Emotional Body is a somatic, introspective, and connective group program for women who are seeking to foster greater ease, understanding, and resiliency in their bodies, relationships, and emotional lives.

In this attuned, small group program, we will learn about the impact of trauma on the nervous system; deepen understanding of the ‘why’ behind our patterns and how to actually shift them; see and be seen in our vulnerability and our power; and practice everyday somatic tools to rewrite our blueprints and thrive.

ABOUT ME + EMOTIONAL BODY (Video!)

In our four sessions together, we will:

  • Delve into the science of the nervous system, learn how it directs our emotional states, and discover how to tenderly work with it—including as a highly sensitive/neurodivergent person.

  • Learn how trauma gets lodged in the body and how to gently and effectively transform emotional holding patterns*.

  • Practice somatic techniques—including grounding exercises, breath/meditation, and mindful movement—to navigate emotional triggers, stay resourced during stressful moments, and build greater overall capacity to field overwhelm, anxiety, and difficulty in life.

  • Expand our ability to trust ourselves and connect to our intuition as an infinitely wise and valuable guidance system.

  • Develop personalized strategies to integrate these tools into daily life for ongoing emotional resilience and well-being.

  • Be held in a nurturing, respectful, vulnerable, and joyful space within the group to cultivate authentic connection, shared wisdom, and personal growth.

*I am a somatic emotional health coach; I am not an LMFT or LCSW. If you are currently experiencing acute PTSD or cPTSD, please seek support from a licensed clinician <3.

“After years of raising kids, building a career, and now navigating perimenopause, my nervous system was wrecked. Emotional Body gave me practical tools to actually move through dysregulation instead of just surviving it.

Meredith is calm, patient, and knows her stuff. The women in the group made it even richer. Four weeks well spent!!!”

— Alisha Baurer, Emotional Body participant
