The Embody Lab · 2027 Cohort — Applications Now Open

Why This Exists
You did not get into this work to hustle. You got into it because you felt something — a calling, a depth of care, a conviction that healing and growth are possible, and that you could be part of making that real for other people.
And somewhere along the way, the business of doing that work started to cost you more than it should.
Not because you are doing it wrong. Because nobody ever gave you a model that was built for someone like you.
Most business education was designed for a different kind of person, in a different kind of economy, operating from a very different relationship with their body and their nervous system. It teaches you to scale without asking whether your system can hold the growth. To be visible without addressing the wounds that visibility surfaces. To lead without ever looking at what leadership costs you at a cellular level. To sell without ever examining the shame that lives underneath the pitch.
The result is a particular kind of burnout that is very common among healers and coaches and practitioners who built real things and then found themselves unable to sustain what they created.
The Embodied MBA exists because that has to change.
This is a business accelerator built on a different premise entirely:
This is where strategy meets the body. Where business education finally catches up with what we know about human beings. Where you learn to build something real — and keep it.
The Core Thesis
Traditional programs teach you how to scale, how to be visible, how to build offers, how to lead teams, and how to grow revenue.
What they leave out:
The Embodied MBA teaches both sides of the equation. Because a strategy your nervous system cannot hold will not survive contact with reality. Because a vision your body cannot sustain will not outlast your next dysregulation. Because the business you are trying to build deserves a foundation as solid as your intentions.
What Makes This Different
While other programs separate tactics from transformation, the Embodied MBA integrates both at every step. You will learn to grow your business while simultaneously expanding your nervous system’s capacity to hold that growth. The result is not just a better business plan — it is a more sustainable you.
Through hot seat coaching, somatic supervision, and intimate peer pods, you will receive guidance that is tailored to your values, your capacity, and your actual business — not a generic playbook designed for someone else’s reality.
Every faculty member has scaled a seven-figure practice or eight-figure company in the healing and education space. This is mentorship from people who have built what you are trying to build — ethically, sustainably, and with their nervous systems intact.
Growth that overwhelms your system does not stick. Every phase of the Embodied MBA is designed to expand your capacity alongside your business — so you can hold more clients, more revenue, and more visibility without paying for it with your health.
The Identity Shift
The Embodied MBA isn't a tactical upgrade — it's an identity expansion. Here's what shifts.
What You Will Build
By the end of six months, you will have:
Not a template. A real plan, built around your mission, your capacity, and the specific impact you are here to make.
Courses, group programs, retreats, certifications — designed and tested so that they sell without requiring you to overextend.
The Embodied MBA does not just teach you to build bigger. It helps you become someone who can sustain what you build — relationally, physiologically, and psychologically.
Lead generation, content strategy, email marketing, sales sequences — built to support your life, not consume it.
By the closing retreat, you will have a tested, refined, and ready-to-launch program. Not a concept. A real thing in the world.
A curated cohort of peers and a faculty network that does not disappear when the program ends.
Phase 1
Before we build, we clarify. We work on your blocks, patterns, and visibility shadow work.
Phases 2 & 3
Design scalable offers, lead gen funnels, email marketing, and sell from integrity.
Phase 4
Complete final project presentations, launch preparations, and celebrate integration.
The Curriculum
The Embodied MBA is structured as a full-arc accelerator — not a series of disconnected modules, but a coherent progression from vision to launch, from strategy to embodiment, from isolation to community.
Every module operates across three simultaneous layers:
Before we build, we clarify.
You cannot scale something that is not yet clear. This phase is about getting honest — about your vision, your blocks, your nervous system patterns, and the future self you are building toward.
Before we sell, we position.
This phase builds the strategic and creative foundations: who you are for, what you are offering, and how you communicate it in a way that resonates and converts.
Before we scale, we build.
This is the execution phase — where strategy becomes reality. You will build, test, and refine your systems, your sales process, and your launch mechanics in real time, with faculty guidance at every step.
Before we celebrate, we integrate.
The final phase is about consolidation — refining what you have built, completing your final project, and preparing not just to launch but to sustain what comes next.
Pre-Recorded Foundations (Available from Day 1):
How It Works
Every session is live, recorded, and uploaded to your private member portal within 48 hours. Peer Mastermind Pods are assigned at the start of the program so you have a curated accountability structure between calls.
Somatic capacity building. Your future self. Goals and blocks. Creating an impact-focused business plan with alignment. This is where the cohort comes alive.
Alternating between Business Growth Labs (structured curriculum), Hot Seat Coaching with Dr. Scott Lyons, Guest Faculty Trainings, and Supervision and Case Consults.
