Hello and Welcome:
Are you using the body’s wisdom to full advantage in moving your clients through change? Are your clients more short-term than you would like? Would you like to learn more about incorporating the body’s wisdom into your work to deepen your clients’ experience?
The body is a powerful resource for moving a client through life change. The body has a natural intelligence and wisdom – and you, like many coaches and other helping professionals, may be unwittingly leaving it OUT of your work.
We live in chaotic times and your clients are constantly faced with making, and adapting to, changes in their lives. You may find that these things happen.
your clients come up with an intention or plan that sounds good but they don't follow through. They keep talking around the same issue without making real progress.- Your clients come up with pro and con lists for the decisions they want to make, and yet they feel insecure about moving forward and are still unsure of what is the right choice for them.
- Your clients have limiting beliefs that they just can’t get past. You’ve tried everything you know, and yet a shift has not occurred.
- Your clients report stress-related body signals and symptoms, and you don’t know how to work with them to deepen an understanding of what’s happening. Their fear takes over and initiatives are undermined.
These things happen because, as professionals, we’ve often been trained to question the mind for the answers and then expect a change in behavior to occur. An important ingredient that is often missing in our training is the use of the body’s natural intelligence. You may be experiencing some of these doubts.
- You may be concerned about the information and insights you are missing by not including the body in the conversation.
- You may think that this knowledge is only for certain gifted people who are already in touch with their bodies and have a greater understanding than you do.
- You may have heard phrases like “move your clients from head to heart” or “get them out of their heads” and you don’t personally know how to do that, even though you agree that it’s a good idea. You have not been taught the skills and techniques to take them there.
- You may ask your clients what their gut hunch is or what’s happening in their body, and be at a loss of what to do next.

Introducing the
Body-Centered Coaching Method
By body-centered coaching, I mean you invite the client to become more aware of their body and then share with you the thoughts, feelings and sensations that arise. In that way, you bring forward more information that deepens both of your understandings of what is truly happening. That’s because your body responds to everything you think and feel and is willing to speak.
Let’s face it – the bottom line for most of the changes that clients want to make are in relation to wanting to feel more abundant in their lives. They want to feel more abundantly happy, fulfilled, joyful, content, satisfied. And the sooner we look at what is getting in the way to create more of what is wanted, the better.
You may not have realized it, but the body is an excellent resource for moving a client through life changes. As clients include more of their body’s wisdom in daily living, suddenly they have a greater capacity to slow down, pay attention and make better decisions in order to embrace change. They begin to experience the joy and excitement of actually seeing the things they want happen. There’s a better quality of life that clients will experience when they learn to become more mindful and self-aware.
...have moved forward into their own greatness as a result.

There is a connection between mindfully noticing body signals and an inner peace that leads to less stress and a greater confidence and better health and well-being. When coaches and helping professionals mindfully include the body’s wisdom in the conversation, a calmness and present sense of self occurs for both the client and the practitioner.
You want to get to the heart of the matter with clients. People have a way of knowing that comes from their head. And what I know is that when they realize that a gut reaction is yet another way of knowing, that happens to be a body experience, they become more curious about what else they can tap into, and trust. When they begin to experience body-centered coaching for themselves, what emerges is that they too want to connect with head and heart.
So, the opportunity to bridge the gap between head and heart becomes a more natural outcome. When someone accesses their body, their whole experience of what they know and understand about themselves and others shifts. Not only do they connect more fully with their way of being in the world, they begin to tap into and trust their own body as a resource.
You may not have made the connection between learning body-centered coaching skills and attracting more clients and keeping them in your practice longer. What I’ve seen is when you include the body’s wisdom in your work, clients go to a greater depth of experience, have more insights and receive more value from their sessions. They become more committed to their own process and they want more. You become a magnet for attracting more clients!

The practice of body-centered coaching recognizes that body, mind and spirit are different aspects of our whole being. For clients to feel peaceful, these aspects need to be inter-connected. By integrating the whole, clients make better decisions and experience greater fulfillment in relation to their endeavors.

I like the integrity her work conveys. "As a counsellor and coach, I found Marlena's Body-Centered Coaching workshop to be invaluable. Marlena's experience and skills as a Hakomi Trained Therapist and her training as a Co-Active Coach offer a unique blend that has resulted in a powerful methodology with application to a variety of disciplines in the helping professions. Using the body as a source of information for change requires stillness. Marlena's personal style is gentle, humorous and patient. She conveys a sense of calm rather than urgency providing a consistent role model for her work. I was particularly impressed with her impeccable sense of timing. She listens deeply to her clients needs and has the ability to motivate and inspire people in the direction of their own potential with insightful and sometimes provocative probes. She does not impose or direct but rather guides and facilitates change. I like the integrity her work conveys." Mary Jordan, M.A. |
This program teaches you a new language and new skills.

Here is a sampling of what you
will learn when
you
make the
commitment to join me and other
like-minded individuals for 7 weeks
to learn and
expand your
body-centered coaching skills.
1. Empowered Listening
As a listener, empowered listening is a way of being as a listener that has the power to impact your clients in a positive way. Your clients’ feeling of safety, their trust of self, their esteem and their potential for personal growth can be significantly affected by your level of good will, awareness and expertise as a listener.
2. Contact the story-teller, not the story
As you become curious about the storyteller rather than the story, you begin to get a sense of the essence of the client’s experience. By acknowledging the essence, rather than the details, you provide the opportunity for the client to feel heard and understood in new ways. As you learn to use contact statements, your clients will go to a much deeper level of sharing and insight.
3. Begin Within: mindfulness & reflection
You will experience how being mindful and reflective has a profound affect on your level of self awareness and your ability to be present. Being present is foundational to be who you truly are...to come home to yourself.
The more you are self-aware and in touch with your body experience, the more easily you can encourage your clients to have an awareness of their mind-body-spirit inter-connection. You become more connected with your true center when you shift away from ordinary awareness to self-awareness or what I call ‘being-awareness’. By learning the skill of mindfulness and the practice of centering, you will experience more balance and stillness. By being in the present moment you will have more access your intuition.
This work has enriched my life and coaching.

