PICKED UP ALONG OUR PATH, BUILDING THE FOUNDATION TO CREATE AND LIVE IN SACRED
COMMUNITY AND TO WELCOME PLEASURE BACK INTO YOUR LIFE IN PROFOUND WAYS.

INSIDE OF THE EMBODIED LIVING CO.’S


SIGNATURE TRAINING


SELM: THE SENSUALLY EMBODIED LIVING METHOD


YOU WILL IMMERSE YOURSELF DEEPLY IN…

Understanding your conscious mind, subconscious mind and your nervous system on
an entirely new level. You’ll learn exactly how to liberate yourself from self
sabotaging tendencies and you’ll learn what your unique nervous system needs to
build connection instead of disconnection.




YOU’LL LEARN THE TRUE ART OF EMBODIMENT

How to become the woman you want to be, with the life you want to lead, NOW vs
hoping for it to arrive in a distant future daydream.




YOU’LL LEARN HOW TO RECONNECT TO YOUR BODY, YOUR SENSUALITY & YOUR SENSING
SYSTEM IN THE MOST PROFOUND WAY.

You will learn to quite literally heal your body from the inside out, work with
painful or overwhelming emotions in a way that feels sustainable & liberating
and you’ll cultivate deeper, more euphoric states of pleasure day to day.

I teach you my approach to using your sacred sexual energy to both heal past
painful traumas in your body AND to connect to spirit and deeper versions of
yourself. 





To create a temple inside of your own body that merges you with the divine.  No
fluff here, no tip toeing around.  I teach you exactly how I’ve learned to use
my own sexual energy (even though it felt foreign for most of my life)  to truly
heal past wounds & traumas and to become so intricately aware of and tuned into
my body that we became allies.

Self trust, self confidence, connection to spirit and sustained pleasure is the
texture of this phase of your SELM journey.


I GUIDE YOU IN DETAIL, THROUGH A WAY OF RELATING, LEADING YOURSELF AND LEADING
OTHERS THAT I HAVE CREATED CALLED THE INTIMACY CODES. 


THIS IS NERVOUS SYSTEM WORK, POLYVAGAL WORK, SUBTLE ENERGY WORK AND MORE ALL
FUSED TOGETHER TO HELP YOU NATURALLY BECOME THE MOST GROUNDED, POWERFUL AND
SAFEST WOMAN IN THE ROOM. THIS MAKES YOU EQUIPPED TO NOT ONLY
HANDLE CONFRONTATION AND CHALLENGE WITH EASE, BUT TO ALSO CREATE IMMACULATE
SAFETY & INTIMACY IN ANY SITUATION.


IN YOUR SELM JOURNEY YOU ALSO ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN AN IN
PERSON, OVERNIGHT MEDICINE CEREMONY WITH YOUR SELM COHORT SISTERS. THIS IS ONE
OF THE MOST PIVOTAL EXPERIENCES AND SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN OTHER
TRAININGS OUT THERE. 


YOU ARE GEARING UP FOR THIS CEREMONY THROUGHOUT YOUR SELM CURRICULUM, AND THEN
YOU COME TOGETHER WITH OTHER WOMEN TO PRACTICE IN REAL TIME, IN REAL LIFE, WITH
THE ASSISTANCE OF THE MEDICINE OF OUR PLANT ALLIES.  YOU LEARN A NEW CEREMONIAL
AND FEMININE APPROACH TO LIFE.

I’M RAY

My work focuses on bringing women back to a more natural & embodied life
experience.

We’ve been conditioned to over work, over effort, over protect and over prove
for so long… and we are now seeing the damage that has done to our lives and our
communities. 

Anxiety, self-doubt, shut down, freeze, partnership’s that feel out of balance,
lack of community, a lack of feeling safe or supported, a feeling of just
getting by, addiction, people pleasing, severe comparison, hyper independence
and feeling unfulfilled are just some of the main issues we are facing and what
so many women come to me with. 

My work holds deep roots in teaching women HOW to come back to their nature. 
HOW to learn to meet themselves, their pain and their emotions with full grace
and presence to move pain through their body and cultivate deeper states of
connection, confidence and pleasure. 

 


I GUIDE YOU TO CONNECT WITH AND EMBODY THE HEALTHY ASPECTS OF YOUR FEMININITY,
AND NURTURE AND HEAL THE SHADOW ASPECTS OF YOUR FEMININITY. 

