There is an inate desire for a world built on equality, belonging and connection to each other and the planet

My name is Celine Waters, I am a Life Designer, Professional Coach and in-training Mind/Body Psychotherapist.  I am in service to healing relationships from the inside out, so we can cultivate connection, aliveness authenticity and resilience. 

I believe we need to be in the process of right relationship with self to be in honest connection with others and the complexity of our times.

Practicing right relationship asks us to live inside of ourselves, reconnect with ourselves and include ourselves.  We get to deepen our ability to sense, embody, feel, and navigate dynamic and changing environments, internally and externally. 

The more work we do on ourselves, the more present we can be. We are in and of the world.   Systemic trauma is a result of power over systems and social norms that shape us, whether we like it or not. We cannot depend on a top-down approach to the equality we seek, we meet the collapse from the bottom up by working on ourselves so we can be with others in mutuality over fractured relationships. 

We need each other and our planet needs us to reconnect with something bigger than ourselves. 

    

Dealing with complexity ​and cultivating joy

We cannot think our way out of complexity. Our stories, survival strategies, emotions and sensations sit in our 'Soma'. Soma is the greek word for wholeness. It means we are social/rational/thinking and emotional beings.
To make space for something new, we have to get to know ourselves in new ways and open ourselves up to new life-affirming possibilities while letting go of adaptive strategies that no longer serve us in our current times. 

Embodied transformation, purposeful practice and taking action helps us find our authentic purpose. The more you can connect to your own felt sense and desire to make a positive difference in the world, the more powerfully and effectively you can take action for yourself, community, planet and social justice.

My Work

Embodied Transformation
​
Embodied Transformation serves 
individual, collective and systemic change.  We know when we have transformed, if the way we act is aligned with our values and vision, even under pressure. Coaching at all levels of change - individual, collective and systemic deepens our capacity to be with complexity and contradiction enabling us to be in and with the change.

​ Business Transformations often overlook the critical aspect of emotional intelligence and the mind - body connection. Emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in sensing and managing the emotional undercurrents that can make or break a transformation.  

We can be in generative conflict and build trust over separation. We can harness our inherent resilience as a collective, over individuality. We can stay centred in change.  

I coach individuals and teams, using Embodiment Leadership and Adult Development methodologies to create our visions and navigate the storms as a collective.  

By fostering a workplace culture that values emotional awareness, openness and practice, companies are better equipped to manage the human side of change, ultimately leading to more successful transformations.

​This work brings you in touch with your own innate abilities to transition and transform,  it will change you. 

Being in Right Relationship 
​
​I facilitate 'The Right Relationship Project' series of workshops. The focus of the work is;
- Connection to Self
- Connection to Other 
- Connection to Land & Spirit.

This work cares about holistic health, conditioned tendencies, patterns, habits, resilience and self-care.

 We see the world via our collective life experiences and are shaped by social context - norms, industries and government, all outside of our family of origin. 
 
Being stressed for long periods is considered a normal part of life, despite the long-term consequences to our physical, emotional, spiritual and mental well-being. 
​
Trauma is prevalent. Statistics tell us that 90% of us will experience a traumatic experience in our lifetime.
​
There is space for both healing and growth in our life experiences.

The Being in Right Relationship project looks to healing aspects of the relationship with self, the need to belong and the need to connect with Land & Spirit.

 Co-Create, in Social Context 
​
​​I research with and for social impact organisations. I bring embodiment and design together.

My deep knowledge in trauma and systemic trauma can be with people who have experienced trauma and hold space for that, 

I create containers that inspire belonging, goodwill and equal distribution of hierarchy. 
Systems change will be the defining feature of our century.  And if we stay on our current course, that change will manifest as a complete collapse.

Belonging, safety and self worth are core inherent needs of all life and are not reflected in our current experiences, products and services.  
​
There is an opportunity  to start thinking and co-designing with life at the centre, beyond the individual consumer.  If this is of interest to you, I look
​forward to collaborating.
