For much of my life, I felt held back by insecurity and self-doubt. I knew how to perform, please, and do what was asked of me with 110% effort.
I could analyze a decision from every angle and still feel paralyzed.
I knew how to be the person I thought I should be and had planned to become, but I still felt empty and numb inside.
I’m Mary Lofgren.
I’m a somatic leader, educator, and award-winning coach.
For more than 20 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of learning, leadership, and embodiment.
I’ve led teams of educators, developed trainers and facilitators, designed certification programs, and coached individuals through meaningful personal and professional change.
My work helps people access the intelligence of the body, release the patterns that limit them, and develop the self-trust to act on what they know.
But this work is personal, too.
My transformation began when I discovered movement, expression, and embodied practice as a way to break free from self-doubt and reconnect with the desires, instincts, and passions I had learned to override.
When I learned to stop fighting my body and my emotions and began to embody them instead, everything changed. I stopped overriding what I felt and began to discover a wisdom and power that years of planning, therapy, and analyzing myself couldn’t come close to.
Through embodiment, I discovered a kind of power that went far beyond control: the power of self-trust, of knowing my own mind and acting from instinct, rather than overthinking.
This experience continues to shape how I live lead, teach, coach, and create.
So, if you are:
Drawn to the path of embodiment, and looking for a trusted, experienced guide.

Being nudged by parts of yourself that have been neglected or forgotten, and that are ready to reawaken.
Or you just simply want more beauty and magic in your day to day…
