What is feminine embodiment coaching?!
Embodiment stands for ‘inhabiting more of yourself’: reconnecting with who you are fully, letting your entire being reveal the knowledge it carries. Embodiment as a field of practice invites us to be with our bodily sensations, feelings, knowings, intuition. Besides, our only way of experiencing life is through our bodies. If we accept that the world is shaped by bodies, then how we carry ourselves is a reflection of how we envision our societies, our communities, our world.
We do not just have bodies in the world, we ARE bodies that MAKE the world.
The ‘Feminine’ (a quality that exists in all of us regardless of gender/gender identity/gender expression) is often oppressed or suppressed. We are told or taught to lead life in a linear fashion, always with an end goal in sight coupled with a sense of urgency to keep going regardless of. ‘Doing’ is synonymous with productivity while ‘feeling’ is equated with weakness. When I describe this, it makes me shrivel because it is devoid of pleasure and freedom. The ‘feminine’ invites us to slow down, feel deeply, to be open and receptive, to permit aliveness and joy to take up space and flow in our being.
‘Feminine embodiment coaching’, is a professional, trauma-aware, body-based coaching method. The coach does not lead, your body leads. The coach simply guides the process by holding a safe space and posing questions that can open new doorways for your body to reveal wisdom stored below the level of conscious awareness. In this way, goals are aligned with your desires and the actions or steps to take towards them do not trump how you want to feel.
We value FEELING before Action, DEPTH before Direction.
