where Embodiment meets Leadership, Flow and Creativity

Meet Gisela Rocha and the Movement for Life method



What our Students Say



“I had been addicted to my busy mind. I was living in a state of survival,  energy was constantly leaving my body. This method gave me access the expressions of the human spirit and to take the primal instinct. Learning the language of the body, mind, soul and energy is one of the greatest gifts that I have ever received. I am forever thankful!”

Carly Snedeker, 51
Yoga Teacher, Mindfulness Instructor, Mother,

"The heart-centered Leader program is helping me finding alignment between the intellectual journey, the activism or commitment to social justice or decolonization as well as  my spirituality.

Movement helps me articulate these three aspects and create spaces of solidarity,  justice and collective healing."

Amira Benali, 39
Professor and Activist, Tunisia/Denmark

“I close my eyes and remember how stiff and closed my body was. Now I stand in Life, I trust, I am able to adapt and transform so quickly, I am a healing coach myself.

If I wouldn’t have joined this program, it would have taken many years to even heal the tip of the iceberg. Thank you for creating miracles!”

Maria Jesus Campos, 44
Health and Nutrition Coach, Chile/Switzerland

“This program goes far beyond movement. It is a school for life, a way of life, a lifestyle. It combines the physical and energetic realm and spirituality is a vital part of it. Personally, I gained much more clarity and confidence. I am thrilled to apply Gisela’s method in my therapy sessions as well as for my own continued wellbeing.”
