Meet Jocelyn Diles | Women’s Embodiment Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jocelyn Diles and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jocelyn, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I believe that taking risks is incredibly courageous and requires us to really look inside of ourselves for that deep trust. I trust that no matter what happens, I will be safe and I will make it through a lesson and come out stronger, wiser, and more abundant. This is how I see risks. This is why I work with women who are in a crossroads of taking a huge risk that will change their lives one way or another. They choose to trust me to guide them in courageously going within themselves to discover pain, fears, past wounds, and true love. And they choose to trust what messages come through to guide them in their relationship and to step out of the comfort zone that has inadvertently created a lot of suffering for them.

In my life, I have taken big risks that were calculated through my heart. When I left my life in Seattle to hike the entire Appalachian trail, that was a risk because I knew it would change me, but I didn’t know who I would be after I finished. There was deep trust in my heart that told me this is what was necessary for my path. And it was the most wonderful, transformational experience of my life. When I left Colorado to drive alone with my dog to Guatemala, everyone in my family was terrified. But I felt confident. Every part of my body said I had to go even though I couldn’t explain it. Three years later, I look at my beautiful son, and I know that it was his spirit calling me there.

So we have to take risks if we want our lives to change. If we are stuck in a rut or feeling lost and we notice a call towards something that scares us. We need to listen. But it takes practice to be able to clearly listen to our intuition when it comes to risk taking. if we do it blindly, without having harnessed a greater self awareness, then it can be irresponsible and destructive.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am a women’s embodiment coach. To be specific, I support mamas who are unhappy in their marriage gain clarity on how to rebuild a more loving, intimate and passionate relationship. We do this work through guided meditations and journeys, plus home practices to help them connect more deeply with their bodies. Now in doing this work, sometimes the outcome is not to rebuild the relationship but to make the couragous decision to leave in conscous uncoupling.

What sets me apart from other embodiment coaches is that my work is highly intuitive. I do have many tools and resources I use and refer to for each client based on what comes through in each session. But when we work together on the phone, my intention is to listen deeply by connecting to their highest guidance, and be guided by their spirit in the meditation. Sometimes, I might think that a specific tool is what they need to work on today, or that it would be good to set out a plan for our time together, but then I find my intuition leading us in a different direction and it ends up being more powerful than I could have imagined. I am often surprised by the discoveries that my clients share with me at the end of a session.

What is really exciting is when a client comes to me and is on the verge of divorce but still has hope for something to change in the relationship, and we turn it around completely. To watch a couple be able to rekindle a love or even build a passion that they never had to begin with is enlivening and it fills my heart with so much joy.

How did I get to where I am today? I have taken a lot of risks and I trust myself. It has not been easy. It has been scary and I have learned hard lessons along the way. But every single lesson I have learned has made me the woman and mother I am today. They have all given me more courage, more love and gratitude, and more trust in myself that I am capable of doing what I do.

I think this speaks to my brand because I am supporting women in building love and trust in themselves to make hard, couragous decisions. Whether it’s the decision to leave their partner, or the decision to get closer, to open her heart and receive him softly, to chose love instead of anger, and to let go of all the resentments and start over.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Wow, well I am going to pick my friend who is more like me because then we would spend all of our time hiking in the mountains. Since we are in the fall and it is prime season for leaf peeping, I would take her to Kebler Pass. We would drive through Crested Butte and Paonia so we could stop at all the witchy apothecary’s and sample oils, tinctures, and teas. Later, I would take her to visit one of my local friend’s garden in Boulder to harvest flowers and herbs so I could send her home with a bunch teas to support her immune system for the winter.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
To the women who have supported me in opening up to the world and feeling safe. Shirley became like a second mother to me in my 20s. When I started becoming interested in buddhism and yoga she was the only person who I could have these conversations with. We would question our culture, society, the rules that governed us, and she showed me what aging gracefully and confidently looked like. She loved me and I felt it and knew it. I never questioned her love and trust for me, which was something rare in my life at that time. Also, shout out to Kristina Sofia. A woman who held space for me to go into me fears that were locked in my body and gently encouraged me to express myself fully. She was my voice coach, but turned out to be my mentor and friend. She showed me what lied dormant in my throat, belly, and heart, and taught me how to hold space for others to explore their body and fears that lie within and how to work with these blocks in a gentle way with love and patience. Lastly, I want to shout out to Mary, who held me while I scream cried one night when we did MDMA together. I told her it was going to be a really fun time, but turned out that something in my soul needed to cry out and it chose this time. Mary held me lovingly, like a mother holds her baby, as I cried in pain for hours. Maybe this was an eruption of all of the years I needed to cry and couldn’t. It is because of her that I know what it feels like to cry in someone’s arms and feel completely safe.
