This sacred circle is the opportunity for you to reconnect with your body as a mom. We give so much of our physical, emotional and energetic life force to parenting, especially in the early years. Even if we take care of our bodies, we can become very disconnected. Our bodies change so much after bearing children, and it can be really hard to accept the new versions of our bodies. And yet, our bodies are so sacred. We long to honor the sacredness rather than reject our bodies for not being enough.
This circle is a space for you define your new relationship with your body. To truly see it, love it and live in it. To reconnect to your sensuality and to embody confidence in your sacred body. If you have been feeling disconnected, critical or have lost your spark, this is for you. Our goal is for you to walk out of there loving the form you body and appreciating it for the sacred temple that it is.
NO POLE DANCING EXPERIENCE NECESSARY - pole use will be strictly simple movements to tap into sensual energy and exploration of our attitudes towards our body.
What to Expect
We will begin with an opportunity for connection in circle. Then we will center our bodies and spirits with a movement practice. Movement will help us release stuck energies and patterns and open our hearts and energy channels. With our open hearts and bodies taking the lead, we will then move into breathwork. And finally will end with integration through discussion in the circle.
This is an opportunity for you to take space for yourself to calm your thoughts and body, reset your Nervous System and tune into your body and soul. Breathwork is meant to help you shut off your thinking mind and feel more. People often have spiritual, expansive experiences and downloads as you are much more able to tap into your body and soul’s wisdom during breathwork.
This breath originates from the yogic pranayama breath which you will be laying flat on the floor for. While you can choose to make it intense, you may also choose to have a mellow journey. You will be in control of your experience.

She has been in the field of psychotherapy for over 15 years and has supported many 100s of individuals in their healing journeys, both 1:1 and in groups. She has worked in a multitude of settings including supporting expats working INGOs and activists and politicians on the Hill.

She has been supporting clients in healing and expanding spiritually throughout her career.
Kim has worked primarily as a women's embodiment coach for the last 7 years.

I truly find breathwork to be a remarkable healing and expansive modality. After 15+ years as a healer, I have tried many ways of healing and breath has absolutely been the most powerful avenue for me! Learn more about me by reading my bio here if you like!
