Physiotherapy builds strength and stability in the body. Embodiment coaching creates the space to safely unravel what the body has been storing — emotionally and energetically.

Most programs offer one or the other. The Supported Body offers both, and the result is something neither alone can give you:
ease in the body, and the deep trust that you can support yourself.

The physical component

Building genuine
stability from within.

Most people who hold chronic tension aren't weak. They're overworking. They've learned to brace, grip, and push through because the body hasn't yet found a more efficient way to feel stable.

The physical component works from the foundations up. Breath, core coordination, pressure management, and progressive strength training. Short sessions (15-20 minutes, 3 times a week) that build week by week and are fully adapted to your body and capacity.

This work is especially valuable for people with hypermobility, instability, chronic pain, or post-viral fatigue. These are conditions where the body often compensates through excessive tension and muscular guarding.

— Breathing patterns and core coordination
— Ribcage, pelvic, and spinal stability
— Progressive strength and load transfer
— Efficient movement without bracing or overworking

The embodiment component

Where what's stored
can finally move.

Alongside the physical training, the 1:1 embodiment coaching sessions work with what the body has been holding. The emotional and energetic layers that often sit beneath chronic tension, pain, and overworking.

Embodiment coaching is not psychotherapy or counselling. It's an inquiry-based method focused on felt sensation. Questions and responses guide attention inward, toward what's actually happening in the body beneath conscious thought. Sensation, emotion, and energy that has been stored can begin to shift and release. People often access insight and wisdom that sits below conscious thought. Physical tension softens. Something settles.

For many people, this is where the deepest change happens. Not because they learned something new. Because something that had been held for a long time was finally given space to move.

— Guided somatic inquiry and body-based awareness
— Safely processing stored tension and emotion
— Nervous system practices and regulation tools
— Building internal safety, trust, and self-support
— Journaling and integration practices

What shifts

The result of addressing
both layers together.

When the physical, emotional and energetic are addressed as one integrated whole, the changes people experience go beyond what either approach alone can offer.

Ease in the body

Less baseline tension, bracing, and overworking. Movement that feels lighter and more natural. A body that isn't constantly efforting just to feel okay.

Genuine stability

Strength that comes from coordination and efficiency. A body that feels organised and supported from within, not held together through gripping and guarding.

Nervous system steadiness

Less reactivity, urgency, and vigilance. Greater capacity to meet challenge without collapsing or pushing harder. A calmer baseline to return to.

Trust in yourself

The relaxed confidence that comes not from forcing or performing, but from feeling genuinely supported within yourself. A steadiness you can carry into your life.

Program structure

How the 12 weeks unfold.

Functional core training progressively builds over all 12 weeks. A structured program delivered via guided video and tailored to your body and capacity as you go. The 1:1 coaching sessions are spaced to deepen an embodied exploration of support. We orient and set goals at the beginning and close with a clear path beyond the program.

1
Week 1 — Welcome and orientation (75 min)
We begin with a 75-minute 1:1 embodiment coaching session. Space to orient to the program, establish what you're bringing into this process, and set the container for the 12 weeks ahead.
2
Week 3 — 1:1 embodiment coaching (60 min)
A private online session exploring what's present in your body and what's shifting. We follow what's alive, using somatic inquiry, breath, and movement to work with what the body has been storing.
3
Week 5 — 1:1 embodiment coaching (60 min)
Continuing to deepen the embodiment work. Each session is fully personalised to where you are. There is no set agenda. We follow what emerges.
4
Week 7 — Integration week
A deliberate pause at the midpoint. Training continues with familiar content. Less cognitive load, more space to consolidate. Reflection prompts and a body-based check-in help you notice what's shifted and set your intentions for the second half.
5
Week 8 — 1:1 embodiment coaching (60 min)
Returning to the embodiment work after the integration pause. Often where things begin to deepen. The body has had time to settle and there is more capacity to go further.
6
Week 10 — 1:1 embodiment coaching (60 min)
The fourth session in the series. By this point patterns are shifting and the work often moves into subtler, deeper territory.
7
Week 12 — Closing session (90 min)
We close with a 90-minute 1:1 embodiment coaching session. Space to celebrate what has shifted, integrate the full arc of the 12 weeks, and create a clear path beyond the program. You leave with a practice that is genuinely yours.

