Embodied Essence
Hi, I'm Brittany Hachey, Founder of Embodied Essence. I am a Holistic Relation Coach and Yoga Teac
I met you today, 4 years ago.
If you know us you know our story.
2 souls with plans to be in the woods, but a weekend of intense rainfall altered both our plans
As fate would have it, we both found ourselves sitting across a table from each other at a speed dating event hosting by (I’m still not convinced she wasn’t scheming behind the scenes to have us there and match us together for the first “date”
We have great love
And also intense pasts, triggers and patterns
No love story is perfect, ours included
But, we are committed to each other, our love and our why
So we work it - the pain, the edges, the joy
The past two years have been particularly intense - building a cottage and now a house (I’ll admit my worst side comes out - hello controlling shadow)
We have travelled a lot and yet with project commitments, the little local things we love have been almost non existent and it’s getting to us.
I know this is a season and in 6 months we will be in our new home and things will open up
Love and life has seasons.
It can’t always be perfect
We do our best
Chase your dreams
Forgive
Reset
Lead with love
So not expect perfection
Love is our greatest lesson and the biggest place of growth
Allow it to shape you and bring you back to self.
Remembrance and expansion
Women are the most powerful force on this earth
And for most of us, we have forgotten, lost connect to and buried our power under layers of shame, dialogues and fear
I know this to be true because I was that women
And I also know that it is possible to reclaim what is yours, fully
How?
Embodiment
It is the way in which we use our body, our breath and our sound to explore and unwind the deepest, truest and often most vulnerable parts of ourselves
Touching, loving and bringing it all into the light
The Circle at is a monthly women’s circle where we gather to connect, practice and speak our truth in a space of love, support and understanding
Each month we dive into a theme, together
This months theme was Pleasure - a topic that can be edgy, a topic that has been misconstrued in modern society, something a that many women have disconnected themselves from to be safe or to hold onto love
Seeing the women alive from spending over an hour just for them, with their heart, their body, their pleasure
Here are some of the take aways
-She realized that she doesn’t give herself time and permission to just dance
-She realized that she hasn’t been taking the time to love her body fully
-She found an old story locked away that although she forgot about it and is in tune with her body, it was affecting her ability to truly enjoy dancing
-She felt the duality of her sexual awakening and the gremlin that still pops its head up to criticize and shame her - the journey never let ends
-She lasted through a point of shame is her childhood and reclaimed a practice of pleasure for herself
-She felt into the power of being with women and how critical it is for us to thrive
-She felt herself for the first time in years
There was laughter, tears, deep understanding and so much Love
Sisterhood has been challenged in so many ways over the past century, and to see these women together fills me with so much joy
We need this
Embodied Women’s Circles are our way back to our truth and how we heal the planet

