Bariatric Body/Mind Coaching
The will to do springs
from the knowledge
that we can do.
- James Allen
Bariatric Body/Mind Coaching provides a safe, private opportunity for clients explore the links between emotional, physical, spiritual and thinking self. Awareness and personal change are the goals. Individual private sessions are tailored to the clients? needs as they navigate life. Breath, gentle movement structures, creative writing and art activities are used to explore beliefs about the self and body. Habits and choices are carefully uncovered. With the therapist support, clients practice new ways thinking, moving, and being, at their own tempo. The post bariatric surgery client can rely on consistent support as they adjust to life in a changing body. Initial sessions are in person. Phone sessions may follow.

Bariatric Moving Mediations
Just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things
and stand firm in that which you are.
- Kabir
Moving Mediation work culminate in the creation of a simple movement sequence, unique to the client, for use in stressful moments. During a set of individual sessions the client uncovers strengthens, comfort zones and internal resources. Movement patterns that reduce stress, build confidence, release anxiety, or create a sense of power or peace, drawn from many movement traditions are explored. Adding these qualities with the client’s personal movement preferences a short, recuperate sequence is built. This sequence can be taken anywhere and used anytime to return to balance. Clients uncover hidden skills, learn the art of self advocacy, develope inner calm and discover new ways to integrate and recuperate.
