Did you know oppositional movement is not a disorder?

M-Bodied Therapy & Coaching are both grounded in the principles and practices of the mindful embodiment method Chi for Two.

Chi for Two, an advanced somatic therapy method and ISMETA-Approved Training Program, synthesizes many trauma healing modalities which draw from attachment theory, developmental movement, meditative arts, social justice and psychology, to name a few.

Child psychiatrist Janet Kestenberg, dance/movement therapist Susan Loman, and colleagues emphasized the importance of early developmental rhythms, including those called “fighting” rhythms that help us to explore autonomy and eventual individuation.

When these early relational rhythms can be supported, celebrated and channeled by caregivers, these developmental moves become part of our necessary movement vocabulary for presence, engagement, boundaries and connection throughout life.

Chi for Two trains practitioners in helping to invite emerging moves, particularly those that have become inhibited due to systemic, cultural and multi-generational patterning.

When new moves, like moves radiating from deep within the core—the pelvis—can be supported and validated by the trained somatic therapist, over time, one becomes more able to express, rather than inhibit, these important expressions that serve our journey in life.

Somatic Movement Group in Atlanta: M-Bodied: Mindful Movement as Mothering Medicine®
This is a space to come back into your body—gently, with support, and at your own pace.

When words don’t quite reach it…
when something feels stuck, looping, or just out of reach…movement can begin to open new pathways.

This somatic movement group offers a relational, developmentally-informed approach to supporting your nervous system, your expression, and your capacity to feel more like yourself—in your body and in your life.

You might be a good fit for this group if you:

…are already in therapy and want something more experiential
You’ve done meaningful insight work—and you’re ready to feel and embody change, not just understand it.

…are a parent curious about your patterns and your impact
You want to respond to your children with more presence and steadiness—but notice your own reactions, overwhelm, or old patterns getting in the way.
This space supports you in becoming the grounded, responsive support your child is asking for

…are exploring sobriety, recovery, or your relationship with control
You may be navigating disconnection, numbing, or intensity—and want a more supported, body-based way to be with yourself.
This work helps you reconnect gradually, without force or pressure.

…feel disconnected from your body—or want to feel more like yourself in it
Maybe you feel shut down, overextended, or unsure how to access your energy, voice, or expression.
This is a space to rediscover those parts of you—at your own pace.

…are drawn to embodiment—but want something real, not performative
Not a class where you have to get it right.
A space where you can explore—from micro-movements to fuller expression—with support, curiosity, and choice.

Details:

Tuesdays 1:00–2:00 PM
Kirkwood neighborhood, Atlanta, GA

Ongoing group with a 3-month commitment
$200/month

Open to all bodies (18+)
No movement experience necessary

An initial interview is required to support group fit and readiness

“When fixation limits expression, it can be useful to let go of form altogether and reconnect to flow. Attention to the fluid system of the body connects all the parts.” Andrea Olsen

Our earliest experience of life depended on flow. From the flow of our mother’s life support via the placenta, to the flow of being cradled in the womb we inhabited, to the flow of amniotic fluid that offered buoyancy and resistance for our first moves from the center-outward. These are our first experiences of flow: nourishment, support and mobilization.

Navel Radiation, a developmental movement concept, can help support reorganizing, re-membering, repatterning and reparenting connection to your center, your Belly-brain, your intuition, your core awareness.

Interested in a relational somatic practice that connects you with your center?

I offer a Somatic Movement Group in Atlanta (Kirkwood neighborhood) on Tuesdays 1-2pm. I intentionally keep this group limited to 4 people due to the relational nature of the group. If interested, please reach out at [email protected]

No one gets what is ideal. ❤️‍🩹

However, when we have somatic knowing of what is ideal, we become who we would have become if we had gotten what is ideal. ⭐

M-Bodied® Therapy and Coaching are both grounded in the principles & practices of the somatic trauma healing and embodiment method Chi for Two®, which groups and sequences early relational embodiment practices as symbolic redos for nervous system functioning and healthy relationships.️

Chi for Two, a mindful embodiment method, offers somatic movement healing practices that are relational and developmental. The relational experience serves as a foundation for the somatic healing experience, therefore:

🌀”It’s not the movement that heals trauma but the relational dance involving the movement.” 🌀

Chi for Two (Chi meaning energy, Two meaning relational) is a synthesis of many trauma healing methods and is an Approved Training Program with ISMETA (International Somatic Movement Education & Therapy Association).

