What is embodiment?
Embodiment Strategies to Transform Your Life. Embodiment, in the simplest of terms, is when mind, body, breath and soul are in a coherent rhythm and flow.
It is also:
- The capacity to remain present in the body through all of life’s experiences, including intense sensations of aliveness and energy.
Physical Embodiment
Physical Embodiment through somatic awareness, yoga postures, breathing techniques, as well as mindful and expressive movement can help you feel good in your body and at home in your own skin. Embodiment enhances your health and overall wellness. I specialize in working with people with medical syndromes and chronic pain using Somatic Experiencing, restorative yoga, yoga nidra and meditation. I am certified yoga teacher in the Himalayan tradition of Sri Vidya and offer private sessions to support your physical and emotional healing.
Emotional Embodiment
Emotional Embodiment through embodiment-based therapies designed to promote wise responses to life's challenges using the cutting-edge trauma healing modality of Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness, skills-based cognitive-behavioral therapy, and simple yet effective self-inquiry processes from the science of yoga. Emotions are a combination of physical sensations and cognitive interpretations because all emotions have functions and co-relate to nervous system states. My work is grounded in principles of embodied cognition, affective neuroscience, and the yogic model of the mind. I encourage the use of the observer mind to process and integrate emotional reactions in the body in order to access deep inner wisdom.
Spiritual Embodiment
Spiritual Embodiment to integrate the transcendent with the mundane and allow your spiritual endeavors to help you reach your highest potential as a human being. Learn how your body is the gateway to practical spirituality, and how all the powers inherent in the universe reside within you. As Tantric Hatha Yoga teacher in the Sri Vidya tradition, I can train you in meditation techniques to harness your lifeforce and connect to the light of your soul.

It is also:
- The capacity to remain present in the body through all of life’s experiences, including intense sensations of aliveness and energy.
- The ability to observe and contain our own lifeforce within the boundaries of our skin, muscles, bones, tissues, and viscera.
- The skill to experience the vital force of our emotions without disconnecting, fragmenting, or dissociating.

Who Benefits from Working with Me?
- Anyone who understands that all healing is self-healing and is willing to be proactive in their self-care by integrating skills learned in their sessions into their daily life.
- Those who have an interest in somatic therapy and the capacity (or willingness to learn) to track their internal experience and witness their mental, emotional, and bodily states of activation until they settle or change.
- Other healers who are needing support as they work to support others, and who would like to learn more about the polyvagal theory, somatic trauma therapy and/or yoga integration in their work with others.
- Yoga practitioners who want to take their practice to the next level by incorporating philosophy, self-inquiry/vichara, pranayama, meditation and mantra into their personal sadhana.

What Can you Expect from Sessions with Me?

- My work with you would be uniquely tailored to your expressed needs and personal interests. We would jointly decide what will be the right course of action to achieve your desired goals.
- An individual or group session with me will include paying attention not just to your thoughts and memories, but also to the ways your body is communicating your experience through posture, gestures, images, sensations, and emotions.
- My work is consciously and deliberately paced to what you and your nervous system can experience without undue distress. We would collaborate in helping you move through uncomfortable states in a way that is manageable and transformative.
- We might incorporate touch, movement, and vocalizations as a way to contain, redirect and support the release of activation or constriction held in the body.
- We will also attend to the appearance of archetypal images and altered states as needed, as well as work with dream fragments and mystical experiences in an embodied way.

Inge was simply the best collaborator for a research project at Florida
International University, a unique project aimed at child welfare workers:
CriticalThinkRx, A Critical Skills Curriculum on Psychotropic Medications.
Inge was the project's heart: identifying, organizing, and synthesizing
information from thousands of publications from psychopharmacology,
psychiatry, psychology, law, counseling, and social work, and shaping in
every way the success of this curriculum. She organized the field testing of
CriticalThinkRx in eight foster care agencies in Miami-Dade and Broward
counties and collaborated on the publication of the study. The online
curriculum was taken by over 35,000 clinical social workers, psychologists,
and attorneys in the US. Inge was exceptionally skilled, giving heart and
soul to this project from beginning to end, and infusing her respect for
children and their experiences into every one of its facets.

Inge was instrumental in creating Unity on the Bay’s Congregational Care
Ministry, which provided support services, spiritual counseling, and therapy
referrals for people going through challenging times. She led many support
groups and workshops, most recently a series of Grief Support Groups for
congregation members dealing with the death of loved ones during the
COVID-19 pandemic. Her heart-centered wisdom, coupled with somatic
knowledge, created a wonderful space of healing. Inge is of the utmost
integrity, and we have always felt safe and nurtured by her presence.

Inge was distinctly selected from a wide group of applicants to participate in a disaster relief pilot program. She joined a small group of mental health responders in the post-hurricane Ida Louisiana Bayou to provide psychosocial support resources through our crisis stabilization and safety (CSS) program. Inge’s contribution to this project was above and beyond meaningful and beneficial to the clients and to her colleagues! Her depth of presence, her robust somatic skills, and her clear ability to meet people in crisis under any circumstances are exemplary. She is a source of deep healing, hope, and support to others. And most importantly, she is fun and full of joy, which is a real plus in trying times of hard fieldwork!

Inge’s powerful presence helps one feel safe and seen. She holds sacred space, actively listens, and leads with empathy and compassion as a teacher, coach, and counselor. I have always found her to be a fierce, vulnerable, joyful, ethical, and authentic seeker of truth who remains a humble student of spiritual traditions and lives her yoga off the mat.

As the founder of an association for eating disorders in El Salvador, I met Inge when she successfully treated many Salvadoran women at Oliver Pyatt Centers in Miami. We founded the association in 2005 to increase professional awareness of eating disorders. In 2011, we invited Inge to San Salvador to train approximately 30 psychologists and related professionals on the assessment and treatment of eating disorders. She received high marks for her contribution, and they received new tools in the integration of somatic practices of embodiment for eating disorder sufferers.
