The Well Nourished Woman
with Jessica Golden, Acupuncturist, Herbalist & Embodiment Coach
For the woman who is ready to let go of burn-out, overwhelm and depletion and instead feel her radiance, joy and unshakable confidence – all without throwing away the to-do list.
Do some of these land for you? Don't worry, it's not a problem but nourishment & pleasure can support you to find a better way.
You feel like you have to do, do, do all the time and when you do give yourself a moment to rest, it's hard to actually relax.
You tend to prioritize other people's needs over your own. At the end the day, you're exhausted unable to peel yourself off the couch.
You're living a lot of your life from your head and the language of your body feels a bit foreign.
You have a hard time actually receiving compliments, gifts and pleasure from your partner and loved ones.
Your body (shoulders, jaw, chest or pelvic floor) tends to take on the tightness and pressure of trying to be the perfect mom, partner, daughter, professional, friend or lover.
It seems like others are just not hearing your needs and a feeling of irritation is growing towards some of the people you care about the most.
You feel like life is kinda going fine but you can’t access this spark of energy or creativity and you feel a bit lost.
When we start to be in touch with our bodies, our truest expression and our pleasure, magic happens.
You feel more and more confident in your own skin.
You feel deeper intimacy in your relationships.
Your connection to your body grows, you know what it needs and you are experiencing increased, deeper pleasure.
You care for others from a place of love and inspiration, instead of obligation or sacrifice.
You feel a renewed sense of being home within yourself.
You feel a new depth of appreciation for yourself, your partner, your kids and your community.
You have tools to help you through any situation. And even when it’s hard, you trust you’ve got this.
Your creativity grows. You feel a new sense of inspiration.
You start having more fun!
Each week we dive into a specific system and part of the body to unwind stuck patterns of harmful conditioning that create shame, embarrassment or mistrust in our bodies. To instead create healthy, nourished foundations that make way for more pleasure, joy and vitality.
Modules include bodycare, energy meditations and mindset practices to help you connect to your body's innate wisdom.
THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
When our system is in a state of dysregulation we aren't able to feel into pleasure because we're stuck in survival mode. We start by tuning into what helps you feel relaxed, calm and ready tor receive. Including bodycare and meditation practices to soothe your liver, the organ associated with your nervous system in TCM.
THE SPINE
Our spine is an energy highway, and is associated with yang or masculine energy. When we feel upright, supported and protected, our whole system can relax into receiving the gifts of the feminine.
THE BELLY
Our bellies are the softest, most vulnerable part of us and most women have been conditioned to suck in or hide their belly. Yet our bellies are huge sources of nourishment. This module gives you the tools to befriend your belly and to connect with how you nourish yourself through food with guidance from TCM dietary principles.
THE WOMB
The womb is the epicenter of feminine energy. Once you connect and hear the messages of the womb, there is no going back and why would you ever want to? This is where your sensual, erotic energy and your creativity and power lies. Our wombs often hold old stories, pain and other people's energy. Clearing the womb and reconnecting to it's wisdom is at the heart of pleasure.
THE HEART
The practice of pleasure is in service to our beautiful, tender hearts. IN TCM, it is said that when the womb and heart are connected, there are deeper orgasms, enhanced fertility, and what we create has heart. When we protect our open, compassionate heart with clear boundaries and hear our heart's voice clearly, we can live with unconditional love for ourselves and others. Suddenly intimacy reaches levels of deep connection and mega-pleasure.
THE MIND
When our mind is our ally, there is nothing we can't do. This module focuses on getting your mind onboard with your desires, so that you can tune into your intuition and the deeper wisdom of the body. When we understand our own unique minds, we can create healthy pathways to more pleasure. What does your intellect tell you about pleasure? What does your intuition tell you about your sensuality? This module focuses on mindset practices that create pleasure-affirming beliefs.
THE SKIN
The skin is our boundaries. The relationship that we have to our boundaries are the key to sustaining your nourishment and pleasure. When we care for our skin, hair, teeth and nails, we're caring for our boundaries. We allow detoxification to move out what no longer serves us, and increase circulation to invite in what serves us now. This module works with bodycare and beauty practices to increase your immune system and your energetic protection. Protecting your pleasure is what empowers and sustains your deepest nourishment.
THE THROAT
The throat is the anatomical mirror of the reproductive organs. The two are intrinsically linked. When we open up to deeper nourishment and pleasure, we also open our throats to speaking our deeper truth. Our creativity and our self expression sparks. This module focuses on practices to nourish the connection to our throat and our communication.
What's included in the program
Jessica Golden
Each Friday you will receive a new lesson on creating deeper nourishment in your body. We are focusing on different areas of the body each week, learning how to care and connect with each aspect of that body part.
You will receive a video lesson with associated practices to try out throughout the week. We will have a weekly call to do a practice together and where you can receive coaching from me.
There will also be a private Facebook group to connect and share your journey with the other women in the course.
We will meet on Wednesday evenings at 7:30pm pacific time for 10 weeks. These calls be recorded and uploaded on the course site within 24 hours.
Yes! You will have lifetime access and as the course continues I will continue add to the resource library.
This is a change of the orientation of your being so you are actually practicing these philosophies all the time. By asking yourself, "how can I be in more pleasure?" in everything you do. But for the lessons, the practices and the calls, I recommend setting aside at least 3 hours a week to stay up with the course.
Most likely. I can't promise it will be the same material or the same price. But I can promise I'll continue teaching this material.
Yes, definitely.
The calls will be recorded but even if you just do the lessons and the practices this experience will be transformative.
I’m building this course to be like a sanctuary for you. Feeling into your body is a slow process, it takes some time for the body to unwind and so moving slow is inherent in the work we will be doing.
You are going to learn many tools but these tools are for you to work with over your lifetime. Adapting, clarifying and shifting them all along the way to best serve you.
This course is a gentle starting place wherever you are on your path. Because you set the pace.
And if you just learn how to rest in this course, that is priceless!
Yes, yes. The answer will always be yes.
The more we put off feeling good, the longer we go not feeling good! Trust me, I know, I am Queen of, "Well when I finish this I'll take care of myself."
The time is now. However that looks to you.
This course provides you a space to feel into what nourishment means for you. The sooner you know, the sooner you can relax into that knowledge.
Winter is a season of sensuality -- connected with the water element and deep yin. The perfect season to sink deeply into nourishment.
So instead of the monotony of habit change resolutions that come in the New Year, you can approach it from the feminine way of being: you start to feel really good in your body and the habit you wanted to change just falls into place.
Pleasure "work" is healing work. It's creative work. It's sacred work. It's liberation work.
A wise dude that I know (my dad) would always say there are many paths to freedom.
I've explored many of those paths but I've found the work of connecting into myself through the body and therefore connecting to the natural world and everyone in it to be one of the most fulfilling experiences.
And then there is also these really amazing blissful, ecstatic moments that can come from allowing yourself to feel pleasure.
Also, it's a weird world out there and living from anxiety, worry, fear or the feelings of separateness, less than, too much or not enough is just not the way.
Sensuality and connecting to your body reminds you of your inherent worth, your own magic and your connection to the wider world through every tissue, bone and breath of your body.
It basically supports you to be more you and more in love.
