Hey, I have a question: What is your body for?
One of the intentions of is to help people access a healing experience of the body.
Many of us treat our bodies like a decorative object or a performance machine, like something that needs to be managed in a very serious and rigid way. It can be those things - God knows we live in a very superficial world that is obsessed with controlling and taming the body and makes a lot of money by instilling insecurity about the body.
What if instead we can experience the body as the sacred home we live in, as a conduit to personal power and pleasure and expression and joy?
As the founder of and a woman raised in LA who has practiced as a psychotherapist here for my entire career, I love the moment when this switch flips on for people in a session.
I love when their relationship to movement transcends mundane societal expectation. I love when it expands to become a metaphor for power, when the body becomes a conscious embodiment and expression of how they feel that helps them move through what's been making them suffer mentally and has been holding them back. When they stop punishing the body and seeing it with awe and respect. When they realize their body is their biggest ally.
