A group program for Holistic Therapists to confidently level up their mindbody toolbox.
Imagine if you could seamlessly weave body-based interventions into your therapy sessions-no sweat!
You want to help your clients feel connected to their bodies, and that’s what they want too! But watching videos on TikTok and Instagram doesn’t seem to be enough.
You’ve used guided meditation techniques, are familiar with “grounding”, and picked up books about yoga and trauma. You’ve spent hours watching TikTok videos about somatic interventions, and you even do it for yourself. You’ve probably given your clients homework to do guided relaxation.
But you’re not quite sure if:
You’re doing it right
You’re missing something
You’re doing any harm
Your impact could be bigger
Got embodiment?
Got embodiment?
Wouldn’t it be so great to confidently know that you’re doing this well!
You’d love access to more somatic tools, a container to practice them, and an expert to guide you along the way. You want to understand how, when and why to give instructions more confidently to your client, to know “I’ve got this!”
You’d love to be clearer, faster, better, and more confident.
I’ve created Embrace Embodied Therapy just for curious clinicians like you who want to level up their skills in the therapy room!
MEET YOUR EMBODIED GUIDE
Hello friend,
I’m Kim.
(she/her) A fellow journeyer in befriending the body.
Growing up, I felt distant from my body. I didn’t have the words to describe this to myself or anyone else. The message I internalized from the outside world was to use my brain to “be smart” and a “good student”. My body was for utilitarian purposes; get up early to go to school (I’m so dutiful!) and run that mile in gym class (I really didn’t like that).
Meanwhile, I was attracted to performing arts and immersive experiences that made me FEEL! Feel emotions but also feel like maybe I was more than a person that just accomplishes tasks. I could feel glimpses of being an integrated, wondrous, multidimensional human!
Is it too much to want more of that goodness?
I certainly did, so that’s why in college I chose to study dance and theater. From there I eventually found my way to a graduate training in dance/movement therapy and counseling.
In my holistic, embodied coursework I learned how to use expression and movement first in service of storytelling in college, and then in service of healing in grad school. Have you ever just followed a pull from inside and been so pleased with where it takes you? Cue a bundle of self discovery!
For 15 years I have been an embodied therapist for those who want to connect not just in their mind but also hear the call in their bodies and hearts for deeper connection and understanding with themselves.
The interest in mindbody connection has skyrocketed in the past several years with therapists incredibly interested and eager to know more.
I want to help you go deeper. I’ve created Embrace Embodied Therapy as a space for you to organize your current knowledge, have deeper learning about mindbody skills, and get your personal questions answered.
The interest you have in further connecting with your body can be a powerful healing tool with your clients.
You can gain more tools and build your confidence through insight, knowledge and practice.

“Kim understands the gap between the somatic approaches and traditional verbal therapy. She has tools and a vision to help practitioners on either side to close the gap. I admire her passion!”
— Yu-Ling Hu, Board Certified
Dance/Movement Therapist
“Kim has a calm, supportive presence, which I find very grounding. I trust her and have confidence in her perspectives and approaches. Kim is creative and shares her knowledge in an engaging, easy to understand way. She creates an environment that encourages learning, exploration and self-development.”
-Joanna Gardy, LMHC
Kim, I have a hard time meditating and practicing breathing exercises on my own. How will I keep myself accountable?
A confession: even when I want to learn a new embodied method, it’s really difficult for me to do this on my own. I have to tell a trusted colleague or learn it in a group to keep myself accountable.
That’s why this program is conducted with a cohort of therapists and includes a weekly accountability platform. This will also help you track your progress and celebrate your wins, all of which help build your new skills and confidence.
