There’s a shift that’s calling. It’s an invitation to become someone new in relationship to yourself, your leadership, your work, your boundaries, your voice, and your life.

Embodied transformation is the process of aligning how you lead, relate, and move through the world with what you most deeply value. This alignment isn’t just intellectual; it lives in your body, nervous system, relationships, and everyday choices.


Together, we’ll explore the patterns that shape how you respond under pressure, connect with others, navigate uncertainty, and care for yourself as you navigate leading in this messy, complex, and often difficult world. 

This work is especially powerful for queer leaders, helpers, creatives, and change-makers who are tired of “performing wellness” and ready for something more honest, sustainable, and fully humanized.

What is Embodied Transformation?
Embodied transformation is change that lives beyond insight alone.

It’s one thing to know you deserve rest, boundaries, confidence, or connection. It’s another thing to actually feel those things when stress, conflict, fear, or old survival strategies arise.

In somatic and embodied coaching, we explore the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, nervous system, body, relationships, and conditioned patterns. Together, we build awareness, resilience, and new practices that help you move toward the life and leadership you truly want.

What we’ll do together
Over five 50-minute sessions, we’ll slow down enough to notice what’s really happening beneath the surface and begin practicing new ways of being with intention, care, and support.

Our work might include:

  • Untangling imposter feelings and building leadership confidence
  • Exploring the embodied patterns that emerge under stress or conflict
  • Strengthening emotional intelligence and relational skills
  • Moving from burnout and survival mode toward greater sustainability
  • Clarifying values, desires, and next steps
  • Practicing boundaries, self-trust, or more grounded decision-making
  • Reconnecting with your own wisdom, needs, and longings
  • Building nervous system awareness and resilience practices
  • Experimenting with new relational patterns and leadership behaviors

Over the arc of our work together, we’ll generate new insights, practice, reflect, integrate, and notice what shifts over time.

This work is collaborative, reflective, practical, and deeply compassionate. You do not need to “have it together” to begin.

Why this work matters right now
We are living through intense collective pressure. Capitalism, white supremacy culture, queerphobia, transphobia, chronic uncertainty, isolation, and burnout all shape how our nervous systems learn to survive. Many queer folks become incredibly skilled at adapting, masking, over-functioning, shrinking, people-pleasing, or staying guarded.

Those patterns make sense; they’re often wise responses to the environments we’ve had to navigate. 

And…when we use them for too long, they stop helping us become who we want to be. 

Somatic coaching offers a supported space to slow down, reconnect to yourself, and experiment with new ways of being.

I offer this package on a sliding scale to support greater accessibility and collective care.

💜 Supported Tier: $550–$725
For folks with limited access to wealth or income, including those impacted by systemic barriers.

💜 Standard Tier: $900
For folks with steady income, some financial stability, and the ability to pay without significant hardship. This rate reflects the true cost of the work.

💜 Pay-It-Forward Tier: $1,075–$1,250
For folks with greater access to disposable income, savings, or financial privilege. This tier helps subsidize lower-cost spots and expand access for others in the community.

Choosing Your Rate
You’re welcome to choose the rate that feels right. No applications, no justifications, no proof required.

If you’d like support discerning where you land, the Green Bottle Sliding Scale by Worts & Cunning can be a helpful guide — though it may not capture every nuance of your lived experience. Trust yourself to know what’s right.
