Have you had a true conversation with your body before? A back-and-forth conversation with answers?

This is what is taught in my SoulBody Somatic Group-How to talk to your body.

It is a powerful and invigorating experience!

Each SoulBody Group is its own unique conversation. From the moment we open group and introduce ourselves, we set our healing intention and our bodies come online. And from start to finish, we are in active conversation with our body.

Different group topics include:
🔹how to heal trauma in the body
🔹how to listen and tolerate big emotions in the body
🔹how to navigate emotional states in relationship to others
🔹how to listen and understand our body’s expressions
🔹and very importantly, what is the language of the body

Then we practice.

We participate in a somatic meditation. The goal is to listen to our body, feel the energies and the emotions, and be both observer and active listener.

At the close of group, we share our SoulBody experience. This is my favorite part of group because so many beautiful experiences happen during the meditation.

Also, I have learned that the group is just the beginning! The healing starts in the group and continues on afterwards.

To learn more, DM me or comment SoulBody to receive a brief intro to the SoulBody meditation.

Beautiful song for all our hearts 🥰

Repost from

01/18/2026

When sadness takes hold like a heavy weight slowing down time and space,

We breathe.

We breathe into the space where our heart no longer feels complete.

We breathe into the life story that pulled the blinds down hiding the sun’s rays.

We breathe into our body’s hold on what we are struggling to let go of…

And we breathe into the love that had to be in order for our heart to grieve.

Keep breathing.

Your grief is your body’s devotion to how deeply you love.

I revisited an old manuscript of mine from 2021-2023. This manuscript is an exercise I tried for a couple years, an attempt at writing free of self-judgment, a practice in writing candidly what arrived in my thoughts without censorship and worry about what others may think.

By the time I’d stopped writing it, it was more than forty pages. It had themes in it. Themes of feeling, of tenderness, chords of life’s soft underbelly.

I tried to put into words my understandings of the work I do. My understandings of trauma, nature, connection, exchange, and love.

These themes of life’s ups and downs are so delicate and tender for us all.

I’m slowly figuring out how to translate life and energy into language. Truth into words. Truth as energy, as the language of the body.

It is my passion project.
This listening to the body’s expressions. This learning and understanding of the universal expressions of our humanity.

I learn everything from the inside out.
My understanding comes from the body, what the body has communicated to me. What it has taught me. I have become a translator of its subtle expressions. It’s nudges. It’s precision.

I am a Medical Intuitive.
A translator of the body.
An active listener.
An observer.
A passionate advocate for healing and presence and joy.

I am also truly lost in this sea of social media. On a flimsy raft. Floating along. Singing my tunes.

And I am so grateful to all of you who listen.

With so much love,
Colleen

Did you know your body is amazing!?🔥

It is a vast network of receptors and transmitters.
It is conscious and it is listening.
Not only to what you say to yourself,
but what is being said in the field around you.

Your mind and body are powerful partners;
Especially when they speak,
consciousness-to-consciousness:
The conscious mind with the conscious body.

Your mind fills many roles:
Director, leader, analyzer,
intention-setter, observer,
and listener.

My task for you:
Can you place your mind into the
ACTIVE listener role?
Can you listen carefully to the communications from the body,
the body’s sensations, the body’s emotions,
Its fluctuations and shifts… its temperature.

Start to notice how when you focus on this listening, the body gives you immediate feedback.

The call and answer is real.
The connection is constant.
We listen to strengthen the bond,
And honor this incredible partnership.

And when this bond becomes
active, strong, and loud,
we are witnessing healing amplification in real time.

This is what we practice in the virtual SoulBody Somatic Group on Tuesday evenings.

This is what I teach in my 1:1 SoulBody Sessions ✨

Do the emotions ever feel too much?
Too overwhelming?
Too strong? Too intense?
Unmanageable? 🥹

I get it. Life comes at us fast.
Some stories we’ve been through
can sneak up and hijack our nervous system when we are not prepared.

When we are in an active challenging life moment, we often go into survival mode.
We turn off a lot of the emotional processing of the moment.

This happens so we can actually get through the moment without falling apart.

We stay standing during the worst parts.

It’s once the storm has settled, and
the moment has slipped into recent history,
and our world moves on to other things,
that the emotions rise up to be processed.

