The attentive body newsletter

Since 2015, I’ve been writing a (more-or-less) monthly newsletter of personal essays and professional reflections. It draws on my life, my somatic work, my interest in writing for wellbeing, and things I consider worth sharing—books, research, practices to try. It also includes details about my upcoming workshops and events.

This newsletter is a labor of love, a message in a bottle, a seed on the wind.
Sign up here if you’d like to receive it. Your email address will never be shared.

What readers say

“I come away feeling nourished, with a quiet sense of contentment and wonder.”

“Her work is fascinating.”

“Damn, this woman can write!”

“It gives me something to reflect on, opens new perspectives, and makes me feel understood and less alone.”

“Like a warm discussion with an intelligent friend.”

“I know I’ll feel a lovely sense of calm after reading it.”


“Personal, truthful, honest inquiry.”

“A valuable resource.”

“Intelligent, interesting, genuinely deep — and the humor is never far away.”

“Extremely elegant and insightful essays. They make me see my life in a new way.”
