Hello and Welcome:
You may be wondering how a Body-Centered Coach Training is connected with Being Abundant.
As the creator of the Body-Centered Coaching Method, my clients are coaches and helping professionals who believe in the power of the body’s wisdom.
As they come to our coaching calls, I recognize a core issue that exists for the majority of them. What I hear over and over again is that they are not feeling successful and abundant about their practice. They have limiting thoughts about promoting their work, some shyness about attracting attention to themselves, feeling insecure and unclear about their offering, self doubt about their skill level and fear about their future.
Often, they have studied various “how to” tools and strategies to move their practice forward...yet they are not getting the desired results and know there is something more; something is missing.
We go into the helping professions to make a difference in people lives...and don’t have a clue how to be abundant while doing so. Often our limiting thoughts and conflicting ideas sabotage us.You are sabotaging your own abundance when...
- you focus on what is missing, rather than what you are wanting
- you doubt that you can make a good living while doing what you love
- you allow your fear of “what other people will think” to dictate your actions
- you don’t think you deserve to be abundant – you think prosperity is for other people, not for you.
- you are hesitant to take action for fear of not knowing what will happen
- you don’t trust yourself to make the right decision so you do nothing
- you think you have to choose between being rich and being spiritual...you do not understand that you can be both
- you worry that when things start going well, something bad will happen
- you have self doubt about your skill level
Clients also sabotage their possibilities for meaningful and sustainable change that would create more of a feeling of abundance in their lives. You may find that these things happen.
your clients come up with an intention or plan that sounds good but they don't follow through. They keep talking around the same issue without making real progress.- Your clients come up with pro and con lists for the decisions they want to make, and yet they feel insecure about moving forward and are still unsure of what is the right choice for them.
- Your clients have limiting beliefs that they just can’t get past. You’ve tried everything you know, and yet a shift has not occurred.
- Your clients report stress-related body signals and symptoms, and you don’t know how to work with them to deepen an understanding of what’s happening. Their fear takes over and initiatives are undermined.
These things happen because, as professionals, we’ve often been trained to question the mind for the answers and then expect a change in behavior to occur. An important ingredient that is often missing in our training is the use of the body’s natural intelligence. In order to work with the whole person, there needs to be an inter-connection between body, mind and spirit.
With Body-Centered Coaching, clients get to the bottom of:
- what gets in their way
- what is holding them back
- the limiting beliefs that need to be busted
- the fears that keep them stuck
- the collapsed distinctions they incorrectly believe are true
- the source of reactive behavior
This training gets a shining "A" in all departments! "I have participated in a lot of courses and have exceptionally high standards for what I expect in the educational sector - content wise, presentation wise and what I expect the instructor to model. This training gets a shining "A" in all departments! I loved the content of the course and have seen the approach work so powerfully numerous times that I know it works and is the way to go. Marlena created a good structure and then played with it according to the needs of the students so it seemed like both a well-organized workshop and one that addressed the needs of the moment and the students. This training seemed so effortless and peaceful, structured and unstructured and moved in a dynamic flow that was both creative and still totally ecological. This was a wonderful learning and validating experience for me."