That’s when the waves of grief, hurt,
trauma, sadness, confusion, and fear can take us over.

That’s when we need a way to interact with our body’s experience that brings safety and understanding.

That’s when somatic practices really shine!

They show up in our muscle memory.
They show up in how we listen to our body.

They show up because we give ourselves
permission to feel and to heal.

The shift from mind-analyzing to
body-processing is a profound shift.

It’s a shift worthy of our time and effort.

My SoulBody Method focuses on the strengthening of the bond between mind and body.✨

▻ It focuses on how to actively listen to the body’s experience in real time.
▻ It focuses on building emotional tolerance.
▻ And creating safety in the relationship between your own mind and your own body.

It is about conscious self-awareness.
Proactive self-awareness.
And it is about self-compassion.

This practice asks you to
listen to what your body is saying
and respond with love, care, and presence.

Join our Virtual Tuesday Night SoulBody Somatic Group to learn and practice this method in real time. You will be guided step by step in how to connect, listen, and reassure your body that it can process it’s life, and feel safe again.

Now that 2025 is coming to a close,
what are you taking with you into 2026?
What are you releasing?✨

I am choosing to release limitation and fear! And I am bringing in more stories, more flow, more content, more spontaneity, and lots more connection and love.

2025 was more than I bargained for, and I imagine I am in good company with that sentiment.

And yet, here we all are, wiser and stronger, more clear and more determined than ever… to rise in trust, to be our own healers, to embrace our human design… and to give all we have to being the most healthy and loving and creative versions of ourselves.

I get that none of us have the answers. We are all doing the best we can.
🙏🏻(I see you. I honor you.)

In a world that’s been super sped up with stimulus happening from every direction, finding our center is our goal.
It is our medicine.

And we are achieving that goal now by listening, by connecting, by trusting that what’s happening to us, around us, will make more sense to us as we are further along our journey.

And in the meantime,
we feel, we trust,
and we love eachother.
As best we can.

I’m here for it all. I’m here for you.
Have a beautiful New Year.
If you’re tired, rest.
If you’re sad, grieve.
If you’re confused,
stop thinking all together.
The answers will come in the silence.
In the quiet.

And mostly, look around you.
What’s in your world right now?
Who’s in your world right now?
Let your heart be there.
With them. And with you.

Happy New Year! 💖

Much love, Colleen

Have you ever been taken over by an emotion and it seems to happen out of nowhere? 😭

You are calm one moment and the next moment, you feel angry or anxious and upset? 😢

In The Body Keeps the Score, Bessel Van der Kolk states:

“Trauma is not just an event that took place sometime in the past; it is also the imprint left by that experience on mind, brain, and body.”

That imprint of trauma in our body can show up in many different ways, in our daily lives, and in our relationships.

Sometimes we are completely unaware that the anger we are feeling today is the anger we couldnt feel when we were first hurt or traumatized.

The body holds on to that hurt and anger because what we went through, what we survived, matters.

🔸The body’s experience matters.🔸

There are still echoes in the field, ripples of unresolved emotion, fear and monitoring active in the body. We don’t feel ok.

🔸Will I be hurt again? Am I safe now?🔸

In our SoulBody Somatic Group on Tuesday evenings, we discuss:

🔸How to heal our trauma in real time.
🔸How to help the body resolves its pain.
🔸How the body naturally takes care of us.
🔸How to listen to the body’s messages.
🔸How the mind and body work together as partners.

Join us Tuesday virtually 7-8:30pm EST!
We meet every week. Join once or as many times as you like 🤗

Trauma can rob us of the feeling of safety in our body. We may even forget that our body ever felt safe prior to our trauma.

We don’t relax.
We monitor.
We brace ourselves.
Our breath is shallow.
Our mind stays busy.
We are restless even when resting.

The first task in our recovery is the AWARENESS that we feel unsafe in the body (even though the threat has passed).

Then we work slowly and gently to create safety again. Or teach the body safety for the first time.

🔸This process is for you if you are ready to reclaim freedom from your past.

🔸This process is for you if you want to become embodied, empowered, and assertive in your life.

🔸This process is for you if you feel you don’t know where to begin…

🔸This process is for you if you are ready to embrace your body as your steady and reliable companion on your soul’s journey.