Did I make him a king?
No
I simply saw, acknowledged and met the king that was already alive in him
In relationship there is so often a chicken and egg effect at play
And goodness knows I am just as guilty as any
And it goes something like this :
We are in a moment of conflict and rather than opening to love, we close and punish
He hurt me so I’m going to give him the cold shoulder until he loves me again
She’s being cold and distant, I’m going to withhold my love until she opens
And around and around we go
Stalemate
But what if (and let me tell you it’s not easy) we look beyond what’s in front of us, to the love and the human beside us and ask ourselves “what does love want?”
Can I open despite my frustration and hurt? How would that shift the energy. Without needing anything to change?
If these any kind of magic I have experienced. It’s this
Opening to love and watching how your partner responds
Seeing them as a king and watching how they step in and step up
Trusting first and feeling how trustable they are
In the question of who goes first, the answer is always love
Walk through the world as love
See the king in him
Lead with love
And see how the world transforms
I’ve played both sides of this, I’ve worked this edge. I’ve failed many times. I know how challenging it can be - especially when we get stuck in habit - but I can tell you it is beyond worth it and it will radically change your most intimate relationships and the world around you
Curious?
I am leading women’s embodiment circles at and - I will show you how to tap into your truth and embody the power of love, pleasure and truth within you - and intimacy workshops .ca and - to show you how to see the king and queen in each other, to share love and truth, to give with a willing and open heart - this month.
I also have openings for 2 women and a couple to jump into a personal guided container if you want to dive even deeper
I would love to see you in a workshop! ❤️
If you have any questions, please reach out!
Here for you, and love, always.
The process is simple yet incredibly powerful
It is also non-linear
It requires your full heart and your surrendered devotion
It is not always easy
I guarantee you will cry, laugh without knowing why, surrender in the most delicious way and like The fierce goddess Kali, want to rip the hearts out of all who have wronged you
But it is SO worth it
The first step is to begin u winding the disputes, the shoulds, the kinks, the shadows
The second step is to give all of this a seat at the table, personify it, get to know and understand it, find the gifts, transmute and alchemize it
Then it’s time to amplify the truth, your radiance, your heart, your True Essence
This is a journey of the heart, of devotion to loving well in this lifetime - yourself, those closest to you, and the world
The ripple effect is real
And sneakily you will find your way back to new aspects to u wind as you bask in the glow of amplification
And you will be equipped with tools to recreate the process. A new awareness to bolster your heart and your growth
Life is a wildly beautiful and sometimes painful journey, but it is so worth it
If you’re craving clarity and truth, to truly feel what’s alive for you and to bring awareness and light to it all and use it to catapult you forward in love, I would be delighted to connect with you
I am keeping things small this year as I compete some other large projects (like our hose!) and so I can give you my undivided attention
I have 2 x 1:1 packages for women starting between now and October for a 6 month container with me. For the woman who is ready to feel alive, to radiate out into the world, to lean back in surrender and trust, to reconnect to her essence.
I also have 1 x 1:2 package for a couple who wants to go all in and recommit to loving each other well. To go deep and discover more. To equip themselves with tools to move through the tough times and to amplify the exceptional moments.
All containers are a holistic approach to your full being and how you relate with the world. Embodiment and breath are the foundation and from there we explore
Reach out and let’s chat
I would love to guide and support you

She HATED it?!
Nobody wants to hear that, but I actually celebrated it and turned it into a moment of truth and expansion - for both of us.
For my student, she learnt that by locking down her emotions she was allowing them to grow larger and take more hold of her. Her resistance to the practice showed her the real practice - you ch ing, acknowledging and unkinking this energetic block in her system.
On the other side? Freedom? It doesn’t mean she can’t or won’t even feel the grief and sadness, but she can relate to it in a different way and not let it take her own entirely.
For me? It showed me I am doing exactly what I am on my path to do. By placing people in situations that allow them to touch an edge (that can be anything from grief to joy) they will feel something. And this helps to pint their needle more towards their true north.
I will always and forever stand by the idea that whether you live what I say or disagree entirely, I have done my job. Lightbulbs, thinking, questioning - it all points you more true. And that is my dream for everyone!
Stepping into space with me is a deeper cut into what is it to be human.
I am a Yoga teacher, but that means SO much more now than it ever did before - more on that soon ❤️
I encourage you to feel into your responsiveness to situations. What is it showing you, telling you, guiding you towards? Is it truth or trigger? Is it resistance? If so what’s beneath that?
Moral of the story : I’m glad she hated the class because she grew.

Step into Divine Sisterhood at this month ✨
I am so excited to collaborate with and teach at Studio Twenty Two this spring and host Divine : An Embodied women’s Circle.
Women’s circles are so powerful. A space to connect with your sisters, to express your truth and sink into your full expression.
Our class on March 29th will harness the lingering energy of the Equinox and Full moon and focus on rejuvenation and planting seeds of intention as we move into the fertile energy of spring.
Each class will consist of an embodiment practice, sharing and support and a concrete activity of some sort.
This is going to be an absolutely magical evening of love, sisterhood and exploration.
One of many to come I hope as we unwind the dialogues society and placed on us and rediscover and surrender to sisterhood and our feminine energy.

