Coaching for Liberation + Embodiment

​

Using our innate body wisdom, mind-body practice tools, collaboration, spiritual connection, healthy ancestry + levity to support you in:

  • deepening trust and connection to your inner wisdom through mind-body exercises

  • determining and anchoring to what you value most and orienting from this anchor. 

  • recognizing the gifts, well-being, aptitude, assets and capacity you already possess, and giving these momentum in your day-to-day.

  • releasing perfectionism + binary thinking, allowing good enough + gray spaces + both/and

  • orienting from a place of compassion, curiosity and courage towards self + others

  • envisioning the future and moving towards it in embodied way

  • recognizing + engaging internal and external support 

  • noticing limiting narratives + supporting strategies to release limitations + expand your view

  • noticing where pervasive systems of oppression might limit you/us in mind-body-spirit, and supporting you in establishing boundaries, creating your own guidebook, establishing sustained support in playing by that guidebook

  • recognizing ourselves as part of the greater whole + our roles and contributions to the well-being of our communities.

​

 My approach is organized around the following principles: 

  •  we are all already whole and deepening into that wholeness

  • each of us possess gifts, aptitude, wisdom, access to inner wisdom/Source/spiritual guidance

  • we need not go it alone, nor are we wired for such 

  • all parts of ourselves are welcomed in the space - our core, critic, shame, ego, spirit, soul + more

  • you know yourself best, and I am your companion/support staff

  • self compassion + care can lead us to greater expanses and expression

  • we all deserve safety, unconditional love + respect

  • while we may not get to choose many of the folks and situations in our lives, but often do have some choice in where we center our minds + attention*, and what we want to glean from life situations. (*This looks different for different people, depending on how one's unique mind works.)
