1:1 Somatic & Embodiment Coaching
Sessions / Programs

In these private online somatic coaching sessions we follow and work with the intelligence of your body to reconnect you to your aliveness, your longings, your truth, and your center.

In this deep, transformative, healing work we work with your nervous system, parts, tendencies and patterns, whats stored and stuck beneath the surface, and develop new embodied ways of being. We get you to a place where your actions align with your values and goals, even under great pressure and stress.

Group Embodiment & Movement
Workshops / Courses

In these online and in-person group workshops, courses and classes, the focus touches on some similar areas explored in somatic coaching - what you desire to embody, what you want more of, and what you want to let go of.

However, the workshops are immersive embodiment experiences, that invite you into deeper presence, engagement with your senses and your body, embodied expression, play and movement.

Each workshop explores a unique theme, and is open to all genders unless otherwise stated.

“Somatics is about returning to the self as an embodied being, where transformation is not just about insight, but about taking new actions from a new shape.”

STACI K. HAINES

Do any of these sound like you?

If so, you're not alone, and you're in the right place.

These are some of the experiences I support my clients with gently, compassionately, somatically.

These are tender places where many of us get stuck, and also where deep transformation is possible.

EMOTIONS

"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!" or "I mostly feel numb."

"Anxiety is preventing me from enjoying my life, and relationships."

SELF-ESTEEM

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

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

"I want to be and do all these amazing things, but I'm afraid and I end up sabotaging them somehow every time."

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 run, 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."

SELF-INTIMACY

"I feel disconnected from myself, my body, my aliveness, my sensuality, my sexuality."

"I really want more joy, passion, and purpose in my life, to live a life that is meaningful to me and lights me up"

"I've experienced a lot of trauma and challenges, and I want to heal and show up for myself."

BOUNDARIES

"I struggle to set, communicate, and uphold a boundary."

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

"I lose myself in relationships!"

FAMILY / FRIENDS

"I don't feel seen, known, understood by or emotionally safe with my family / friends."

"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."

WHY WORK WITH ME?

1.

TRAUMA-INFORMED & EMPOWERING

I create a safe, attuned, compassionate, non-judgmental space, where your whole self is welcomed.

My role is to guide you back to your true self and your own power.

I support you in becoming your own embodied guide and reconnecting you to true embodied choice.

2.

INTEGRATIVE
APPROACH MIND & BODY

I take an integrative approach, drawing from an eclectic blend of somatic and cognitive modalities, and body-based embodiment expressive arts (such as dance, flow and dramatic arts).

3.

INTUITIVE
& TAILORED TO YOU

Every client is unique, so I meet you exactly where you are at.

While all my work is somatic, I bring in additional modalities, tools and practices in my work with you, based on your needs, and what will serve you and your goals the most. Together we honour your unique rhythm, and go at a pace you and your body are ready for.

FAQ - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Every call and session with me is a safe, curious, nurturing, compassionate space, in which you feel supported, heard and understood.

It starts with a discovery call where we discuss your needs, longings and challenges, and how coaching with me can help. You get a feel for my energy and approach and have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have too.

Once we have decided we are a good fit to work together, we will confirm the number of sessions you'd like, the day and time. I will send you an intake form for you to fill in that will prepare me for our first/on-boarding session, and a coaching agreement for you to read and sign. It's important that I receive these back from you at least 48-hours before our first session.

The first session is our on-boarding session and will serve to give us a deeper, fuller sense of where you are at, what you want, and how I can support you as a coach. It will also involve at least one somatic practice, such as a centering practice.

In our ongoing sessions we work somatically - through awareness, compassionate inquiry, sensing and feeling, body-led insights, expression and actions. We use movement, breath, sound, touch, and somatic parts work - to release, generate flow, and create embodied transformation.

I take an integrative approach to healing and creating real change, and may bring in guidance and tools from additional cognitive and / or somatic modalities I'm trained in that complement somatic coaching. This depends on the individual client, their experiences, challenges and goals, and would be done only if the client gave their consent.

