Patricia Aguirre
Therapist, Trauma Educator
After a career as a doctor within the National Health Service, spanning 25 years, Helen retired as consultant psychiatrist due to health challenges in 2017.
Initially she found herself floundering in a new existence, with illness, pain and fatigue, and little idea how to help herself.
Having practised yoga on and off since the age of 16, she completed her teacher training and a array of other courses, including Spiritual Coaching, with Caroline Shola Arewa and Embodiment Coaching, with Embodiment Unlimited.
Helen's Yoga training was completed with Yoga Alliance International directly with Swami Vidyanand, and also with YogaCourse, YogaRenew. She deepened her training by working with Kristine Weber of Subtle Yoga since around 2018.
As a life-long learner, Helen has and continues to complete an array of other trainings.
Since retirement she's channelled her passion into holistic wellness: yoga, embodiment, building wellness and resilience.
She particularly likes working with people with persistent health issues, pain and fatigue.
Helen also supports people with stress, overwhelm and burnout (they are often the same people!)
She offers a blend of yoga, meditation, education, and embodiment exploration practices designed to promote wellness and resilience.
Sessions are crafted to be slow and mindful, fostering a deep connection within.
Whether you're new to yoga or have long standing experience, these practices are accessible.
Practices are all about developing your 'nervous system resilience'

Why coaches & teachers love Embodied Toolkit
“It’s nice to be offering a course that I know is extremely effective, as we’ve been doing it around the world for many years now.
Embodied Toolkit gives coaches a very practical set of tools. It’s an immediate ‘go-to’ for almost any problem that a client encounters. Toolkit encourages a level of deep insight that you just don’t see when asking questions verbally.
For mainstream coaches, it offers a practical approach to the body that doesn’t require jumping around or doing anything too “alternative”. And it simply works. Often the joke is that it’s TOO effective, because people experience such deep insights so fast.
Coaches also appreciate that Toolkit can be used to give short but powerful pieces of ‘homework’ for clients to take away, without requiring them to do anything too athletic or esoteric.
Many yoga teachers also use the Toolkit system (in fact, we used to call it Embodied Yoga Principles, which is why you’ll hear it referred to as EYP).
It adds a layer of psychological depth to postural yoga classes and allows students to take yoga “off of the mat” and into life.
Embodied Toolkit has been part of my personal practice for years. Often, it’s the thing I do just before I teach, as it allows for powerful state changes. Whenever I’m working with clients, it’s one of my main tools.
This course is beautifully filmed and edited (damn, we spent some cash!), so it’s a very high-quality recorded product. And the live sessions mean that the community of practitioners form real relationships along with actually doing the course.
I really like this combination of self-paced course, which allows people to fit it into their lives when it’s convenient, and the optional live sessions, which encourage people to not just leave the course unfinished in their email inbox somewhere.
This is one I’m proud of, so hope you can make it.”

CEO & Founder, Embodiment Unlimited
What our students say...
I already had an embodied practice, but it feels so much more enriched. My students have already noticed a shift, which they love. There are a range of tools and the way they are broken down is excellent. A wonderful course!
The course was well-structured with wonderful teachers. What really sets this course apart from others is the off-the-cushion practices and the emphasis on the transfer of skills developed into daily life.
The main takeaway for me was an attitude of kindness towards myself and my practice. The self-compassion and "yes meditation" resonated a lot with me. Great content overall.
It’s been transformational, empowering. I’m already seeing positive impacts on my classes.
Wow, I learned so much! The structure was really nice and fluid, and organisation over-the-top awesome. Great longer meditations, too.
This work has been a central anchor in times of turmoil, as well as an enhanced sense of peace when things are generally going well.
The course helped me to create the space for a daily morning practice again, and for the first time in my meditation experience – be fully committed to it.
I thought that ‘coming home to your body’ was just a nice metaphor until I really felt it!
I can honestly say this course was a total game-changer for me personally and in my coaching practice. By far the most valuable training investment I’ve ever made.
Using CEC's learning and teaching has given me the power and authority to help transform the lives of many Filipinos for the better.
I never had so many 'aha moments' during a course as in this one. As a coach, I use the practices every day which helps my clients gain a deeper awareness of their state of being, and more possibilities and choices.
Embodiment allows me to coach from wholeness. This leads to much better results, much quicker.
I’m already easily blending the tools learned with my own coaching style. It is an upgrade for my set of skills and resources as a coach.
CEC had a huge impact for me by giving me some essential tools that make coaching so much more powerful. I also gained awareness around my own patterns, which means better presence for my clients.
My coaching is more precise and effective now. My clients now achieve their goals in a shorter time and fewer sessions.
CEC gave me confidence in my niche and underlined the importance of my own practice and well-being, it confirmed my core interest in trauma.
It has made me want to set up a business offering coaching. I feel so grateful for all I have learned with you, with the course opening into so many fascinating paths.

Got questions about Embodied Toolkit?
It is a combination of live weekly webinars (Wednesdays at 5pm UK time / 12pm ET), live peer group meetings (optional) and pre-recorded materials which you will be able to access on a bespoke learning platform.
It may be better conceived as a pre-recorded course with bonus live sessions (don’t let the live sessions be the determining factor in whether it is for you or not – they’re a bonus to help you with accountability).
The live sessions start on Wednesday 25th June and finish on Wednesday 10th September 2025.
However, you can take as long as you need to certify.
If you’ll be joining live and aiming to certify at the end of the live calls, we’d suggest spending around 3-5 hours per week (between live calls, peer groups, daily practice, and watching the online course).
You may instead choose to spread this out over time to make it more manageable.
We’d expect it to take at least fifty hours altogether (it may be more manageable to do an hour per week for a year, for example).
No worries. We offer these as extra support, but they aren’t necessary to certify. They will be recorded and available on the learning platform for you to catch up.
The course is designed for you to apply what you are learning with others, however if you are an aspiring coach or facilitator, it is also a good introduction to embodiment.
- Watch all the course videos
- Practice at least 10-minutes per day, 5-days per week, for 3 months (or the equivalent)
- Send through photos of yourself in all 26 poses
- For coaches, complete a minimum number of 8 hours of client coaching sessions integrating Embodied Toolkit (more explanation will be given during the course)
- For teachers, complete two 2-hour Embodied Toolkit workshops and four 1-hour classes that integrate Embodied Toolkit (more explanation will be given during the course)
- Reflect after each session you facilitate
- Have a video call with one of the senior teachers to check your grasp on the subtleties of the system and other relevant experience before your certification is awarded
