“There is a wild and natural creature within every woman… All things long to be wild and free.”
— Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Those of us socialized as females are often taught to silence their bodies, restrict their movement, and perform a version of themselves that is acceptable to others—
through the pressures of diet culture, white supremacy culture, patriarchy, and broader social conditioning.
Over time, these messages can live in the body as tension, inhibited movement, shallow breathing, a constricted voice, and a subtle sense of being disconnected from your authentic self.
Chi for Two® Embodiment Coaching helps creative women and gender non-conforming people to gently release these patterns and reconnect with their natural vitality, movement, and expression.
This work invites you to move beyond the conditioned self you learned to perform and return to the deeper intelligence of your body—where choice, creativity, and authenticity live.

This work is for creative women and gender non-conforming people in midlife who want to:
Release unhealthy inhibited movement and tension held in the body
Reconnect with natural breath, rhythm, and energy
Break free from familial and cultural messages that have constrained their expression
Reclaim the power of their voice and speak their truth more freely in the world
Cultivate self-trust, creativity, and embodied presence
Apply newfound empowered energy to make a meaningful impact in the world
Embodiment is not just personal— it’s revolutionary. When you reclaim your body and expression, you reclaim your voice, your confidence, and the energy to contribute to your communities, your art, and your life purpose.

You might feel drawn to embodiment coaching if you notice:
Your body often feels tight, restricted, or held back in subtle ways
You feel disconnected from your natural movement, creativity, or vitality
You’ve spent much of your life being the responsible, good, or dutiful one
You notice yourself holding your breath, bracing, or containing your energy
Cultural messages about bodies, productivity, and self-control have shaped how you move and show up
You sense there is more life, expression, and freedom available in your body, but you’re not sure how to access it
You feel a longing to live with more authenticity, voice, and presence in the world
Many people learn to contain their natural energy in order to belong. Over time, that containment can show up in the body as unhealthy inhibition, tension, or a subtle feeling of being disconnected from yourself.
Embodiment Coaching offers a supportive space to begin listening to the body again.

Chi for Two® Embodiment Coaching is a mindful embodiment method. When we can sense in the cells of our bones how two person interactions effect our life force in and around our bodies, we have the key to heal multigenerational attachment patterns that give us permission or not to express our full navel radiance in the world. The method explores 40 different practices to support deepening embodiment.
Using the Chi for Two® Embodiment Method, sessions explore breath, movement, sensation, voice work and awareness to gently release patterns of holding that formed through life experiences and cultural conditioning.
“How do we free the wild?” In embodiment coaching, it happens between the two person dance of the coach and client, which replicates early infant parent dances that pattern nervous system functioning. This dance offers therapeutic redos that allow the wild - which in this work we recognize as “navel radiation” - to begin to flow more freely. And this process can be even more potent in groups!
As movement and breath become freer, many people experience:
Increased vitality and energy
Greater emotional expression and authenticity
Deeper self-trust
Renewed creativity and inspiration
A stronger sense of connection to their body
Mobilization to bring change to the world
This work is particularly powerful for highly sensitive and creative women in midlife who are ready to live with greater authenticity and embodied presence.
-
Embodiment Coaching sessions are collaborative, gentle, and paced according to your nervous system. Sessions may include:
Guided movement, art and sound expression
Exploration through the four emanations of embodiment:
Navel Radiation
Contralateral Movements
Gesture
Handling practices
Noticing and releasing patterns of tension or unhealthy inhibition inside and in relationship
Increasing your range of expression
Integrating a more expressed Authentic Self into everyday life
There is no pressure to perform or “do it right.” The body leads the way.
-
As people reconnect with their embodied self, they often notice:
A deeper sense of comfort and belonging in their body
More freedom in movement, breath, voice and expression
Increased creativity and vitality
Greater confidence in their voice and boundaries
A renewed connection to intuition and inner guidance
More energy available for meaningful relationships, creative work, and purpose
When the body is no longer organized around unhealthy inhibition of movements, that previously held energy becomes available for living, creating, and contributing to the world.

Begin Your Embodied Journey
Your body holds wisdom, creativity, and vitality that may have been waiting a long time to move and express freely.
Embodiment coaching offers a gentle space to listen again—whether individually or in a small group setting—so your energy, creativity, and authentic expression can return to the world.
Because beneath the conditioning and containment, your body still remembers how to live fully.
And the world needs the wild expression and contribution of us all now more than ever.
