The Embodied Muse Groups
At The Embodied Muse, we create somatically informed artistic experiences that bring people closer to themselves and to each other. Through the transformative power of creative expression and embodied practices, we guide participants toward healing, authentic self-expression, and a purpose-driven life.
Our programs integrate creative arts with therapeutically grounded techniques, led by a mental health therapist with extensive trauma expertise and a passion for authenticity. Each event offers a safe, supportive space to reconnect with your vitality, listen to yourself deeply, and nurture the spark of your true self.
We believe healing and transformation are collective as much as they are personal. By building a community of embodied creatives, we encourage growth, connection, and resilience from the inside out.
