FAQs
How do I know if embodied spiritual practice is right for me?
People come from all walks of life, of all ages, and across a wide spectrum of faith expressions — sometimes from no particular tradition at all. What draws someone to Embodied Spiritual Sessions often includes:
Experiencing losses, or shifts that have changed how you see yourself, your relationships, and your connection to the Sacred, and wanting to process these experiences.
Feeling spiritually isolated and desiring a safe space to share your authentic, vulnerable self — to be seen, heard, and felt fully.
Wanting to cultivate groundedness and centeredness, exploring new spiritual practices that integrate bodily awareness with reflection and insight.
Questioning old beliefs, and seeking space to deconstruct assumptions, explore new perspectives, and embody your own sense of truth.
Discerning potential life shifts or changes, and needing a way to sense and navigate them through both intuition and felt experience.
Desiring growth in self-awareness by noticing patterns in thought, feeling, and body, and practicing how to integrate new insights into your lived, embodied experience.
What is the difference between embodied spiritual sessions and counselling?
There are similarities between the two, as both create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to be heard. Embodied Spiritual Sessions are, at their core, an experience of meaning-making that engages body, mind, and heart. The major differences lie in the facilitator’s role as reflector and guide, helping you to remember and feel your own voice.
This space is not about advice, problem-solving, or fixing; it is about learning how to listen — to your thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and inner wisdom. Together, we sit with, honor, and allow experiences to be felt fully in the body, without needing to move immediately to action or solutions. It’s a practice of embodied presence, cultivating awareness, acceptance, and a deeper connection to yourself.
How often do we meet?
This is a relationship built upon entering sacred, embodied space on a regular basis, the average being about once a month. This varies depending on your needs. Some prefer meeting every three weeks, and for others six to eight. Sessions are scheduled at a pace that honors your body, mind, and heart, giving you time to process, integrate, and feel the insights and experiences between meetings.
How do I prepare for a session?
Every person’s style is different, including how they approach their session. Here are various ways that folks prepare:
come with a topic or broad theme to explore
bring your journal from the past month
share an experience or story that you want to understand more fully
offer questions that you have been struggling with
describe patterns that you are noticing in yourself
Are there other opportunities outside the 1:1?
Often the spiritual journey can feel a little isolating and we want to find other folks to walk alongside us. Or maybe you are curious to try an offering with a shorter commitment. Check out the offerings like Groups, Workshops, and Retreats that are crafted to offer community, support, and exploration on a short-term basis.
Is there an end?
Some people come to Embodied Spiritual Sessions for a particular season of life, while for others it becomes an ongoing practice of tuning into their body, mind, and heart. Your own felt experience and discernment will guide the rhythm and length of your journey.
