The Becoming mBODYed Method
Excellence should not require chronic strain.
The Becoming mBODYed Method reduces unnecessary physical and cognitive holding so performance, leadership, and creativity remain sustainable.
It integrates Alexander Technique, somatic mapping, performance training, and nonprofit leadership to address how pressure is organized in real time across professional environments.
This work is for professionals who are performing well and no longer willing to ignore the cost.
The Pattern We Address
Under pressure, the body often:
shortens breath
narrows attention
stabilizes excessively
maintains activation after the demand has passed
These responses support short-term excellence.
Repeated over time, they become a baseline. The result is not breakdown. It is persistent over-organization.
Effort remains elevated. Recovery slows. Creativity narrows.
What This Method Addresses
The Becoming mBODYed Method works directly with:
effort distribution
breath responsiveness
attentional flexibility
anticipatory tightening
recovery between demands
The objective is not relaxation.
The objective is proportion.
Effort that matches the task. Activation that resolves when the moment ends. Precision without bracing.
What Changes
Clients report:
faster recovery after high-demand work
steadier breath in critical moments
reduced anticipatory tension
clearer transitions between roles
increased creative access
less cumulative fatigue
Nothing is added.
Excess effort is reorganized.
Capacity increases because strain decreases.
“Shawn understands the academic environment from the inside. As an accomplished educator who moved from adjunct to tenured studio professor, he knows the pressures faculty carry and the physical and emotional cost of sustaining excellence. His integration of somatic training with professional realities makes his work both practical and deeply relevant.”

Structure of Engagement
All work begins with a Somatic Body Mapping Session.
This session allows us to:
observe how pressure is currently organized
identify where compensation escalates
test small adjustments in real time
determine the appropriate level of engagement
From there, the work continues through:
-
Three- and six-month containers focused on sustainable performance, leadership clarity, and physical recovery. Beginning at $1,000 per month.
-
Six-week group coaching cohorts addressing over-functioning, burnout patterns, and capacity expansion. Beginning at $1,500.
-
Level I and II are twelve-week intensives beginning at $5,000 for professionals integrating this work into teaching or leadership roles.
Level III one-year certification track at $7,500 for individuals interested in teaching the Alexander Technique and Body Mapping.
