What exactly *IS* feminine embodiment coaching?

When I first started training in this modality of feminine embodiment coaching, everyone around me had a hard time grasping the idea.

Do you have somewhere in life where you feel like you’re not measuring up? Where you’re being hard on yourself? Feeling bad about something that happened? Or feel like you’re failing in some area?

If you’re wondering if you might be living disembodied, here are 5 common signs, as well as what embodied living looks like!
