BODY TO SOUL INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP
When’s the last time you belly-laughed? Danced in your underwear – Risky Business-style? Were moved to tears by a song, or story, or work of art?
Do you remember when you didn’t struggle with carb-to-protein ratios? Or whether you could move or play without pain? Or the last time you slept a solid eight hours at night?
And what about your dreams, your passions, your sense of wonder?
If you are a soulful woman who is ready to calm and center yourself, break free from self-imposed limits and self-sabotage, and embrace your inner wisdom, then join Carol Holguin for this hands-on, perception-changing immersive experience.

Five Signs You May Need This Workshop:
You juggle family schedules, budget, and what to cook for dinner, your last hair cut was six months ago, and you “Namaste” through clinched teeth at the end of your morning yoga class.
Sarcasm and blame have invaded your daily affirmations, creating a running internal dialog of endless chatter.
You find yourself reaching for the Oreos, or a glass of Chardonnay, or cozying up with Netflix for six episodes of Gray’s Anatomy, to shut off the noise in your head.
You look in the mirror at a tired, frumpy, middle-aged version of yourself and think, “Who are you and what have you done with my mojo?”
Your most creative fantasy lately is running away to a cabin in the woods. Alone. For one glorious night of uninterrupted sleep.
What if I told you that the place to start making sustainable changes for your overwhelmed, overburdened, and over-extended state, is not with your thinking, but with your body?
And wait! Before you start backing out of the room, hear me out!
Your body holds every single moment of your experience – your thoughts, your dreams, your successes, your challenges, embedded in the very synapses and circuitry of your brain and nervous system. This is why a touch, or a song, or an aroma may conjure a memory of a forgotten time.
It is your body’s nervous system that controls the stress response and the cascading reactions thereafter – heart racing, laser focus, muscle tension, adrenaline pumping. What follows (or should follow) is the relaxation response – a return to rest, the letting down of high alert – healing.
In this workshop, you’ll learn to safely access your innate healing mechanism to return your body to neutral, where you can begin to use breath, movement, support, and exploration to re-wire the circuitry.
Body to soul.
You had me at one glorious night of uninterrupted sleep.
How It Works
- You will learn simple techniques to ground, calm, and center yourself so you can feel safe and present in any situation, anytime.
- You will engage in easy-to-practice activities to deepen your awareness of your body’s unique messages so you stop denying your needs and learn to trust your gut instinct.
- Through “sensation versus story”, you will learn to observe, explore, and allow – supporting your body’s natural wisdom – so you can detach from drama, blame, and criticism in favor of curiosity, wonder, and play.
- You will “paint your boundaries” and “follow the leader” to explore areas of resistance and patterns of tension, learning how to “sit with what is” so you build stress-resilience and prevent the “flare-ups” that used to sabotage and block you.
- By engaging with your body, you will begin to acknowledge it as a roadmap and guide for your life experiences so you can empower yourself to consciously choose your future direction aligned body to soul.
A little about your facilitator...
Hi, I’m Carol,
Thirty-33 years ago I began a journey of healing through my body. I was newly sober, I’d just divorced my husband of eleven years and had no real work experience. I had two young kids depending on me. I was overwhelmed, confused, and worried. I was a mess!
Through a series of what I now recognize as synchronicities, I enrolled in massage therapy school and began a life-long love affair with the body and a quest to unravel its mysteries. And in the process, I began to heal my body, my mind, and my soul.
Through my work with clients I discovered the transformative power of embodiment in unlocking an inner world that was creative, clear, and expansive. My clients’ feedback and their successes in making sustainable changes to their lives sparked the idea to create a program people could learn and do on their own.
This half-day immersion is an introduction to practicing embodiment skills in a conscious manner, activities to deepen your awareness of your body and engage its innate healing wisdom. And I am excited to offer it to you now!
What it's like working with Carol...
“Carol is by far the best physical and emotional well being professional I have worked with. She is a true rock in a river of turbulence. Her hands and heart are magical.”
“Amazing experience all the way around from start to finish. Was nervous at first to get started but from the get go Carol was so helpful and understanding and walked me through the whole process. So thankful for Carol and all she’s helped me work through.”
“I found that I have missed connecting with nature and want to find my way back… I feel I benefitted most from learning different ways to ground myself, feeling accountable to myself and the group, and pushing myself to be more connected to my body…The challenge helped me slow down & focus on just me & my body for a bit each day.”
