Learning to love our bodies in this fast-paced, technologically advanced, western society is HARD. Learning to listen to our bodies, to hear their desires, their pains and needs can be even harder.

I am someone who knows first-hand what it is like to have a confusing and uncomfortable relationship with one’s body. To feel overwhelmed with sensations and symptoms, or not be able to process the many changes our bodies experience over a lifetime. To have been told or internalized that you are: wrong, not ‘normal’, too sensitive, too much, not enough, not worthy, too weak, or that what we have experienced in our bodies wasn't real, or valid. If any of these phrases resonate with you, you have made it to the right page!

While we want to believe that we can think through our problems and face our healing ‘head on’, the reality is that many of these techniques provide temporary band-aids or are first steps to a deeper level of processing. We must allow ourselves to feel. This is where reclaiming the body’s wisdom and sensory experience is pivotal in our healing.

Through my own personal and professional healing journey, I have learned that our bodies want to come back into balance. With the right support, compassion, and resources we can:

• Regulate and rewire our nervous systems from fight/flight/freeze to experiencing more ease.

• Increase our capacity to breath through discomfort

• Increase energy flow

• Heal shame

• Decrease physical discomfort and pain

• Advocate for our needs and boundaries

• Reclaim joy and playfulness

• Embrace our authentic selves

• Feel more deeply fulfilled in our relationships.
