Embodied Wisdom Coaching
6-Week ACT & DBT Cohorts for Emotional Resilience
Small-group coaching cohorts designed to help you regulate your nervous system, respond rather than react, and reconnect with the steadier, wiser part of yourself.
All sessions are held live via Zoom.
What is Embodied Wisdom Coaching?
Embodied Wisdom Coaching is a structured, skills-based approach for people who want to feel more grounded, clear, and steady — especially in turbulent or overwhelming times.
At its heart, this work integrates:
- Mindfulness and somatic grounding
- ACT-based skills for psychological flexibility and values-led action
- Evidence-based emotional-regulation tools from DBT
- Compassion, presence, and inner wisdom dialogue practices
- A steady, supportive group environment
- Cohort-specific online companion courses for Resilience Skills programs, offering additional support and resources between live sessions
In this space, nervous-system regulation is not about shrinking, complying, or silencing yourself. You learn to practice steadiness so you can see more clearly, choose more wisely, and respond with more integrity — rather than react from overwhelm or fear.
Instead of trying to “think” your way through stress, you learn how to work with your mind, body, attention, and inner wisdom in real time.
This isn’t therapy, and it isn’t just mindset work.
It’s a structured return to the steadier part of yourself — the part capable of clarity, alignment, and deliberate action.
Why This Work Matters
When life becomes fast, uncertain, or emotionally intense, we often drift away from our inner center. We react instead of respond. We spiral instead of see clearly. We lose access to the grounded wisdom we know is somewhere inside.
But when we reconnect with that steadier part of ourselves — everything begins to shift:
- Our breath deepens
- Choices feel more aligned
- Reactivity softens
- Relationships become easier
- We stop abandoning ourselves
- Life begins to feel meaningful again
Embodied Wisdom Coaching gives you the tools, structure, and support to return to that place — and to live from it consistently.

The Coaching Cycle
Embodied Wisdom Coaching unfolds through rotating 6-week cohorts, each focused on a core ACT or DBT skill set.
You can join at any point in the cycle. There are no prerequisites. Each cohort stands on its own while contributing to a broader foundation of resilience and psychological flexibility.
The Foundations: ACT & DBT
This work draws from two evidence-based frameworks:
ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)
Builds psychological flexibility — helping you unhook from unhelpful thoughts, clarify your values, and take meaningful action even when discomfort is present.
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
Builds emotional regulation and Wise Mind skills — strengthening awareness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and steady responding under stress.
Together, ACT and DBT create a grounded, practical approach to resilience.
Rotating 6-Week Cohorts
Cohorts rotate throughout the year and include the following modules:
- ACT Essentials — An introduction to psychological flexibility and values-based action.
- DBT Mindfulness — Strengthening awareness and Wise Mind to reduce reactivity.
- DBT Emotion Regulation — Tools for understanding and skillfully working with emotions.
- DBT Distress Tolerance — Strategies for staying steady during intense or overwhelming moments.
- DBT Interpersonal Effectiveness — Communication and boundary skills for healthier relationships.
You can join at the beginning of any 6-week cycle, and are welcome to participate in a single cohort or continue through multiple modules over time.
How the 6-Week Cohorts Work
Each cohort includes:
- One live 90-minute session per week (via Zoom)
- A small-group format
- Practical exercises and guided discussion
- A companion online course with resources and replay access
- Real-life application between sessions
A Note On Scope
Embodied Wisdom Coaching is educational and skills-based. While it draws from evidence-based therapeutic models (ACT and DBT), this is not therapy. The focus is on learning and practicing resilience skills in a structured group setting.
If you’re navigating significant mental health concerns and need therapeutic support, you may wish to seek the help of a licensed mental health professional. If you are already in therapy, this work can complement it.
Upcoming Coaching Cohorts
DBT Mindfulness – 6 Weeks
Begins April 6, 2026
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based skills training approach originally developed to help people regulate intense emotions and build more stable, effective lives.
At the foundation of DBT are its mindfulness skills — not as relaxation techniques, but as precision tools for awareness, emotional steadiness, and wise action.
In this 6-week cohort, you’ll learn how to observe your internal experience without being overtaken by it — and how to access Wise Mind, the steady place where emotion and reason work together instead of against each other.
Through weekly live coaching sessions and short pre-work lessons in your online companion course, you’ll develop practical skills you can use immediately in real life.
DBT Mindfulness Helps You:
- Interrupt emotional spirals in real time instead of realizing hours later that you were hijacked
- Strengthen Wise Mind — the part of you that can hold emotion and reason together without collapsing into either
- Notice what’s happening internally without immediately reacting to it
- Stay grounded during conflict, stress, or political chaos without dissociating or exploding
- Separate facts from stories so you can respond from clarity instead of assumption
- Build nervous system steadiness without suppressing your truth
This is structured, skill-based training — practiced in community, with guidance and integration support. You don’t just “learn about mindfulness.” You practice it until it becomes usable under pressure.
Private Support
For those who would benefit from more individualized guidance, private 1:1 coaching is available by consultation.
Private sessions allow us to:
- Apply ACT and DBT tools to your specific life circumstances
- Slow down and work through personal patterns in depth
- Refine skills in a highly tailored way
- Integrate resilience practices with ongoing support
