The Embautied Method
The scenario I hear more often than not:
You keep working out, you keep going to physical therapy, but you aren't feeling more stable or connected to your body. You're putting in the time and effort, but still feel like you lack the knowledge and tools to understand and manage your body on a daily basis.
I know you're frustrated, but you're not alone.
More often than not, this isn't because you haven't found the correct workout yet, it's because you need help learning how to workout correctly.
You need help learning how to translate what you're experiencing during workouts into daily life.
And most importantly, you need interactive instruction because a workout video without feedback is ineffective and potentially dangerous.
Enter the Embautied method.
Most hypermobile people struggle with basic body awareness (proprioception), joint stability, and muscle engagement (interoception). All of these impair the body's ability to recruit the proper muscles when moving and at rest. The result is the body ends up masking or performing, going through the motions without using the proper muscles to do it.
But this isn't your fault!
You just need a little more help developing 'bautie intelligence' than some others do.
The Embautied method addresses all of these by moving slowly, focusing on breathing with safe alignment, and teaching the anatomy of movement for exercise and beyond.
And the Embautied method includes a combination of strength training, stability training, and yoga because our bodies aren't binary, and efficiency matters when you a finate number of spoons.
Do you sell hypermobile workout programs?
No, I do not sell stand-alone workout programs. I feel strongly that they rarely work for people who struggle with basic body awareness, and can very easily lead to injury. I believe interactive instruction with live feedback is the only way to safely develop bautie intelligence.
Everyone deserves access to interactive instruction. This is why I do my best to keep costs as low as possible and intentionally charge less than most other professionals with a single certification.
What type of movement / workouts do you offer?
I'm certified for strength training, stability training, yoga, and finishing Pilates Instructor training.
You can rest assured knowing that whichever type of movement your body needs, you can get it in one place, taught through a hypermobile lens.
Do you only offer exercise sessions?
No!
I offer weekly workshops, which aren't movement-based.
I also offer weekly Breathe & Learn sessions.
Last, I'm also a certified health coach. I can help with sleep, nutrition, nervous system awareness, and addressing common barriers to your health & wellbeing like executive functioning and sensory issues.
FAQs
Who Comes to Embautied?
Everything is better with Bendy Friendies!
Some commonalties among many who choose Embautied:
-
Hypermobile/HSD/hEDS/EDS
-
Prior to learning I’m hypermobile, I primarily worked with folks coming out of physical therapy after having knees and hips replaced. I’ve always been passionate about the importance of stability work, which has only grown exponentially.
-
-
Millennials / 35+ years old
-
As we get older, those things that used to be a nuisance turn to constant aches and pains that require more direct support than traditional workout programs and classes provide.
-
-
Unable to access physical therapy
-
Personal training is not a direct substitute for physical therapy, but can be a good alternative if therapy is not accessible since most personal training starts with very similar foundational stability work
-
-
Are in physical therapy, but need more support than it provides
-
Want and need to go beyond corrective exercise, transitioning to more advanced stability work, and eventually incorporating strength training
-
Need help interpreting PT exercises when there’s a ‘hypermobile language barrier’
-
-
Neurodivergent / PTSD / Complex Trauma
-
Your brain impacts your body during exercise and beyond. You need a trainer who understands that physical and emotional safety are paramount.
-
-
Managing multiple chronic illnesses
-
Traditional workout plans are hard because they don’t account for flares, fatigue, etc. Embautied supports and helps you manage without losing hope or feeling like you’ve been set back
-
-
Need to understand the anatomy of movement and how that transfers beyond exercise and into daily life
-
Traditional workouts often don’t account for the sheer lack of proprioception and interoception issues many people struggle with. It isn’t enough to tell you to engage your core or shoulders, you need to see the muscles involved and understand how it feels in your body when they’re properly activated and engaged. That’s experiential anatomy, and you will feel the difference.
-
Why Embautied Health & Movement?
When it comes to the desire to feel better and manage life in a way that works for you rather than against you, it can be incredibly difficult to know where to even begin.
Often people are misled into biting off more than they can metaphorically chew or start with niche, "promise-to-be-a-miracle" solutions that leave them feeling even worse about themselves afterward. This is especially true if you aren’t neurotypical or able-bodied, or live with chronic illness.
What You Can Expect From Me
-
I believe in balance.
-
I believe you deserve evidence-based information with plenty of nuance because almost nothing is black-and-white, especially when it comes to our bodies.
-
I think focusing on the basics is always important, but not a substitute for medical interventions to prevent, manage, and/or heal disease. They should work together, not mutually exclusive of one another.
What You Shouldn't Expect From Me
-
I do not offer meal plans nor will I advocate for specific “diets” unless medically prescribed to you.
-
I won’t gaslight you for bad days or very real barriers like access, illness, mental health, finances, food and environmental sensitives, etc.
-
I won’t let you follow advice that isn’t evidence-based or is likely to lead you down a dangerous pipeline.
-
I won’t push you to dissociate or do things that make you uncomfortable to achieve arbitrary goals.
-
I won’t let you set weight or aesthetic-related goals.
The only goal I care about is how stable and validated you feel while empowering you with tools to understand and manage your body even on your worst days.
