How To Listen To Your Body.png

YOU HAVE A BODY.

It speaks through sensation, impulse, contraction, expansion.
Most of us were never taught to listen.
But the language is still there. And you can learn it.

THE CALL IS COMING
FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.

What are you feeling right now? Pause for a moment and scan your body. What do you notice? If it feels manageable, witness what’s arising in your body or mind. If you don’t notice anything, that’s okay too. Observe it with curiosity, without trying to change or judge it. Simply let it be. Our bodies are always speaking to us—sometimes in whispers, sometimes in shouts. These sensations are invitations to pause and listen.

ATTENTION IS TRANSFORMATIVE

When we begin to notice our embodied emotions, we uncover the patterns that shape us—creating space to rediscover a deeper sense of agency. With awareness, we can begin to make conscious choices that align with what we truly want, rather than relying on patterns that may no longer serve us. 

TITRATE EXTERNAL MESSAGES

We receive an endless stream of messages from family, culture, and society that can shape our default settings. It’s up to us to discern where those influences align with our true selves and where they don’t, letting go of what doesn’t serve us to remember what we truly long for in life. 

DO THE WORK

  • CATALYST

    Early in life, we are often forced to choose attachment over authenticity in order to receive care. We learn that love can feel conditional. So, we create a ‘protective self’ to preserve our most vulnerable parts and establish patterns we trust will keep us safe.

  • STAGNANCY

    As our lives progress, we repeat these patterns, entrenching ourselves in a belief system we may not even see. Over time, that ‘protective self’ becomes a dense network of defenses (repression or reactivity) keeping us stuck in old cycles. 

    BEGIN TO FEEL YOUR FEELINGS. →

  • AWARENESS

    With time, we become open to new information and experiences, giving ourselves permission to fully feel whatever arises. This often requires great vulnerability and may be uncomfortable in ways our bodies have learned to resist. 

    STICK WITH IT. LEARN A NEW WAY. →

  • AGENCY

    Remaining grounded in the present moment allows us to make choices that honor what we long for, rather than what we believe others expect of us. When we courageously  continue to choose the life we truly want, a more authentic sense of self begins to emerge.

EMBODIED CREATIVITY

As an artist and creative myself, I know what it’s like to feel stuck and disconnected from your work, unsure how to begin again. That’s why I work with creatives and artists of all mediums to move through creative blocks, reconnect with their gifts, and rediscover the spark. Whether you’re stuck in the middle, afraid to begin, or just feeling far from your own voice—we work together to help you return to the source of your inspiration, so you can begin (or finish) the work that's calling to be made.
