E109: Presence and Purpose: Core Embodiment Practices in Somatic Coaching for Women
In this episode of my show Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul, I share a story from almost 30 years ago during my NLP Master Practitioner training. It was such a simple exercise - walking alongside someone and mirroring their pace and rhythm - but it taught me something profound about embodiment that I still carry with me today. I experienced two very different ways of moving through the world: one soft, wandering, and present, and the other purposeful, focused, and determined. Both felt good, both felt necessary. And that experience has shaped how I approach life, business, and the way I mentor and train others in my programmes.
In this conversation, I invite you to reflect on what qualities you are embodying right now, and whether they are truly serving you in the moment.
In this episode, I talk about:
Two ways of walking as a metaphor for life and business - and different qualities each one offers
How our bodies mirror our inner states through movement and rhythm
Why choosing the right embodiment for the right context matters
How posture, pace, and breath reflect presence and purpose - and how to consciously choose what's most needed
The way our 160-Hour Trauma-informed Somatic Teacher and Coach Certification supports women to embody both presence and focus in their practice.
