Embodied Awareness: a journey to interoception

Have you ever noticed your body speaking to you—tension, tightness, pain, unexplainable illnesses or even hunger—but struggled to understand what it was saying?

Have you ever felt disconnected from your own emotions or overwhelmed by overthinking? 

What if I told you that your body has its own language, and learning to interpret it could help you regulate stress, feel more at ease, and deeply reconnect with yourself? 

That’s where interoception comes in—it’s the key to unlocking your body’s signals, and I’m excited to share something that will help you begin this journey of embodied awareness.

Interoception is the ability to sense and understand the internal signals your body sends. Think of it as your inner compass, guiding you to recognize when you’re hungry, stressed, or need rest- or further, can indicate changes to your emotional environment.  

Trauma impacts our ability to tune in and utilize interoception. When we’re unable to notice our inner sensations, it’s often our brain’s way of trying to protect us from further pain. Yet, without awareness of our emotional state, we may struggle to support our nervous system and find true calm. 

Healthy interoception—the ability to sense what’s happening in our bodies—requires both logic and emotion working together. When we’re disconnected from this process, we often get stuck in our minds, leading to rumination, anxiety, tension, or even shutdown. But by reconnecting with our bodies, we open the door to self-regulation and genuine relief.

This is for you if you’ve been feeling disconnected from your body, experience anxiety and tension in the body, know your body is taking to you, but you don't know how to interpret it's signals, overwhelmed by stress, or want to develop a greater sense of self-regulation.

I’m excited to introduce you to my 4-Week Embodied Awareness program, starting this January. In this journey, you’ll learn to recognize and respond to your body’s signals, building resilience, ease, and deeper self-connection.
