EMBODIMENT COACH & FILMAKER OF SHARE HER STORY

PHYSICAL THERAPIST, MYOFASCIAL RELEASE SPECIALIST
Los Angeles, CA
The main function of the fascia is to absorb shock, separate organs/tissues and transport fluid and nutrients through out the whole body. It also provides structure to our entire body. When in the normal, healthy state, fascia has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. Fascia can easily get damaged by physical (fall, car accident) or emotional trauma on the body. Over time it can lose hydration, stiffen up and cause immobility. Myofascial release entails firm pressure to the fascia system through manual pressure with a prolonged stretch. Join McKenna for myofascial release and subtle energy work to help align the body back into a pain free lifestyle.

Women are natural caregivers, empaths, and nurturers, often freely giving and offering support to others sometimes before caring for themselves. But we cannot pull from an empty well – we are only as good to others as we are to ourselves. The more we resource and nourish ourselves, the more we can express our full potential, enjoy life, be present, and show up for those we love. By becoming more aware of our bodies, minds, emotions and the relationship between them, we can greatly enhance our well-being and strengthen the contributions we are able to make to the world around us. This workship will offer you an opportunity to connect with other women and deepen into and discover your own internal resources, allowing you to find the support you need to continue to share your gifts. Using somatic and mindfulness practices, journaling prompts, and self-massage, you will be guided in developing self-care practices and rituals that will last a lifetime.
THERAPEUTIC COACH
Fairfield, CT
Beth will support and guide you as you transform your story connected to grief and trauma towards your story of self love and healing. She integrates therapy (LCSW), EMDR, Life Coaching, Reiki healing and yoga (specializing in Grief Yoga as well Yoga for Teens) with her clients and students. She integrates these modalities 1:1, in groups, classes and workshops as a way to support her clients and students as they heal their past, explore ways to be present and create vision and possibility.
Grief is a natural process that we all experience. As a collective, we are experiencing grief in different shapes and forms. Grief may be the death of a loved one, a divorce, loss of a job, pet loss, or even the loss of the identity you once had. In many ways, the pandemic reflects how we are all grieving the life we expected. Grief yoga is not a “regular” yoga class focused on strength or flexibility. Rather, it’s an experience of emotional liberation held with compassion.
This practice uses a cycle of transformation, including movement, breath, and sound, to gain awareness, clear emotions, connect and surrender so you can reconnect with love.
Conscious breathwork is a technique to move energy through the body and welcome powerful shifts. This specific breathing modality can be used as a portal to promote healing and deepen your connection to intuition. The breath is an incredible tool which can unlock energy and old stories and create space for lightness and expansive awareness.
Some benefits of breathwork may include: releasing the feelings often associated with anxiety, depression, fear, anger, stress, overwhelm, trauma, and energy blocks. This process allows you to disconnect from the mind and enter a deep space of healing to enhance mental, physical and spiritual aspects of your life.
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “Universal Life-Force Energy.” It is a non-invasive technique that supports individuals on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level by balancing energy throughout the body and promoting healing. This session is an invitation and opportunity to gain awareness of where you may be stuck, give yourself permission to release, and a key to unlock your intuition.
Because Beth is also a therapist (LCSW, specializing in EMDR) and coach, your session (if you choose) will integrate other tools to support you. You have everything you need right inside of you. Beth will hold this space for you so you can begin to tune into your wisdom.
Please join us for an experience with Womxn that begins with self-love. It’s important that we love every part of ourselves, even the parts that feel messy. During our time together we are going to explore self-love through expression, creativity, movement, and connection.
