The human body is fucking fascinating.
Let's get curious.
I'm Gillian Soder, founder of Body Labs.
I explore the fascinating science of anatomy, movement, and nervous system, making complex information accessible, practical, and relevant to how we move, teach, lead, and live our lives.
Body Labs is for curious practitioners, educators, and leaders who want to understand more about what makes us human.
Bodies are weird.
That's the point.
3 ways to get nerdy
Start here to find how to work with me.
01 | Go Deeper into the human body
There's more to anatomy than memorizing muscles.
Explore the structures, systems, and relationships that make the human body work.
From anatomy and applied physiology to dissection experiences and movement science, these courses connect what you see in the body with what's actually happening beneath the surface.
For practitioners and educators who want to understand the WHY behind what they teach, observe, and experience.
Courses • Applied Anatomy •
Dissection Labs • Body Systems
02 | Understand human experience
Because we're more than bodies moving through space.
Our nervous systems influence how we respond to stress, interact with others, learn, adapt, and navigate the world around us.
Explore nervous system education, brain-based learning, and the science of human behaviour. Discover how this knowledge applies to your work, your relationships, and the environments we create for one another.
From professional courses and mentorship to speaking engagements and organizational workshops, let's explore the human side of being humans.
Mentorship • Leadership Education • Workshops • Speaking
Not every rabbit hole needs a course.
Sometimes you just want to learn something fascinating, ask a better question, or notice something about your body that you've never thought about before.
Explore articles, anatomical curiosities, free resources, and From the Body - a collection of anatomical facts and invitations to notice the wisdom of your own anatomy.
A little science.
A little curiosity.
A whole lot of human body nerdiness.

About the human behind body labs
Hi, I'm Gillian.
I've spent a lot of time getting to know the human body. A LOT.
My background spans forensic medicine, where I spent nearly 2 decades working in forensic investigations and as a forensic autopsy technician. I have worked with thousands of human bodies, developing an understanding of human anatomy, physiology, and nervous system science that translates into everyday human experience.
I've seen the body from perspectives most people never will. And I've spend much of my career figuring out how to translate that knowledge into something people can actually understand and use.
What fascinates me most isn't just what the body is made of. It's how everything works together, how we adapt, how we respond, and how much there is still to discover.
I believe people deserve more than a list of muscles to memorize or a vague description of their symptoms, or another set of instructions to follow.
They deserve to understand the WHY.
That's what we do here.
curiosity looks good on you.
