What Is Somatic Coaching?

Somatic coaching is a holistic approach to personal and professional development that integrates the body, mind, and spirit. It focuses on accessing the body’s wisdom and intelligence to facilitate growth, transformation, and healing.

As a somatic coach, I guide you in turning your attention inwards to become aware of, and to safely explore, the sensations and emotions you’re experiencing. By allowing whatever is present to surface, you are getting in touch with what’s really going on for you here and now – moving beyond the “stories” that you tell yourself. You are better able to see the thoughts and behaviour patterns that may be keeping you stuck and preventing you from moving forward in the way you want. It is by allowing our emotions to surface that we can begin to move through them. Somatic coaching unveils the wisdom of the body.

Somatic Coaching can help you to:

— Access a more expansive realm of self-awareness
— Identify what you really want and create your intention accordingly
— Let go of patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you
— Embody the changes you seek

The somatic coaching model I follow is informed and supported by the Enneagram of Personality Type System, which provides a framework for understanding our relationships and way of being in the world.  I draw on this powerful tool to explore the motivations beneath your behaviour patterns, and to focus on specific practices that move you in the direction of growth and transformation. Being guided by your own body’s wisdom and deep inner knowing, I help you gain insight into your internal landscape and embrace self-acceptance with kindness and compassion.

Who Is Somatic Coaching For?

Somatic coaching supports those who want to explore at a deeper level of awareness, beyond the thinking mind. Itacknowledges the importance of all aspects of your being – the emotional, the physical, the intellectual and the spiritual. As a Somatic Coach, I create a safe, trusting space for deep enquiry where you can take the time to explore what’s important and meaningful for you, along with what may be getting in your way and causing you to feel stuck.

My commitment to this deep work is inspired by my own journey; the challenges I’ve faced, and the steps I’ve taken towards living life with greater empowerment, authenticity and purpose. My diverse professional experience – from an executive career in the education sector to the performing arts – has prepared me to support clients with a wide range of backgrounds and objectives. It is a huge privilege for me to support others on their own unique journeys in bringing greater ease, freedom of choice, and fulfilment into their lives.

My aim is to meet you where you are with your hopes and concerns, to guide you towards deep awareness, and to help you come up with new possibilities for living your life in alignment with your true nature, values and unique gifts.
