HI! I'M BETSY.
SOMATIC NURSE COACH
Founder of Embodied Guidance. I'm so glad you're here. Our mission is to fill the gap of the fragmented modern care systems to help people find authentic healing through body-based and nature-based forms of intrinsic healing. To teach you about how your body actually works and integrate that knowledge for your own healing and vitality.
I experienced this gap of the fragmented modern care systems in 2018 when I reached a point in my life where I felt overwhelmed and stuck. I felt stuck in chronic anxiety, overwhelm, career burnout in nursing, low self-esteem, and pressure to follow the “right” next steps in life and career. I was paralyzed with self-doubt, burnout, negative critical thoughts, and my body was tight with shoulder and neck tension.
Through an 8-year journey of healing work that included somatic (body-based) healing, meditation, nervous system regulation, nature-based healing, plant medicine journeys, psychedelic therapy, and community connection, I found a deeper understanding of my body's intrinsic intelligence. I transformed the chronic anxiety and burnout into inner clarity, self-trust, ease, and a joyful vitality.
In the midst of my career burnout and seeking a more meaningful way to help others, I trained in psychedelic and somatic therapy where I experienced the profound impact of body-based healing modalities, focusing on the nervous system, body awareness, self-compassion, subconscious processing, and energetic healing.
In offering this work to clients, a theme kept reoccurring: they went from chronic anxiety, overwhelm, and disconnection from their bodies to finding inner clarity, intrinsic healing, and more ease and joy in their lives.
WHAT WE DO HERE AT EMBODIED GUIDANCE
We bridge scientific knowledge with the body's intrinsic intelligence to help you understand how your body actually works, including the signals of the body, energy systems, and natural biological rhythms that help bring you back into balance.
There are natural biological rhythms and cycles that our bodies experience and that happen in our lives both inwardly and outwardly. When we can tune into these natural ways of being, life can flow easier with vitality.
