Yes. In the UK, counsellors and psychotherapists can count Body-Informed Leadership programs towards CPD hours.

Body-Informed Leadership is for anyone with a body, who is part of a group (a family, an organisation, a friendship, a community). By becoming more connected to our embodied life, we learn to make more conscious choices about how we embody and express ourselves.

Instead of unknowingly repeating patterns we’ve inherited from our personal and collective histories, we can bring more intention and purpose to the ways we impact the group fields we are a part of at the foundational, embodied level.

Madelanne has worked extensively with grassroots, third-sector, as well as corporate leaders. While Body-Informed Leadership programs are already accessible and relevant to leaders across these domains, Madelanne can further support individual leaders to consider how the skillsets specifically apply within their particular context.

Madelanne uses the term ‘liberatory somatics’ to refer to somatic practices focused on cultural — as well as personal — change, and which explicitly transform and heal dynamics of inequality within and between bodies.

Liberatory somatics practices are inherently decolonising, as they address patterns of intergenerational trauma which are a hallmark of the colonial experience.

Body-Informed Leadership is a liberatory somatics practice, alongside other bodies of practice including Somatic Abolitionism and Cultural Somatics.

Body-Informed Leadership welcomes people of all genders, identities, racialisations, and ethnicities. All material is held with an intersectional awareness and an active invitation for multiple perspectives to be expressed.

Madelanne is a white-bodied cis-gender person, and understands that her perspectives — however intersectionally-aware — will be shaped by her life experience as such. She is committed to an ongoing practice of self-reflection and self-accountability, and is open to feedback, so that she can be as trustworthy a companion and ally as possible to the people she works with.

Body-Informed Leadership holds at its heart a celebration of our differences as the basis for (rather than obstacle to) connection.
