Somatic Healing and the Power of the Body/Mind Connection, with Lilia Bogoeva

Today I'm talking to Lilia Bogoeva. Lilia is a somatic practitioner of Myobeat somatic coaching, musician, and coach, who developed her mind-body practices after struggling with anorexia, bulimia, addiction, and depression. She is dedicated to teaching people how emotional trauma hurts your body and explores how to heal. She uses body-centred therapeutic practices to teach anyone struggling with emotional wounds how to deeply love your body and to make friends with your mind. In addition to her somatic coaching, Lilia is the front-woman of the metal band Karkaza, also a competitive powerlifter, and an animal lover! This makes her the expert on how to pursue physical performance goals while loving your body and keeping a healthy mindset about the various facets of life! In the episode today, we’re going to explore Lilia’s story of recovery from eating disorders, addiction and depression and how she navigated this path. Lilia is absolutely passionate about somatic and artistic practices and will be sharing how she used these in her own healing and now supports her clients with doing the same. She talks about the limitations of talking therapy and the value in coming back into the body. She shares her unique methods in how she supports her clients today. A fascinating episode. A truly inspiring woman. I hope that you enjoy it. Trigger warning: this episode contains some references to suicidal thoughts.
