✨ The 4th Annual 12 Days of Embodiment Challenge is here! ✨

If the holiday season tends to leave you feeling scattered, tense, or running on empty — this is your invitation to pause, breathe, and shift your energy before you melt down 💫

From December 8th–19th, you’ll get a short, powerful video in your inbox each day — easy to follow, no prep required. Just press play, follow along with me for a short self care practice, and feel your body and mind exhale.

Each day will help you:
�✨ Soften tension in your body�✨ Create calm and clarity in your mind�✨ Feel lighter, more grounded, and at ease

Last year’s challenge was such a beautiful experience — participants shared how these simple daily practices brought more peace, presence, and joy into their busy days. I can’t wait to do it again with you!

This is your moment to show up for you — to create calm from the inside out and move through this season with ease and presence.

It is OK to pause before responding.

The pause is magical, because it gives you a chance to check in with yourself, your energy and your current focus or goals.

Instead of saying “yes” out of habit, or “no” out of overwhelm, you can ✨pause ✨ and really see what feels right for you.

When you pause, you create the space to ask yourself some questions.

“Do I have the capacity for this right now?”

“Would saying yes move me closer to my goals?”

“Does this feel heavy?”

“Would this be a yes with the right boundaries in place?”

“If I say yes, would I just be trying to prove that I am always helpful, responsible, a team player?”

To give yourself the pause, you can simply say, “Thanks for thinking of me. Let me get back to you on this.”

Do you need some help remembering to check in with yourself before saying yes?
Comment “boundaries “ below and I’ll send you my free resource on how to set boundaries with love!

If you feel exhausted, AND resting makes you feel ancy and uncomfortable, it’s a good idea to question what you BELIEVE about rest.

‘Cause if you believe you aren’t allowed to, aren’t supposed to, that everything will fall apart if you do, or you’ll be judged for it, then this is why you can’t shake feeling tired.

I can help you uncover AND reshape what you believe about your ability to rest. To PAUSE. To feel ok about setting things down for a minute.

I understand the fear and the restlessness that comes with learning to rest. It does get easier, but it takes understanding of why it feels this way and support to follow through with creating a new way of being.

But when you learn how to give yourself what you need, when you need it, without feeling the guilt or that you’re “letting everyone down”, the surprise twist is that you actually unlock greater productivity! 😲😲

Do you relate to feeling tired but unable to rest?

A few weeks ago, I was chatting with a dance friend/colleague after taking ballet class together, and she gave me the BEST compliment.

She told me that when I’m dancing, it really looks like I am partnering WITH my body, rather than FIGHTING against it.

I loved hearing this because I’ve been practicing the skill of making my body a trusted partner for the last several years, and this concept is at the heart of all the work I do.

When I’m teaching the Franklin Method, I’m helping my students understand more about how they are designed to move and function with ease and efficiency.

My coaching clients learn how to truly tune into themselves and TRUST the information that comes from within, and take action on it to change their lives.

So you can imagine that I was absolutely beaming from the inside out with this complement!

BUT…I haven’t always been this way.

I used to be a champ at ignoring my body. Pushing way past my limits, not resting enough, and feeling like my body was the enemy when it wasn’t doing what I wanted it to.

I blamed IT when I had an injury and thought it was just weak when I was exhausted. Judging it when I wasn’t able to perform the way I wanted to.

When I woke up with a neck tweak? “Ugh my stupid body can’t even sleep right! Now I have to fight through my day with this pain!”

I would push hard, do the bare minimum to help it recover, and then be mad at it when it let me down.

In fact, conventional wisdom tells us that THIS is the path to success.

But it’s not sustainable. Or pleasant for that matter!

Luckily there is another way to be….

When you learn to partner with your body all kinds of magical things can happen.

You trust yourself more.

Have more confidence.

You don’t get stuck spinning in indecision.

You feel lighter and move through your day with so much more ease. Not just physically but mentally and emotionally as well.

All in all, you get back to being YOU!

I’ve learned how to do it for myself, and I can help you do it too.
Send me a DM to find out more.

Any of these sound familiar? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Next week I am offering a free workshop on how to move through perfectionism without feeling like you will just be losing integrity in your work.
(Notice I’m not saying “blast through or stop trying to be perfect…there is a reason and we’ll talk about that at the workshop).
I’m offering it twice so pick the time that works best for you.
I will be sharing the exact process I use for myself and my clients, so if you struggle with this, don’t miss this!

Tuesday 2/25 at 4:30 pm
Or Wednesday 2/26 at 11:30am

✨There are some key differences between perfectionism and just having high standards or integrity in your work or how you do things.✨

In my upcoming FREE workshops, we’ll talk about what those points of difference are, and how you can start to use your attention to detail and willingness to do a great job as your SUPERPOWERS versus using it as something that slows you down and makes it hard for you to trust yourself.

Send me a DM for more info! I’d love to see you there.

Here are the ways we can work together this year!

✨ 1:1 Coaching
✨ VIP Experience
✨ Workshops (Franklin Method and my own signature workshops!)

It’s an honor to support my clients in undoing the faulty beliefs that are holding them back, and help them move forward with greater authenticity, freedom and ease in their lives.

If you’re curious, the best thing to do is book a free consult with me. We’ll get really clear about where you are and where you’d like to be, and I will outline for you what it would take to get there. If it feels good, we’ll chat about what it looks like to work together.

You can find the link to schedule in my bio.

It's back! On Dec 2, my 3rd annual 12 Days of Embodiment Challenge will begin.

Simply sign up to receive 1 video a day for 12 days to follow along with that will help you start to NOTICE your body and how you are feeling while strengthening the habit of connecting with yourself.

Each video will help you create feelings of ease, lightness and connection using some of my favorite Franklin Method practices. You'll learn a bit about your body and learn to create relaxed shoulders, ease through your jaw and face, just to name a few.