Is this right for you?

This program is and isn't for everyone.

The Supported Body works best for people who are genuinely ready to commit to the process. Not because commitment is a performance, but because the work requires showing up for yourself consistently, perhaps for the first time.

This is for you if —
✓ You're a high-achieving or high-functioning woman who is used to carrying a lot
✓ You're on the verge of burnout, already burned out, or recovering from it
✓ You're navigating chronic tension, pain, burnout, or nervous system overwhelm
✓ You find value in physio, yoga, or massage and still feel something deeper isn't being reached
✓ You're curious about what your body might be holding and ready to explore that gently
✓ You want to build genuine support, not just manage symptoms
✓ You're based anywhere in the world with a reliable internet connection
This may not be the right fit if —
— You're looking for a passive program with no live component
— You're in acute mental health crisis. This is not a therapy program and cannot substitute for clinical mental health support
— You're looking for high-intensity fitness training
Before you apply: This program involves 6 x 1:1 coaching sessions across 12 weeks and 3 x 15-20 minute workouts per week. If you can commit to both, you're in the right place.

Common questions

Before you apply.

Both, and that's the point. The Supported Body combines progressive physiotherapy-based strength and stability training with somatic embodiment coaching and nervous system support. The physical training builds internal support through breath, coordination, and strength. The coaching helps you explore and shift the deeper patterns that often sit underneath chronic tension, bracing, and overworking — the emotional and energetic layers that most approaches never quite reach. This work is designed to support change on both levels, because in most people they are not separate. It's particularly well suited to high-functioning women who are used to pushing through and are ready to build support from a different place entirely.
Embodiment coaching is an inquiry-based, body-led practice. Rather than analysing or talking through a situation from the outside, we turn attention inward. Toward what's actually happening in the body beneath conscious thought.

Most sessions begin by identifying what you'd like to explore or what feels most present for you. From there, we follow what emerges. Using somatic inquiry, breath, movement, and body-based awareness to explore how a situation or pattern is held in the body. Sensation, emotion, and energy that has been stored can begin to shift and move. People often leave with insight, a sense of physical release, and a quality of clarity that thinking alone rarely brings.

There is no set agenda. We follow what's alive in your body, and let that lead.
Not at all. The program is designed to meet you where you are. Exercises are progressive, short (15-20 minutes), and adapted to different experience levels and capacities. You do not need to already feel confident in your body to begin. In fact, many people who join feel the opposite of that, and this is exactly what the program is designed to address.
Yes — this program was designed with these patterns in mind. People with hypermobility or instability often unconsciously rely on tension and gripping to create a sense of support. People navigating chronic pain or post-viral fatigue (including long COVID) often feel disconnected from their body, depleted, and unsure how to begin moving again without making things worse. The Supported Body focuses on building genuine internal support gradually and gently, in a way that works with your nervous system, not against it.
The program is designed to be genuinely sustainable within real life. Most weeks you can expect: 15-20 minute exercise sessions 3 times per week; one 60-minute 1:1 coaching session approximately every 2-3 weeks (75 minutes for the opening session, 90 minutes for the closing session); and optional guided practices to support integration between sessions.
The program is delivered entirely online — which means you can join from anywhere in the world. The 1:1 coaching sessions are held live via video. The training sessions, guided practices, and resources are delivered digitally and completed at your own pace each week. For clients based in Ōtautahi Christchurch, optional in-person training sessions are available as an add-on for additional hands-on support with the exercise component.
Because this is a high-support, personalised program limited to 8 founding participants, and I want to make sure it's the right fit for you. The application helps me understand where you're at and whether this program is genuinely aligned with what you need right now. Once I've reviewed your application I'll be in touch to confirm your place, or in some cases to suggest a short call to explore further. The intention is not exclusivity. It's care.
