1-1 Sensual Embodiment Coaching: From Mundane to Magical

Individual Coaching with Elle

An individual coaching container for women and femmes ready to break free from a lifetime of shaming their bodies and create a more luxurious, playful, and loving relationship with themselves and their movement practice.

For out of the box, creative femmes who are sick of hiding and living in fear... so you can feel energetically revitalized by your movement practiced and not worn out.

You will go from...

Feeling like you're always in a rush and running late to feeling like you have more than enough time and energy to do all of the things you want to do in life.
Constantly trying to make yourself smaller to "fit in" to... embracing your body and leaning into your expansiveness.
Being trapped in your brain, with its hyper-critical Inner Mean Girl voice to listening to your inner BFF, the one who not only sees how amazing you already are, but who has limitless ideas for where you can go.

I know:

you're sick and tired of feeling like you're hiding. When you get ready for work: your heart yearns to wear the bright red lipstick, but you stop yourself, thinking: "what will people think?!"
How many times have you paused during class, looked around your studio and thought "do I even fit in here? why am I never included in the group hangouts? am I not good enough?"
You watch your dance videos back and cringe every time: you can't stand watching yourself dance on video or in the mirror. You have such a strong vision in your head of what you want your dance to look like but it's just not there... it looks so flat. You want your dancing to look as alive as you feel when doing it!

Are you ready to feel more creative, juicy, and empowered both in relationships and on the dance floor?

Are you ready to feel turned on by life: like a wellspring of inspiration, self-love, and magic?

Are you ready to feel confident enough to take the stage: whether that's literally performing for an audience or stepping into your highest power as the change-making, status-quo-disrupting bada$$ that you are?

Testimonials: Clients feel more aligned in their movement which spills over into their lives... that's some juicy $hit!

Imagine:

Springing out of bed every morning, curious and excited to see what the universe holds. You feel deeply connected to nature, friends, and your partner. Damn- you feel downright playful!

You have time to commit to your art practice, be it dancing or painting or writing. There's a feeling of lightness and spaciousness around your practice. You feel seen and supported. This is taking you to new creative heights- ones you'd only ever dreamed of.

Your dancing is not only creatively fulfilling, it's reinvigorating. Gone are the days of beating yourself up mentally and physically during pole class: now you love dancing because of what it pours back into your daily life. You've never felt this confident, self-assured, and downright magical before.

Ok- but what is embodiment?

Embodiment is an umbrella term used to describe a state of being in which you feel connected to your body and senses as well as your feelings without deconstructing them.

For example: butterflies in your stomach might be an embodiment of nerves about giving that presentation at work.

Reaching out to hold your partner's hand might be an embodiment of the desire to be close to them.

Most pole dancing teachers don't incorporate embodiment because it's complicated! It involves advanced training in the nervous system, trauma-informed care, and creating safe containers for all participants- regardless of background.

But complicated things are sometimes the most necessary. To get your movement going from flat to juicy, embodiment is what you need!

That's why I started coaching, to help you get there a hell of a lot faster than I did.

What's the difference between a regular dancer and an embodied dancer?

Regular Schmegular Pole Dancer

Over-thinking every dance: always thinking about what "to do" and can't get out of their head
Shows up and does what the instructor says, whether it works for their body or not. Constantly injured.
Trapped in "when/then" thinking: "when I lose the weight, then I'll be sexy." "when I've been dancing for 5 years, then I'll be able to perform on stage."
Completely obsessed with the opinions of others. Exhausted by the weight of thinking about what makes everyone else comfortable- even though they walk around profoundly uncomfortable.

Embodied Pole Dancer

Doesn't have to think while she dances, emphasizes "being" over "doing". Able to safely check in with herself, discern where she's at, and dance from that place.
Confidently modifies moves to make things work for her. Doesn't let pixels on a screen dictate her self worth. Inadvertently saves a $hit ton of time and money because she's not injured/worn out all of the time!
Knows she doesn't have to wait, everything she wants already lives inside of her. The magic, the strength, the confidence- they're already there! Does things she never dreamed imaginable.
"Good for you, but not for me" is her new mantra. Embodies healthy boundaries with everyone she loves. Not only does this make her dancing better, it makes her relationships better too.

Yes- I'm ready to make magic happen!

This is for you if...

you're a highly motivated self-starter who loves to take action and get results.
you're burnt out and bored of the regular schmegular pole dance world: you want deep connection, profound transformation, and a never ending supply of creativity within. You worry you're "too much" (spoiler: the world's just not enough.)
you already know or have a strong feeling that you've got some witchy tendencies- you want an opportunity to explore and play with those.
you're sick of wasting time and money on quick-fixes and shitty containers. You're ready to go all in to get what you want!

This is not for you if...

you're afraid to get deep with the darkest part of yourself. I'll be there to support you, but we gotta go there together.
you only prioritize learning a new trick every single class and it's super important for you to get a 30 second video of a "trick du jour" for social media.
you're not committed to the process. In order to get results, you gotta show up. You don't have to show up perfectly but we can't do the work together if we can't do the work- y'know? If you're in a season of your life where you can't consistently make and keep appointments- it's better to wait until you are.

After coaching with me, you'll be able to express yourself in a way you never imagined before. This will bring you your own krewe of weirdos you adore: friends, business opportunities, and lovers will be drawn to your magnetic energy.

