Embodied Rebirth
Embodied Rebirth isn't always comfortable but sometimes the most powerful shifts begin where comfort ends.
Embodied Rebirth is an intimate group experience for women who feel ready to go a little deeper into themselves. It's a space to reconnect with your body, use your voice, express what's there and explore your ability to shift, release and move through what you're experiencing or have experienced.
Our voices are vibration and in this work we use that vibration as a tool for healing, emotional release and shifting what is happening within the body. Your voice holds so much power and this is a space to explore that power.
You don't have to relive your whole experience or have a story attached to what you're feeling. It's about connecting with yourself, giving your body and voice space to express and allowing yourself to move through what you've been carrying.
What is Embodied Rebirth?
So much of what we do when we're trying to work through something happens in our heads. We think about it, analyse it, talk about it and try to understand why we feel the way we do. Sometimes we spend so much time figuring ourselves out that we forget to actually feel what's happening within us.
Embodied Rebirth brings another layer into that process by bringing your awareness back to your body and what is happening within you.
Before each gathering I psychically channel what the space will be centred around, so every experience has its own focus and intention. This may connect to a particular emotion, experience, pattern, chakra or something that feels ready to be explored.
We begin with grounding and a gentle drop in before going deeper. From there I guide you using body awareness, breath, voice, sound and music, creating space for whatever is ready to be felt, expressed or released.
There is no one way this will feel. You might notice sensations, emotions, memories or thoughts coming forward or simply become aware of something you hadn't noticed before. You don't need to analyse it or understand where it came from, you can simply notice what your body is telling you and stay present with it.
To be clear the breath isn't used as breathwork. It's simply a way of staying connected to your body and bringing awareness to areas that may be ready to be explored or released.
Some gatherings may also include drumming, letter release writing or ceremonial cacao, depending on the focus and intention of that particular experience.
Your voice is a huge part of this work
For generations women have been silenced, controlled, dismissed and taught to make themselves smaller. We've been told to quieten down, be nice, not be too much and swallow the things we really want to say.
There is something incredibly powerful about giving yourself permission to use your voice again. To make sound, express what words sometimes can't and let yourself be heard.
During these gatherings you might laugh, cry, sigh, hum, scream, yell or make sounds you've never made before. There is no right or wrong sound to make and this isn't about making a particular noise or trying to sound a certain way.
I believe every sound has its own vibration and sometimes your body knows what needs to come through before your conscious mind does. You don't need to understand why a particular sound is coming out and you don't need to force it. You're simply given the space to notice what is there and allow your body to express what may be ready to move through.
For some women, the release can also become very physical. You may cough, burp, spit, shake, cry or experience other physical responses as you move through the experience. These responses can be surprising, especially if you've never experienced this kind of work before.
I see these moments as part of the purging and releasing that can happen when we allow ourselves to feel and express what has been held within us.
You never need to force a response, your body gets to respond in its own way and at its own pace.
What can this work support?
Everyone's experience will be different but Embodied Rebirth can support you to:
• Feel and process emotions you've been holding inside
• Express rather than continually suppress what is there
• Explore patterns, experiences or emotions you're ready to go deeper into
• Reconnect with your body and what you're feeling
• Use your voice to express what words sometimes can't
• Release some of what you've been carrying without needing to relive your entire story
You don't need to have all the answers and you don't need to know exactly what you're ready to release. You just need to notice that something feels ready to shift.
Why this work means so much to me
My healing journey has taken me through many different chapters, and over the past year and a half, Embodied Rebirth has become a huge part of it. It has helped me shift the way I connect with myself, move through emotions and understand what it means to truly feel what is there rather than constantly pushing it down.
I've explored many different modalities, practices, personal development, spirituality, shadow work and emotional processing along the way. I don't believe just one thing is responsible for where I am today but Embodied Rebirth has been one of the most profound pieces of my journey
And that matters to me when it comes to the work I offer. I don't want to facilitate something I haven't experienced myself. I believe in walking the walk, not just talking about it.
This work is handing the power back to you
For me, one of the most powerful parts of this work is realising that you have the power within you to move through your own emotions and experience your own release.
This work can sound big and sometimes even a little scary, but I'm not here to do the work for you. I'm here to hold the space while you use your own voice, your own body and your own power to move through what is ready to be released.
You don't need someone else to tell you what you're feeling or what your body should be doing. I'm here to guide you, offer tools and create a safe space for you to experience what happens when you give yourself permission to go there.
And that's what I love about this work. I want you to walk away thinking, “Wow.. I just released, healed or shifted that myself.” Not “Wow, she did that for me.”
To me Embodied Rebirth is about handing that power back to you and reminding you that you're capable of doing more than you might realise.
Is this for you?
This is for women who have already been on some kind of healing or self-discovery journey and feel ready to go a little deeper.
Maybe you've done the courses, read the books, tried the practices and collected the tools, but you're ready to stop simply learning about yourself and actually experience something deeper.
You don't need to have years of healing behind you, and you don't need to know exactly what you're coming to release. You just need to feel that little nudge inside. That feeling of yes this is for me, even if another part of you is thinking, fuck, this sounds uncomfortable.
Because honestly, it probably will.
Embodied Rebirth isn't designed to keep you safely tucked inside your comfort zone. Sometimes going deeper means feeling things we'd normally avoid. It can be uncomfortable, emotional, messy or confronting, and that's what can make the experience so freeing and empowering.
We aren't meant to do all of this alone
I'm a big believer that women aren't meant to do all of this alone. There is something powerful about being amongst other women while you move through your own experience, knowing you don't have to explain yourself, perform or have all the answers.
Everyone is there for their own reasons, moving through their own emotions, experiences and whatever they have brought into the space. You don't need to take on anyone else's experience, and no one needs to take on yours. You're simply surrounded by women who are also showing up for themselves.
You don't have to share your story or speak if you don't want to. You don't have to force anything or have some big emotional release. You are allowed to meet yourself where you are, use your voice in whatever way feels right for you and experience what is ready to unfold.
Sometimes just knowing you're not the only one doing this can be powerful in itself.
The work doesn't stop when the event does
The experience doesn't necessarily finish when you walk out the door. Sometimes you might feel something shift that night. Sometimes things continue to come up over the next few days, weeks or even months.
That's why I believe integration is just as important as the experience itself. You'll receive an integration guide after each gathering with simple things you can do to support yourself afterwards.
And if you need a little extra support, I offer a free 10-minute integration call after each gathering.
Creating a safe space
Creating a safe and grounded space is really important to me. Before attending, you'll complete a short intake and wellbeing form, along with a waiver and consent form. This gives me a little more understanding of where you're at and helps me make sure the space is appropriate and supportive for you.
Your information is kept confidential and treated with care and respect. You will never be expected to share anything you don't feel comfortable sharing, and you're always encouraged to listen to your body, honour your boundaries and participate in whatever way feels right for you.
Because this work can be emotionally and physically intense, it isn't the right space for everyone. If you're currently experiencing significant mental health instability, psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or severe or unstable PTSD or CPTSD, please speak with your treating health professional before booking.
Embodied Rebirth is a personal and experiential space for self-exploration, emotional expression and release. It isn't a substitute for professional mental health care, psychological treatment or prescribed medication.
