Carolyn J. Braddock is an educator, Tai Ji instructor, consultant, minister and author of Body Voices: Using the Power of Breath, Sound and Movement to Heal and Create New Boundaries.
The Braddock Body Process is a body-centered approach based on the ancient art of Tai Ji and Qi Gong movement and philosophy. Individuals, and groups learn “tools” to identify the many “body voices” which make up the distinctive patterns in the way each person breathes, moves and makes sound. Listening to these varied body voices helps to facilitate personal growth by integrating body, mind, and spirit. Such integration directly enhances ways in which individuals, groups and businesses clarify communication, accomplish goals, increase productivity, balance stress and resolve conflicts.
Carolyn’s purpose is “being with people in their healing on a deeper level, using breath, sound, and movement to incorporate the emotional, physical, and spiritual body.”
She invites individuals to enter deeply into the mystery and wisdom of the mind/body/spirit connection. Creative arts exercises, musical expression and body dialogue are an essential part of the work.
Her work focuses on emotional, physical, and spiritual trauma, and life‘s central concerns: Who am I and where am I going? She gives people specific tools to cope with career transitions, illness, loss, accidents, addictions, body image, sexuality, relationships and more. She works extensively with those who are physically challenged as a result of body trauma, such as accidents, surgeries or life-threatening illness.
Carolyn offers workshops, retreats, intensives, and consultations with individuals, groups, families and businesses. She is joined by a “team” of professionals at her center in Ojai, California. She consults and presents her workshops nationally and internationally.
