On today’s episode of the Soul Connection Duo Podcast, we speak with somatic coach Alexandra Mollon. Alex healed the relationship with her body, overcame an eating disorder, stopped binge eating without any form of restriction, and learned how to eat intuitively. Alex’s own healing journey eventually led her to this healing work where she now helps people create a safe space to connect inward and heal trauma.
Alex shares her own healing journey and how the practice of Yoga is what initially allowed her to reconnect to her body and begin healing. Additionally, she explains how the discovery of somatic healing therapy and intuitive eating furthered her ability to heal by trusting her body as an intuitive guide. We discuss some of the fears that may arise when beginning to eat intuitively, and Alex provides us with some great insight on ways to ease into this practice. We also talk about emotional eating, cravings, and Alex reiterates the importance of treating our emotions and bodies with kindness during times of stress. Alex shares some of the ways that she was able to overcome the conditioning of society and break free from her own eating disorder and the pervasive diet culture that surrounds our eating habits.
We also learn more about somatic healing on today's episode. We chat about healing trauma, recognizing triggers, over and under-active nervous system responses, and more! Alex explains what a session with her may look like for a prospective client as well as her offerings, some of which include embodied sessions for Intuitive Eating Peer Support, Sex & Relationship Peer Support, and somatic healing. Please check out Alex’s website for more information and find her on Instagram (she might have the best username in the game) @mollonwarriorprincess.
“The somatic work is being able to pause yourself and come back into your body and be with what’s actually coming up.” -Alexandra Mollon