From perfectionism & anxiety, to boundaries, self worth and self trust. Through
working with the nervous system in the most primitive way, and creating avenues
and pathways for you to find connection to your body again; we are able to
lovingly move through past traumas, expectations and fears that create distance
between us and the life we really desire.

Through doing this and connecting back to our sensuality, our embodied self and
learning & implementing tools to carry us through this life, we are able to drop
the protective guards, and surrender to the joy, connection and safety that is
here in abundance for us, always.  


THE SENSUALLY EMBODIED LIVING METHOD IS A CERTIFICATION LEVEL TRAINING THAT WILL
ALLOW YOU TO SUPPORT YOURSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS, BUT EVEN MORE SO, IT IS A
CEREMONIAL APPROACH TO LIVING IN THIS MODERN WORLD; AS AN AUTHENTIC, NATURAL
WOMAN.

 


WHEN WE ARE EMBODIED, WE ARE DEEPLY AWARE. WHEN WE ARE AWARE, WE HAVE ACCURATE
INFORMATION. WHEN WE HAVE INFORMATION, WE HAVE CHOICE. AND ULTIMATELY, WHEN WE
HAVE CHOICE… WE HAVE THE TRUEST FORM OF FREEDOM.


A LITTLE BIT ABOUT


RAY


I HAVE BEEN ON MY SPIRITUAL AND HEALING PATH FOR OVER 15 YEARS.

At 17 I was on enough anti anxiety medications for an overweight 50 year old
man. When the doctors only suggestions were to continue upping the dose or keep
changing the medication… I took my healing into my own hands. I had NO idea
where that journey was going to lead me. 

After a few years I got off of ALL of my medication naturally, healed the
massive destruction it did to my physical body and learned natural and authentic
ways to heal what was creating the anxiety and dis-ease in my body in the first
place. 

Along with deeply learning about the nervous system, familial trauma, cognitive
and somatic therapies, attachment work etc (the list goes on)  this part of my 
journey also opened me up to the more mystical, spiritual truths of life.  

I worked with mentors, healers and medicine women, I sat in many spiritual
circles and ceremonies, and I put myself in every situation that I could to
learn and strengthen my consciousness.

While I am trained in NLP, 3x’s breath work certified and certified by the
Embody Lab’s Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy… I believe my real zone of
genius and proficiency comes from my own lived experience and the many years I
have been gifted of serving women in a multitude of ways. 




I’VE WORKED WITH COUNTLESS COACHES, HEALERS AND MENTORS, AND I’VE SEEN IT ALL IN
THIS INDUSTRY. AND ONE THING THAT I GUARANTEE IN ALL OF MY CONTAINERS, IS
DIRECT, TANGIBLE AND APPLICABLE TOOLS & TEACHINGS.  NO FLUFF.  NO FAR OUT
CONCEPTS THAT CAN’T BE APPLIED TO YOUR DAILY LIFE. 


IN THE CREATION OF THE EMBODIED LIVING CO IT WAS MY MISSION TO PROVIDE WOMEN
WITH SOMETHING MORE CEREMONIAL AND INTIMATE THAN THERAPY, AND MORE TANGIBLE AND
UNDERSTANDABLE THAN MANY OF THE SPIRITUAL TEACHINGS OUT THERE. 


IT IS MY MISSION TO SERVE, LOVE AND SUPPORT WOMEN OF ALL AGES AND ALL WALKS OF
LIFE.  


THIS WORK IS MY LIFE’S WORK AND I CAN’T WAIT TO WEAVE WITH YOU AND TEACH YOU
EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT EMBODIMENT, CEREMONIAL LIVING AND CREATING A SAFE,
STABLE FEMININE LIFE EXPERIENCE. 

SIGN ME UP!

WE HEAL DEEP

We connect even deeper, and we do it all immersed in joy & pleasure. It gets to
be that good. Your pleasure, your happiness, is your birthright.


WORDS FROM


SELM STUDENTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


MADDY M.

“SELM is the most important and beautiful self improvement work. Life-changing
and grounding. Before SELM I was in a place of confusion, numbness, and not
knowing my worth. Now, half way through, I’m in a place of finding clarity,
regaining strong and deep feelings, and knowing my worth more than ever.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


VANDITA A.

