16: Embodied Presence with Rachel Lewis Marlow

What if the key to healing lies not just in our thoughts, but deep within the wisdom of our bodies - and how could connecting with others and embracing movement transform your path to recovery?

Welcome to episode 16 of the Embodied: Step Into You Podcast with your hosts Paula Scatoloni and Leslie Rhyne. In this episode, Paula and Leslie sit down with Rachel Lewis Marlow, a psychotherapist and co-founder of the Embodied Recovery Institute, whose work blends somatic integration with psychotherapy.

She touches on the essential role that community plays, how nonverbal communication helps foster connection, and the delicate balance between cognitive (top-down) and body-based (bottom-up) therapeutic approaches.
