Embody You is a live Virtual Workshop for Women of Color (Trans Inclusive).
A soft, gentle space to come back home to your body & yourself for nervous system regulation, a sense of inner-peace, & restoration.
There is no charge of this workshop. No experience of any kind needed just the desire to exhale (literally & metaphorically) & be with yourself, in community. Practitioners and non-practitioners alike are welcomed.

Set Yourself Up to Receive the Maximum Benefit:
Quiet, uninterrupted space: Arrange your schedule so that you will not be interrupted during this time.
Comfort Items: Bring water or tea. Bring pillows and blankets and set up your space so there’s room to sit, stand, move, and/or lie down. This space is all about reconnecting to yourself and taking the time to prioritize your comfort.
Supplies: Bring journaling and art supplies for moments of self-reflection and insight.
What You’ll Experience:
Workshop Introduction
Guided Somatic Practice: You’ll be guided through an embodiment practice that’s intended to help you reconnect with heartspace, body, and mind and gently ease tension.
Personal Self-Reflection: There will be time to use journaling and art to note your experience and self-reflections.
Group Share, Questions: There’ll be an option to share. Healing happens when we can be safely seen and heard.
I’ll take the last 3 mins or so to share how you can continue and deepen into your healing journey with me.
My Healing Journey
I am passionate about supporting professional women of color in being able to see their innate value. Perhaps like you, I have overcome a lot in my life including familial trauma along with systemic trauma and marginalization as a Black woman and lesbian. I’m 43 years old and have spent the last 25 years or so committed to not only healing but actually thriving in my life. Through the course of my healing journey I came to realize just how much I internalized external messages of not being enough. Paying attention to how I talk to myself and treat myself has been the single most impactful thing I’ve ever done in my life. I’ve seen my life transform from the inside out from treating myself like my own kind and loving friend. It’s my calling to support you in doing the same. I’m also passionate about including body oriented healing practices as well as mindfulness into therapy which results in a healing process that feels nourishing to the mind, body, and soul.