4. Experiment with Possibilities
“Experimenting with Possibilities” is a process where options are introduced through a mindful and reflective state of being. This body-centered technique helps clients discover information that is not readily available through the intellect. It is useful for clients as they consider various options and choices. Embracing the skill of mindfulness, a client will tap into the body’s wisdom for added insight and learning. As a coach, you will learn the five step process to guide the client toward the mindful noticing of each possibility.
5. Make Congruent Decisions
If you want to help your clients be more committed to their goals and decisions, you’ll have more success by including body in the process. That’s because if the mind sets a goal that is out of alignment with the body and the spirit, the results will be less than optimal.
What I’ve seen is that when there is congruence between what the mind thinks and how the body feels, decisions are more likely to be made with a commitment to follow through. As a practitioner, you will delight in the magic and forward movement that occurs.
6. Remember the Resource
One of the most endearing things you can do with clients is a body-centered coaching technique I call “Remembering the Resource”. Using this skill, clients connect to their internal resources and a sense of deep personal acceptance. They experience the inner resource that already resides inside them; the resource that may have been unnamed so far; the resource that keeps them going, keeps them resilient, no matter what happens. It aligns them with what has gone right. As this resource is uncovered and named, it becomes an acknowledged strength and part of them that they can easily access and use.

7. Empower New Beliefs
Limiting beliefs are the filters through which we respond to life - creating our behavior, thereby creating our reality. These are habitual reactions we have that don’t serve us and we have some repetitive thoughts that need to be brought to our attention. The practice of body-centered coaching offers a 7 step process for transforming disempowering beliefs and old patterns of behavior into empowering beliefs and behavior.
What I’ve seen is, when clients have limiting thoughts, there is a corresponding tension in the body. The tension patterns hold valuable information for the client. As clients move beyond the limiting belief and choose to embody a more empowering belief, tension in the body is relieved and the mind is clear. They then move forward to make better decisions and reach their goals.
8. Overcome Con-fusions
Fusions are the way we have fused two ideas/things together in our mind, believing they go together. Using hand and arm movements, this technique will assist you, and your clients, to separate the two ideas or concepts that they have fused together. By bringing something subconscious more fully into awareness, change is possible. You will learn the technique and be able to unhook the two ideas. Clients will experience a true sense of freedom by identifying and releasing their fusions.
Clients also have collapsed distinctions or fusions that may act as limiting beliefs. An example would be “If I get too successful, people won’t like me any more.” Amazing as it may sound, by using a few special hand movements, clients can free themselves from the limiting impact of those thoughts.
I am amazed how quickly my energy shifted...

9. Embody Key Words
Along with empowered listening, it is important that you listen to the language your clients use. They may use language in the form of metaphors, word pictures and other words or phrases which are expressive. Often the language they use is representative of how their body is feeling and contains valuable information about how they experience the world. This technique can be used both as a way of being with a client going through a difficult situation or as a way to celebrate an accomplishment with them.
10. Move toward Emotions
Sometimes a client comes to the coaching session totally overwhelmed. The feelings are so strong that it’s obvious that this is the place where the coaching needs to begin. Or, strong emotions may emerge during a session. At this juncture, you may encourage clients to move toward them rather than move away from them. The client moves into their body to explore the energy of the sensations. You are not interested in intellectual insight; you are interested in having your clients experience the energy of the sensations until they come to a place of calmness and spaciousness. Then it is possible to be with the situation.
11. Embrace the Signal
Embracing the signal’ is primarily an attitude. It’s an attitude that says to our body, “I am listening. Thanks for signaling me to pay attention and to be mindful.” In body-centered coaching you get curious about physical sensations: anything from pleasure to pain. Everything that is happening in the body can be something to become interested in; thereby assisting your clients do likewise. It also involves appreciation and giving thanks.
My clients are amazed at the insights

For skill learning, the basic design will be:
Each class we will focus on one or two body-centered techniques and apply them to being abundant. The format will consistently look like this.
- An introduction to the skill
- Personal application of the skill
- A demonstration of the skill
- Feedback, discussion
My personal teaching style is to demonstrate. Talking “about” body-centered coaching can only go so far...it needs to be witnessed and experienced through the body. On our calls together, I will demonstrate all of the chosen techniques. There is something for everyone. As a participant you will have the opportunity to:
- be my client and experience masterful body-centered coaching
- be a witness to the power of body-centered coaching as it is demonstrated
- if you so choose, participate in buddy practice calls
By the end of the tele-training you will:
- Witness demonstrations, engage in discussion.
- Learn from the expert how to use the wisdom of the body to offer a greater depth of learning for your clients.
- Have ample opportunity to ask questions and get to the core of body-centered coaching techniques.
- Experience mindfulness as a way of being in touch with your own body.
- Learn to read your own body signals and gain more access to your intuition.
- Acquire new ways of listening, to yourself and your clients.

Why you should learn from me...
From 1991-1993 I attended a 2 year Hakomi Training (Body-Centered Psychotherapy) and was taught by the founder of the method, Ron Kurtz. I then attended Coaches Training Institute (CTI) where I became a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach and I attended their one year Leadership Program. I integrated the trainings into a method that recognizes that the body has a natural intelligence that can be tapped for more insight and a greater depth of learning. I adapted proven psychotherapy methods to make them coach-like.
