Somatic Embodiment Coaching

1:1 Coaching

Create a sacred, soulful, sensual life. Experience deep self love. Journey inward to discover your greatest source of joy, pleasure and passion!

Hello Sacred Soul,

I see you.  You may be feeling like life is passing you by and you’re not fully living it.  You may feel numb and disconnected from your body and your intuition.  On the outside your life looks fine, but inside you feel stuck, stagnant and dull.  You love the people in your life dearly but may feel a lack of intimacy or like you’ve lost yourself inside of those relationships.  You may feel broken and are constantly looking to outside sources to fix you, to make you feel whole again.  You might feel a sense of temporary joy and aliveness only to fall back into the same rut over and over again.  You understand the concept of self love but have yet to really feel it.  

Or… maybe you’ve done the work and life is good but you are now ready to take it to the next level. You are ready to step fully into your power, experience deep connection to the ecstatic pulse of life and be of sacred service to this world that desperately needs your gifts.

This journey is for you if…

You long to feel passion and deep connection in all areas of your life. You yearn to experience the sacred in the mundane. You dream of a more sensual, pleasure-filled existence and a loving, compassionate relationship with your body. You crave clarity on your deepest, soul-centered desires and want to know how to truly embody them. You aspire to trust yourself and your own intuition rather than constantly seeking advice and validation outside of yourself. You’ve done healing work- worked with a therapist, taken a course or workshop, practiced yoga and meditation, read dozens of self help and personal development books- and still have habits, patterns or blocks that you can’t seem to shift. You are open to exploring your pleasure and resistance honestly and holistically. You’re ready to go deep. You desire deep transformation and are willing to invest the time, work and money it takes to get there.

 

Come close.  I want to tell you a secret.

The keys to experiencing your deepest desires are all within.  I am not here to give you the answers or tell you how to live… I am here to hold deep space for you to process the resistance that’s holding you back and guide you back home to yourself.  I am here to ask questions that lead you back to your own innate wisdom.

“Whenever I think of going outside of myself for answers, I now can turn inward - because I know the truth is within.  These are words that have been spoken to me for many years in yoga classes, etc, but meeting with Heather was transformational in this knowing.”

— Meg C.

I created this coaching container because I know what it’s like to feel dried up and disconnected from my body, intuition and life itself even after decades of riding the self help, personal development and wellness train.  I know what it’s like to give so much to others that you feel like you have nothing left for yourself.  For years, I felt like I was just going through the motions of life and spent my energy putting on a show to make people think I had my shit together.  Secretly I felt like I was broken and kept looking outside myself for something or someone to fix me.  I believed that I could only really have a relationship with myself once I did everything perfectly. Over the years I experienced moments of clarity and awakenings- often after attending a workshop or retreat- only to fall back into old habits and patterns that weren’t serving me.  It wasn’t until I started working with my teacher, Layla Martin, that I began to feel that I was never broken.  I was re-introduced to my wholeness.  I began to find wisdom in my darkness and was able to finally accept the parts of myself that I previously had hated and tried to hide. I discovered how to integrate all parts of myself.  I went from feeling numb to feeling ecstatic pleasure.  I went from feeling dried up to feeling sensual and deeply connected to my body.  I went from feeling broken to feeling whole, wild and free.

Throughout my journey to wholeness, I discovered…

The body is incredibly wise and holds all of the answers to our deepest questions.

Working with our parts, rather than against them, is key to shifting beliefs and patterns that no longer serve us.

We are already whole. We do not need to be fixed. We simply need to reclaim the lost and repressed parts of ourselves.

For true change and transformation to occur, we must address all parts of the brain and nervous system.

“I was impressed from start to finish with Heather’s ability to hold a sacred, calm, and non-judgmental space for me as I moved through emotional and physical discomforts. I felt held in her presence, but not coddled. She has a lovely ability to ask questions that press gently beneath the surface of what I presented to her to dig up the root of my thoughts, feelings, and reactions. I appreciate her allowing me to bump up against uncomfortable realizations and encouraging me to be curious about them and not fearful of them.”

“Heather comes to her work with tremendous skill and humility. She does not offer empty advice, instead she listens from a place where her experience and intuition guide her. Our sessions were powerful and creative. She offered me opportunities to make my own discoveries. All said, the experience was new, rewarding, and quite memorable.

What’s holding you back, love?

“I don’t have time.” 

I hear you.  I’m a mother to two busy girls, a wife, coach and entrepreneur.  The beautiful thing about this work is that you can spend as much or little time outside of the 1:1 sessions as your life allows and still receive tremendous value. This is about making your current life more sacred and magical, not completely overhauling your life (unless, of course, you want to).

“I don’t have the money.”

