What is somatic coaching?

The word somatics comes from the Greek root soma, which means “the living body in its wholeness.” Somatic coaching is a way to observe people holistically. It allows one to take into account the whole person – mind, body, and soul. It is a process in which one adopts new practices to be able to create a new embodiment. It is a unique coaching style that brings the body forward as an advocate in creating a place for change and transformation.

Self and body are indistinguishable, so if you affect the body, you affect the self. Somatic coaching teaches you to become a keen observer of how you think, the stories and narratives that run through your head, your mood and emotion, and the sensations that are happening in your body, your self.

Through somatic coaching, I work to reshape or rebuild your body by reorganizing the old shape through conversation, bodily practices and, when possible, bodywork. This transforms any old patterns, and in doing this, you begin to reshape your body so that you’re able to find your voice and fully step into your purpose.
