About The Work
At Body Benevolence, the work begins with a return — to your body, your truth, and your wholeness.
This is a space to slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with yourself — beyond performance, perfectionism, or pressure.
Hi, I’m Mitch (she/her) and I am a somatic healing practitioner supporting people who feel disconnected from their bodies—whether through trauma, pain, or living in a marginalized body. Through 1:1 sessions and group offerings, I guide clients in body attunement: a restorative embodiment process that nurtures comfort with sensation, builds trust in the body’s wisdom, and creates space for authentic healing and self-connection.
This work is not about “fixing” you — because you are not broken.
It’s about supporting you in feeling more like yourself, fully and freely.
What Guides This Work
Embodiment – I believe the body carries wisdom, memory, and insight. We work gently with the nervous system and all parts of our body to create space for curiosity, safety, and connection.
Inclusivity – All bodies, identities, and emotional experiences are welcome here. This is a space of respect, openness, and care.
Compassion – We move at your pace. You are the expert of your own experience. I'm here to support and witness, not to direct or diagnose.
Presence & Intuition – Every session is shaped by what arises. I bring grounded presence and intuitive guidance, while honoring the uniqueness of each moment. If you're ready to embark on a journey towards freedom-based wholeness, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Together, we'll explore gentle movement, embodiment practices, and holistic healing modalities to help you reconnect with your body and live a life of authenticity and vibrancy.
Scope of Practice
While this work often supports emotional release or insight, it is not mental health treatment. I am not a licensed clinician, and these sessions are not a substitute for therapy or medical care. I hold space as a trained somatic and energetic practitioner and will always refer out when additional support is needed.
Credentials & Training
My approach is rooted in both formal training and lived, embodied experience. I bring a unique blend of movement, energetic work, and somatic presence to each session.

Why This Work Is Personal to Me
I’m a queer, fat woman living with chronic pain, and I carry all of those experiences into this work. Navigating a world that often asks us to override or shrink ourselves has shown me how powerful it is to come home to our bodies with radical acceptance. I’m not here to heal you — I’m here to walk alongside you, to listen deeply, and to support you in returning to yourself with gentleness and honesty.
If you’re seeking a space to reconnect to your body, honor your emotional landscape, and be met exactly where you are — you’re in the right place.
