Embodiment is a practice of making your psycho-emotional-spirital tangible by becoming present to sensations in the body. It's focus is embracing the fullness of our physical existence and living life with presence, authenticity, and vitality. By honoring the body as a source of wisdom and insight, we recognize its central role in shaping our experiences and perceptions of the world.
Healing exists at all levels. Together, we explore the physical to access and engage the psycho-emotional-spiritual.