Chi for Two practitioners offer somatic healing in a way that “dances with” clients instead of “doing something to” a client.

Trained Chi for Two coaches help to re-pattern nervous system functioning by:

*using an invitational approach
*offering relational somatic support
*celebrating new movement expressions over time that provide a robust quality of embodiment and healing.

M-Bodied® Somatic Movement Group in Atlanta: Mindful movement for deeper nourishment, nervous system support, and embodied change

Maybe you notice the same patterns repeating in your body, your relationships, or your emotional life. Maybe you feel disconnected from your energy, your voice, or your sense of ease. Or maybe you simply sense that your body is asking for something more—more support, more movement, more room to be fully yourself.

M-Bodied Movement Group offers a space to explore healing and growth through relational, developmentally-informed movement practices.

This is not a fitness class or a performance-based yoga group. It is a therapeutic movement experience designed to help you reconnect with your body’s developmental rhythms for increased nervous system functioning and an expanded capacity for presence, expression, and self-support.

Over time, these practices can support:
*greater ease in your body
*more clarity and steadiness in daily life
*increased emotional flexibility
*healthier boundaries and self-expression
*more access to energy, pleasure, and vitality

The result? New moves. Healthier patterns. More you.

WHAT WE EXPLORE:
Along with developmentally significant yoga poses and sequences, members explore somatic movement practices inspired by the 4 Emanations of Embodiment:

💫 Navel Radiation - Reconnect with your core and experience more fluidity, support, and internal organization.

💫 Contralateral Movement - Explore developmental cross-patterning that helps integrate the body, support coordination, and invite more ease and flow.

💫 Gesture - Expand your energetic skin—your capacity for presence, expression, and boundaries in relationship.

💫 Handling - Build greater movement vocabulary and self-support so you can feel more resourced, responsive, and grounded.

(PS, So do Sunday morning pancakes 🥞!)

Navel Radiation, a developmental movement concept, can help support reorganizing, re-membering, repatterning and reparenting connection to your center, your Belly-brain, your intuition, your core awareness.

And, sometimes it’s helpful to have relational support when connecting with your center, your you-est you.

“There is often a sense that one is either the master or the victim of one’s own body. When communication breaks down, we are left polarized within ourselves. It becomes important to understand that the body has its own way of functioning, its own way of telling us what’s going on inside, its own logic. Much of our task is to learn to listen.”
~ Andrea Olsen, BodyStories

As a parent of three, & as a therapist who offers family therapy and parent support, I often hear parents wanting support for their kids’ big behaviors, especially as they try to steer away from old-school punishment.

However, reading all the books and watching all the social media tips don’t seem to “click” in the heat of the moment for parent or child. 🔥

Parents’ bodies, nervous systems, need more support, more practice to stay steady in the thick of it. I help parents learn how to not just intellectualize but literally move through triggering dynamics with a greater capacity for their own embodied steadiness. ❤️

No one gets ideal parenting; None of us need to be perfect parents! Matter of fact, research shows “mismatch” is 70% of our love dynamics (that means messiness is normal!). 💯

And - it’s not just about staying calm. This is about parents moving through the heat with a greater capacity to stay present, celebrate each unique child’s journey of growth, and set appropriate limits along with healthy doses of connection. 🌀

When parents can learn how to better “catch & channel” their own big energy, they feel more equipped to catch & channel their kids’ energy (including the inevitable pushes-and-pulls through all the developmental years that are necessary for healing & aliveness!)

M-Bodied guides parents & caregivers how to:
• better recognize nervous system, developmental, & trauma responses
• appreciate attachment as an ongoing relational practice
• feel equipped to offer body-based co-regulation practices to children that benefit the whole family

Both M-Bodied Therapy & Coaching are grounded in the principles and practices of Chi for Two®, which groups and sequences early relational embodiment practices as symbolic redos for nervous system functioning & healthy relationships.