I’m taking a much needed break
There are so many micro reasons that have culminated in this decision that it’s hard to give you the “why”
Life has been full - beautiful and agonizing
I’ve been holding the duality of that and it’s been hard
My commitment to myself and to you, is that I take my own medicine, practice what I preach and do the hard things
So here we are
I have learnt and experienced so much the past two years
Things have been moving and changing fast
And I simply need time to restore myself and integrate
I need to catch up
Focus on myself and my family
Build our home
Ground
So I can come back and serve more profoundly and magically than ever before
This is an act of love
For me
My husband
My kids
The world
So, I will be offline solstice to solstice
Planting myself in the earth to feel into what is asking to bloom
I’ll see you on the other side
Meanwhile, if you need me, you can fine me at
[email protected]
Take some time for you this winter and watch what blooms

I haven’t spoken yet about the last Teacher Training Intensive with and in Sedona yet.
Life has been fast - this I a@practice in and of itself. How do I find the stillness amidst the chaos? AND how do I open to the reality of life with kids, a husband, a career, a passion, an Air BNB cottage and a house build underway?
I know, from this work and diving deep into self that my biggest shadow is control. That I hold on to tight, I have a hard time trusting and surrender is the scariest thing - if I surfer and let go of my control, my system literally pings that as unsafe and I will die.
I know this is not true, but this groove has been entrained in me for 36 years. And so my work is to open open and open again to the truth that I am safe. That I can ease off the reins and allow others to lead and be led myself.
Our shadows are not bad. They are safety mechanisms and there are gifts in each and everyone if only we can shift our perspective to see the light in the darkness.
After the intensive we travelled North to and the lesson of perspective was reinforced here.
If you just look ahead - you miss the magic of the every changing darkness and light in the canyon. Something new, a new angle, a new perspective every changing moment.
So look around my loves. Take your focus off the future for just a minute and see what is around you in this present moment.
You may be surprised to see what you find in the light and the dark and the magic and gifts that are held there for you.
But you can only find them if you have the courage to look.
The Sound of HER was designed to shift your perspective and to find the darkness in the light.

“Stop Wasting Your Magic On The Wrong F*cking Spell”
I was deep in practice, deep in emotion, deep in transmuting one reality into another when you teacher powerfully told us to “Stop Wasting Your Magic In The Wrong F*cking Spell”
And in that moment it all made sense.
This line, delivered with some much truth, power and love
I had been spending most of my 36 years here on earth casting the wrong spells
Why? Pattern, Habit, Shadows, Fear, Self Loathing, just to name a few
And I don’t want that anymore
I want to cast new spells
Beautiful, wild, impactful spells, not only for myself, but for the world
I want to show you and inspire you to notice what spells your casting, how they are showing up in your world, and how you can shift your energy to cast new spells
Some of the spells are easy
Some are more difficult
But they all involve going in - deep into the darkness and shadows
Taking radical responsibility for the spells you’ve cast and deep love and desire and reverence for the spells you are about to cast
Magic has no memory
Every moment is an opportunity it’s for new energy, new spells
So, my love, are you ready to reclaim your magic and cast the most powerful and transformative spells ever?
If you need help, I’m here to hold you
The Sound of HER experience is exactly this - an opportunity to alchemize and cast new spells. To reconnect to your magic and remember the truth of your heart, your true essence

Welcome to Sacred - your invitation to drop into your feminine, your full range, your deepest desires.
To be met, seen and held in all that you are.

An ancient ritual and rite that that has been secreted and locked away in our no Serb society
It’s fine to open the door and reignite the spirit of the feminine.
To gather in love.
Sacred is a divine offering - held one Sunday a month at .ca + online sessions for you to step into love and remember the call of your heart.

*min 10 sisters required to run SACRED*
🥰 Well, there are many stories to tell about the years, weeks and days leading up to our marriage - between us, within ourselves, and with others.
I regret nothing because if any one small thing has been different, I wouldn’t be married to this man, living this life, or surrendering this deeply into love.
Those stories will be told, in due time.
But for now, I’m loving up on my husband and staring at these stunning photos by over and over and over again 😍
Remember - Love always wins.
I adore you, my amazing husband, . Grateful everyday I get to kiss you every morning and every night.
Xx
My little (?) family 👨👩👧👦
This photo oooozes happiness and love. And I’m here for it 😍
I love love. ❤️❤️❤️
I think Sherlock is especially happy to have all his humans snuggled up together 🐶