“Before SELM I was so lost but had convinced myself I was doing the “work” while
actually just numbing constantly and disappearing from my life. The most
impactful times were the hardest: physical and emotional abuse, sex trauma,
feeling unworthy & not enough, jealousy and insecurity, and confusion over who I
am and my path. But the absolute best thing that happened was the day we
connected to my inner child. The little one who I’d abandoned so many years ago
for being “bad.” When you encouraged me to love her instead of trying to fix
her, that changed the whole game for me. The amount of self love, self
nurturing, and self compassion I have now during the hardest moments (like
sitting down with your sister/friend/coach and laying it all out there in it’s
messy sticky realness) has been such a fucking life changer. The intimacy codes
are life changing and help people connect to the capital M Me that lives inside
of me. The unconditional support & nonjudgmental container that Ray provides.
It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


STEPHANIE L.

“I would absolutely recommend SELM and one thing that I thought about is ‘wow I
wish I would’ve done this first I wish that I could have skipped all of the
other things that I’ve tried and just started with this and then built from this
foundation how beautiful will that be.’ Although I do appreciate my journey to
get here and I don’t want to take anything away from that. But dang I wish I
could have been feeling this good a long time ago.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


KATE M.

“I tend to not really “love a lot of emotions.” But learning to pay attention to
where I feel something and recognizing where they exist is interesting and
really helpful. I’m really learning how to process emotions physically & finding
ways to build back into my life, the things that make me happy.”

 
 
 


 


WHAT TO


EXPECT

 


IMAGINE A 4 MONTH EXPERIENCE, WHERE YOU ARE DEEPLY IMMERSED IN SISTERHOOD, HELD
LOVINGLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BY A MENTOR WHO HAS WALKED THE WALK HERSELF, AND
ARE GIVEN OPPORTUNITY AFTER OPPORTUNITY TO STRETCH YOURSELF INTO WHO IT IS YOU
KNOW YOU CAN AND WANT TO BE.

» Imagine feeling SO deeply connected to your body, that the overthinking, the
analyzing, the perfectionism and the anxiety literally melt away. Your body no
longer needs those protective strategies to get through life. 

» Imagine being so ceremonially connected to this earth, so much so that the
need to please others or get approval of others, becomes a distant and foreign
memory. 

» Imagine, feeling delicious, sensual and safe enough in your body (regardless
of how it looks!)  that even the way you walk… feels like making love to the
earth.  

i need this!
 

> “Every song turns you on. Every sunrise takes your breath away. Every smile,
> cracks you open more. Imagine going form numb, to completely and utterly
> enlivened. Imagine, my love, trusting yourself. Even with all the pain you’ve
> experienced, fully trusting yourself. Having a fool-proof SYSTEM to trust
> yourself. And, being so consumed with joy. Confidence, emanating from every
> cell. A life around you, you are so deeply proud of.”

 
 
 


 


THE SAFETY THAT YOU BUILD AND SUSTAIN INSIDE OF SELM IS LIFE CHANGING


IN SO MANY WAYS.

 


THE CONNECTION TO OTHER WOMEN YOU EXPERIENCE IS A LIFELONG THREAD BUILDING
SACRED AND LASTING COMMUNITY INTO YOUR LIFE. 


THE TOOLS AND EMBODIED EXPERIENCES YOU WALK AWAY WITH, LEAVE YOU FEELING SECURED
AND EQUIPPED TO HANDLE EVEN THE BIGGEST OF WAVES LIFE MAY THROUGH AT YOU.


» BY THE END OF SELM, YOU WILL BE SO BLOWN AWAY BY YOURSELF.

You will have life long sisters, you will accomplish things you never through
you could, you will be so unafraid of life and her challenges that you can drop
deeper into your body and the present moment than ever before. 

You will have cultivated a soft, trusting, ceremonial connection to this life.


» AFTER YOUR SELM IN PERSON MEDICINE CEREMONY YOU WILL HAVE A NEW APPRECIATION
FOR THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING

You will be incorporating small ceremonial rituals for peace & connection into
your daily life, and you will have a community you fit into.  A community you
are inspired by.  A sisterhood that has your back.

YOU will know exactly how to break past self-sabotaging and people pleasing
habits.

