come as you are.
your body knows the way home.
Some of us have read the books, done the therapy, can explain exactly why we do what we do. Others have never had the language for any of it. Either way, some mornings your body wakes up braced for something that isn't even there anymore.
I'm Mary Beth, most people call me MB. I'm a somatic practitioner, yoga teacher and the founder of Embodied by MB. My work lives at the intersection of nervous system healing, embodiment and recovery.
I believe healing doesn't come from trying harder. It comes from learning to listen to the wisdom of your body. Through slow, intentional somatic work and nervous system education, I help you come out of the bracing and into a life that feels grounded, spacious, and deeply aligned.
Whether I'm leading yoga classes, facilitating retreats, teaching somatic practices, or working one-on-one with clients, my intention stays the same — to help women trust themselves again, regulate from within, and live embodied, inside and out.
This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about remembering who you've been all along. Your body already knows the way home. You simply need a place to practice returning.
I'm so glad you're here.

" I had done years of talk therapy before I found this work, and I could explain my patterns perfectly. I just couldn't stop living inside them. The first session, we didn't talk much at all. a few minutes of just noticing my breath, noticing where I was bracing.
By the third or fourth session, something had shifted that I still can't fully explain in words, which feels like the point. I started trusting my body again instead of treating it like something to manage. ”

Press play, unroll your mat, see where it takes you. This playlist comes from a recent slow flow practice. Music has always been part of how I build a class, not an afterthought to it.
