Suspending the incessant thoughts and judgements which can characterise modern life, we are encouraged through guided, not choreographed, movement to music to access the wisdom which exists within each of us.
“Embodiment and somatic work provides a language for expressing feelings and emotions which can supersede the ability of words.
The first time I was invited to embodiment session I joined it with a raised eyebrow and a great deal of scepticism. But after the 90 minutes session finished, I realised that I felt so different. Lighter. More open to possibility. Calmer. More positive. Unburdened. Surprised!
I pushed the resistance and attended many more such sessions with the amazing Susie Heath, with whom I have since had the great privilege and joy to study with over an 18-month period to Embodiment Coaching Academy certified embodiment facilitator.
For me, embodiment and the somatic healing which this has enabled has been the missing piece to help me on my journey of healing and personal development. I feel so much more comfortable in my own skin, and more grateful for the miracle of what my body does and enables, rather than castigating it for imperfections and disowning the body in which I am having my human experience. This, in turn, has enabled me to be more expressive and loving towards others and to feel more joyful and connected in life.
Resisting the resistance and getting over the doubt about this practice did not happen overnight. But I’m so glad that it did.”
In gratitude for the difference which this practice has made to her life, Trudie now supports others to benefit from the healing and wholeness which can come from movement and dance, connecting fully with oneself and others.
You can access embodiment with Trudie in the following ways:
Embodiment requires an open mind and the curiosity to explore where the movement journey will take us. It is suitable for all ages and abilities: each movement piece can be adapted to suit the needs and abilities of the individual.
“I love Trudie’s Embodiment sessions for their expert blend of gentleness, boldness, empowerment and experimentation. Trudie creates a safe and yet magical space where we can put aside our inner critic and explore and let our authentic self shine while learning to recognise, acknowledge and value all and every one of our emotions and creative urges. She opens a pathway to gradually draw us to the edges of our comfort zone and allows us to gently explore and expand beyond it ❤️”
“I loved the songs she chose and the whole session helped me to forget about anything and be in the moment.”
“It’s such a joy to experience Trudie’s warm and fun approach to this. It was a great way to connect with the group and shake off some stress and expectation. I struggle a bit with eye contact so preferred the reverence exercise to some others which was made very safe by having an option. I have wonderful memories of the session.”
