Discover tools and techniques to help you regulate your nervous system and cultivate a deeper sense of calm and presence as a leader. MEgan shares her unique path from physical therapist to body-mind coach and reveals the secrets behind somatic psychology and the subtle art of being a "human being" rather than merely a "human doing."

MEgan Moseley is the founder of Bodywise Consulting and the creator of The Art and Science of BEing ME—a transformative framework that blends 35+ years as a physical therapist with deep expertise in somatic psychology, nervous system resiliency, trauma release, and embodied coaching.
Through evidence-based somatic practices, MEgan guides leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers to harness the wisdom of their bodies, shift from survival into authentic BEing, and cultivate nervous system states that support clarity, confidence, and aligned action.
Her retreats, courses, and 1:1 coaching help clients reconnect with their core truth, build embodied resilience, and lead from a place of grounded presence. The result? Greater ease, deeper impact, and a ripple effect of authenticity and wellBEing that transforms not just their work—but their lives, communities, and beyond.
