Embody Life Holistic Wellness

Embody Life Holistic Wellness Body-Centered Holistic Empowerment Coaching is a wellness coaching session that focuses on sustainable healing and transformation from the inside out.

Founder of Embody Life Alison Rothman, MA CYT, has nearly 30 years of study and experiences in somatic healing arts and therapy, yoga, dance, and meditation, authentic embodiment, and holistic healing.

1:1/Groups/Retreats/Events Working with Alison is an opportunity to drop in to your body, dig into your hearts stirrings, uncover and hear all that which is holding you back from living a life of presence and connection, and create attainable action steps towards your unique imprint of healing and empowerment. Through Somatic Therapy, Body Awareness, Mindfulness, Movement, and a variety of other Holistic Wellness Modalities, together, we will create the platform for new pathways of growth and possibility. Reclaim your connection with your Body, your Mind, your Heart, your Spirit, and your Soul and feel whole and empowered in the truth of who you are. Transform your state of being by cultivating the capacity to live connected to your truest Self. Learn how to respond, rather than react to life. Interrupt the story and reclaim your power. Find greater ease and peace in your life. Empower oneself and gain unwavering confidence. Release the grasp of addictions and addictive patterns. Attract in deep, fulfilling, aligned, and conscious relationships. Open up to new possibilities of living, being, and loving. Build the capacity to be comfortable in stillness. Tap into a deep sense of inner calm and steadiness that translates into your day-to-day life. Gain the skills and resource to remain embodied and connected to yourself in midst of the natural swirls of human life. What is BODY-CENTERED HOLISTIC EMPOWERMENT COACHING? The body has so much to share with us if we take the time to drop in and listen. I truly believe that we cannot heal ourselves without learning how to drop into and connect with our bodies. It is a process and a journey of discovery as we peel back the layers of tension in our cells, tissues, muscles, bones, and nervous system to uncover the truth of who we are in our purest form. It is the human condition to take on the energies and emotions of the evolution of our lives….everyone does it. What is then demanded of us, if we want to heal from the inside out in a sustainable and empowered way, is to learn how to unwind these tensions and feel ourselves on a deeper level….an embodied and aligned level. Working with the body and through the body with unwavering compassion, curiosity, kindness, and love is the way to do this. We can spend years re-hashing our life’s stories through talking and recapitulating their every nuance, without dropping into our bodies, and never progress. There is another way. I understand that for many it is incredibly difficult to know how to drop into our bodies and feel our feelings after spending years upon years stifling the body out of protection. When we numb, suppress, ignore, and/or distract ourselves, we delete our capacity to show up for our lives in their current state. This may be completely unconscious. We must work through the body to heal. Alison Rothman, MA CYT, the founder of Embody Life, is a Body-Centered Holistic Coach and Group Facilitator utilizing her extensive studies, experience, and first-hand knowledge of the capacity within the human body and spirit to heal. Alison provides clients with the ability to access their inner resources and release debilitating life patterns in order to reclaim their body, mind, and heart connection. Her approach to wellness is empowering and individualized honoring the diverse process of healing. Alison’s One-On-One Body-Centered Holistic Coaching Sessions, Women’s Wellness Retreats and Groups, the Embody Brilliance Coaching Program, The Acceptance Circle, In Power Women’s Community Program and Events, IN POWER WOMEN'S (Drop In~ In Person) CIRCLES and her signature course: Healing the Divide: An Exploration for Single Women and Men (coming in 2022!), support individuals with compassionate guidance and effective modalities to reset their relationship with their bodies, work with their minds, unwind trauma and habitual ways of living and being, learn how to connect with authenticity and truth to themselves and others, and embrace their unique existence.

09/15/2026

We are less than a month away from gathering for our late Fall Women's Retreat (Falling Into Self in Community 🍂) — I have space for a few more women to join the circle! 🙏

As we get closer, I keep thinking about how rare it is to give ourselves permission to step away from the fullness of our lives for a couple of days.

Not to escape our lives. Not to pretend that everything waiting for us will disappear. But to create enough space to hear ourselves again.

Our lives become so full. It can all feel like A LOT. We tend to the people we love. We carry responsibilities. We navigate challenges. We keep doing what needs to be done.

I understand fully the juggle.

And somewhere in all of that, it can become harder to hear our own inner voice — or even know what we need.

This is part of the medicine of retreat.

We step away from our lives to truly hear and tend and hold and honor all that is alive in us.

To bring the exhaustion, grief, questions, tenderness, uncertainty — whatever is asking for our attention — and, for a little while, put some of it down.

We, collectively, enter a safe, loving, accepting, therapeutic container with other women doing the same.

We move. We dance. We rest. We write. We sit in circle. We spend time in nature. We laugh. We cry. We speak the truth. We listen. We witness one another.

And somewhere inside all of that, shifts begin to happen.

I have witnessed this again and again over the years of leading women’s retreats. When we have the time, space, safety, and support to really be with ourselves — and to be witnessed by other women — something opens.

We remember parts of ourselves that have gotten buried beneath the demands of everyday life.