Featuring: Dr. Scott Lyons · Dr. Bessel van der Kolk · Licia. A full immersive weekend where the depth of the program becomes embodied — literally. Community, practice, and transformation in real space with real people.
Hot seat coaching and final project support as you prepare for the integration retreat and the next chapter.
Led by Dr. Scott Lyons and Niyc Pidgeon. Final project presentations, community celebration, integration practices, and the beginning of what comes next.
The Elite tier is for leaders who are ready to move faster, go deeper, and be held at the highest level of accountability and support the program offers.

INVESTMENT
The Embodied MBA offers two distinct participation tiers tailored to your business scale and desired level of proximity. Whether you require core curriculum immersion or ultra-exclusive, 1:1 mentorship and in-person luxury retreats with our master faculty, your journey begins with the same foundational step.
Our advisory team will deep-dive into both custom pathways during your alignment call to ensure you select the perfect container for your expansion.
*Two participation tiers are available (Core & Elite VIP). Specific retreat options, 1:1 proximity levels, and custom pathways will be reviewed and finalized on your discovery call.
Space is intentionally limited to maintain intimacy. Applying takes 4 minutes and does not obligate you to purchase.
From the Community
I went from working 60 client hours a week to leading my first group program — which sold out in three weeks. For the first time, I feel like I have a sustainable business model and the nervous system to hold it.
Scott doesn’t just teach business — he embodies it. I finally learned how to price ethically, scale with integrity, and trust my leadership without burning out. My income has doubled, but more importantly, my impact has too.
Before joining, I was overwhelmed by social media, unsure how to scale, and stuck trading time for money. Six months later, I launched my first online program, built a waitlist for my retreat, and took my first real vacation in years.
The mastermind gave me clarity, structure, and community I didn’t know I needed. My business is now aligned with my values, my nervous system feels more regulated, and I finally feel like the leader I’ve been working toward becoming.
The combination of business strategy, supervision, and embodied leadership is unlike anything else out there. Nothing compares to this level of depth, integrity, and transformation.
Ideal Client
If you are not sure, apply anyway. We will tell you honestly whether the timing is right.
It is a six-month, application-based business and leadership accelerator — the first of its kind to fully integrate business strategy with nervous system science, somatic practice, and trauma-informed leadership. It is not a course. It is not a coaching program. It is a full-arc mentorship experience designed to help you build a sustainable, values-aligned business from the inside out.
Therapists, coaches, somatic practitioners, wellness educators, facilitators, organizational leaders, and mission-driven founders with established practices who are ready to scale — with integrity, with sustainability, and with the support of faculty and peers who actually understand their world.
The Embodied MBA is designed for practitioners who already have an established practice or business and are ready for the next level. If you are in the earliest stages of building, this may not be the right fit yet — and we will tell you that honestly on your discovery call.
No. Every session is recorded and uploaded to your private member portal within 48 hours. The live retreats can also be attended virtually. We do encourage live participation where possible — the community and real-time coaching is a significant part of what makes this program work — but we have designed it to be accessible across time zones and life circumstances.
Both tiers include the full Embodied MBA experience: all live calls, both retreats, all Growth Labs, guest faculty, and peer pod access. The Elite VIP tier adds private 1:1 mentorship sessions, a VIP Day in Los Angeles with Niyc and Sarah, and an exclusive weekend retreat and dinner with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk and Dr. Scott Lyons. It is designed for those who want the deepest, most personalized experience the program offers.
That is a fair and important question. Most masterminds are built around marketing, not mentorship. The Embodied MBA is different in three specific ways:
The weekly live calls run 90 minutes. Beyond that, you will spend time applying what you learn — building your offer, refining your messaging, testing your systems. Most participants find that the time they spend in the program replaces time they were previously spending going in circles alone.
Yes. Participants who complete the program requirements will receive a certificate of completion from The Embody Lab.
Click the Apply Now button and complete a short application. If your application is a strong fit, you will be invited to a discovery call where we can answer your specific questions, explore the right tier for you, and confirm your place in the 2027 cohort.
Your next level is already here.
The Embodied MBA is an application-based program. We keep cohorts intentionally small — not as a marketing tactic, but because real mentorship requires real relationships. Every person in this room will know your name, your work, and your vision. If you are ready to build something that lasts — a business that reflects your values, a leadership style that does not cost you your health, and an income that supports the life you are actually trying to live — we would like to meet you.
Space is intentionally limited to maintain intimacy. Applying takes 4 minutes and does not obligate you to purchase.
Both tiers use the same application. 2027 Cohort begins February 2027.
