As a spiritual coach, I am passionate about embodying the Divine in my daily life and inspiring my clients to take on this intention for themselves. I fall short at times, when I forget that All Life is Sacred. The times that most challenge me to embody my soul and remember who I am are when my body is in pain or sickness.

As a spiritual coach, the body is important to me. Coming home to your body means breathing into your root, staying present to feeling whatever sensations are alive in the moment. It means permission to feel what is present for you.

When I invite my clients to come home their bodies, some say, “I don’t want to be in my body,” or “I don’t want to feel my feelings.

Being embodied is a gift. Even so, occupying our bodies can be challenging. We are trained from an early age to live in our heads–and if we are lucky–our hearts. But what about living fully in our bodies?
