What is somatic coaching?

In somatic coaching, we partner to identify what you are longing for in your life right now, what might be blocking you, and how we can support you in moving to a place of more agency. With curiosity and compassion, we use a combination of conversation and somatic practices to begin to notice and understand the long-held patterns living in your body and nervous system that may be impacting you. These patterns might be informed by family history, social location, systems of oppression, or a need for love, safety or belonging–they started for a good reason, yet they may no longer be serving you. In somatic coaching, you will learn to get more deeply in touch with yourself in order to confront stress or challenges with more choice. In doing so, you will move towards the life you truly yearn for. 

Somatic coaching might be a great fit for you if you are:

  • Going through a life transition (career, relationship, gender/sexuality/identity)

  • Sensing that something in your life needs to change but are not yet sure what

  • Wanting to become more connected to your heart or to your body

  • Yearning to live a life with more fullness and sensation

  • Seeking to deepen intimacy in your platonic or romantic relationships

  • Interested in communicating with more honesty or learning to set more intentional boundaries

  • Noticing yourself repeating the same patterns again and again, but aren't sure how to forge a new pathway
