Frequently Asked Questions

We learn how okay it is to embody, to be present in an exploratory way, to live with a variety of movement expressions, during our earliest experiences of life. The degree to which our early relational experiences tended to our physiological and relational needs to connect and separate, as well as our multi-generational patterning, sets a foundation for our nervous system patterning, movement expressions, and relational dances.

However, no one gets what is ideal. Sometimes we need reparative, relational experiences to reconnect with our core self in an effort for a more embodied and present journey through life along with healthier relational dances with others. A robust movement vocabulary, a rich quality of embodiment, helps us to be who we could be if we are loved no matter what.

Sometimes our head says one thing while our body knows another. Instead of continuously getting caught in a spiral of thoughts or prescriptive “shoulds,” practicing developmental and relational body-based awareness and practices allows one to slowly become more aware of their unique bodily rhythms, gut instincts and deeper hungers. Exploring a combination of nervous system psycho-education (how physiology and psychology merge) and trauma-informed relational practices paves the way for body-mind integration, healthier relationships, and a more deeply nourished life.

M-Bodied Coaching celebrates and supports all identities, ways of thinking, learning and being in the world. With a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach, we explore how your unique being can feel more satisfied, nourished and empowered from the inside-out.

Like various body shapes, food palettes, preferences for movement and play, interests in hobbies, and worldviews, your unique makeup and imprint in the world is what matters most and gets to explore taking up space, a little at a time, in the ways you want to move forward.

When “Mother” is referenced here, we are inviting the “mothering quality of oxytocin,” which plays a major role in signaling safety within our Social Engagement system functioning as related to nervous system science. Rather than focusing on gender, we focus on Mothering as a verb, an energetic quality of support. Therefore, those who identify as female, male, or non-binary may offer and embody that “Mother” quality.

Blending trauma-sensitive, polyvagal-informed, body-based practices with talk therapy is a hot topic in healing practices around the world and can be an intriguing path to process, learn and offer.