We hear things we haven't been able to hear in all the noise.

We gain clarity around what is working, what isn't, what we are longing for, and what may be ready to change.

And we leave carrying something different back into our lives.
Not because everything has been figured out in a weekend, but because we have shifted our relationship to ourselves and to what we are moving through.

There is laughter and there are tears. Deep sharing and abundant hugs. Grief has an opportunity to surface. There is witnessing and support. Safety and acceptance.

And perhaps one of the greatest medicines is remembering:
I am not alone in any of this.

This is not a luxury spa retreat or an escape from your life. It is an opportunity to step more fully INTO your life — with greater clarity, connection, and access to yourself.

If something in you is feeling the nudge to do something for YOU, I would be honored to have you.

I intentionally created this retreat on the shorter side and more accessible for women to join who have a harder time exiting their lives for many reasons....

Come as you are. Bring your life with you.
All of you is welcome. ❤️

I have been moving through some layers of grief these past few weeks.

Aging parents. Raising a teenager in troubling times. Relationship challenges. Mysterious menopausal symptoms. Life.

There have been tears, emotional and physical exhaustion, and moments of feeling heavy and consumed by it all.

And still, I have stayed present with my life through it. Trusting the waves. Trusting they will rise and fall, as they always do.

After decades of doing my own work — unraveling addictive patterns, shedding shame, and learning how to ride the many waves of being human — I know that feeling it all is an essential part of healing.

Not bypassing it or shoving it down, but allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, messy, tender, joyful, grieving, uncertain — HUMAN.

And when we allow ourselves to be seen this way, something begins to soften.

The armor loosens. Shame releases its grip. We give ourselves — and each other — permission to tell the truth about our lives.

When this happens within safe and supportive community, our healing is magnified.

This is a tremendous piece of my work and mission: creating spaces where women can shed some of what they have been carrying and experience what becomes possible when we allow ourselves to be fully human — together.

This is the heart of my retreats and community events.

They aren't about escaping your life or becoming some shinier, "healed" version of yourself.

They are a place to bring your life.

To rest. Move. Feel. Be witnessed. Laugh. Cry. Lay some of the armor down and listen for what is asking to shift, release, or emerge.

✨I have a few spaces remaining for my late Fall Women's Retreat (Falling Into Self in Community) in beautiful Colorado.🍂

🌈October 9th - 11th at Sagestone Adventure Lodge 🌟

If you are craving a place to rest your soul, move what has been sitting inside of you, and be held in genuine community with other women, perhaps this is your invitation. 🥰

Here are the details (https://www.embodymylife.com/fall-womens-retreat-2026) or reach out to me directly. I would be honored to have you! 🙏💕

The older I get the more I appreciate the moments of life. The moments that are connected and happy. The moments that feel easeful and grounded.

With age comes the awareness that things are never perfect and that there is always something...and that we have the choice moment-by-moment to breathe in gratitude and appreciation and accept the imperfections.

With age comes the glaring reality of the impermanence of life and how precious these moments truly are.

Here is a moment from my life. A significant one. My 81-year old Dad — who has not been able to fly out to Colorado since my Mom’s cancer diagnosis over a year ago coupled with his own health issues — made it out for my SENIOR’S 1st Mountain Bike Race of his last season. Not a perfect weekend experience by any means — with the Full Moon/Eclipse energy swirling — but a memorable and meaningful one without a doubt.

Grateful for these moments and cherish them.

I hope that you are all finding your moments of connection and happiness in midst of the swirls as well. 🥰🫶✨

Whew this one hit hard...I needed a moment to gather myself and my thoughts and wanted to mindfully and intentionally share some of Dolly’s words for inspiration for us all....

With so much darkness and hatred and violence and evil swirling in the world right now it is unfathomable as to why a beaming light of goodness and philanthropy would be taken from this earthly plane.

Lots of tears as I write this and dancing on the edge of losing faith while simultaneously feeling the pull to KEEP the faith and flame burning...in Dolly’s honor and for the younger generations knowing the good she spread in her purpose on this planet for children and humanity on the whole.

May we ALL keep the flame of HOPE burning and carry it through this insane world with love and kindness... fiercely looking out for those who are most vulnerable to the hate, cruelty, and dehumanization of these troubling times.

Rest in Power Dolly. You have left a beautiful and important impact on society and your heart and light will be missed. 💔❤️‍🔥☮️

KEEP CHOOSING TO GROW.

The answers will come.
The path will open.
The alignment will take shape.
The people will appear.
The opportunities will present themselves.

What is meant for you will not bypass your life. Stay steady in yourself. Do the practices that feed your body and soul.

Do not bypass, numb, or distract. Stay present and awake.

Keep choosing growth over comfort.

So much is swirling right now...what do you need to do for your process of life to keep showing up and growing yourself?

As always, I am out here for support, guidance, and connection. Reach out anytime!

With love and reverence,
Alison 🙏💞🥰

I genuinely want to leave interactions with my fellow humans allowing them to feel better than before we crossed paths—to help them to remember that they are not alone—even if it is just a fleeting moment of ease, joy, confidence, witness, value, love…connection.

