Mind-Body Coaching for women leaders who have spent years delivering for everyone else and are ready to bring themselves back into the equation.
Christina Murphy
Certified Mind-Body Coach & Founder of Embodied Leadership Co.
Christina spent 15 years in marketing and communications, HR, and employer branding, and eight years teaching yoga and somatic awareness. She knows both the pressure you're under and what it does to you.
Embodied leadership is the practice of bringing enhanced awareness to how you think, feel, and show up, so you can lead with greater intention and resilience.
It’s about connecting the mind, body, and lived experience to build the self-awareness and capacity to navigate change, make grounded decisions, and lead in a way that feels true to who you are.
Through 1:1 coaching and embodied practices with Christina, you’ll learn to recognize your body’s signals, understand your patterns, and make choices that support the way you truly want to live, work, and lead.
None of it felt like a sacrifice at the time.
Each one was just the reasonable thing to do.
The skipped lunch. The missed workout. The too-early meeting. The late call (again). The evening plans you canceled when that work request came in. It adds up.
You make sure everyone else has what they need. You're the only one who doesn't. That is what leads to burnout, which usually starts long before you realize it.
When we shortchange ourselves, we inevitably shortchange everyone around us.
WE have two kinds of intelligence. We've only been trained to use one.
BEFORE
Mental override. You feel it; you push through and plan to deal with it later.
You say yes, and the first thing cut is something of yours. The workout. The sleep. The evening plans. You feel guilty.
You find out you've hit the wall after you hit it. The cycle seems endless.
It feels as though you’re never doing enough.
You know something needs to change, and changing anything feels like it would bring the whole thing crashing down.
AFTER
Information. You feel it, you let yourself feel it, and you know what it's telling you.
You know what a “yes” or “no” will cost before you give it, and you decide whether it's worth it. You feel grounded.
You feel the breaking point coming early enough to do something about it.
You stop measuring yourself by what's still on the list.
You know the whole thing doesn't rest on any single decision and that you have greater capacity to accept and handle change.
Why Mind-Body Coaching?
You understand exactly what you want to change. You've understood it for a while. If that hasn't been enough, it's because the pattern isn't running where you've been looking for it. So that's where we'll work.
Most leadership coaching works from the neck up
We learn a new formula, a new plan, a new strategy. How to “deal with the issue.” But knowledge was never the whole equation; it's only ever been half.
Mind-Body Coaching Harnesses your Full body’s intelligence
Somatic means “of the body." Our sensations, emotions, impulses, energy, and embodied patterns. As the place where your patterns are actually running.
In practice, that means noticing what you're registering in the moment and building responses through simple body-based inquiry.
Ways to work together
All 1:1 Mind-Body Coaching engagements start with an intro call to discuss your goals and see if we’re a good fit. If so, we’ll discuss pricing and payment options. Each begins as a three-month 1:1 engagement.

Testimonials from Clients
“Christina is an exceptional mind-body coach whose welcoming presence instantly engenders trust. Her coaching style is deeply professional, compassionate, and entirely invitational. Instead of pushing answers, she uses gentle inquiry to give you the space to reach your own discoveries and insights.
Her ability to weave together cognitive and somatic exploration is powerful—I’ve learned firsthand that the soma often reveals exactly what the mind blocks. Working with her has been invaluable to my personal growth.”
— Beth T.
“Working with Christina has been such a valuable experience. She creates a safe, compassionate space where I can bring all my thoughts, emotions, and even my “messy” moments without judgment. What I love most about her mindbody approach is how she helps me connect what I’m experiencing in my body with what’s happening emotionally, while gently guiding me toward greater awareness and change. I always leave our sessions feeling more understood, grounded, and clear.”
— Erisa S.
“Christina is always so attentive to tracking what’s happening in my body and helping me gently unravel whatever goal or problem I bring to our session. Her energy is so inviting, and it makes her so easy to share with.”

You can be an embodied leader.
The first call is 30 minutes, and it starts with a question you probably haven't been asked in a while: What do you truly need?
1:1 Mind-Body Coaching can help you answer that.
