MOTIVA METHOD®: A sustainable somatic foundation for everyday life.

Motiva Method® offers an accessible place to begin—and a practice to return to. Through somatic coaching, movement and creative exploration, Motiva invites you to begin with what is present, notice what emerges and explore what feels available. Meaningful practice doesn’t have to exist apart from everyday life. A moment of awareness, movement, creativity or pause can become another place to begin. Motiva Method® uses simple, repeatable experiences in movement, creativity, reflection, and connection to help you notice what is present and discover what supports your return. You do not have to change your whole life. Begin with one thing you can practice today.

About Us Image

MOTIVA METHOD® A practice for the life you’re already living.

Motiva Method® grew from a simple question: What if meaningful practice didn’t always require carving out more time? A moment of awareness while washing dishes. Movement while music plays. Color catching your attention as you move through your day. A pause before making the first mark on a blank page. Motiva Method® invites awareness into the life already being lived. BEGIN Meet this moment as it is. NOTICE What is here? EXPLORE What feels available? RETURN What supports you now? And begin again. Consistency, not competition.

MOTIVA METHOD®: THE BLANK CANVAS

MOTIVA METHOD®: THE BLANK CANVAS Start with what is here. A blank page offers something remarkably simple: a place to begin. The Blank Canvas is a live, facilitated Motiva Method® experience using a piece of paper, something that makes a mark, and the bodymind already present. Through gentle orientation, creative exploration and reflection, we practice: BEGIN → NOTICE → EXPLORE → RETURN No art experience is necessary. There is no finished product to create. 60 minutes · Live online · Small group

ABOUT THE COACH
I’m Jaime Keating, a Somatic Body-Oriented Coach and founder of Motiva Method®. My background spans movement, dance, yoga, fitness, creative practice, education and coaching. Today, those experiences inform the spaces I create for individual and collective exploration through the bodymind. I believe meaningful practice can be accessible, deeply human and integrated into everyday life.

MOTIVA METHOD®: ART IN MOTION

Art entered my own somatic practice during a time when injury changed my relationship with movement. Unable to move and dance in the ways I was accustomed to, I began listening to music and putting what I noticed onto paper—first through lines, then color and shading, watercolor pencils and eventually paint. There wasn’t a finished product I was trying to create. The practice became another way to notice, explore and stay curious about what was present. That exploration became part of the foundation from which Motiva Method® grew.
