Over time, I’ve found that listening more deeply to the body requires slowing down and becoming attuned to our own impulses and what we call “Inspired Action.” This kind of listening isn’t about reacting to everything around us but about connecting with the sensations and cues that come from within. When I create space to pause, it’s almost like tuning in to a subtle language that’s been there all along, just waiting to be heard. Interoception—our ability to sense what’s happening internally—is something I’ve learned to strengthen with practice. It’s a skill, almost like building a muscle. For me, this has meant: - Turning inward – intentionally tuning into my emotions and physical sensations as they arise. - Using mindfulness practices – like breathwork and body scans, which help me notice internal signals and build a more connected relationship with my body. In Body-Based Breakthrough, we integrate these practices to support a deeper understanding of our internal state. This awareness has helped me uncover patterns in my responses, like recognizing recurring thoughts, feelings, or sensations that come up in reaction to certain triggers. I’ve also discovered that focusing on movement that feels pleasurable and expansive—rather than pushing through discomfort—deepens my connection with my body. When I approach movement with curiosity rather than intensity, I start to notice more of the body’s subtleties and a gentle sense of ease that flows from that awareness. This approach has helped me feel more fluid, responsive, and aligned, both during B3 sessions and in everyday life. Creating a safe space to listen has been key. Here are some practices that support this: - Dedicated practice space – a place for B3 sessions, free from distractions. - Journaling – capturing insights and reflections as they arise during practice. - Self-compassion – reminding myself that building a relationship with my body is a gradual process. For anyone on this path, I encourage patience. The journey of deepening body awareness isn’t something that happens overnight; it unfolds gradually. But the more I listen, the more I trust that my body holds its own wisdom, and there’s always something new it has to teach me.

We certify coaches, and mental health professionals to add a somatic or nervous system tool to their business, called Body-Based Breakthrough. Simultaneously helping them get "unstuck" professionally, as well as personally if they experience anxiety, imposter syndrome or burnout. We use a combination of breathwork, moving meditation, journaling and coaching. We teach it, and certify our trauma-informed practitioners over a 3-month period. #2. I want to connect with new friends, I want to serve our existing clients and I want to help people expand their impact, their belief in themselves and about what is possible in terms of generating cash flow and I want to have a ton of fun! #3. I like to hang by our creek here in Boulder, hike mountains, nerd out about the nervous system, read books about it, and go to coffee shops. I also love me some yoga. #4 - I love my space...but probably my favorite is working on the ground right behind this station...I love moving throughout the day...