What is missing is an abundant mindset.
I have talked about the challenges and the sabotaging thoughts that keep coaches and helping professionals from being abundant in their private practices. They come to me ready to do their personal work to change that dynamic and move beyond their self-imposed barriers.
In my experience, what has turned out to be the missing piece for my clients is an abundant mindset; a deep down embodiment of being abundant. And, that experience involves wholeness; body, mind and spirit.
I’ve experienced the impact of that missing piece as well. Through my years of building a successful coaching practice, I concentrated on learning the “how to” tools and strategies...all good information! And, yet, I too found that I was still struggling, realizing there was still something missing. So I began my personal journey toward my inner game of abundance ... examining my own limiting perspectives on abundance and what got in my way. I read, reflected, watched DVDs, attended seminars, got coached; I took full responsibility to change my thoughts, my beliefs, move beyond fears and “be in action”.
Some of my limiting beliefs went like this:
- It’s a man’s job to provide for me. I had a stay-at-home Mom, who was wonderful, who received a weekly allowance from my Dad.
- I can’t be spiritual and make good money ... I unconsciously thought I had to choose, rather than knowing I could have both.
- If I promote my work, people will have a “poor” opinion of me – which of course would then keep me “poor” if they never heard about me.
Wow, it was awesome to let go of those...and others!! When I began to have more faith and belief in the abundance of the universe, and took responsibility to take action on my own behalf, everything began to shift. Now when I notice any limiting thoughts and behaviors surfacing, I mindfully notice them, intentionally let them go and replace them with abundant thinking and action. It works!
I designed a personal “spirit of abundance creation” – a physical representation that captured the essence of what abundance means to me and how it wants to be fully expressed in the world. Following that, I began to author my journal “Being Abundant: a guidebook for your journey”. I instinctively and naturally included exercises from my body-centered coaching method into the journal.
So it became easy for me to make the connection between the powerful body-centered techniques and how they fit beautifully with personal work toward being abundant. So I created a training to meet the needs of coaches and helping professionals who understand the importance of including the body’s wisdom into their practice to deepen their client’s experience... and at the same time embody the experience of “being abundant”.
Let’s face it – the bottom line for most of the changes that clients want to make are in relation to wanting to feel more abundant in their lives. They want to feel happy, fulfilled, joyful, content, satisfied. And the sooner we look at what is getting in our way to create more of what we want, the better.
I like the integrity her work conveys. "As a counsellor and coach, I found Marlena's Body-Centered Coaching workshop to be invaluable. Marlena's experience and skills as a Hakomi Trained Therapist and her training as a Co-Active Coach offer a unique blend that has resulted in a powerful methodology with application to a variety of disciplines in the helping professions. Using the body as a source of information for change requires stillness. Marlena's personal style is gentle, humorous and patient. She conveys a sense of calm rather than urgency providing a consistent role model for her work. I was particularly impressed with her impeccable sense of timing. She listens deeply to her clients needs and has the ability to motivate and inspire people in the direction of their own potential with insightful and sometimes provocative probes. She does not impose or direct but rather guides and facilitates change. I like the integrity her work conveys." Mary Jordan, M.A. |
Introducing the Integration
of
Being Abundant &
the
Body-Centered Coaching Method
I have designed this program with an intentional personal and professional abundance component built into the body-centered coach training. Here’s how it works. As you learn the body-centered skills, you are not only learning how to use the techniques with clients, you will be inspired to see how it directly applies to you. For example, when learning the specific body-centered technique for working with limiting beliefs, you will also be learning and journaling about your personal disempowering beliefs related to abundance...and joyfully moving beyond them!
What I know is that the roadblocks can be insidious and difficult to spot alone. That’s why it’s so beneficial to go on a “hunt” for them and have some supportive people around to help with the “find”...and it definitely is a “find” because once they are brought to light, they lose their impact on us.
By body-centered coaching, I mean you invite the client to become more aware of their body and then share with you the thoughts, feelings and sensations that arise. In that way, you bring forward more information that deepens both of your understandings of what is truly happening. That’s because your body responds to everything you think and feel and has a direct effect on your abundant mindset.
You may not have realized it, but the body is an excellent resource for moving a client through life changes. As clients include more of their body’s wisdom in daily living, suddenly they have a greater capacity to slow down, pay attention and make better decisions in order to embrace change. They begin to experience the joy and excitement of actually seeing the things they want happen.
I will absolutely use the exercises and "Marlena's Body-Centered Training was AMAZING! What makes it different from other trainings I've taken, which have been many, is the way she pulls in the body, mind and spirit. My experiences as both a client and coach went deeper and I was able to be more creative with whatever showed up. I came away with profound transformation with some "stuff" that I have been dancing with for a very long time in my own life. This work enabled me to get to something bigger because of the combination of Body, Mind and Spirit focus. Pulling the coaching into the body makes the experience more visceral and alive. The imprint happens and I have been carrying it with me ever since the workshop. Like I said, AMAZING! I will absolutely use the exercises and techniques with my own clients. I have some clients that need to go to their bodies for the information and this work will help us tremendously." Andrea Willets-Ward, CPCC |
You want to get to the heart of the matter with clients. People have a way of knowing that comes from their head. And what I know is that when they realize that a gut reaction is yet another way of knowing, that happens to be a body experience, they become more curious about what else they can tap into, and trust. When they begin to experience body-centered coaching for themselves, what emerges is that they too want to connect with head and heart.
Abundance is a feeling: a state of Being.
Abundance is a feeling - first we think a thought; that thought creates an emotion - which then becomes a feeling: a way of being. And in order to create the abundance we want, there needs to be some action. For example, you may wish to have more of an abundance of joy in your life. By discovering the disempowering thoughts and emotions, and turning them around, you can begin to look at some action steps to increase your joy.
Creating more of a “spirit of abundance” will enhance your ability to honor your values, live your purpose in the world and increase your passion. Abundance includes the broad categories of relationships, spirituality, finances, success, career, health and well-being.
As you begin noticing your thoughts – your mindset – you will begin to recognize the thoughts that empower you and the thoughts that don’t. Your thoughts influence how you will behave; and your behavior will then dramatically influence your results. As you embody an abundant mindset, your feelings, emotions, body sensations and spirit are enhanced.
When you remember and re-embody a peak experience, where you had a heightened experience, you will notice that your thoughts were positive, your body was enlivened, and your spirit was peaceful. Being abundant is a “whole body experience” – body, mind and spirit.
Imagine your abundant life, full of what you most want. Perhaps it’s a full practice with a waiting list; good health and a feeling of well-being; relationships that fill your heart and soul; a feeling of financial stability; more time for a spiritual practice; time for journeys to places unknown – just notice if you began to smile or feel a body sensation just reading the list. Your body responds to positive and affirming thoughts and ideas. It’s known that thoughts of appreciation have a healing effect on your body.
And, ask yourself, where in my life do I want more abundance? And if I had it, how would I feel differently? Would you feel more joy, happiness, contentment, fulfillment, satisfaction? Of course you would.
What I’ve seen is when you include the body’s wisdom and spirit in your work, clients go to a greater depth, have more insights and receive more value from their sessions. They become more committed to their own process and they want more! With your abundant mindset and radiance, you become a magnet for attracting more clients!