Allowing the space to be human…together.

I feel so strongly how crucial it is for me to be a beacon of light in the world— to help others feel seen, even for a microsecond of interaction. To spread kindness, encourage presence, make eye contact, ask questions, or even just a genuine smile that could gift someone with a moment of relating that they have been needing.

The outside world is dark on many levels as the cobwebs of society continue to reveal themselves. So many have gone through massive amounts of loss, upheaval, trauma, and deep disconnect these past years.

As we rebuild in our communities, continuously locate our tribe for the journey, do our own personal work to reveal who we are NOW…these micro-moments of authenticity, of joy and love, of mutual appreciation and celebration, and, most importantly, each of us being exactly who we are is so critical to the healing of the planet on the whole.

We can remember that in midst of the darkness and disconnect that there are so many human beings doing their absolute best to show up in their lives every day with integrity and alignment, with compassion and empathy, and with a commitment to their individual and collective healing.

That is what feels so important to me at this middle-aged time of my life.

If I can continuously create the spaces and opportunities for my fellow humans to feel seen, heard, valued, loved, appreciated, and deeply witnessed on their life journeys — my life feels purposeful.

I would be honored to connect on this human journey!

07/14/2026

A part of me WOKE UP on our Midwest excursion that has been dormant — the part of me that was squashed with solo motherhood and the abusive narcissistic relationship I was engulfed in. I lost myself.

These past many years have been this process of reclaiming on so many levels. As Kai has gotten older and more independent I have begun to access more parts of myself that have lain dormant....

The parts of myself that were buried by the demands that my life circumstances offered me...the stresses and the tension...the abuse and extreme criticism of who I am...the constant need for hyper alertness as though a crisis was looming...

My nervous system imprinted in those early years of motherhood — and these past many years have been an often messy dance of unraveling and reorganizing. Of capturing those lost aspects of ME and intentionally embodying them in my system.

These 9 days felt as though I re-inhabited myself — in relationship to Michael, to myself, and to the world on the whole in a way that is anchored in authenticity and truth....pure love and aligned connection.

Just a moment here of connection from my overflowing heart as I re-enter the noisy outside world....holding the magic and love close...consciously choosing, moment-by-moment to embody myself in all of my humanness and truly celebrate and embrace those lost aspects of exactly who I am so that I can continue my work of empowering women to do the same.

With a full heart and deep gratitude,
Alison 🙏🫶💖🌈💞

Join myself and this beautiful and supportive community at our Fall Women's Retreat: Falling Into Self in Community in Twin Lakes, Colorado!

My intention with offering this shorter retreat option is to make it accessible to more women, while simultaneously preserving the depth, intimacy, and potency of the retreat experience.

A deeply nourishing embodied retreat for women who are longing to slow down, recalibrate, and reconnect with themselves in meaningful and authentic community.

Set in the Colorado mountains during late Fall, this retreat offers a spacious pause from daily demands and an opportunity to land fully in your body, your breath, and your inner knowing.

This experience is about unwinding, listening inwardly, liberating energy, and allowing space for what is ready to soften, shift, or be released.

05/20/2026

Something I have always taken pride in about myself is my commitment to authenticity. My choice to show up from that congruent place in all arenas of life.

I keep it real.
(For better or worse at times!)

I also feel it is critical for those in helping professions to be honest about their own healing paths — their challenges, struggles, unravelings, and what has helped them find their way out of the muck of life and back into harmony with their truest selves.

To humanize the human experience.
To dissolve the illusion of superiority that can come with titles, education, credentials, or roles.

It feels more important than ever to surround ourselves with people who are living and breathing truth — those willing to show up in the messiness, tenderness, uncertainty, beauty, and complexity of this human life.

I know for myself that when I seek professional support, I need to feel the authenticity of the person in order to trust that they can truly hold mine.

Because this work is relational.
A dance.
A space for practice, exploration, reflection, and healing.

And for me, in the role of guide, it is essential that my humanness remains alive. I am not interested in presenting myself as someone who has it all figured out.

There is no hierarchy in being human.
Healing does not require perfection.
The more truthfully we show up, the more healing becomes possible.

Ultimately, it is my intention to create spaces where women can BE REAL. To loosen the grip of shame, silence, performance, and the stories that have kept them small. To sift themselves out from beneath the noise of external influence and reconnect with the truth of who they are.

My willingness to sit in my own authentic self — in my imperfect body and vulnerable heart — creates permission for others to do the same.

I am committed to showing up truthfully, with awareness, humility, integrity, and heart.

Your process is safe with me.

I hold the fullness of this human experience with deep integrity, compassion, self-awareness, reverence, and care.

The terrains of this life can be rugged and rough, smooth and expansive, heartbreaking and beautiful — often all at once.

We all need humans on our team who invite us to become more and more of our truest selves.

Are you feeling the pull towards some deeper healing and transformational work? I have a few spaces available for 1:1 work together. Let's connect.

I am here with an open heart, in service and support, and with unwavering faith in our ability to heal, transform, and RISE.