You will know exactly how to (both logically and from an embodied stance) move
energy and dense emotions out of your body


You will know how to identify the ways your past traumas are creating micro or
macro repeats of that trauma in your current reality and lovingly heal and step
ahead of those patterns


You will have a grounded anchor of how to move out of comparison and into
connection


You will know confidently how to hold safe spaces and create profound
connections with others, both in groups and 1:1 settings. 


You will effortlessly know how to utilize your sexual energy for your growth and
liberation, rather than be ashamed of it. 


You will walk through life grounded, confident and full of joy.  Embodied as the
exact woman that you wish to be.


You will feel a sustained transformation, not a fading peak experience, and you
will know how to continue guiding and coaching yourself for years to come after
graduating SELM.

MORE WORDS FROM


SELM STUDENTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


STEPHANIE SHIP

“My intuition is definitely stronger and funnily enough my social anxiety has
gone way down, which was an outcome I wasn’t expecting. I trust myself more and
my decisions, and I’m listening to my body more - so that had naturally led to
less anxiety when I’m interacting with others. I feel like I really do HAVE
MYSELF.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ALLISON H.

“Having yourself means not being afraid of the depth of the unknown. Ray
addresses misconceptions about pleasure and sensuality head-on, and naturally
that means we are facing a time of ‘ok if I;ve thought this forever or I was
conditioned this way up until now, now what?’ New identity is scary, but we
cannot learn and become without experiencing, witnessing, deep visioning and
self care. A snippet I wrote down from Ray is “a little bit of sttention with a
little bit of intention goes a long way.” I feel like I;m on the cusp of this
program truly redefining what I know are my rights as a woman - untangling
societal expectations and trying to undo shame.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BREEANNA L.

“Your light in this earth is pure gold. I’m so grateful for you shining so
bright. This came through as I fell asleep last night. About you: You are
teaching us how safe it gets to be to show up on earth as an embodied goddess.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


STEPHANIE L.

“Ray is powerful, organized, a natural leader and fiercely kind. Before this
work I didn’t feel comfortable with my own truth. I always felt I needed to
please other over myself. It was built in inner dialogue…that I didn’t have the
right to choose me. Fast forward to now, it has been such a huge shift in the
way I speak to myself and how I manage that shadow. The spirit of this group is
so powerful. Having a pack of wild women who share your truth, and who you get
to share their experience with…is something I will cherish for the rest of my
life. I saw myself in these women and they saw me too. Such a sisterhood. Ray is
a vibrant rainbow of energy!”

i want this too!

SELM

The Sensually Embodied Living Method


 


THE


EXPERIENCE

 


SELM IS A 4-MONTH INTIMATE AND COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING FOR WOMEN. 


YOU’LL BE IN AN INTIMATE COHORT WITH NO MORE THAN 10 WOMEN, AND YOU WILL HAVE
BOTH A FULLY TESTED AND PROVEN CURRICULUM AS WELL AS WEEKLY LIVE TRAINING
SESSIONS.  


THESE TRAINING SESSIONS SUPPORT YOU IN ANY QUESTIONS AROUND THE CURRICULUM,
SUPPORT WITH WHATEVER IS BEING ACTIVATED IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE AT THAT TIME AND
LIVE, ON THE SPOT EMBODIMENT PRACTICES THAT YOU CAN AND WILL IMPLEMENT INTO YOUR
DAILY LIFE.


PHASE 1


UNDERSTANDING YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND AND THE HUMAN DILEMMA



You will be deeply guided to create a wildly exciting vision for your life that
we will walk with throughout your SELM journey. You’ll also learn about all of
your unconscious protective strategies, things that hold you back, how your
unique nervous system opens to connection and how it defaults to protection. You
will connect with YOUR personal guides (even if you never have before) and
you’ll start to build your own spiritual daily practice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


PHASE 2


RECONNECTING TO YOUR BODY



You will be SO deeply immersed into new and ancient ways of connecting to your
body.  You will learn how to place your emotions on the energetic scale to
clearly see HOW to move past certain emotions, without bypassing others or
getting stuck. 

