1:1 Coaching
Sessions

1:1 coaching sessions are containers  for deep, transformative work. They are private and held online.

We work with your mind and body, your parts, tendencies and patterns, what's stored and stuck beneath the surface, and develop new embodied ways of being and relating​.

The nature of things worked with spans across my clients' personal, relational and professional lives.

Group Embodiment & Movement Workshops

These are online and in-person group workshops, courses and classes, which tend to be immersive embodiment experiences. They invite you into deeper presence,  engagement with your senses your body, expression, play and movement. Insights do arise but this is very different work to the coaching and consulting work I do with individuals, couples, families, teams and groups.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

— CARL JUNG

Do any of these sound like you?

If so, you're not alone.

These are some of the experiences I support my clients with.

Many of us can find ourselves stuck in one or several of these tender places.
STRESS, ANXIETY, NERVOUS-SYSTEM
"Emotions feel too overwhelming! I find it really hard to come back to baseline or regulate."
"I don't know what I feel, need or want!"

"I mostly feel numb."

 
"I don't know how to cope with stress or anxiety. Many times I turn to food / lots of exercise / sex / alchohol / smoking / pills."
 
"Anxiety is preventing me from enjoying my life, and relationships."

I'm under pressure and stressed from life and work, I feel burned out, but it's really hard to get off the wheel."

"I don't know how to self regulate, I don't think I remember what calm and safety feel like in body. I can feel I need it,  but I don't know how."
ADHD & CHRONIC HEALTH CHALLENGES
"I don't think or function like others, a lot of the time I don't feel like I fit in."
 
"There are so many things I can't complete on time or at all unless I'm in hyper focus or find it super interesting. I find it hard to get myself motivated, focus and stay with the same task."

"I over-share with people even when I don't want to and I don't really trust them. I don't know why I do it and I don't want to feel like this anymore."

"I feel bad about myself when I compare myself to other people, their energy, productivity, things they can do and how they are. And I feel even worse when they have more responsibilities than I do."

 
"I find so many situations, social experiences, or lots of sensory input overwhelming, overstimulating. I don't know how to cope without completely dissociating, turning to things that numb me out, or turning to things that stimulate me more. I can end up exhausted and can't / don't want to do anything or see anyone."
 
"My body has limitations with energy and pain, and sometimes it calms a bit, other times it flares up. I find myself pushing too hard on a good day, and then being able to do nothing for days, and just  swinging back and forth, unable to find balance."
ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS
"I love my partner, but I am afraid to take our relationship to the next level. I feel anxious, withdraw, and I can see we both feel the impact of this. I want to be in and enjoy our relationship."
 
"When I get triggered I feel like I need to attack or get the hell out. I avoid conflict and I don't know how to handle these things in a different or better way. Sometimes I even say hurtful things that I don't mean."
 
"My partner tells me they love me, but sexually disconnects from me. I feel undesirable and frustrated."

"When my partner touches me or initiates sex I feel like I tense up, I don't mean to but something happened and I find it hard to open up like I did with them before."
SELF
"I don't know who I am."
 
"I feel disconnected from myself and my body."

"I hide away because I feel uncomfortable being seen physically, and or for who I am."

 
"I don't feel connected to my sensuality or sexuality."
"I struggle to set, communicate, and uphold a boundary."
 
"I've experienced a lot of trauma and challenges, and I want to heal and show up for myself."

"I feel like I fail at everything, like there's something wrong with me."

"I want to be and do all these amazing things, but I'm afraid and I end up sabotaging them somehow every time."
WORK, PURPOSE, LEADERSHIP
"I really want I do something that means something to me, I'm not even sure I know what it is. Even if I did, I don't feel confident to make moves."
 
"I've leveled up at work, but I can't speak up in meetings or talk with authority and assertiveness, and all the ways someone in my position is supposed to, to be respected."
"I struggle to set boundaries with my boss and the team I'm responsible for, I freeze and go into people-pleasing. It feels awful!"
FAMILY / FRIENDS
"I don't feel seen, known, understood by or emotionally safe with my family / friends."

"My needs don't get met, I feel like I'm looking after everyone else's."

"My family/friend doesn't know how to repair our relationship."

 
"I really want connection, and I am struggling with loss."
"I find that being around or talking with certain family members / friends is not good for me, but I can't let go."

NOAH H. / Los Angeles

"I feel so grateful to have connected with Essena. From an early age, I developed the habit of closing myself off from an emotionally immature family. This strategy has affected all other relationships in my life. During my very first session with Essena, I could literally feel my body begin to soften and become much less guarded. I quickly understood at a deep level, this is someone I feel safe with. From this powerful and supportive foundation, I was able to open up and work through a variety of goals and personal challenges with her. Essena's presence and skills as a coach have had a beautiful and meaningful impact on my life. "
