What is a feminine embodiment coach?

A Certified Feminine Embodiment Coach helps you reconnect with your body, intuition, and inner wisdom through practices that honor your unique energy, cycles, and emotions.

 

This coaching blends movement, mindfulness, and somatic awareness to help you release tension, shame, or self-doubt, and step into your power, confidence, and authenticity. It’s about feeling fully alive in your body, making aligned choices, and expressing yourself with presence, joy, and clarity in all areas of life.

We guide you toward the real depth you've been craving. ​Specifically, I ffocus on helping clients smash goals- gain clarity, move past limiting beliefs and barriers, and find a path to live in your full power and potential.

Your body is a powerful resource with infinite, divine wisdom.

What is a somatic nutritionist?

A somatic dietitian integrates evidence-based nutrition therapy with your own body awareness, wisdom, and intuition to help you heal your relationships with food, body, and movement. 

Rather than focusing only on what you eat, this approach explores how you eat, why you eat, and how your body feels in the process. It acknowledges that food, emotions, and the body are deeply interconnected—and that sustainable change happens when we learn to listen to and trust our body’s cues.

As a mental health nutrition specialist, we also focus on helping you understand how mindset, embodiment, food, supplements, and self-care impact the brain and your mental wellness.

Hi, there! I'm Joanna Pustilnik MS RDN CDCES CIEC

I’m Joanna, a multi-passionate feminine embodiment coach, dietitian, and intuitive eating counselor.

 

I love helping clients smash through value-aligned goals while cultivating joy, confidence, and freedom with food and their bodies.

 

I’m a hard-core goal pursuer myself, and I bring that same energy to supporting clients as they uncover what truly lights them up, release shame or self-doubt, and step fully into their power, clarity, and self-trust. I thrive on all things that promote body confidence, intuitive nourishment, and a life filled with pleasure, presence, and possibility.
