Through years of study, mentorship, training, personal practice, and hands-on experience supporting individuals and groups, I came to believe that the body holds a deep intelligence and capacity for healing when given the conditions of safety, presence, and support.

Again and again, I found that insight alone wasn't enough. Many of the patterns we carry are not held only in the mind. They live in the body, the nervous system, and the protective strategies that once helped us survive.

This understanding became the foundation of The Body-Led Method.

Rooted in mindfulness science, somatic training, Internal Family Systems-informed inquiry, breathwork, and years of guiding individuals and groups through deep nervous system work, The Body-Led Method was born from both my own healing journey and the countless people I have had the privilege of supporting along the way.

I hold a Master's Degree in Mindfulness Studies and completed a two-year mindfulness and meditation training through Sounds True with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield.

My work has been shaped by years of study in mindfulness, yoga, breathwork, somatics, nervous system regulation, and contemplative practice, as well as mentorship from teachers including Kali Basman, Lara Elliott, Coeli Marsh, and Masaaki Okamura.

Training & Background

connect with Madeleine

  • "Madeleine is kind, nurturing, and intuitive, and seems to speak directly to my experience every time I do breathwork with her."

  • "From the moment you meet Madeleine, you feel completely at ease and fall into a trusting space. When you step into her studio you can tell she has intentionally crafted an environment you can safely open in."

  • "She has a knack for meeting you exactly where you are and holding space for you to laugh, cry, scream, and be as human as can be right alongside her."

The Body-Led Approach

Talk therapy can only take us so far. While insight can be valuable, many of the patterns we carry live beyond conscious awareness, held within the body and nervous system.

When the body feels safe enough, something begins to shift.

The body softens.

The nervous system settles.

What has been held begins to move.

A deep sense of presence returns.
