What is The Marie Embodied Podcast?

The Marie Embodied Podcast is a space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the wisdom of the body. Hosted by, somatic therapist and clinical herbalist, Marie Zak, this show explores embodiment through somatic practices, herbal medicine, nervous system awareness, and other healing modalities that support coming home to yourself.

Marie explores embodiment not as a concept, but as a lived experience. Through conversations, teachings, and practical insights, you will learn how to listen to your body, build capacity, and cultivate presence, resilience, and aliveness.

This podcast is for those who want to feel more grounded, resourced, and at home in themselves, and for anyone curious about somatic work, herbalism, animism, and the many modalities that support embodied healing.
