About My Work
Body fluency, Body freedom.
Self fluency, free Self.
I’m here to help you stop managing/fearing/suppressing symptoms, unchain yourself from all the “health/healing stuff” you think you need, step outside of the disease-diagnosis-problem model and instead learn the language + intelligence of your Body and the symptoms, sensations and emotions it speaks through.
Learning the language of your Body is your ultimate access point to freedom.
Because as you become fluent, your locus of control moves from outside of you to completely within you; and you are able to tap in to the great Resource that your Body is.
Going beyond your symptoms means seeing not only the symptom at its physical level but seeing & hearing what is being communicated through it.
Common examples:
—Unmet Needs
—Unprocessed experiences, trauma + emotions
—Stuck nervous system ‘charges’
—Survival patterning + adaptations
—Signals of self-betrayal/self-abandonment
—Misalignments in your life
—Blocked self expression/not saying what you mean + meaning what you say
—Literal physical needs like: dehydration, lack of rest, overexertion, need for nutrients + minerals, over-accumulation of stress/toxicity, impaired detox pathways, etc.
Contrary to what we’ve been taught, symptoms are not something to fear, but a language to be learned. And they are not reserved solely for the physical body; they also show up in our lives (again, interconnected + bi-directional).
As humans, particularly in modern society, we spend thousands of dollars and thousands of hours learning about a subject, culture, field of study, religion, spiritual teachings, etc etc. We will become certified, licensed, degreed, or self teach/research til the cows come home; and yet little to no time is dedicated to studying and learning ourselves and our own bodies.
I’m not talking the formal or informal study of human behavior or psychology or biology or physiology (which has its value of course); I’m talking about reading the book of You and your lived Life and being well-versed in the subject/field of your Self + your Body!
When you start learning you, you start freeing you.
You move from being a passive victim to your life and healing to becoming an active participant and self-responsible leader of your entire life, healing processes and the actual living of your life.
And what you gain is more LIFE.
We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.

Our Work Together.
Body Fluency
Learn the resource + language of your Body.
Understand your Nervous System as your navigation system and become fluent in what the various expressions, sensations, feelings and symptoms of your Body are communicating to you (and learning how to feel safe enough to access/feel them).
Self Fluency
Learn the language of your Self.
Understand your psycho-emotional landscape, core Root System and subsequent core belief systems, adaptations, patterns, wounds, Needs, and Desires that have grown from it and how each informs your biological expressions so you can meet your own needs and understand how to in-source and intelligently outsource where necessary.
Living in Your Aliveness
Simply being alive and living in your aliveness are two very different experiences.
Unfortunately for most of us, a lifetime of learning to live in a state of self-protection keeps us stuck in survival mode and therefore creates a protective barrier between us and Life, us and Others, and worst of of all, us and our Self.
Learn to slowly reorient to a new baseline of safety through body awareness, somatic experiencing and consistent practice and support which increases your capacity for Life.
Living Embodied
You, feeling safe to inhabit your Body.
You, feeling safe to inhabit your Self.
You, feeling safe to inhabit your Life and this Earth.
You, moving in embodied self-responsibility + self-leadership.
Taking up space and being the living embodiment of your Truest, Youest You (the point!).
Understand your

The Framework
-
FOUNDATION, FIRST
-
SUBTRACTION//EXPLORATION
-
EDUCATION//INTEGRATION
-
APPLICATION
-
REGENERATION
Core Pillars of Care + Thriving
Safety
Space
A Supportive Witness
Practice
Love
These are not only the pillars of my work, I believe these pillars are what every human (and living being) requires in order to recover, heal and even access the possibility to thrive + live fully alive.
Unfortunately, we live in a society that is structured in opposition of these 5 things, so it’s our job to create them for ourselves and each other.
Who my work is for
Those who feel ‘wellness/healing weary’ and self-improvement sapped; and who have likely tried several if not all of the following:
The medical systems: western allopathic medicine, holistic/integrative, naturopathic, functional medicine, eastern medicine (i.e. tcm/ayurveda)
The psychology-talk therapy model
Consistent (and perhaps compulsive) self-improvement work within the personal development sphere
Spiritual development (i.e. eastern spirituality, western religion, new age, yoga world, plant medicine, astrology, etc.)
Generally ”doing all the the things” within many different modalities/paths and still feeling stuck
I offer a foundational x whole system approach that is not rooted in the lens of “treatment,” ‘fixing,’ or making you
or your issues “wrong” or a “problem”; but rather, seeing all of it as information and feedback that is always pointing you in the direction of your healing. And likely requires not more ‘healing stuff’ but instead more self understanding, acceptance and felt connection.
Every symptom and sticky pattern you are experiencing has a reason and makes sense.
Having the safety and space to explore things and connect the dots of your life, patterns, and symptoms as opposed to continuing on fighting/managing/controlling/incessant inner working/isolating
is the KEY to your healing + freedom.

Meet Nadia
Say hello to your Internal Revolution activator and co-pilot. Nadia is an Embodiment teacher/coach, BodyMind practitioner and writer. Other roles and gifts she utilizes in her work and own life are:
Context Queen (weaving together the why’s, roots + intersections of the micro and macro).
Master pattern detector + dot connector.
Disruptor of widely accepted and normalized norms and narratives that are far from normal or acceptable.
She is fiercely passionate about helping people come fully alive through deeply understanding and learning the language of their greatest available resource, template, ally + technology on the planet: their Body.
Happiest traveling, living abroad, farmer’s market hopping, eating a bounty of fruits and plants, being outside in Nature most, and near or in the sea mostest. :)
She supports clients worldwide and is actively expanding her education through offering more live taught online classes, community spaces, and in-person offerings.

Ok, now for the straight talk:
Hold the rocks, we’re going straight up baby!
There are some key things I want you to know about me and my work; promises I’ve made to myself and by extension, promises I make to those who work with me and inadvertently, anyone who follows me and my work:
I’m not here for the bullshit, friend, I’m here for the real shit.
Your real shit. In all the glorious, vast, dichotomous layers that make you, you.
My work wasn’t birthed from an academic path (although unbeknownst to me, all of my academia directly informed + contributed to where I’d be!) or because I thought it would be cute to start a business. It was a calling that came to me—one I’ve fought for and against. It comes from the guts of my lived experience, the disillusionment and harm I’ve experienced from ‘helping’ fields and was birthed from years of suffering with chronic illness, the effects of trauma/stress, bouts of depression and through the eventual collapse of my health and life.
I have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars and thousands of hours on my health and healing as well as my education, both formal and self taught/experienced. I technically have 20+ years of personal development under my belt.
And what I learned is that none of it means shit if it hasn’t led to my embodiment. We can have years of ‘knowledge’ and ‘inner work’; and still not live in our bodies and still not live as our True Selves, which keeps us from truly living in our integrity and truly living at all.
My promise is that I will never take you where I have not gone myself. I’m not here to simply regurgitate someone else’s teachings or conclusions. I’m here because of my own ongoing embodiment process; and my only interest is to support you and lead you into yours—whatever that looks like for you. So that you can come out of our time together as a more free you. And as nothing but more YOU.
This is the medicine.
You are both the path and the arrival, baby.
And I’m completely here for it.
