Whole-Hearted Embodiment Coaching
via Spiraling with LJ
Maybe you don’t need another way to analyze yourself.
Maybe you need a different way of being in relationship with yourself.
hi love! i’m lenna jove (lj).
i have a hunch you didn’t end up here by accident or “coincidence.” i believe Life has a way of tugging on us when we’re ready to hear something new, of drawing us closer to people and energies that help us remember who we are and can be.
maybe you’ve been feeling that tug—the one that whispers (or screams) that surviving isn’t the same thing as living, the one who wonders whether all the energy you’ve spent becoming who you needed to be might finally be free to become who your heart already knows who you are.
if this feels like you, i’m glad you’re here.

the exhausted part? the hopeful one?
the skeptical part? the one quietly supporting everyone else?
the artist yearning to create again? the organizer wondering how to keep showing up without burning out? the caregiver who’s forgotten what it’s like to receive care? the part that’s tired of always translating to belong?
what part of you clicked this website today?
notice what comes up for you—what sensations, emotions, memories, ideas, thoughts.
this kind of noticing and attuning to the present moment is often where our work begins.
what if “healing” isn’t the point?
we’ve been conditioned to think growth is linear. we move forward, “get better,” leave the past behind, become some “best” version of ourselves.
i don’t believe change and transformation work that way. rather, i lean into our non-linear, spiral nature. we return to familiar feelings and places—not because we’ve failed, but because we’re capable of meeting them differently this time.
we return with more choice, more tenderness, more wisdom, and more capacity for intimacy.
the spiral isn’t a sign you’re stuck.
this is why i call this space Spiraling with LJ—because i believe transformation often happens through expansion by return, not through optimizing, perfecting, shaming, or grinding.
somewhere along the way, most of us learned to hide and protect our hearts/souls/spirits, to live our days as fragmented, disjointed selves.
we’ve learned to say yes when we mean no, to move faster than our bodies want, to perform instead of participating, and to achieve instead of resting in belonging.
we’ve been conditioned to stay productive instead of present. to survive (often barely) rather than truly, deeply living.
my heart aches with all the ways we mistrust the conversations within and between us. we live as though our bodies, minds, and spirits are separate. i, and i think you, know that’s not true.

whole-hearted embodiment is the lifelong practice of excavating these wounds and lies and repairing these relationships—between your body and mind, bodymind and soul, your inner world and your outer life.
our work isn’t about becoming someone new.
it’s about becoming less interrupted. i don’t believe your purpose or satisfaction is something you need to find. it’s something that naturally emerges as fear loosens its grip and love becomes more trustworthy.
i understand love as an active commitment to the growth of a soul/spirit, our own and another’s. if that’s true, then love isn’t separate from change. love is the very place change becomes possible.
liberation, to me, is the ongoing practice of centering love—not fear—as the organizing force of our choices, relationships, and lives. fear does’t just disappear, but it doesn’t get to run our lives.
our healing work together is about increasing your choicefulness as you live in this unliberated world and help practice the liberated futures we need.
this is the kind of change work i offer.
as a whole-hearted embodiment coach, liberation doula, and healing guide, i offer virtual Internal Family Systems (IFS)-Informed Parts Work and somatic coaching for adults across the United States and world.
i know that change happens when we become more curious about our inner world and choices, rather than fighting ourselves.
i weave parts work, somatic practices, mindfulness, relational approaches, deep human realness, and liberation-centered frameworks to help people build trust with themselves.
i work with the careworkers, artists, organizers, healers, lovers, and dreamers of better futures trying to survive this one.
i work with people who know, deep down, that they have something meaningful to contribute to the world but may feel taxed by how much energy surviving and caring has required.
if you feel a longing to trust yourself more, to live with greater alignment and integrity, to feel less divided inside, and to participate more in your life, i think you were meant to find me today.
what it feels like to work together
folks often tell me our work together helps them feel and act more like themselves. this doesn’t happen because i give great advice.
your growth happens because we cocreate enough trust and curiosity for your knowing to emerge.
i do ask unusual questions that get to the heart of a thing. i notice subtle shifts in energies. i trust silence, laugh easily, and welcome tears (and shed some of my own). i know delight belongs in changework as much as grief does.
we’ll slow down enough to listen to our nervous systems.
we’ll listen for the parts of you that have been carrying impossible responsibilities.
we’ll explore the stories and somatics you’ve inherited from your family, your communities, and the systems you’re surviving.
together, we practice repair instead of perfection, relationship instead of domination, and choice instead of automatic survival.
you’ll cultivate the kind of inner trust that ripples outward—into your relationships, your creativity, your work, and farther than you might ever know.
if you’re a previous client who’s found me again, our work might feel both familiar and very fresh/new in this container. reach out if you’re curious if we’re aligned and ready to connect again.
can I ask you one more question?
what if your life isn’t asking you to become someone else, but to simply become less interrupted?
less interrupted by fear, by shame, by old stories about who you had to be to be safe or loved.
less interrupted by the systems that taught you to disconnect from yourself.
what if our work is mostly remembering and realigning?
remembering how to trust yourself, how to belong to your body, how to move from your heart. remembering that your individual life is part of something much larger, and has something unique to experience and offer.
i believe every inner repair is a way of practicing the loving justice we need in our external shared world. every time we choose love over fear—even in the smallest moments—we participate in liberation.
if something inside you has been whispering or screaming, there has to be another way to live,
I’d be honored to spiral alongside you.
