Embodied Wellness
1:1 support through yoga, meditation, and breathwork.
What Is Embodied Wellness?
At River & Stone Psychology, embodied wellness sessions offer gentle, grounded support for those seeking to reconnect with themselves in a deeper way — beyond words and into the body.
These sessions draw on the principles of yoga, mindfulness, and somatic practices, woven together with a trauma-informed and nervous system-aware lens.
They are designed to support emotional regulation, reduce stress, and help you feel more present, more centred, and more at home in yourself.
Who These Sessions Support
This offering is for those seeking a deeper relationship with the body, or who are simply looking for a pause — a way to come back to centre. It’s particularly suited to those feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or craving a slower pace.
You don’t need to be flexible or experienced — just open to meeting yourself where you are.
These sessions can be a beautiful complement to therapy or a stand-alone practice of care and reconnection. They are especially supportive for:
Emotional overwhelm and anxiety
Chronic stress or burnout
Nervous system dysregulation
Feeling disconnected from your body or your sense of self
Transitions, grief, and life changes
A Trauma-Informed Approach
I am a trained yoga and meditation teacher, with training in trauma-informed and nervous system-led approaches. My style is slow, attuned, and invitational — there is no ‘right way’ to be here. These sessions are about meeting yourself with curiosity and care.
FAQs
-
Not at all. These sessions are designed to be accessible and beginner-friendly — no experience is necessary. We move gently and slowly, and everything is offered as a choice. You’re always welcome to adapt, pause, or rest.
-
Embodied wellness sessions are not psychological therapy and don’t involve formal assessment, diagnosis, or treatment planning and provision. Instead, they offer a space for exploration, grounding, and reconnection with yourself through body-based practices. These sessions may complement therapy but are not a substitute for it.
-
Absolutely— many people find that embodied work deepens and supports their therapeutic process. If you’re already seeing a psychologist or counsellor, this can be a lovely adjunct to help integrate insights and support nervous system regulation.
-
Each session is tailored to you. We might begin with a check-in and grounding, followed by breathwork, gentle movement or restorative poses, guided meditation, and reflection. There’s plenty of space to slow down, listen to your body, and move at your own pace.
-
Just yourself. If we’re working in person, I’ll provide all props and equipment. If online, I’ll let you know how to set up your space and suggest items like a cushion, blanket, or yoga mat to help you feel supported.
-
Yes — my approach is grounded in trauma-sensitive principles. That means we go slowly, you have choice and agency at all times, and nothing is ever forced or assumed. My training in trauma-informed yoga and somatic work informs how I hold space with care and attunement.
-
If you’re feeling disconnected from your body, overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or simply drawn to a slower, more embodied way of healing — this might be for you. You’re welcome to reach out with questions or to book a free 15-minute call to explore whether it’s a good fit.