Meet Your Guide

I started pole dancing in 2011 and it changed my life. I'd never had access to that level of presence, joy, and empowerment ever before. Seemingly on parallel tracks, as I deepened my pole practice, my life expanded as well.

Until... they both didn't. I hit a wall in 2018. I was extremely depressed at my office job- like "crying at my desk" depressed. I felt trapped and stuck. I wanted to hide: I was wearing a lot of gray clothes and constantly worried I was being “too much”. I felt like I couldn’t show up as myself anywhere. Nowhere felt safe, I was constantly on edge. I couldn’t look at my face in the mirror too long without feeling awkward and uncomfortable.

A perfectionist and people pleaser, I wasn't getting any validation from work, which was new for me. I was seeking value and worth somewhere so I decided to hammer tricks. But I didn’t do it with a holistic eye and I ended up injuring myself. I had a shoulder tear so bad that I couldn’t even lift a water bottle.

I was hopeless, now the one thing I thought I had... I didn’t have anymore. Life felt completely out of control.

This is something I've seen so many of my students go through over my last 10+ years of teaching: They are sick of being on a hamster wheel, seeking validation only to end up injured and isolated.

There's a different way- one I used for myself and now guide my students through. Embodiment practices allow us to untie our self-worth from what we're “doing”. Students build up the somatic understanding of “being”, of rest, of play.

Through coaching with me, you'll reorient into curiosity and away from expectations. And that's when the magic really unfolds...

You'll stop caring so much about what people think and train in ways that feel good for you. Maybe that includes tricks or maybe it doesn't. Maybe it's dancing for yourself or maybe its dancing at work or for a partner. You get to decide.

Once you step into this world, the goodness will just keep on coming. You'll be confident and self-assured, making choices that make you feel good. And guess what? That'll magnetically pull your people to you.

Your people: your lovable krewe of misfits, artists, and change-makers will be drawn to you. Your relationships will deepen. You'll reach new heights of creativity: finally making that painting you've been carrying around in your head for years or picking up that camera that's collecting dust.

Everything will feel open and available to you.

It took me a long time to figure this out on my own and I want it to go faster for you. That's why I built this coaching practice.

I want your dancing to look how you want it to look- smooth, connected, flowy, present, and all the things but I really really want your life to look like that too. Mean it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sign up?

Book a free discovery call today. Email me at elle.wohl@gmail.com so we can find a time that works for both of us.

What kind of support will I get from coaching?

It's a choose your own adventure. Once you book your package, you'll get a questionaire to fill out and let me know what's been going on. Then we'll come up with goals together (either 2 month or 6 month goals depending which package you picked).

We will meet every other week-ish and move along on your goal. Depending on your goal depends how much time we'll spend moving vs. talking. Most sessions involve both.

Sessions are 75 minutes.

Is this in-person or virtual?

If you're in the New Orleans area, we can meet up in person (subject to studio availability). Otherwise I host all meetings on Zoom.

Do I need a pole? Do I need to be a pole dancer?

You do not need a pole! If you're comfortable moving on the floor, a chair, or the couch then we are good to go.

You don't need to be a dancer but you need to be interested in movement. If you're not interested in embodying your creative process, then someone else would be a better fit!

Is this for beginner or advanced students?

Both! It's less about what we're working on and more about how. The process we use in sessions can be used anywhere and everywhere.

I'll be honest here, most pole dancers regardless of "level" need to refine their technique on the basics. If you're interested in becoming a more versatile, skillful pole dancer: we'll probably need to do some of that.

Again, your goals matter here. I can build you sequences we work on together or if you're interested in learning how to freestyle, we can do that too. Many students come to me to deepen a performance piece they already have choreographed. We'll break your choreo down step by step and have it looking jaw-droppingly stunning!

Can't I just learn this in a book?

Of course you can! Books and workbooks are excellent resources. Some times we need more than a book can provide:

we have a complicated history that makes the straight-forwardness of a book too simple
we need an accountability partner or a body-doubling partner
we need extra help with obstacles and barriers
we get high off the energy from a good container (it me. srsly tho- I'm an HSP/energetic person and just being around good energy in a container sets me on fire!)

What is the refund policy?

I know, shopping online these days can be a bit scary. Full refunds are available within 48 hours of purchase. After that: no refunds will be granted.

I have an injury- will this work for me?

I've been a movement instructor since 2013 and I have a ton of experience helping folks modify for injuries, comfort, pregnancy, and beyond. As long as you have clearance from a medical professional (doctor, OBGYN, physical therapist, etc.), then we are good to go!

I will always modify things to make them feel better. The point of embodiment is feel good = look good, so we want to make sure you're physically comfortable.

How do I learn more about you?

I way over-share over on Instagram. Find me @embodied_elle

Wait- you're also a therapist?!

Yes I am! But you have to pick a lane: you're either a coaching client or a therapy client. Here's the difference:

Therapy: must reside in Louisiana or Florida. We will be unpacking and healing from trauma. Treatment for psychiatric diagnoses like PTSD, anxiety, and depression. And oh yeah- I'm also a sex therapist! More info here: www.groundedhealthnola.org
Coaching: must be working on a short-term goal (2 months or 6 months) that is under the umbrella of embodiment. More future oriented (but the past will come up too). Who do I want to become? What do I want the next chapter of my life to look like?

How would you spend your time if you didn't have to worry about what everyone else was thinking?

How would you spend your energy if you had a movement practice that energized and inspired you?
