Quotable Quotes

“The way that I gave birth mattered to me, and the way that I felt about it was important, and that it was worthy of process and acknowledgment.” —Britt Fohrman

“Pleasure is such a healing element, and yet most people in healing don’t consider pleasure.” —Debra Pascali-Bonaro

About Britt: 

As an embodiment teacher, coach, birth educator, and photographer for over two decades, Britt Fohrman helps people cultivate embodiment and expand pleasure through coaching, yoga, meditation, breathwork, somatic practice,  and mindfulness. 

Her practice is based on over 2 decades of experience in holding space for women standing at the threshold of life’s most profound transitions: becoming a mother, healing from illness, injury or loss, stepping into sexual power and opening to new beginnings. 

Britt holds a loving space for you to feel deeper into your body, allowing whatever is needed to be felt to come through, liberating you into living a life led by your desires, inner knowing and authentic values.

 

“In parenting, in mothering, and taking care of a child, there’s always going to be these portals of grief that we’re going to have to go through with our identity, our lifestyle, our schedule, and our bodies.”

—Britt Fohrman
