Amanda MacRae is a somatic coach and founder of Be Your Total Self. Amanda shares her o helping people embark on the journey within and learn to read the language of the body, which is much more sensitive and aware than our mind. We also learn about her journey from the high-speed world of advertising to the embodied, love-centered work of somatic coaching, helping people reconnect with their “home body” to find safety, trust, and transformation through deep awareness which is key to finding yourself again when you live abroad.

In this Episode:

• The Language of the Body: Symptoms and sensations are early signals—wisdom that often precedes burnout or illness.
• From Advertising to Healing: After her sister’s passing, Amanda turned inward, discovered body-based work, and reshaped her life’s direction.
• Love as the Missing Ingredient: Unconditional presence is the catalyst—creating safety, acceptance, and the possibility of true change.
• Expat and Transition Work: Having lived across continents, Amanda supports globally mobile clients with grounding, belonging, and cultural shifts.
• Practical Entry Points: Start small—notice sensations, breathe with awareness, move with curiosity, and meet pain with compassion instead of fear.

Amanda’s approach invites both healing and growth—softening effort, expanding ease, and stepping into your full self.
