You made me a mother 💕 I’ve been so hesitant to share your arrival because I haven’t quite finished processing it yet and I’ve just felt too sensitive to be on this app since you’ve gotten here. But today feels like as good of a time as ever because you’re too special not to share, and our story deserves to be known, eventually. This has simultaneously been the absolute hardest and most beautiful week of my life. I love you so much little boy 💙

Wrenley Brooks Richard Higgins arrived on May 3, we love you so much little one, you are bursting with life and I feel really lucky that you chose me to be your mama.

When you feel the rise of emotion, the tightening of the base of your throat and the feeling of tears starting to swell behind your eyes, do you find something to distract yourself with or do you lean in?

For me, it depends on where I am, who I’m with, and my capacity that day, but for the most part, I try to lean in and I always encourage my clients to do the same.

As one of my teachers often said, “the only way out is through”.

I had a tough morning yesterday and could feel all of the above described sensations starting to arise, and I decided to lean in. I rolled out my mat, put in headphones, and went right into child pose. About 30 seconds into the first song of my playlist, tears started flowing and I let them.

I wanted to take a picture of the way that my mat soaked up my tears. This mat has absorbed so much for me, shared so much with me, supported me in so many ways.

The crying got more intense and then after about 2-3 minutes, it stopped, and I stayed on my mat moving flowing and breathing for 90 minutes which is the longest full form practice I’ve had since well before I was pregnant.

I originally rolled out my mat just to feel and to lean into the emotions, I didn’t expect that my body would want me to stay for that long, but that’s what happens when we release expectations and embody presently what we just need.

For me, music is a big part of finding that kind of release, so if it is for you too, find me on Spotify the playlist I was using is called ‘The Gray’ and the first song, the one that helped me release those tears, is called Faith’s Hymn by Beautiful Chorus.

I had a consultation with a potential client today. On my consultation form, I ask individuals to share what inspired them to schedule the call. This person shared…

“I’ve been having stomach issues, most likely an ulcer. I feel like my body is holding onto a lot of emotions and I’d like help working through them.”

During our call, I asked lots of questions to see if somatic therapy is the right modality for her, and also to see if I am the right fit as a practitioner for her. The more we spoke, the more clear it was that the answer is YES and YES to both of those questions.

When I first went into private practice, I said yes to every single consultation, without giving alignment or right fit any real thought. I was just wanting to work with anyone who showed up!

But I’m much more intentional now about who I invite to work with me. I’m not the right fit for everyone, and there are also people who don’t feel like they’re the right fit for me. The therapeutic relationship is hugely important in this kind of work and taking the time for both of us to really feel into that dynamic is key.

I lean on my intuition big time during consultations. I see if I can find a felt sense (or absence of) safety, connection, trust, openness, curiosity during the call to help me determine next steps of either inviting them to work with me, referring them to a trusted colleague, or recommending a different kind of modality.

Saying no (politely and compassionately!) to taking certain clients on used to really scare me, but what I remind myself of now is that I’m doing them a service by helping them connect with the right people and the right one to care, regardless of who that’s with!

I offer completely free 30 minute consultation calls. If you’ve been considering scheduling one, this is your sign to head to the link in my bio and set yours up today ❤️

The individual I spoke with this morning told me that schedule the consultation has been on their list for the last 2.5 years. And that’s ok!!!! There’s no one size fits all timeline. You’ll know when the time is right 💕

🎉 appreciation post for my Embodied You group 🎉

Last night marked week 7 with my current Embodied You group. When I’m running a group, I stop seeing 1-1 clients early on Tuesdays so that I have enough time to prepare for the live session with my group. I got home and set up my outdoor home office and got to work!

I started reading through comments in the portal and was especially struck by one. The comment was from week 6 which is called ‘Meeting Parts of Self’, all about somatic parts work.

This individual was reflecting on their experience getting to know their critical part. Previously where there was shame, frustration, anger towards that critical part, she was able to find compassion.

“Through the parts work, I was able to find that my self critical part isn’t trying to hurt me. Instead, they’re trying to (1) protect me by making sure I’m not taken aback by outside criticism and (2) help me to improve myself. After discovering these motives of my critical part, it make it a lot easier for me to offer them compassion and grace”

Although sometimes the outcome doesn’t align with the intention, our parts are usually just trying to keep us safe!!! Understanding and recognizing the intentions and fears of our parts creates so much space for curiosity snd compassion, and finding their lived experience inside of the body grounds us into the present knowing 💕💕

Want to be a part of Embodied You? Send me a direct message and say “add me to the waitlist” so that you can be the first to know when the next enrollment opens and start your journey towards fully embodied living 💕💕

Zoom-ing was the only way I could work with my clients at the beginning because I started my business during the pandemic.

I’m grateful now to be able to welcome local clients into my office for in person sessions, but I still have lots of clients I see virtually!

Virtual sessions allows us to work together when you’re sick, on vacation, or just don’t have time to commute to my office. Virtual sessions also means I can see you if you don’t live in Vermont! I currently have clients I see regularly in…

California
New York
Rhode Island
Florida
Illinois
Montana

Somatics translates beautifully in virtual sessions because it uniquely gives you even MORE bodily autonomy! In virtual sessions we get to play around with hiding self view, using self view, pinning your self to the zoom screen to practice self gaze, and playing around with different props in your own space, it’s pretty cool!!!

