As an intentional change and embodiment coach - my offering for those of you experiencing unemployment is to harness your energy to articulate and embody what you most desire in your life, to recognize and honor your needs, and make aligned conscious choices.

This process is particularly beneficial for those who are experiencing burnout or extreme stress. It's an opportunity to prioritize tenderness and self-care and use our time together to enhance your energy resources and create new healthy habits that will support you as you transition back into work and beyond.

❣️ If this speaks to you, please book a free discovery call with me to learn more.

❣️ Do you know someone who is unemployed and could benefit from free coaching? Please send them my info. If they're approved, you will receive a 50€ thank you gift.

Last week, I began to explore new depths of the intersection of neuroscience and somatic/embodiment work that I'm so enriched by. I'm bubbling with excitement that I get to continue my learning and growing from and with a community of practitioners lead by Amanda Blake and Richard Boyatiz, whose research and methodologies are beacons for me personally and professionally.

The poem below is in our welcome manual and is just a drip from the rich pool of knowledge I'll be swimming within and sharing with you.

What I Know of Neuroscience

I want to say the body is fluid
a state of being, not a noun
the body is liquid
I want to say that the cells
underneath the cells you see
are no less alive in their hiddenness
possess an intelligence all their own
if only we'd listen to it and believe it
if only someone told us how
like learning our a b c's,
how to read the spirit
behind the letters, behind words
like diving into a book you love
holding that life in your hands
with its spine keeping all those words safe
I want to say the skin
I want to say the heart
I want to say the gut
look up at the night sky
with its pinpricks of light—
the same light lives inside you
converse with its bloody beauty
let it echo the sun's rising over piñon-spotted hills
name what pulses in you
begin from that
ask questions
let your belly answer
if you dare to look underneath that organ
of skin that's always touching
the world, what are you made of?
there's electricity there
enough
to generate your life.

I'm continuously touched by the courage, vulnerability, and honesty of those of you I have connected with during your search for coaching support.

Thank you for sharing and allowing me to be a witness to your journey. I'm humbled and inspired by you.

We're in an era where humans are aware of our capacity to evolve consciously and are stepping into that responsibility.

I believe that coaching is in service to this and I serve to help others - like you, connect with their humanity and in turn, I connect more with mine.🙇‍♀️

The free coaching that I offer for those registered as unemployed in Germany is fueled by a desire to shift this belief from shame to empowerment.

If you are currently in this situation, I invite you to take this opportunity to dedicate yourself to a process designed to help you identify what truly serves you, create new positive habits, and clarify your unique offerings.

I support you to embody that which you most desire in your work and life—the whole World benefits when people are doing the work they are meant to be doing.

How can we approach change without producing struggle and having it be just another thing on our to-do list?

What I often hear from clients when they talk about the change they seek is the 'work' that has to be done.

By shifting from goal orientation to quality orientation it allows more integration of what we want for ourselves, whether it's more self-confidence, success, empathy or joy, etc.

By approaching change through this quality orientation, we perceive changing less about 'doing the work' as selecting the qualities we wish to embody.

Identifying, articulating, and integrating the qualities we wish for allows the shifts to occur in an easeful way because we invite them to be more present in our lives and live into them incrementally until they naturally emanate from us.

How does this approach to change resonate with you?

'Something doesn't feel right and I can't quite put my finger on it.'

Does this sound familiar to you?

Often our response is to ignore it -- brush it off, and carry on. 'I'm too busy', or 'it will work itself out', we say to ourselves.

It's in these moments that we're being offered an opportunity to explore what isn't serving us and what's eating up our energy reserves. With the commitment to self-exploration, there is space to create intentional shifts so you can contribute to your work and life from a place of hope, joy, vitality, and clarity.

Welcome to Movement Monday's #6! (A little late because of upload issues, appologies!)

I hope you've been enjoying these weekly movement sequences.

If you are interested in joining me for a deeper exploration of embodied mindful movement, I have online and in-person classes available. Follow the link in my bio to learn more.

This week includes dynamic movement for the spine. We are on our hands and knees in a tabletop position, so please have a blanket nearby in case you need some extra padding.

See you next week!

Welcome to Movement Monday's Week 5.

Today's session is intended to create space through the neck (cervical) and upper (thoracic) spine and activate the whole body through movement flow.

For those who often feel low back pain, I invite you to keep the legs bent and focus on stabilizing the pelvis in the beginning, when we are intentionally mobilizing the neck and upper back.

Move only as much as you are able to keep the pelvic stable until we begin to move into the hips and low back. Exploring the opposition of stabilization and mobilization.

Enjoy and as always, I'm here if you have any requests or questions!

Have a beautiful week.
Gratia

My dears, I feel as though we're emerging from hibernation and have awakened to a new world. It's time to share the changes that have transpired for me during our global pause in hopes that they allow for us to reconnect in nourishing ways. During the past year, I did deep work to crystalize what I....
