Women’s Embodiment Circle


Heal Inner Child Wounds & Break Free from Generational Patterns

A Trauma-Informed Somatic Healing Circle for Women & Femmes in Columbus, Ohio.

Over 13 weeks, combine somatic healing, inner child work, and IFS in a supportive group setting to:

  • Release patterns of stress, anxiety, and perfectionism.

  • Heal attachment wounds and rebuild self-trust.

  • Create emotional capacity for joy, connection, and confidence.

What Is the Women’s Embodiment Circle?

You’ve hit a wall with therapy, affirmations, and self-help, and yet the same struggles keep showing up:

  • You feel overwhelmed by emotions or numb to them.

  • Boundaries feel impossible to set without guilt or conflict.

  • You keep repeating patterns in relationships, even when you know what you want.

  • Self-doubt, perfectionism, or people-pleasing keep holding you back from living fully.

These struggles aren’t a reflection of failure—they’re your body’s way of protecting you, shaped by past experiences and generational patterns.

In this small, supportive 13-week circle, you’ll combine somatic healing, inner child work, mindfulness, and community connection to:

  • Release deeply rooted emotional and physical patterns.

  • Rebuild self-trust and confidence in a safe, non-judgmental space.

  • Reconnect with your body and align with the life you want.

This is more than a support group—it’s your next step toward meaningful, lasting change.

Does This Sound Familiar?


You’ve worked hard on yourself, but certain struggles keep showing up no matter what you try:

  • Attachment Struggles: Trusting others or being vulnerable feels scary and unsafe.

  • Boundaries & People-Pleasing: Saying no or setting boundaries makes you worried about conflict or rejection, so you settle when you don’t want to—feeling resentful or depleted.

  • Perfectionism & Self-Doubt: You overthink every decision, afraid of failing or being judged, which keeps you stuck in procrastination.

  • Emotional Overwhelm: Stress, anxiety, or anger build up until you either shut down or lash out, leaving you feeling out of control.

  • Body Disconnection: After years of shame or discomfort, your body feels like a stranger—or even the enemy.

  • Generational Patterns: You see how old family dynamics still affect your life, but breaking those cycles feels overwhelming.

  • "Being part of this community with Valerie has been life-changing. I’ve found a space that’s safe, genuine, and supportive, unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Each session gives me clarity, confidence, and the courage to be fully myself. It’s so much more than coaching—it’s truly a circle of transformation."

What You’ll Gain

Over three months, you’ll experience meaningful shifts like:

  • Emotional Freedom: Learn to regulate your emotions without feeling overwhelmed or shutting down.

  • Self-Trust and Confidence: Quiet your inner critic and take action without fear or doubt.

  • Healthier Relationships: Heal attachment wounds and set boundaries with ease.

  • Reconnect with your Body: Feel at ease and empowered in your own skin.

  • Experience Joy: Break free from overthinking and self-sabotage to embrace life’s playful, fulfilling moments.

  • Aligned Growth: Build clarity, resilience, and habits that support your goals.

  • "I found this group when I needed it most. There was no judgment or side-eye, just support and encouragement. It was a loving and kind space where it is okay to not be okay. And I haven't been okay for a while. I will be okay, eventually. And this course is a big part of that. If you need a supportive space where it is okay to fall apart, you found your home."

What Makes This Different?

This isn’t just another women’s group. Here’s what sets it apart:

  • Holistic Practices: Somatic healing, IFS/Parts Work, and movement create change at every level—mental, emotional, and physical.

  • Small, Intimate Setting: With only 10 participants, you’ll feel truly seen, supported, and understood.

  • Action-Oriented Growth: Every session includes practical tools and practices you can use right away to ensure real results.

  • Continued Support: Stay connected between sessions through a private group chat.

Who Is This Circle For?

This space is for women and femmes who:

  • Are tired of feeling stuck in old habits and cycles of stress, anxiety, people-pleasing, or self-doubt.

  • Want to address the deeper roots of attachment wounds, perfectionism, and boundaries.

  • Are ready to find clarity and reclaim your sense of self after life transitions and/or motherhood.

  • Are ready to move beyond therapy and into body-centered, action-driven healing.

  • Desire a supportive community to grow, share, and heal together.

  • "Each session brought me closer to what I wanted to learn and understand about myself. I’ve learned it’s okay to cry, talk, or even be silent and just let my body lead the way. This journey has been transformative. I’m more comfortable speaking up for myself, and others are noticing my confidence and grounded presence."

  • Group Discussion: Explore topics like breaking cycles of self-criticism, healing attachment wounds, or embracing joy after trauma.

  • Somatic Healing Practices: Use practices like inner child healing, generational trauma work, and nervous system regulation to resolve old patterns and create new, supportive habits.

  • Embodiment & Movement: Practice intuitive movement, breathwork, or meditation to integrate new habits and beliefs.

  • Reflection & Support: End with personal reflections and tailored suggestions for continued growth.

  • "Valerie’s space is safe, supportive, and exactly what I needed. Everyone was heard, and I was surprised by how much I resonated with other women’s experiences. This space gave me permission to be proud of myself and celebrate each other without judgment. I felt like I’d found ‘my people’ and a truly progressive space for growth."
