Somatic Coaching

Embodiment practices and personalized support to help you move towards your desires, and live in deeper alignment with your values.

In-person and online. For in-person clients, the somatic coaching process relies heavily on somatic bodywork.

Somatics allows us to shift deeply embodied habits and patterns that are no longer serving us. Using the body as a site of practice, we can re-build capacities for trust, connection, embodied boundaries, etc- to live more fully aligned with our desires, dreams, and values. 

We will work together with your body’s wisdom to:

  • Become more attuned to your sensations, desires, and inherent resilience.

  • Become aware of the current embodied patterns that keep you from your desires and goals (old shape)

  • Build the new embodied skills you need to move toward your desires and goals (new shape)

Along the way, we will:

  • Re-build an internal sense of safety, boundaries, and trust

  • Grow capacity for mutual connection

  • Address the specific impacts of trauma and social conditioning that keep you from your longings

  • Support you to unlearn and unwind embodied patterns that do not align with your values

How is somatic coaching different from somatic therapy?

  • This is transformational coaching, not therapy. We will work primarily through movement, bodywork, and somatic practices to help you process, integrate, and move toward your goals and desires.

  • We begin with a conversation about your specific goals for transformation, and we focus our session work on these goals.

  • It might feel more edgy, as I take a more active role in moving you toward your goals and beyond your habitual and protective patterns.

  • We focus on whats happening in your life/body now, not on the past.

  • We focus attention on the social conditions that we are swimming in, to unlearn cycles of oppression and repression for the sake of collective change.

  • In coaching work we won't focus on trauma, but we won't shy away from it either. We will address the specific impacts of trauma that keep you from your longings, as necessary.

Who would benefit from coaching?

  • Folks committed to social change who want their actions to match up to their values and beliefs

  • Those who want to explore gender, unlearn gendered social conditioning, or need support moving toward your desires and longings

  • Anyone exploring longing, calling, and creativity - aligning with the work you feel called to do in the world

  • Those who want to build the capacity to hold the complexities of living in these times

  • Anyone navigating a life-change or threshold

  • Embodying leadership and increased capacity for holding change, accessing your power, and working across difference.


What’s not a good fit?

  • You want to work with generalized anxiety or depression

  • Your main goal is to feel more connected to your body, but you are not sure what you want from there
