My business venture actually began as a personal blog. I came up with the name EmBodyed Tides, based on two important concepts (also visible on my homepage) :

embody
verb – to be an expression of or give a tangible or visible form to (an idea, quality, or feeling)
tide
noun – the rise and fall of sea levels caused by combined effects and gravitational forces exerted by the Sun, the Moon, and rotation of the Earth

I hope to bestow with these musings on my blog an opportunity to take pause and reflect on such flux. For nothing other than to take pause in our waters, and remember that deep below, we all are anchored in the same foundation.


5 Tips for Being a Mindful Mate

Ahh, to be in love.  It’s a wonderful thing, isn’t it?  You and your partner adventuring in the world together.  Engaging in stimulating conversation, taking each other out to dinner, and meeting one another’s friends & family.  Getting to know the other’s (many) quirks, feeling passionate, and perhaps making strides towards cohabitation or marriage.  Yes, […]

Brilliance is No Excuse

Most of you reading this know by now, that I work clinically as a Marriage & Family Therapist, as well as a Yoga Instructor – two platforms through which I share strongly my passions and dedication to work that I believe can encourage resilience and healing for all.

Coping with Postpartum Anxiety

Are you a first-time Mama?  Maybe a 2nd-time, 3rd, or even more? Motherhood is one of the most incredible journeys you can take in this life.  It can also be one of the most challenging.  It seems that despite all the joy it can bring, worry and doubt inevitably follow closely behind.  Especially in the […]

Making Sense of It

In so many ways – the world is traumatized.  If we reflect on the past few months alone, regarding Mother Nature and her storms – well, the citizens of Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico continue to rebuild after such devastation.  Grieving is not always about losing someone.  It can be something or MANY things.  Of […]

E-motion

“The function of emotion is e-motion, to engage in action.  If you are afraid, you want to move away from the object of fear.  If you become angry, you feel as if you want to engage or get physical with whomever is making you angry.  If you love someone, you want to make some movement […]

My Take on Feminism

I’ve seen the article “Women Aren’t Nags – We’re Just Fed Up,” by Gemma Hartley, circulating a bunch online.  Posted and shared from various female connections of mine.  Many of whom have offered their high praise and given nearly an “I told you so!” reaction around the content discussed. And then there’s me:  So. Many. […]

Imagining … and so on, and so on …

“Sometimes it’s the people no one imagines anything of, who do the things that no one can imagine.”   Several of you may have seen the film The Imitation Game, directed by Morten Tyldum, which was released back in 2015.  My husband and I just watched it last night.  The movie, based partly on the biography […]

Human Feelings.

Well, it’s been a little while since I wrote – on account of many things.  We last left off with a full(er) post regarding my misstep with schooling and licensure.  Problem not exactly averted, but has been worked on, so all is well there.  Then I wrote a blip of information on my journey in […]

Updates!

Hi all!  Long time no see – quite literally.  I transferred my website to a new host (after sparked conversation with one of my sisters regarding content ownership), and voila!  All was lost.  Well.  Not really.  I was able to export/import my old posts into the new site, but that was when I came to a […]
