Question 1

Who can benefit from mind-body coaching?

Accepted Answer

Mind-body coaching is a supportive approach crafted to help individuals develop an intimate connection with themselves. It is particularly beneficial for individuals facing everyday stress, anxiety, or relational difficulties. Moreover, mind-body coaching can provide support to those navigating transitions, changes, or personal and professional growth. This process is not suitable for individuals who have been diagnosed with a mental health condition.

Question 2

Is body inquiry a replacement for therapy?

Accepted Answer

No. While I am a qualified therapist, and body inquiry is a supportive method designed for those seeking psychological growth, it’s not suitable for in-depth psychotherapeutic work or for individuals with a diagnosed mental health condition. The supportive discussions / tools integral to body inquiry are, by nature, different from talk therapy.

My psychotherapeutic services are restricted to residents of Ontario, Canada.  I support clients in all other areas as a coach. Please contact me (www.therapywithmarie.com/support-faqs)for additional information.

Question 3

What is trauma-informed coaching?

Accepted Answer

Trauma-informed coaching is a way of providing support to individuals who have experienced trauma* without creating further harm. The goal of trauma-informed coaching is to help individuals understand and manage the effects of trauma on their lives, empowering them to move forward in a positive way. This modality is not a replacement for, nor comparable to, psychotherapy.

* Trauma: a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. Trauma exists on a continuum. Complex trauma is the result of cumulative and repetitive experiences. Single-incident trauma can include moments such as natural disasters, car accidents, or the death of a loved one. Traumatizing experiences are not always as extreme as domestic violence, abuse, or other frightening circumstances. Emotionally neglectful, disconnected, or inconsistent parenting, as well as frightening caregiver(s), can contribute to developmental trauma characterized by feelings of fear, helplessness, and overwhelm.

Question 4

What is breathwork?

Accepted Answer

Breathwork refers to many different types of breathing exercises or techniques. During breathwork you intentionally change the pattern of your breath for achieve cognitive, mental, and spiritual benefits. Some approaches are systematized while others are more intuitive. I draw from a variety of schools of thought, depending on the client's needs. This modality is especially useful for people living with chronic pain, depression and anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and grief. People also practice breathwork for clarity, creativity, confidence, and self-awareness.

Question 5

What is kundalini yoga?

Accepted Answer

Kundalini yoga is an ancient form of yoga that involves chanting, breathing exercises, and repetitive movements to regulate the nervous system and activate your energy. Research has shown that kundalini kriyas (sets of exercises) can improve cognitive function (incl. attention, memory, and self-perception), promote relaxation, and boost physical wellbeing. It is a phenomenal embodiment practice that also happens to be quite fun!

As a white woman settler and a non-Sikh, I humbly acknowledge the privilege that comes with sharing and benefiting from traditional teachings rooted in a culture outside of my own. My deep commitment lies in fostering an equitable and inclusive world, where open dialogue, critical thinking, and compassionate action pave the way for positive change within our communities.
