YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGURE OUT what comes next.
Somatic, body-centered coaching for women ready to stop surviving their life and start designing it—from the inside out.
If you're considering, starting of or in the middle of a major transition—a divorce, a career, a health crisis, or a relationship shift, you may feel like the floor has dropped out from under you.
You've done all the right things. You've been responsible, strong, and adaptable. You’ve shown up for others, taken care of things and gotten on with it. Now you're exhausted, unsure of who you are, and unable to hold everything together. Without all the titles that gave you a sense of who you are, you may feel like you’re falling apart.
That's exactly where this work begins.
What EMBODY & CREATE Can Do For You
Most coaching works from the neck up—analyzing, planning, and setting goals. Embody & Create is based in a somatic coaching paradigm whichworks differently. It starts with your body, because your body holds what your mind hasn't processed yet: the grief, the fear, and the old beliefs that keep running underneath everything you do.
Through a body-centered, somatic framework, informed by 20+ years of recovery work and the latest in nervous system regulation, we work together to:
Reveal the old stories and limiting beliefs held in your mind and buried in your body
Release the shame, guilt, and fear that have kept you small
Reclaim the truth of who you are to build a life that reflects who that is today
From there, we add in a roadmap to where you want to go next and tools to help you sustain in balance—body, mind and spirit.
This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming home to who you already are.
who is this for
You might be a woman in midlife who is navigating a divorce, the end of a long relationship or the start of menopause. You might be recovering from caregiver burnout after giving everything to a child, parent, or partner or discovering that you have lost a part of yourself. You might be facing a career pivot you didn't see coming, or learned to endure in a body that has changed. You might be sober, in recovery, or adjacent to someone else's addiction and ready to do your own healing or expand on the work you have already done..
Whatever brought you here, you're done waiting for permission to build the life you actually want.
my story, briefly
Just as I entered midlife, everything changed at once. My body shut down. My 20-year marriage dissolved. And my career ended. Depleted from years of caring for a gravely ill loved one, I had to learn to start over. This time, I chose to do it from the inside out.
I leaned on 20+ years of recovery work, added a somatic practice to inhabit my body again, and expanded my understanding of spirituality and myself. In doing so, I found my voice, claimed my story, and created the life I always wanted but was afraid to embody.
Now I help women do the same.
When we work one-on-one, I bring my professional background across multiple industries, my personal cross-cultural journey, and a deeply somatic approach to help you move through the full complexity of who you are.
We use the body, not just the mind, as a guide to get you unstuck, map out your next steps, and move forward with genuine confidence.
I work primarily with women who are:
Going through a major life transition (career, health, family, or relationship)
Experiencing loss (of a person, a dream, or an identity)
Providing care to a loved one (parent, partner, or child)
Navigating a divorce (or significant relationship change)
Struggling through menopause (and the identity shifts it brings with it)
In recovery, including healing from someone else's addiction
And because all sessions take place on Zoom, whether I am in my studio in Virginia or New York City, we can work together wherever you are.
