🗣️ The Power of the Athlete’s VOICE

Athlete mental health and safety depend on empowerment. Too often, athletes fear speaking up about training, treatment, or abuse—due to fear of retaliation.

At AbunDANCE Somatic Center, we recognize that finding your voice is a full-body experience. Somatic work helps athletes:

Heal from trauma: Releasing the stored impacts of silence or abuse in the body.

Set embodied boundaries: Physically knowing and asserting what is healthy and safe.

Reclaim agency: Moving from a place of fear to a place of inner power and confidence.

We are committed to helping athletes be empowered, listened to, and believed. A safe athlete is one who can fully own their voice and worth.

If you or an athlete you know needs support in finding their voice and healing from systemic pressures, explore our services.

The most important relationship you have is with yourself. ❤️

Cultivate self-love and embrace your own worth. This isn’t just a feel-good quote; it’s the foundation for true healing and fulfillment.

Self-love, in a somatic sense, means listening deeply to your body’s needs, honoring your boundaries, and trusting your inner wisdom. It’s an embodied practice, not just a mental exercise.

When you fully embrace your worth:

You regulate your nervous system more easily.

You attract healthier relationships.

You make choices aligned with your authentic self.

Start your journey of embodied self-love today.

Ready to dive deeper into your inner landscape? 🧭

At AbunDANCE Somatic Center, we use these Foundational Questions to guide our exploration into your behavior, thoughts, and feelings. This is how we move from thinking about change to embodying it.

WHO: Exploring your authentic self, roles, and sense of belonging. (Example: "Who are you when you are alone?")

WHAT: Noticing the facts, events, and immediate feelings present right now. (Example: "What fascinates you?")

WHY: Uncovering the underlying beliefs, reasons, and causes for your patterns. (Example: "Why did that event impact you?")

HOW: Finding new methods, ways, and steps to create lasting change. (Example: "How does that work?")

The answers aren't just in your mind—they are found in your body's wisdom. Start with one question today, and let your body answer.

Are you living in your head or in your body? 🤔

Most of us spend our days lost in thoughts, disconnected from the incredible wisdom and intuition our bodies hold. This state of disconnection is often the root of anxiety, stress, and feeling lost.

Embodiment is the practice of coming home.

It is the practice of fully experiencing and connecting with your body in the present moment. By connecting to your physical sensations, you can:

Heal and release old patterns and painful emotions.

Increase self-awareness and self-compassion.

Become less reactive and more grounded in everyday life.

Are your mind and body communicating? (Hint: They never stop.) 🗣️

The Mind-Body Connection is the intricate, bi-directional relationship between our thoughts, emotions, and physical health. When you’re stressed, you feel it physically; when you change your posture, your mood shifts. They are not separate!

In our latest blog post, we introduce this core concept, backed by fields like psychoneuroimmunology, and invite you to try two simple experiential exercises right now!

➡️ Ready to feel the connection? Read the post to find the exercises (like the “Happiness Position”) and learn how to practice observing your internal state without judgment.

The mind-body connection is the intricate, bi-directional relationship that exists between our thoughts, emotions, and physical health and the body. What is important to note here is that we are talking about a connection. The mind and the body are not two separate entities, rather they are intercon

The belief that athletes are “protected” from mental health issues is a myth. 💔 It’s time to talk about the stigma.

Mental health issues affect athletes at rates similar to the general population, yet many hesitate to seek support. Why? Our new post explores the factors contributing to this silence:

The “Mental Toughness” culture that equates seeking help with weakness.

The Fear of Judgment or social exclusion.

The high pressure of Performance Environments.

The role of cultural, social, and historical biases.

We are committed to breaking the silence. Read our introduction to the stigma surrounding athlete mental health and Sport & Performance Psychology (SPC). Thank you for being part of the conversation!