Here is a sampling of what you will learn when you make the commitment to join me and other like-minded individuals for 3 days to learn body-centered coaching skills and experience an abundant mindset breakthrough!
Let me give you some idea of how the body-centered coaching techniques and the spirit of abundance fit together: The skills and techniques will build on each other...taking you from limiting thoughts and behaviors towards greater abundance creation, arriving at a place you have never been before.
1. Begin Within: mindfulness & reflection
To begin, you will experience how being mindful and reflective has a profound affect on your level of self awareness and your ability to be present. You will become mindful of your reactive behaviors and learn to step back and choose a creative response. You will become more present, reflective and response-able. Being present is foundational to be who you truly are...to come home to yourself.
2. Empower your Beliefs
All of us have limiting thoughts and beliefs in general, and particularly around the concept of abundance. They are the filters through which we respond to life - creating our behavior, thereby creating our reality. These are habitual reactions we have that don’t serve us and we have some repetitive thoughts that need to be brought to our attention. You will be examining your thoughts and learning a specific body-centered coaching technique for working with limiting beliefs. You will discover and identify your own disempowering beliefs around creating prosperity and abundance in your life. The practice of body-centered coaching offers a 7 step process for transforming disempowering beliefs and old patterns of behavior into empowering beliefs and behavior.

3. Overcome Con-fusions
Your next step will be to examine your fusions, also known as collapsed distinctions; these are similar to limiting beliefs. Fusions are the way you have fused two ideas/things together in your mind, believing they go together. Using hand and arm movements, this technique will assist you, and your clients, to separate the two ideas or concepts that they have fused together. By bringing something subconscious more fully into awareness, change is possible.
You will be surprised how some of your personal fusions are impacting your spirit of abundance and your ability to create more of it. By using the body-centered coaching technique you will learn the technique and be able to unhook the two ideas. You may have a fusion, around money for example, that goes something like this:
- If I want more money, I will have to work too hard.
- I can’t make a lot of money and still be a spiritual being.
- If I make more money, people won’t like me.
- When my family is all grown up, then I can begin my business.
You will experience a true sense of freedom by identifying and releasing your fusions.
4. Remember the Resource
One of the most endearing things you can experience and do with clients is a body-centered coaching technique I call “Remembering the Resource”. Here you will experience the inner resource that already resides inside yourself, the resource that may have been unnamed so far; the resource that keeps you going, keeps you resilient, no matter what happens. It aligns you with what has gone right. As this resource is uncovered and named, it becomes an acknowledged strength and part of yourself that you can easily access and use.
So often I have clients say, “Isn’t that what anyone would do in that situation?” and I respond, “No. This is your own personal flavor; your own intrinsic way of being in the world...and it resides inside of you...and you can access it anytime you wish.”
I learn through experience, by doing the practices...

