We aren’t taught or encouraged to listen to our bodies. In fact, many of us were actively discouraged from listening to our bodies. Told to eat what’s on your plate, even if it makes you gag. To ask permission to use the bathroom, even when you need to go. To “stop being lazy” even when you were sick and exhausted. To be polite and hug your weird uncle, even though he made your skin crawl.

So it’s no surprise that as an adult, you continue to eat foods you know make you feel sick. Or hold your pee for half a work day until you earn the right to get up. It’s not a surprise that you never take sick days or that you struggle to speak up for yourself. 

Most of us were taught early on to abandon ourselves in the name of being good, polite and responsible. You learn that it’s okay to power through your “no” even when your body is screaming that something isn’t right. You learn that your body’s signals don’t matter so you stop trusting them. You learn that your needs don’t matter so you tune out your inner voice. 

Eventually, you block them both out completely.

Until you don’t even recognize yourself anymore. 

But just because you stopped listening, doesn’t mean your body stopped screaming. Your body’s signals grow bigger and get louder. Chronic pain, mystery illnesses, body aches, insomnia, rashes, nausea, headaches. 

In an effort to find answers, you try different treatments, doctors, regimens, medicines, supplements, diet plans. Each time hoping that this will be “the thing” that finally solves it but the magic solution never comes. Because looking to experts and following other people’s diets is just another way to deepen the disconnection from your own body. 

Your body is already telling you what it needs. But are you listening? 

In this 3 month experience, you will learn to truly listen to your own body. You will create a more connected relationship with your body, cultivate more body awareness and learn to understand your body’s cues.

Our monthly meetings will focus on somatic practices to help you become more present and more connected with your body as well as Q&A. In between meetings, you will track your body’s signals, notice symptom trends and discover how to best support your health moving forward. You will have access to Abby’s office hours in between meetings for support between sessions.

What will you discover about yourself? 

This is for you if:

• You struggle to know what you are feeling physically and emotionally
• You don’t notice aches and pains until they are blaring
• You feel disconnected from or have lost feeling in certain areas of the body 
• You go all or nothing. You either are fully on the wagon, or fully off the wagon. You struggle to maintain a healthy balance with food, exercise, rest.
• You want to feel better in your body but you’re not sure what to do. So you try another diet, regimen or protocol. It’s restrictive and you can’t sustain it, so you give up. A few months later you feel bad about yourself again and try a new one. Rinse and repeat. 
• You feel confused in workout classes and find cues hard to follow. You’re not that familiar with your body and where it is in space. You spend a lot of the class looking around and following others. 
• You frequently get hurt trying to “do the right things” for your body
• You don’t recognize your body or yourself anymore
