- Design and facilitate at least five embodiment-based interventions appropriate for a coaching (non-therapeutic) container
- Recognize the boundaries between embodiment coaching and somatic therapy, and practice safely and ethically within the coaching scope

Lella Erludóttir
Hi, I'm so glad you're here — and honestly, the fact that you're curious about embodiment coaching tells me something important about you: you sense that there's more available in your coaching sessions than what's currently happening.
I've been a coach for [X years], and for a long time my work was entirely cognitive — goals, stories, beliefs, strategies. It was good work. But I kept noticing a gap. Clients would have real insights in session and then show up the next week unchanged, because the insight lived in their heads and never made it into their bodies or their lives.
Learning embodiment and the neuroscience behind it changed everything about how I coach. My sessions became more dynamic, my clients' results became more lasting, and — if I'm honest — coaching became a lot more fun.
This course is everything I wish had existed when I started this journey. I've designed it to be rigorous enough to be credible and practical enough to use immediately. I'll be with you every step of the way. Let's get into it.
