What is Embodied Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is a practice of non-judgmentally and compassionately observing your present moment experience while allowing it to be as it is. Embodied Mindfulness highlights the importance of the role the body plays in sensing the present moment.
Awareness of the body is central to Buddhist mindfulness but I believe that in this day and age the “embodied” aspect of mindfulness must be explicitly emphasized since many of us live “neck-up” and can easily forget what’s happening from the neck to the feet (and a lot is happening)!
In my work as an embodied mindfulness coach I include: traditional mindfulness, somatic experiencing, qi gong, yoga, breath practices, journaling techniques, and more…
What Can You Expect From Embodied Mindfulness Coaching?
1. To learn how to create space in your body+mind through the practices of: mindfulness, embodiment, energy psychology, journaling and more…
2. To get to know yourself, your body, your pain, and your stories intimately through the lens of self-compassion.
3. To learn how to creatively express these stories in a way that helps you to release them and re-write them.
4. To learn how to shift your relationship to yourself, your pain and the world around you and gain the ability to choose where you place your attention in any given moment.
5. To learn how to relax more deeply.
6. To discover how all of the above can help you in managing and potentially healing your pain.

Testimonials
“Before working with Eve I didn’t have the tools to calm my body and relax, and I wasn’t aware of the mindbody connection to my pain and how it affects it immensely. I decided to sign up for Eve’s program because it provided invaluable tools to teach me mindfulness practices and breathing exercises and I knew I needed it. My mental state was really bad prior to working with Eve and I now feel about 80% better. I learned to not panic when I feel pain and to use specific tools to calm my body. I want everyone to know that if you put in the time and are dedicated this program really helps. If you’re considering signing up don’t hesitate for a moment. It’s worth the investment and you will be totally satisfied. Eve was wonderful and the program offered even more than I expected. I was a little leery because I knew it was going to be a big commitment but I got everything and more from working with her. She’s caring, compassionate and wants you to succeed.”
“Eve is amazing at what she does. She truly has a gift for teaching meditation. She’s organized and in tune. I’d highly recommend anyone take her course.”
“I’m so happy to have found Eve and the group she formed. Working with her has given me a new perspective on life and to trust my body and pay attention to how I’m feeling in my body. Practicing mindfulness and staying attuned to the 5 senses and mind , body, breath has kept me more centered. I never really knew the connection to mindfulness and how it affects this condition until I started working with her.”
“Eve unites her deep knowledge of the body and the mind in these thoughtfully planned and executed classes. She skillfully shares her insights in ways that we can readily digest and apply to our lives. Eve’s instruction helps me learn to rest, reflect, and relax more effectively. Eve’s style is playful, caring, and exploratory, which makes learning with her a joy.”
