As I take a step back and look around, I’m beginning to notice that a lot of what I do as a coach, as a writer, as a speaker, even as a designer, is helping people get back into their bodies.
This has been the focus of my own self-care and inner work since the summer, reconnecting with my body, its needs and its wisdom.
We dissociate from our bodies during early childhood trauma — it happens to everyone.
And disconnection between mind and body remains. They continue on as two separate entities.
I believe our life’s work is to get ourselves back inside our bodies.
It’s the only true way to create inner peace.
And our collective inner peace is what will create world peace.

This is fantastic. I am studying a UX-design course and you were quoted in an article (how I found this page). I am an employee wellness coach and potter. This moving into body is very true… The potter Bernard Leach had many great thoughts / writings on this subject…
“A potter is one of the few people left who uses his natural faculties of heart, head and hand in balance – the whole man.”