This might very well be valid.  However, I often find that when people say they don’t have the money, what they are really saying is they don’t feel like their spiritual and emotional well-being is worth the money.  While we explore worthiness in depth in coaching, for now let me remind you…you are worthy.  If you legitimately cannot afford coaching right now (for example, you frequently stress about meeting your basic needs, have little to no savings, cannot afford vacations or time off) but still desire deep transformation and are willing to show up fully, please fill out an application anyway.  I am willing to offer a sliding scale if money is truly an obstacle.

“I’m too tired, stressed, overwhelmed, etc.”

Again, I hear you.  I have felt all of these things (and still do!) and the thought of adding one more thing can feel like it will send me over the edge.  However, what I’ve experienced is the opposite.  The tools we explore in coaching have been the very remedy I’ve needed to feel more alive, connected and energized.

“My experience with Heather was truly transformative. My overarching goal in my sessions was to connect with my intuition and Heather creatively guided me towards my own deep wisdom. I appreciated Heather’s adaptability and intuitive coaching- she adjusted the practices to meet me where I was at in the moment so that I could get the most out of it.”

— Ashley N.

FAQ’s

“Is this coaching container only for women?” 

This coaching container is for anyone who desires deep inner transformation. However, my experience and training in the realm of sexuality is limited to those who identify as cis-gendered women.  If you currently do not identify as a cis-gendered woman but are still interested in that type of coaching, please feel free to email me at heather@sacredrhythmswellness.com.  I would be happy to help you find a coach that could better fit your needs.

“How is your style of coaching different from other life coaches?”

In this coaching container, we marry the sacred and the scientific.  This coaching methodology is rooted in Classical Tantra- an ancient spiritual system, a path of liberation, that was created 3,0000-5,000 years ago in South Asia- somatic psychology and modern neuroscience.  We address all parts of the brain to liberate unconscious blocks that keep you from embodying your deep soul-centered desires. I also practice a method of coaching known as parts work. Parts work is based on the idea that we all have many parts- or personalities- within us. Many of these are Inner Child parts. The intention of parts work is to reclaim the lost or repressed parts of ourselves, liberate parts from the burdens they carry and the roles they no longer want to play and integrate all of our parts, bringing them together to harmonize with one another and offer their own unique gifts and wisdom.

What is embodiment coaching?

One of my favorite definitions of embodiment comes from Dr. Hillary McBride. She says “embodiment is reclaiming the body as the central place where we experience life.” To me, embodiment is about cultivating deep trust and safety in our bodies. It means fully inhabiting the inner landscape of our bodies and sourcing our deepest wisdom that lies in the very sensations that accompany every thought and emotion. It’s not just cognitively understanding that we are whole just as we are, it’s knowing it with every fiber of our being. It’s our deepest truth expressed through every word, action and decision we make. Embodiment coaching is guiding you back home into your body where the answers to your questions live.

“Should I do coaching if I have a history of trauma?”

While I am a trauma-informed coach and have completed several deep somatic trauma trainings, I am not a trauma therapist.  If you have experienced acute and/or complex trauma, I recommend working with a trained trauma therapist before entering into a coaching relationship.  If you are currently working with a therapist, please advise them of your desire to work with a coach.  If both you and your therapist agree that this an appropriate container for you, I would love to set up a Discovery Session to see if we are a good fit.

“What kinds of things do we work on in coaching?”

We start by unearthing your desires for coaching and identifying the resistance that’s holding you back from fully thriving in your life. From there, the journey is customized to your unique path. We might work on healing your Inner Child, learning to parent yourself, self trust and worthiness, liberating stuck emotions, integrating the shadow self, reclaiming your sexuality and pleasure and so much more. Again, each person comes with their own unique desires, experiences and conditioning. We will work intuitively with what’s present, allowing the journey to unfold in the most organic and empowering way.

“Working with Heather was truly a transformative experience. From the moment our first session began, I felt at ease. I felt safe. I felt held. Her ability to hold sacred space without judgement and only acceptance and love, allowed me to do the deep dive within that was necessary for me to come out the other side. The amount of emotional baggage that I was carrying was heavy. I knew the answers to overcoming my obstacles intellectually, but I could not feel the knowing in my heart. Heather expertly guided me through a number of practices that empowered me to walk through my pain and overcome the resistance I had been holding onto for so long.  She was a loving witness, without taking away my power. Through this guidance and witnessing, I was able to find my way back Home to my own knowing, my own wisdom, my own sacred Truth. Working with Heather enabled me to truly integrate the wisdom of my mind, body and spirit.  I am forever changed. I am forever grateful.”

Dive in, Dear One…

“Go in and in. Be the space between two cells, the vast, resounding silence in which spirit dwells. Be sugar dissolving on the tongue of life. Dive in and in, as deep as you can dive. Be infinite, ecstatic truth. Be love conceived and born in union. Be exactly what you seek, the Beloved, singing Yes, tasting Yes, embracing Yes, until there is only essence, the All of Everything expressing through you as you. Go in and in and turn away from nothing that you find.”

-Danna Faulds
