The Embodied Well Membership
A somatic playground for midlife women that is held within a field of belonging — where experimentation and connection coexist.
Want a different way of moving through Midlife?
Many women arrive here sensing a shift.
The ways you’ve learned to move through life—stifling the subtle cues of your body, managing your emotions, controlling your mind—no longer work the way they once did. What used to feel effective now feels effortful, even depleting.
If you’re here, you’re likely sensing that something is changing and you’re wanting a deeper, more honest relationship with yourself and with life, from the inside out.
The Embodied Well exists to nourish that relationship. It exists to help you cultivate a sustainable movement and meditation practice that honors your lived experience and nourishes you throughout your life.
We don’t see midlife or menopause as a decline.
We see it as a natural recalibration—one that invites less effort, refined attention, and a deeper trust in your own inner authority. And it’s not meant to happen alone. This kind of recalibration unfolds best in community, alongside like-hearted women.
This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about inhabiting yourself more fully.

I am starting to understand the power that my body, my whole “Self”, holds. I feel like I can trust myself to really work out what's right for me. It feels like a soulful salve for my worth wounds.

This Is For You If….
This membership is designed for women who:
See embodiment as a way of living — not something to master
Want the freedom to explore & practice when it works best for them.
Are tired of overriding intuition and want to stay in relationship with their bodies as they age
Want a community of like-hearted women.
Feel the pull toward more presence, self-acceptance, and embodied awareness.
This space meets you where you are.
Inside the membership, you’ll find…
A practice library designed to support your personal practice.
There is no expectation that you use everything.
Instead, you’re invited to check in with yourself and choose what you need in that moment.
Some women practice regularly.
Others return only when something is shifting.
All are welcome here.
A SOMA Orientation
Begin with SOMA SOURCE: From Effort to Ease, a 21-day guided audio and movement journey designed to introduce you to the SOMA Framework and help your nervous system settle, your mind to quiet, and create space for deep listening.
-
Alongside Source, the membership offers a light SOMA orientation that may include:
simple monthly themes
brief written reflections for context
small, suggested groupings of existing practices
These are offered as optional ways of relating to the library — not a path you’re expected to stay on.
Over time, additional 21-day SOMA journeys may be offered inside the membership, each exploring a different aspect of embodied organization.
You can engage with them in any way that feels right for you.
Monthly Somatic Sessions
Monthly live somatic sessions offer moments of real-time connection and attunement. Each session is part exploration, part practice, and part shared presence—offered as gentle drops of fresh water into the Embodied Well.
-
The Embodied Well Membership includes access to a small number of live, optional practice sessions each month:
One Somatic Insights class, offering a longer, exploratory practice
Two brief 15-minute classes, designed for simple, accessible embodiment in everyday life
One 30-minute mini-Movement Medicine class with guest instructor Mia Leightly.
You are welcome to attend live, watch replays, or ignore them entirely. They exist as optional points of contact, not as requirements or a progression.
A Living Practice Library
A curated library of Feldenkrais-based movement, guided meditations, and SOMA-based subliminals—organized intuitively so you can find what you need, when you need it. This is a library meant to be returned to, not completed.
-
These practices explore:
attention and sensation
gentle movement exploration
effort, rest, and pacing
support, orientation, and choice
This library is here as a resource, not a requirement.
Some of the material reflects an earlier phase of my work, grounded in science-based inquiry and academic rigor. It remains available as a supportive foundation, while newer work continues to evolve alongside it.
Monthly and annual memberships can be canceled at any time. And, you’re welcome to upgrade whenever it feels right for you.

-
A time to settle, connect, and trust your inner resourcefulness..
Source is about cultivating a sense of safety, trusting the support that is always there for you, and sourcing from within.
Here, you’re invited to listen for your body’s natural yes, no, and not-yet — not to force clarity, but to let it surface on its own.
This is where you’ll quiet the biological noise so that you can experience more of yourself and life.
-
A time to soften and widen your range.
Open invites you to open up to what is without judgement, loosen habits that no longer serve you, and allowing yourself to lean into what lights you up.
This isn’t about breaking down defenses. It’s about discovering that softening can create more room, more choice, and more ease.
You may find yourself feeling more available to sensation, emotion, and desire — without needing to act on any of it.
-
A time to shift gently.
Move is about letting change happen through small, workable steps rather than big decisions or pushes.
Here, attention turns toward how you initiate movement in your life — how you act, pause, adjust, and respond — guided by what feels sustainable rather than what feels urgent.
Nothing needs to be fixed or accelerated. Movement happens at the pace your body can support.
-
A time to integrate the somatic shifts and new insights, and trust wisdom of the whole.
Attune is about paying attention to what’s integrating naturally and what’s quietly falling away.
Rather than effort or improvement, this phase emphasizes refinement: staying with what’s working, releasing what feels out of sync, and allowing space for what comes next.
Integration becomes less something you do — and more something you notice.
What This Is Not
This space is not:
coaching
therapy
nervous-system regulation support
a step-by-step process
a facilitated group program
There is no personal guidance, accountability, or feedback here.
If you are looking for relational work, shared inquiry, or personalized support, my other offerings may be a better fit.
A Note on Lineage & Integrity
The Embodied Well holds a significant body of work created over many years. It reflects a lineage of somatic inquiry rooted in awareness through movement, Feldenkrais principles, and early foundations of what later became the SOMA Framework.
This space exists to honor that lineage.
You are invited to use it as a well: something you return to when needed, without expectation.
I’ve spent more than two decades working at the intersection of embodiment, movement, and lived inquiry, supporting women through seasons of change that can’t be navigated by thinking alone.
All of my work is rooted in Feldenkrais-inspired somatic movement, breathwork, and long-standing contemplative practice. It is shaped by years of listening closely to how women’s bodies reorganize during midlife.
The Embodied Well holds a large body of practice created over many years — much of it reflecting earlier phases of my work — and is offered here as a self-directed resource rather than a guided path.
Today, my role is less about teaching and more about creating the conditions for women to return to themselves with love, discernment, and respect for their own timing.

