Welcome to Conscious Embodiment
Conscious Embodiment is a practice derived from the revolutionary non-aggressive martial art of Aikido. This practice allows us to unify the energy of the body and thus learn to trust our sensations, which are the basis of bodily intuition and wisdom. Using principles from Aikido and other spiritual practices, these classes offer ways of understanding mental and emotional habits of attention from an energetic viewpoint. There is within each of us a latent power of intuition and unconditional love. By cultivating this natural healing power, we can increase our capacity for wisdom, confidence, and happiness that will radiate out into the world.

Embodied Leadership, Coaching and Leadership Development

Embodied leadership brings a holistic understanding to leadership that honors and unites the conceptual, emotional and embodied aspects of ourselves. Over the last 25 years Wendy has developed an embodied leadership approach which she teaches with humor, patience and wisdom. You will learn tools and practices that will develop presence, confidence, and compassion as you deal with challenges in your organization and other areas in your life.  You will learn how to work effectively from your "centered self" rather than your "personality oriented reactive self."
