It works in real situations
- When things get messy, insight alone rarely changes behaviour.
- Body-first practice helps you stay present and respond on purpose.
- You build range: more options than fight, freeze, please, or avoid.
8-week live online course (live + replays) Foundations semester of CEC

“I never had so many 'aha moments' during a course as in this one.” — Trea Pluister-van Til (Coach, Netherlands)
Understanding helps. But under pressure, your body decides what you can actually do.
FEC trains the basics that create range so you have more awareness, regulation, and choice in daily life.
For your life (and your work)
How you learn it in FEC
You will not be asked to “believe” anything. You will be asked to try it and notice what changes.
Watch short demo moments (optional):
Enrolment closes Feb 17 for this cohort.
FEC runs for 8 weeks. Each week you join one live call (choose the slot that suits you - you can switch week to week). Replays are available if you miss.

FEC is the foundations semester of CEC, offered as a standalone course for people who want practical embodiment - week by week, in real life.
Foundations that stick, so you can interrupt patterns sooner, practise consistently, and feel more capable in real life situations (not just on a good day).
Not miracle cures. Early markers that the practice is landing, and that you are actually building usable skills, include:
Simple body-first tools to shift state so you are not relying on willpower when stressed or scattered.
Learn to notice what is happening early - body signals, attention, impulse, and “where you go” under pressure.
Build the ability to respond on purpose - soften, steady, energise, speak up, or pause - instead of default reactions.
Posture, breath, voice and attention skills that make you feel steadier around people. Expect less bracing and performing.
Step-by-step progression so you are not guessing what to practise next or collecting tools you never use.
If you later want the full coaching training, FEC is the foundations semester of CEC - you can already embody the tools.
No certificates, no professional hoops. This is about foundations you can actually use.
A core teaching team delivering the foundations semester - skills-first, trauma-aware, and built around practice you can use in daily life.

Respected voices on why embodied, trauma-aware practice matters, and how FEC turns principles into practical tools for daily life.
Gabor Maté, MD
Physician & Author
“Embodiment is an essential component of healing, and Embodiment Unlimited does valuable work bringing its importance to the public. I have enjoyed working with this innovative organisation.”
So what? FEC makes embodiment a foundational, trauma-aware practice that you can apply immediately.
Stephen Porges, PhD
Originator, Polyvagal Theory
“Challenges to our safety make us strangers in our own body. Embodiment Unlimited provides important resources informing individuals about practices leading to an effective ‘re-embodiment’ that enhances mental and physical health.”
So what? FEC trains re-embodiment tools that'll help you to regulate and build safety, aligned with the Polyvagal perspective.
Jamie Catto
Author & Facilitator
“The embodied work Mark and the team do is both creative and practical. As a facilitator I get a lot from teaching alongside them and love the mix of humour and pragmatism.”
So what? Expect an approach that’s creative and grounded, with pragmatic skills you can use in rooms with real people.
The practical questions people ask before joining FEC.
FEC is an 8-week live online training in embodied foundations.
You learn body-based skills for awareness, regulation, confidence, communication, and follow-through - and you practise them weekly so they work in real life.
FEC is also the foundations semester of CEC, offered as a standalone course.
The first two weeks are about embodied learning and awareness - the part most people skip.
No. Live is strongly recommended because you practise with guidance in real time.
If you miss a week, you can use the replay to catch up.
You can still complete the course with replays.
The best approach is: watch the replay, do the weekly practice, and keep going.
Yes. Sessions are recorded and available as replays during the programme.
Expect about 4-5 hours weekly if you plan to attend live and complete the course in 8 weeks.
If you do more, great. If you do the minimum consistently, you still get results.
This is exactly why the course is paced week by week.
Most parts are quite flexible so you can fit it into your life as it suits you.
No. We start from foundations and keep it practical.
If you have done yoga, mindfulness, therapy, martial arts, coaching, or breathwork, you will recognise pieces - but you do not need any of it.
Often the issue is not knowledge - it is having the skills available under pressure.
FEC is foundations, but that doesn't mean it's easy. It is practice-forward, so what you already “know” becomes usable.
No belief required.
You will be asked to try simple practices, notice what changes, and keep what works. If it does not work, bin it.
No trauma dumping required.
You can practise with everyday material (stress, nerves, habits, difficult conversations). Share only what feels appropriate.
FEC is trauma-aware and focused on practical skills. It is not therapy or medical treatment.
If you are in acute distress or struggling to stay resourced day to day, prioritise stabilisation support first. If unsure, email us and we’ll help you think it through.
Yes. Many coaches find foundations are the missing bit - tools in your body, not just your head.
It also gives you a clean sense of whether you want the full coaching training later.
Personally, yes, as you would in any part of your life.
If you want coach or teach using the tools you should plan to continueon with CEC, the Certification of Embodiment Coaching. FEC is just for personal use
Yes. FEC is the foundations semester of CEC.
If you later join CEC, you will already have the base practices and models in your body, which makes the coaching part land faster.
There are a few books we recommend (we’ll send a list). Many people get them second-hand or via a library.
Some practice experiments involve trying things in the real world. You can keep this low-cost, but you might choose to pay for an occasional class (for example yoga or martial arts).
Nothing expensive is designed into the programme. You decide how deep (and how spendy) you go.
We don’t offer instalments by default - email us and we’ll see if we can help.
You’ll get a confirmation email, platform access, and the links you need for the live sessions.
We also send a simple “start here” so you know exactly what to do first.
Read the page, check the FAQ, then email us with the awkward questions.
We’d rather help you make a clear decision than push you through the door.