From Our Members
Have a question without an answer. I’m here to help—just ask!
Common questions I get….
-
The Embodied Well is for women who want a sustainable, self-directed way to stay connected to their bodies over time.
It’s for women navigating midlife who sense that familiar ways of managing, pushing, or thinking things through no longer work — and who want a place to return to embodiment without being guided, fixed, or improved.
This space suits both women who are new to somatic practice and those who are already deeply resourced. There’s no required starting point and no expectation of progress.
The Embodied Well meets you where you are and allows you to engage at your own pace, in your own way.
-
Many somatic movement memberships focus primarily on instruction and ongoing guidance around physical practice.
The Embodied Well is designed differently. It’s a self-directed resource, not a guided program. While it includes a large library of somatic practices, it also offers a light orientation to the SOMA Framework — not as a process to follow, but as a way of relating to practice over time.
There’s no expectation to progress, improve, or move anything forward. Instead, this space supports returning to embodiment in a way that honors your own timing, rhythms, and capacity.
-
Absolutely. Somatic work is about listening to your body, and your body is the expert on you. All practices are designed to meet you where you are, and our live gatherings create a supportive space for exploration and questions.
-
There is no required time commitment.
The Embodied Well is designed to support your life, not organize it. You’re encouraged to find a rhythm that fits your current season — and to let that rhythm change. What feels supportive in the summer may be different from what feels right in the darker months.
Some women like having a loose reference point. If that’s helpful, a common rhythm looks like:
One longer practice when you have the space (around 40–60 minutes)
Shorter practices when you want to stay connected (5–15 minutes)
These are not guidelines to follow or goals to meet — just possibilities. You’re free to engage more, less, or not at all, depending on what your life and body are asking for.
-
Live attendance is entirely optional.
Many members don’t attend the practice sessions live, and that’s completely fine. Edited recordings are added to the library so you can access them when, or if, it suits you.
-
Yes. You’re welcome to join at any point.
The Embodied Well is inspired by the seasons but, not structured around seasons or specific start dates. You can enter whenever it feels supportive and engage in whatever way fits your life right now.
You’re free to stay as long as it serves you — and to step away when it doesn’t.
-
You can choose either monthly or annual billing.
Monthly membership is $44 and is billed automatically each month.
Annual membership is $444 and is billed once per year.
Lifetime membership is a one-time payment of $1,800
You may cancel at any time. There are no contracts or cancellation requirements.
You’ll receive an email notifications before any billing occurs, so there are no surprise charges.
-
The Embodied Well is a self-directed practice space. It’s designed for independent exploration and ongoing access, without facilitation, guidance, or personal support.
Pause for Purpose and SOMA Circles are relational containers. They involve live facilitation, shared inquiry, and personalized or group-level support around discernment, integration, and real-life transitions.
Each offering serves a different function.
The Embodied Well is a resource you relate to on your own.
Pause for Purpose and SOMA Circles are spaces you enter when you want accompaniment.They are not sequential, and one is not a prerequisite for another. Women choose based on the kind of support — or independence — that fits their current season.
-
The Embodied Well is designed to be a self-directed resource, not a space for personal guidance or support.
If you find yourself wanting relational support, shared inquiry, or help navigating a specific transition, you may want to explore one of my other offerings, such as Pause for Purpose or SOMA Circles, which are designed for facilitated and relational work.
There’s no requirement to move between offerings. This simply reflects the difference in how each space functions. You’re encouraged to choose what fits your needs and capacity at any given time.
-
No special equipment is needed.
Nearly all practices can be done with just your body and a bit of floor space. If you’d like, you can use simple household items for support — such as a pillow, blanket, chair, or yoga mat — but nothing is required.
Each practice includes clear instructions so you can follow along at your own pace.
-
The Embodied Well is a digital, self-directed membership, and refunds are not offered.
That said, you’re welcome to explore the space at your own pace and decide whether it feels supportive. If it doesn’t, you’re free to cancel at any time and won’t be charged again.
We encourage you to join only if the structure and tone of this space feel like a good fit for you.

I came home exhausted yesterday after a social function and went straight to bed, but instead of putting on my audiobook or watching something, I searched for a "sleep" lesson from your site - head up and down, back and forth. It was the perfect thing to get me right to sleep (and to get me away from addictive habits).
This morning instead of dozing, I searched for a tongue lesson to do before I even got out of bed. What a wonderful way to end and start the day, and I could feel right away how just these few minutes can go a long way to integrate the kinds of things I want to be integrating.
