My story
Hi, I'm Cally
My coaching journey began in 2019 when I was helping women with nutrition. This is when I first realized that weight loss and gut health coaching was much deeper than nutrition alone. My clients knew what to do, but they weren’t making the necessary changes due to emotional blocks and limiting beliefs. I found myself life coaching more than nutrition coaching.
A couple months later in 2020, I was working in a nursing home as a dietitian, and after a few months, was primarily working from home. I started experiencing terrible gut issues. I woke up every single day looking 6 months pregnant. Sometimes, I’d go to bed bloated, but waking up like that?! I started dieting like crazy to try to figure it out. I eliminated everything: meat, dairy, gluten, sugar, grains, and anything processed. Nothing about my symptoms changed even slightly. Frustrated, I began fasting. I would fast with nothing but water and tea, maybe a few gluten free crackers. Still, bloated, constipated and no appetite. I was so embarrassed. As a dietitian, I should NOT be experiencing gut issues like this! I know what to do nutritionally, why was this happening to me?!
Finally, I started keeping a food and symptom journal. After a few months, I wrote, “I’ve tried everything, nothing’s changed. I think it’s stress.” DING DING DING. *eyeroll* it’s so obvious to me now, I can’t help but laugh.
After that, I quit my soul-sucking nursing home job and went to work at a brewery – something far, far different from the career I spent years working towards. My gut issues immediately alleviated when I quit. The brewery was fine until it wasn’t, and I was craving MORE. I knew I was put on this planet to make change and genuinely help others. Working at a brewery was not it. I saved up some money and paid for my first ever coaching program so that I could finally start my business the right way.
In 2022, I relaunched my business to focus on gut health with a holistic approach – mindfulness being a core pillar of the coaching I did. After experiencing the pain and frustration I had with my issues, my root cause approach was different from any other coaches I saw talking about gut health. My clients who were diligent with the mindfulness aspect had thriving health by the end of my program, but I found that many of my clients seriously struggled with doing the work in this area. Oh, so there’s an even DEEPER layer to this root cause approach, huh? I felt like a mindset coach – not a nutrition coach – trying to get my clients to work through their limiting beliefs and resistance to doing the self-care work.
Life is a series of softenings and openings to who we are on the deepest levels. With my north node, and four other planets in Sagittarius, I am a truth seeker. I want to get to the core and figure out what’s real and true. So how my coaching journey has evolved is a direct reflection of how I have evolved in my life.
As I coached clients and simultaneously expanded on my spiritual journey, I saw that, at the root, the reasons my clients were struggling to implement changes and prioritize the self care piece was because they were disconnected from their bodies. They were living and operating solely from their heads, which causes anxiety and depression. Anxiety keeps you from making any holistic health changes because you are literally not in your body, and when that happens, you can’t hear its guidance and wisdom. The communication system we have with our bodies is sacred, and without it we will have mental, physical, emotional and spiritual illness.
I again felt like there was so much more that I needed to be doing. Nutrition & mindset coaching felt so surface level to me. We need to get to the soul! We need to activate your magic! We need you to live your deepest, most authentic truth! This is when I realized I’m here for the women who are called to something massive, who are different, who always had this crazy idea that they could change the world. Maybe you used to think (or still do) “what’s wrong with me?”
Nothing, babe, you’re magical, and you’re in the right place.
As women, we’ve been misled to ignore our bodies and suppress our feminine essence. The body holds the key to your magnitude, and when you let go of forced control and let your intuition guide you is when your reality shifts and you activate your feminine magic, your confidence, your sensuality and your divine wisdom. The embodiment coaching I do is for the woman on her journey to self-mastery as an embodied leader. You’re someone who goes first – a rule breaker, way paver, change maker – inspiring others to step into their personal sovereignty.
I created Embodied Soul to serve heart-centered leaders who are called to make a widespread impact.

…You’ve come to the right place. You will achieve this and MORE as you realign deeply with your soul and honor your body as the sacred one who holds the key.
The feminine is rising. She is here to lead and inspire. Whether you know you are here for powerful influence, or you’re here to show up for yourself, first, there is something here for you. You’ve found the community who will activate and expand you in ways that propel you forward in life, health, and leadership harmoniously and fiercely.
