen, to be heard, to have the impact you were born to have in your business and in the world. You thoughtfully put your plans and strategies in place to make it so.

For a while things shifted, you felt powerful and expanded.

But soon the energy and clarity of this experience dulled. You were left with some new awareness and some growth BUT nothing really changed.

The truth is, mindset approaches to change don’t stick. They seem powerful because they create new awareness and give us exciting new ideas and strategies about life. They promise a lot but sooner or later, the impact fades and we find ourselves once again coming up against our old patterns and results.

But let’s face it, real change is hard to sustain. Our STATE experiences simply don’t last, especially when we try to implement them at the level of the mind.

We all have hidden power blocks literally wired into our body - their evolutionary purpose is to keep us safe, but they’re limiting the results we are getting in our lives.

These conditioned patterns and survival reflexes have shaped our identity, how we move into the world, how we experience and perceive the world and how the world and life responds back to us.

Yes, it is possible to transformation our embodied patterns BUT to do that we need to go beyond MINDSET.

Awaken and Activate your Body.

Our bodies are full of intelligence and creativity. But we spend a lot of time in our heads cut off from our impulses and our deepest yearnings. This makes sense because we live in a masculine corporate world that values strategy and logic. But there is a cost. Especially for women.

For me and for so many of my female clients, being cut off from our body has led to being stuck in a state of force, stress and overextension or the opposite state numb, frozen and contracted.

Being disconnected from the inner wisdom of our bodies limits our joy, our feminine presence and our authentic ability to communicate 

Over the years I found that reconnecting to the body through breath, voice, posture, movement, and somatic awareness is THE most powerful, fun and effective processes for increasing your influence, success and impact.

The process of embodied change sticks. It will help you reorient your life away from contraction and toward expansion. It sustains over time because the changes you make are integrated in your body at the level of your nervous system, muscles, the way you move, what you perceive and how you behave.

Embodied change will awaken and activate our body’s natural impulses so that you can express yourself truthfully in the moment.

 When you include your body you will:

  • Calm your nervous system and create a fundamental platform of safety on which to get truly visible with your voice and your mission.

  • You’ll break free from the old story and step out to become fully expressed AS YOU while making an unprecedented contribution with your gifts and talents.   

  • You’ll become an unforgettable communicator who is able to create powerful and lasting impact establishing yourself as THE trusted authority in your market.

    AND …

  • You’ll do all this while feeling joyfully present and comfortable in your own skin, owning your true voice and playing a much bigger game in your life!

 “There has never been a more important moment when your voice and contributions have been needed on this planet” 

In my free workshop, we step through a powerful but gentle embodied process to acknowledge, feel and let go of what needs to shift - and - to fully sense into and ignite what’s truly possible for our future.

We are entering A new territory full of paradox and possibility

We are in NEW territory. The ground is shifting beneath us.

The way we are living and working in the world is rapidly changing leaving us with an incredible amount of uncertainty AND an incredible amount of NEW possibility.

Every single one of us is going over a THRESHOLD right now. A threshold into a new lived experience. It’s disorienting and potentially uncomfortable to our nervous system, our identity and to our long-held expectations of our future. 

Our challenge is to hold the paradox of the change, grief, and loss we are experiencing, while at the same time expanding with curiosity and excitement into the new territory of our lives, our mission ... and what we deeply desire to contribute.

Can you compassionately allow space for both your experience of letting go - and - of expanding to be true at the same time?

We know that it’s in the breakdown of matter where rapid new growth and evolution happens. We see this in nature in the decomposition of plants and organic matter back into soil that produces new life.  We see it in the seasons as we go from lush summer to the bitterness of winter which leads us again to spring.

What are you grieving? What old patterns and embodied stories do you need to let go of at this time. It is critically important to metabolize and process and honour what we are leaving behind.

What are you excited about? What is your deepest desire to move forward toward? This is important to ignite, mobilize and continue moving toward life!

You were born for these times. There has never been a more important moment, when your voice and contributions have been needed on this planet!

Yet, I have found that, in spite of being so strong and accomplished, many of us still struggle with the courage to speak our truth and step into visibility with our mission.

We are at a tipping point. We can no longer afford to dim down, play small or withhold our authentic voice.

  • It’s time to finally break free from your old story and step out to become fully expressed AS YOU.

  • It’s time to feel joyfully present and comfortable in your own skin, owning your true voice and playing a much bigger game in your life!

Embodied Transformation: The structure and process that can support you to move powerfully and gracefully through these times as you hold the paradox of grief and possibility, is found in awakening and activating your somatic body.

In my free workshop, we step through a powerful but gentle embodied process to acknowledge, feel and let go of what needs to shift - and - to fully sense into and ignite what’s truly possible for our future.

Let's walk over the THRESHOLD together.
