I can't explain it, but I can feel it.

As a massage therapist, when I started my coach training in 2020, I intuitively understood what "embodiment" meant. But as I started talking to people, I struggled to put it into words that people understood.

After the 47th time trying to explain what embodiment was to my mom, my best sounding board for these types of things, she asked for more clarification. Not only that, she wondered why embodiment was such an important part of the type of life coaching that I do.

I explained that when we live from a place of embodiment we are listening to our whole self. When we make choices from our whole self, the choices feel more aligned and we experience more satisfaction and happiness with our daily lives. It also helps give us confidence and courage to change things we have been tolerating for years. Which in turn, makes us thrive.

“Well that all sounds great, but what is embodiment?”

I would like to offer you the opportunity to experience embodiment. This is exactly what my Discovery Call sessions are; a free, no strings attached, conversation where you can experience what it is like to express yourself from an embodied space. You can schedule one at: www.puravidabodmind.com/book-appointments

"I am very skeptical of most activities and programs designed to help you become 'better than you are' or changing how you respond or feel. I’ve been critical of massage, counseling, yoga, and meditation, finding them to be comforting, but not the initiation of change. So, you can imagine how surprised I am to be so impressed by the BodyMind program! My focus was to build my confidence which had suffered when I was in a car accident two years ago. Through Mckenzie’s thoughtful guidance, I was able to confront things I didn’t realize needed confronting. I pushed out of my comfort zone and rediscovered how good it feels to try new things and to volunteer to help others. I learned to push back negative thoughts… even in my dreams! I was positively impacted by this program and hope to continue on with it in the future." Holly R.

This pandemic forced us to really take a closer look at our lives and our priorities. It helped us put into perspective what is important and what is not.

It helped me to realize that I was putting too much of my time into my massage practice. I was completely burned out but had not had the time to even notice. Sure my body hurt most of the time and I was consistently worn out, but I continued to shove more work into every free moment of my life. Because more work equals more money, and more money equals success.

When I was forced to take three months off and there was no work to focus on, I started to notice how much better I felt, physically and mentally. And when it was time to get back to work, I really didn’t want to. At least not to the way I was working before.

Making these realizations was very powerful and inspired big changes for me. Did you have a similar experience? What priorities did you notice need to shift in your life?

Some desired changes seem small, but in practice can feel difficult to sustain, like spending more time with family, trying to work less, or eating more vegetables.
Big changes like switching careers or getting out of a toxic relationship can feel even more daunting. They can seem impossible even when you know in your heart they NEED to happen.

How do you get started with something that huge? One step at a time, one small goal, followed by another.

What one small step might you take today?

Maybe your small step is setting up a call to talk with me about how I can help you achieve your goals—big and small.