5. Make Congruent Decisions
During this retreat you will make some personal decisions in relation to abundance; decisions to go “into action” on your own behalf. You will experience and learn two specific body-centered coaching techniques for working with decision making.
“Decision Making” is a process that involves “trying on options, much like a cloak” and noticing the body’s wisdom and intuition that comes into play. It is important for your client to experience the “beingness” of a perspective by embodying it. The body has a different way of giving needed information from its own perspective. As the coach, you will learn how to incorporate all of the information the client needs to make their decision and move forward.
6. Experiment with Possibilities
“Experimenting with Possibilities” is a process where options are introduced through a mindful and reflective state of being. This body-centered technique helps clients discover information that is not readily available through the intellect. It is useful for clients as they consider various options and choices. Embracing the skill of mindfulness, a client will tap into the body’s wisdom for added insight and learning. As a coach, you will learn the five step process to guide the client toward the mindful noticing of each possibility.

7. Spirit of Abundance Creation
I have something VERY SPECIAL planned for Saturday night...so please don’t make other plans! You will participate in the magical experience of designing your personal “Spirit of Abundance Creation”; a physical representation that will embody the true essence of your highest dreams to lead a more abundant life...to live more on purpose, to take your gifts out into the world.
I got a “knowing” of what is important and true for me ... "Amazing ... what I have been able to experience in this co-creation is amazing to me. There she stands: a reminder of the spirit within me. I was looking for answers, and got a much greater reward...I got a “knowing” of what is important and true for me at this time, at this point in my journey. Thank you for creating the opportunity and space for this possibility Marlena." Bernadette |
... creating a wonderful abundance “being” "Marlena was an effective facilitator for this process. She helped develop my awareness and insight and then provided the space to be able to do my own work – creating a wonderful abundance “being” along with lots of insights and self-knowledge." Susinn |
I got to get wildly creative ... "The "spirit of abundance creation" experience was beyond fun. I got to get wildly creative and love myself through the creating of her. The whole experience was so sweet, liberating, intuitive, imaginative, inspiring and magical." Andrea
|
8. Embody Key Words
Following the Spirit of Abundance creation experience you will learn a process I call “Embodying Key Words”. In this experience you will create a metaphor for the feeling of your spirit of abundance and embody it fully. Your creation will remain a delightful reminder of your essence and the total embodied experience.
For skill learning, the basic design will be:
Each day we will focus on body-centered techniques and apply them to being abundant. The format will consistently look like this.
- An introduction to the skill
- A demonstration of the skill
- Practice of the skill in triads – one coach, one client, one observer – supervision as requested
- Feedback, discussion
My personal teaching style is to demonstrate. Talking “about” body-centered coaching can only go so far...it needs to be witnessed and experienced through the body. In our retreat together, I will demonstrate all of the chosen techniques. There is something for everyone. As a participant you will have various opportunities to:
- be my client and experience masterful body-centered coaching
- be a witness to the power of body-centered coaching as it is demonstrated
- be the coach in a triad setting
- be the client in a triad setting
- be the observer in a triad setting.
By the end of the retreat you will have:
- experienced fully the body-centered coaching experience
- begun your personal “Spirit of Abundance Journey”
- become confident to immediately use the techniques with clients; either in person or on the phone
- enjoyed a hands-on event full of demonstrations, personal experience as a client, practice as a coach, and being an observer and witness to the process.

Make this training be a fabulous
excuse to visit
Vancouver, British Columbia
as your tax-deductible vacation.
 |
For thousands of years the Coast Salish people have called the area now known as Vancouver home. Their history and cultural traditions, upholding a deep respect for nature and humanity, are tightly woven into the city's cultural fabric. Today, Vancouver's cosmopolitan appeal can be attributed to its international population of citizens. |
Endless activities, and excellent infrastructure, Vancouver is welcoming to all - everything is within reach. The Vancouver International Airport has consistently been rated as a top North American airport providing easy access from all over the world. Exceptional public transportation is overshadowed slightly by the convenience of Vancouver as a great walking city - clean, green, safe, and easily accessible!
Host city of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, come see why Vancouver is recognized as one of the world's most liveable cities! www.vancouver.ca/aboutvan.htm

Why you should learn from me...
From 1991-1993 I attended a 2 year Hakomi Training (Body-Centered Psychotherapy) and was taught by the founder of the method, Ron Kurtz. I then attended Coaches Training Institute (CTI) where I became a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach and I attended their one year Leadership Program. I integrated the trainings into a method that recognizes that the body has a natural intelligence that can be tapped for more insight and a greater depth of learning. I adapted proven psychotherapy methods to make them coach-like.
