Perhaps you feel how I used to… Frustrated that despite all the “inner work” you’ve done, or trainings you’ve completed, or the various coaches you’ve consulted, you’re still suffering under persistent patterns that hold you back from truly thriving in your life. You may strive for a sense of freedom, expansiveness, and abundance, and yet find yourself continually caught in the past and “old ways” of being. Maybe you’ve resigned yourself to thinking that change is unattainable, that you’re somehow inherently flawed… I did.

But, what if there’s a path to genuinely break free from these blocks? Imagine a holistic, therapeutic approach that weaves together your body, emotions, mind, and spirit. A method that supports you in a compassionate, organic way. This isn’t about being told what to do or who to be; it’s about creating a space where the innate wisdom of your Soma can surface and lead the way. It’s about harnessing this wisdom to guide your journey towards healing, integration, and transformation. Facilitating more “aliveness,” enabling you to embrace your unique self, chase down those lofty goals, and thrive.

This is the heart of Transformative Somatic Coaching.

Somatic coaching goes beyond traditional analytical or “talk” methods of coaching. Instead, it taps into the body’s inherent wisdom to release trapped emotions, sensations and stress. It’s based on the awareness that our physical selves, through the nervous system, are active storage centres of life’s experiences, including trauma. These experiences, often unconscious, manifest in our bodies as physical tension, embedded behaviours, and disempowering beliefs. Such manifestations leave us feeling ‘stuck’ in certain areas of our lives, with us repeating the same patterns despite our best efforts to move beyond them.

Transformative Somatic Coaching offers a conscious, safe space for you to explore and experience the bodily sensations, emotions, thoughts and beliefs that are hindering your life. This compassionate journey of inner inquiry allows sensations to unfold naturally, blocks to be gently released, and essential integration to occur. The process leads to greater ‘wholeness’, fostering a powerful synergy between your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual selves.

As your coach, I’m dedicated to guiding and supporting you on this transformative journey. We’ll use body-mind techniques like sensory awareness and emotional mapping, which empower your body’s insights, fostering the transformation and integration needed for you to lead a more authentic and vibrant life.

So, are you ready to experience the power of somatic coaching for yourself?

What I learned through somatic coaching, taught me to consciously inhabit my body, allowing me to compassionately explore and transform the patterns holding me back. This process uncovered wounds that could be safely expressed along with deep needs, leading to newfound understanding, integration, and healing.

For the first time, I was able to overcome crippling beliefs around my self-worth, like “I’m not enough.” As I discovered safety within, I could release my perfectionism and need to control. I learned tools to constructively process my shame and found strength in techniques that helped me assert myself and my needs. Through the healing and integration somatic coaching gave me, I could embrace my potential, achieving a life I’d once considered out-of-reach due to my limiting beliefs and behaviours.

Somatic caoching didn’t just change my life; it allowed me to authentically pursue my dreams. This is what it can offer you too.

Somatic Coaching is a versatile and gentle coaching method suitable for anyone seeking growth and transformation. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, setting goals, or looking to supplement traditional talk therapy, this approach can be highly beneficial. Somatic coaching is especially useful for:

• Anyone wishing to become “unstuck” – in a certain area of their life to transform disempowering habits, thoughts, or behaviours
• People going through life changes – needing support and/or wishing to adjust more seamlessly to significant events like moving, career shifts, or personal milestones.
• Goal driven and ambitious people – seeking to change patterns and habits that hinder achieving their personal and/or professional goals.
• Cognitively “heavy” individuals – wanting more sensing and embodiment to help them connect with, and/or express, their emotions.
• Those with a Trauma background – to help them experience sensation, integrate parts and heal blocks in a safe container without reliving past events

Somatic Coaching offers a powerful tool for embracing the present moment with loving compassion, enabling what’s stored in the Soma to reveal itself. Echoing Bessel Van der Kolk’s words, “The body keeps the score,” it is through our body’s language of sensation and expression that we unlock profound transformation and healing, leading to a more authentic and integrated life.

So, are you ready for a journey from inner blockages to wholeness and authentic living?

I offer a coaching package of 5 or 10 coaching sessions. The sessions run for 45-minutes and take place online via zoom. At the end of your coaching package, we reassess, and you get to decide if you wish to continue with a new round of sessions, or not. Some clients come to work with me on a very specific topic and are able to reach their goal within one round of sessions, whilst other clients work with me for years, bringing new material into the sessions as they continue to evolve, and we create new goals together for their healing and transformation. 

I recommend a session frequency of every 2-3 weeks. This gives you enough time to integrate what transpired in the last session, as well as practise any of the tools and exercises that came out of the session. But it’s not too long a time for you to lose motivation. 

I’m a certified Somatic Coach as well as a senior yoga teacher and breathwork facilitator. The techniques I use are a combination of somatic coaching tools such as focusing, sensing, pendulating, titration, expression, gesturing, vocalisation, body mapping, tension release, as well as tools from yoga and mindfulness, such as compassionate presence, loving inquiry, breathwork, polyvagal techniques, and body movement. I’m also trained in Attachment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Holistic Voice Therapy. When the session and your unfolding requires it, I may draw upon these tools too, to support you. 

Before beginning with a new client, I always offer a free 30-minute discovery call, so that we can get to know each other, discuss your needs and feel if we are suited to working together. This session is non-committal, you may book it and meet with me without any obligation to continue.

Join me for a transformative journey, where together, we’ll identify your needs, establish clear goals and unlock your pathway of aliveness, towards your truest self and the life you’re meant to live. Align and thrive today!
