The Heart of Embody

Embody was created by Dana Simard, a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, Registered Art Therapist, and Organic Intelligence® Coach with nearly two decades of clinical experience supporting people through stress, trauma, chronic illness, and the complexities of everyday life.
 

As both a clinician and educator, Dana provides clinical supervision for counsellors and Master of Counselling students at City University of Seattle. Her work is grounded in current neuroscience while remaining deeply respectful of each person's unique physiology, pace, and lived experience.
 

Rather than offering another program that asks you to work harder, Embody was created as a companion to help you understand yourself more deeply. By combining evidence-informed neuroscience, Polyvagal Theory, somatic approaches, and practical everyday tools, it offers a gentle path toward greater awareness, self-compassion, and lasting nervous system health.
 

At its heart is a simple belief: your nervous system is not working against you. It has been doing its very best to help you navigate life.