Our sessions are a collaborative process, where I guide and work with you toward achieving your goals and overcoming challenges and obstacles.

You will also have the option for support in-between sessions.

Yes and no. While somatic coaching helps you get clear on and achieve specific goals, it's designed to be a holistic, body-centered journey, where we take you deeper and tend to the whole picture. It's designed to hold space for you to explore, uncover, create and become whatever your heart and body are ready for. It's about trusting your unique process and allowing what's most important to surface.

Even though many people come to coaching with specific goals in mind, the work we do is always centered around deep embodied transformation.

You may come in with one intention, but as we work together, new layers of insight, healing and possibility may emerge. Meaning the specific goals you came in with at the beginning, might shift, refine, expand, or evolve as you deepen your connection with yourself. This is natural, and a wonderful thing.

Somatic coaching is a flexible and evolving process, it adapts to and will always be aligned with your unique needs, desires and goals. And it is also so much more than that.

We create a path for you to make powerful changes, to empower you to expand beyond what you thought was possible, and create meaningful and lasting embodied change. Embodied change that naturally extends to and positively impacts all areas of your life.

Please do not worry if you feel unclear on what your goals are, our somatic explorations will reveal what you truly long for.

I recommend weekly sessions, and my coaching packages are based on weekly sessions.

Regular sessions keep you engaged with the work and build momentum. They support the integration of the work we are doing, consistent progress, and deep embodied transformation.

Over time the frequency may reduce based on progress.

We can adjust the frequency to one that or increase if the client desires more than one session a week during an unforeseen stressful event.

There are some instances where weekly sessions may not be necessary, however this is dependent on a number of factors.

If you are unsure of how often you would like to or need to have a session, the discovery call will give me the information I need to suggest a frequency for our sessions.

Sessions last 60 minutes, giving us the time to meet you where you are at on the day, dive deep, and keep our sessions intentional and impactful - honouring you and your goals.

You're not alone. Many people come into somatic work feeling disconnected and unsure of what their body is doing. It is often part of the journey, especially at first - and it's welcome here.

Disconnection from emotions and sensations is often a natural protective response to overwhelming experiences, a survival strategy the body learned to keep you safe.

In our our work together their is no pressure to feel anything specific or "get it right."

We move gently with curiosity and compassion, creating an environment of trust for your body to reconnect at it's own pace, without pressure or expectation.

You will be guided into exploration and practices that will support you in gradually reconnecting or developing greater somatic attunement, and increasing your capacity to experience sensations and emotions, in a way that feels safe and empowering.

Awareness, sensations, emotions, and insights, often unfold naturally as you cultivate trust and safety within yourself. Feeling will return when your body is ready.

Yes absolutely.

Many people work with a therapist alongside coaching, and find that somatic coaching deepens their therapy experience by helping them reconnect to their bodies, in ways that talk-therapy alone might not.

We will always ensure that our work together supports and honours the healing you're already doing, rather than overwhelming or conflicting with your therapy work.

To uphold my duty of care to you as my client, there are things that must be clearly understood and agreed upon first:

1. I can only work within my scope of practice.

2. What coaching is and is not.

3. What our coaching sessions are working on and how, and the way they differ from your therapy sessions.

4. It is necessary for me to get consent from your therapist. It is important that they are aware and in support of you receiving somatic coaching alongside their work with you. They are usually happy to support their clients embarking on somatic work.

Not at all. It's absolutely okay if you are new to this.

Many people come with no prior experience of body-oriented coaching or body-based work - just a willingness to explore and reconnect with themselves, and a desire for meaningful and lasting transformation.

Somatic coaching and embodiment work meet you exactly where you are at.

You don't need to know how to do anything in advance. Together, we'll create a space for your body to speak, feel, and reconnect - with yourself, your emotions, the people and things you care about the most, and your deepest longings.