Let’s zoom 🏎️ … click the link in my bio to schedule your free consultation today, it’s time to bring your Body to therapy!!

CLIENT WIN 🎉

I first started working with this client over a year ago. We worked together 1-1 for 8 months and then she enrolled in my 10 week Embodiment Course. This client came to me with significant trauma from her birthing experience, and was diagnosed with postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety from a psychiatric NP. She sought out somatic therapy because she felt like her body was really holding onto her birthing trauma, and her experiences with anxiety and depression were showing up in her body.

When we first started working together, she shared with me that she was not open to trying medication. While it is not within my scope of practice to diagnose, treat, or prescribe, it is certainly within my scope of practice to keep an open and empathetic dialogue about a client’s experience and to offer information about additional interventions, especially if they share with me that they are scared of harming self or other.

We worked to de-stigmatizing the idea of getting help from a medication, she was able to reframe what it meant to her to accept help, and she decided to go back to her psychiatric NP and have a conversation with them about medication. When she started medication, she noticed a HUGE shift and she told me she really felt like adding in help from medications saved her.

I would classify my work and the modality I offer as an “alternative” therapy. Unfortunately, too many people think that they have to choose. Mainstream interventions OR alternative ones. Manage the symptom OR get holistic support. Work on integrative behavior modification OR get medicine to help.

We can do both! You can do both! You can have it all. This client accepting support from medication made a big difference in our work together.

Don’t make the hard harder, my friends. Choose the right kind of hard.

I had a first session with a new client yesterday. This individual is a new mother, 10 months postpartum. She took three months of maternity leave and thought she would be “fine” to go back to work. Two weeks later, she had her first panic attack and has had several since then. She’s meeting anxious parts of herself that she hasn’t known before, she’s navigating a brand new relationship with her body, and she’s renegotiating her priorities after years dedicated to climbing the corporate ladder.

She initially reached out to me for help with down regulating her nervous system, wanting to find some sort of relief from the panic attacks she has been experiencing. While these are all great intentions to bring to this work, so much more came up during our session yesterday.

Through interoceptive awareness and a deep sense of connection and listening to her body, she came to a place of realization that she actually needed to start with learning how to be her own best friend again.

It feels really important to note that this intention was not shared during the intake, it was not a “goal” she brought in with her or something she put on her intake form. Rather she was able to receive it from her body! After guiding her through embodied movements and breathwork, then helping her to drop into her direct experience, she arrived at a place of clarity where she was able to receive that wisdom from within after I coached her with dialogue and questions to ask her body.

It’s really amazing the kind of insight that arises from somatic work versus cognitive processing. They’re both so important for different reasons! Have you tried somatic therapy yet? What kind? How did it help you?

Yardwork as a spiritual practice.

My partner and I recently bought our first home together and moved in Halloween weekend. We moved in late fall, so this is our very first time seeing the property start to come into bloom.

The wonder and curiosity of figuring out what plants will emerge from the earth has been oddly exciting. What is greenery vs flower vs w**d vs fruit. We’re at that part of spring where it seems like every single morning there’s a visible difference in growth, vibrancy, abundance of plants and trees.

Before this home, we were in a condo for 10 years so we’ve never had a lawn to take care of. This past weekend we put in lots of hours into yard work… anybody else feel like time flies when you’re doing that kind of work? It started to down pour and I just wanted to keep going. There’s something that feels so good about that depth of connection to land.

Pulling up dead brush from last year, composting dead brush for next, tilling the soil to get the garden plot ready, planting new seeds and just walking away. Hopefully you see them too, but to me these are such beautiful life lessons and reminders from nature.

Nature is flexible, resilient, she knows what’s good for her, she is always changing, she’s never in a rush, she knows her purpose, she’s collaborative, always willing to work with others, she’s able to let go of what’s weighing her down, and she reminds us of the importance of patience.

What lessons has nature taught you?

One of us turned 34 today and the other turned 7! There’s no one else I’d rather share a birthday with 🐾

This one feels extra special, riding off of the magic of the total eclipse from yesterday. I took the day off (boss’ orders ), started the day with a yoga class, then had therapy, soaked up some sunshine on the deck while catching up with friends, jumped into the freezing cold lake, and hung at home with my loves. Dream day! Thank you for the birthday love!

Belated birthday post!!!! Quinttusential Yoga Therapy turned 3️⃣ years old on March 1 🥹 I’m so proud of the business I built and as a woman and a solopreneur, I feel like it’s really important to say that!!! I am so proud of myself 💕

I started my business right in the middle of the pandemic, it was a big risk and I took a big leap. Stepping away from a full time job with benefits and a steady, predictable income stream was terrifying but I knew I had to do it.

My passion for Somatics runs so deep and it was clear to me as soon as I graduated that I needed to turn this passion into a private practice! This work has changed my life and I can confidently say that I’ve changed many of my clients lives for the better.

Thank you to my clients who choose this work and continuously choose and trust me to guide you through it. I love you, I am so proud of you, and endlessly grateful for you. I still daily (often multiple times a day) have ‘pinch me’ moments of “is this really my job? Do I really get to do this?”

To celebrate our third birthday, I’m sending out a special newsletter tomorrow with some really awesome discounts on packages!!! My packages are already discounted, so this is a discount on top of a discount 😁😁 send me a DM with your email address if you want in!!!
