Embodying Presence

Intimacy & Sexuality Coaching, Gippsland

Presence -
the struggle

It can feel like such a foreign concept, or a fleeting moment that comes and goes before you've even realised you were there. 

For many women, presence lives as an idea.

Something we should be better at.

Something we reach for in the middle of busy days, full minds, and full lives.

And yet ..... it can feel just out of reach. 

Like a constant returning. Or a quiet frustration ......

"Why can't I just stay here?" 

The reality for so many of us - we are stuck in the past or in the future. 

Embodied presence what is it really?

Embodied presence is the state of being fully here, in your body, in the moment, with what is actually happening, without trying to escape, control, or override it.

It’s not just awareness in the mind.

It’s a whole-body experience.

Presence is when your attention, your sensation, and your awareness are all in the same place at the same time.

It’s not about being perfectly calm, still, or regulated. You can be anxious, emotional, activated and still be present.

Presence is simply your capacity to stay with yourself in the midst of whatever is arising. And for many people, that capacity has never been deeply developed, not because something is wrong, but because we’ve been conditioned to leave ourselves in order to function.

So presence isn’t something you achieve.

It’s something you practice returning to again and again until being here becomes more familiar than leaving.

What i am offerming you

Intimacy & Sexuality Coaching, Gippsland

I want to offer something different to you. 

A space where presence is not something you try to force, get right or practice perfectly.

I am offering you the opportunity to get out of your head, access presence through your body, to somatically unpack your experience, to listen to other women's felt sense and challenges and move through areas of resistance.

I am inviting you into a small group experience, an emergent, co-created space where we explore presence in real time. Not as a concept. But as a lived, felt experience. 

This work is somatic, relational, and deeply experiential and embodied. 

You, along with each woman in the room, will shape how this space unfolds. There is no rigid structure to follow. No fixed outcome to achieve. Instead, we will be working with what is here, moment to moment. 

What You'll Explore
in our time together

This work is slow work. I'm not going to lie and sell you something else. It is subtle, nuanced, honest and often far more powerful than we expect.

You won't be asked to perform presence. You'll be supported to find your way into it. 

Areas of exploration will include:

  • 5 layers of presence
  • Nervous system expansion - working with attention, capacity and overwhelm
  • Inner and relational presence
  • Somatic exploration, body-based inquiry and embodiment
  • Noticing patterns of leaving, avoiding, fawning or controlling
  • The practice of returning -again and again
  • Deep attunement and listening

 

I cannot map out exactly what will unfold inside this space. And that's the point. Presence doesn't follow a script. It reveals itself in real time. Through you, through the group, through what is alive in each moment. This is beautiful work to explore as a group of women. 

This space is designed to gently meet you. Not to "fix" your presence, but to expand your capacity to stay. 

Is this for you?

This exploration is for:

  • Women who find it difficult to stay present in conversations, relationships or daily life
  • Women who feel a disconnection with themselves or their bodies
  • Women who notice themselves rushing, bracing or constantly "doing"
  • Women who feel the pull toward something deeper, but don't know how to access it
  • Women that are curious about exploring presence through the body, not the mind
  • Women who are willing to slow down
  • Women who are open to being seen in a real and human way
  • Women who have the capacity to be with other women in their experience
