Final Project:
1. Describe your process. How did you choose your project? Why did you choose this
method?
This topic has been close to my heart since I moved to the US with $80 to my name and an
unshakeable desire to deepen my healing process and rebuilding my relationship to myself.
With guidance and support from others I learnt about the vast wisdom and healing powers of the
human body through breath and mindful movement. I wanted to integrate the lessons I’ve
picked up from other coaches in mindful movement exploration as well as pain science
education, to serve someone who may be in a similar position to where I was back in 2019. I
chose this method as it creates a fun and digestible way to understand how the brain and body
works together, to empower and educate someone who is seeking freedom from their pain
experience.
2.. What felt good ( or provided a healthy challenge) in creating this project?
Taking these big ideas and concepts, to put it all together in an engaging, fun, digestible and
exciting way. How can I communicate something so BIG N JUICY in a way that is clear, simple,
and pretty easy to understand and experience? Here I get to experiment with language,
imagery, and flow of communication.
3. What do you think your project offers the viewer/participant? (Tools for accessing a
Flow state, more awareness of the floor, etc. )
This project offers the participant a way to deepen their relationship to themselves and their
bodies IN SPITE OF experiences of pain whether it’s physical, mental, or emotional. It provides
the safe and supportive container to drop into presence - empowered by education around the
nervous system so it no longer has to be a confusing or scary subject. It allows room for
authentic expression and exploration.
4. If there is ONE thing that you would do differently, what is it?
Perhaps a talking head video of me going over the presentation, or an audio or video recording
of myself leading the participant through a movement experience. I do better at hands-on
coaching and picking up what my clients put down in person.
5. What did you learn from this experience that you will apply to your own training or
teaching?
I don’t have to word vomit all over my coaching with ALLLLL the details of what I know about a
particular topic. I can keep it simple, and easy to understand by adjusting my language and
keeping prompts relatively simple. This applies to my training as well in the way that less is
more! When I narrow my options of things to explore for my practice there is a sense of freedom
from clearly defined focuses.
2C. 1-3 Sentence Summary of your project.
What did you do? Why should anyone watch it?
Educating, empowering, and guiding people to their bodies’ inner wisdom, so that they may
befriend their pain experiences and as a result, heal and recover in a way that promotes
self-efficacy and autonomy
