SOMATIC AWAKENING &
EMBODIED INQUIRY
SESSIONS
My intention for our journey together is to hold a deeply safe and compassionate space for you to gently, curiously, tenderly explore/meet/resolve the things that get in the way. AWAKENING to the truth and wisdom that wants to guide you
so you can come to trust
your self, your authentic expression,
your intuition, the wisdom within,
your yes's and your no's
your voice
your heart
your body as your compass and wise companion on your own unfolding journey
At its deepest medicine Embodied Inquiry and Somatic Awakening is about falling in love with yourself.
It is about freeing your heart and the truth of who you are and what you want for your wild precious life.
It is about falling in love with the mystery of life. It is the emergence of your soul.
Behind the constant white noise of the to do lists, the distractions, more of everything, procrastination, doubt and self recriminations, frantic exercise, double shot coffees with magic mushrooms, behind the confusion, the numbness and/or the fear, is the stillness, we call her presence.
In this stillness is the space where your soul truth rests.
Her truth/your truth resides in the peace that is the center of you. She is waiting there for you to meet her.
Somatic Awakening and embodied inquiry are tools that help us regulate (create presence) within the automatic survival responses of your animal body, the autonomic nervous system. When we are working with the body, the internal sensing, the stories that live in the depths of our viscera, we get to meet and make space for all the parts of ourselves (soul retrieval ) through the language of the body;
You are precious.
and you absolutely deserve to have safe space to explore what gets in the way of reclaiming that.
Your thoughts, sensations, dreams, feelings and exiled parts that teach will teach you how to enter inwards and listen deeply.
The tools of Somatic Awakening, embodied inquiry and nervous system awareness give us the opportunity to befriend our bodies and make peace with our inner world helping awaken us to the fullness and the magic of this one precious life.
This is the gift that keeps on giving.
Through this we learn to gently open to and TRUST all parts of ourselves; to build capacity, resiliency and the possiblity that life is waiting for us to co-create WITH it, to be with all of you, and to trust your dreams and desires to become.
What you seek is also seeking you!!

what a somatic therapy/embodied inquiry session looks like
A session will be either online or face to face....... we will always begin with connecting or becoming aware to presence, through taking time to notice where you are, what your environment is like and what your are noticing within your body. We begin by creating and mapping safety and presence.
Listening to the language of the body is like learning a new language and it takes time, we will be taking things slowly so you really get to notice the little or big things inside of you.
A big part of our ongoing work together is building your ability to feel safe, that is also why we work slowly.
Somatic Therapy is not a quick fix, it is a journey to connection to your self and in a world that focuses on hyperstimulation and externally focusing it can take some time to learn to turn and listen within.
Within the slowing down and noticing you will have the opportunity to understand how your nervous system responds to your life, what your needs and your longings are so that you are building capacity to have more balance, compassion, space, self love in your life.
Each session for each person is different - what it offers is the gift of really knowing and honoring all parts of you so that life itself becomes a relationship you want to have.

WORKING WITH ME
"Working with Jody has been profound experience. I had been doing talk therapy for a year but felt like it wasn’t helping me work with the feelings my emotions were bringing up in my body. With Jody’s help I now have some tips to work with overwhelming emotions and physical sensations. Her compassion and empathy shines through and she makes you feel safe and gently guides you with your permission to look at difficult aspects of your life. She sees the essence of you so quickly. I would highly recommend working with Jody."