You will learn how to allow your body to speak to you BEFORE it resorts to
getting sick, shutting down or disassociating to get through. (If these are
experiences you already deal with, not to worry! SELM teaches you how to
navigate all of this with gentleness and sustainability) 

You’ll learn how to start the thaw. If you’ve been in a season or a lifetime of
bracing, anticipating and feeling on guard… you’ll learn how to safely and
sustainably start to open back up to life. (No matter what your history looks
like)

And, you will learn how to not be overwhelmed by your feelings, but to utilize
them for your freedom.  You will become the most embodied, and joy filled woman
in the room ;)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


PHASE 3


SEX MAGIC



Yes.  Sex. Magic.  You will learn to finally strip way any shame or fear around
your sexuality, and instead invite it into your life as the healing & creative
energy that it is. 

You will understand how to cultivate your erotic energy, even if its been turned
off for some time, and use it to both move pain out of your body AND connect you
to spirit, to your highest self, to cultivate a deep sense of connectedness and
devotion to life and to manifest the feelings and experiences in life you desire
most. 

Sex is not just an act, it is a pathway to creation.  In SELM you learn how to
use it as such. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


PHASE 4


THE INTIMACY CODES



Become the most embodied, grounded and safest woman in the room.  Whether at
work, in the bedroom or amongst your community… you’ll learn how to create safe
spaces, powerful experiences, how to read body language queues deeper than you
ever have before, how to use YOUR body language and energy to shift the dynamic
of an experience and create deeper intimacy for everyone involved.  

The intimacy codes are literally your connection point to something so much
bigger than you, that creates impact and connectivity deeper than you could
imagine.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


PHASE 5


THE CEREMONY



You will be invited to participate in one of the most sacred, intimate and
liberating ceremonies of your life. 

Held with the most incredible intention and safety, a small group of your SELM
cohort sisters gather together in person, to sit in a sacred plant medicine
ceremony. 

We bring everything you’ve been working on in SELM into the healing circle, we
come together heart to heart, nervous system to nervous system, and we deepen
together the way our ancestors once did. 

The ceremony weekend is the most beautiful and pivotal experience for so many
women, and a true reference point for you to create a new ceremonial and
feminine approach to your life.

FREQUENTLY ASKED


QUESTIONS


 * HOW LONG IS SELM?
   
   
   SE.M is a 4-month initiation.
   
   


 * HOW INVOLVED IS RAY?
   
   
   This is Ray’s life’s body of work. She is leading the main sessions,
   facilitating the ceremony and in the group messaging app 4 days a week for
   continued support.
   
   She also has team members to help with ceremony, additional support and
   accountability.
   
   
   
   


 * WHAT IS THE SUPPORT LIKE?
   
   
   You have a fully flushed out curriculum, daily messaging support, weekly
   calls and an in-person weekend ceremony.
   
   


 * WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS?
   
   
   We ask that you don’t miss more than 2 of the live calls during your
   training.
   
   We ask that all participants come with an open heart and an open mind.
   
   We ask for clear communication (no ghosting, no sharing personal information
   outside of the cohort, and going straight to the source whenever there is an
   issue or contraction. Ie don’t go to someone else, if you have an issue with
   someone else. Go straight to them or one of the assistant leaders or Ray)
   
   


 * AM I READY FOR THIS?
   
   
   If you are willing to follow the above requirements, YES!
   
   So often we think we have to be “healed enough” to start our healing.
   
   Right, like we have to “make enough money” to start investing… when investing
   IS what makes us money.
   
   The same is true here. Don’t worry about not being as far along as someone or
   not having as much experience. Those are all illusions that part of your
   protective mind is using to try to keep you safe and comfortable. (You’ll
   learn all about this in phase 1)
   
   If you feel a nudge…. And if it scares you a little bit… that’s a reaaalll
   good sign mama.
   
   


 * WHO IS THIS NOT FOR?
   
   
   If you think you know it all already, or have a desire to argue / be right,
   this might not be for you.
   
   If you intend to treat this as a self-guided program only catching the
   replays, this might not be for you.
   
   


 * WHEN DOES IT START?
   
   
   We have cohorts enrolling 3 times a year on average. Since we keep these
   groups small and intimate they do fill up quickly.
   
   Your best option is to fill out the application and then when a new cohort is
   opening, you’ll get the first chance to reserve your spot!
   
   


 * ARE THERE PAYMENT PLANS?
   
   
   For sure! Once you fill out your application, you’ll see all the info about
   pricing, payment plans, schedule, ceremony costs and info and more!
   
   
   
   

okay, i'm ready!
