What is somatic coaching?

Coaching is supportive, deeply personal and tuned to the client's goals. Somatic coaching is particularly effective in facilitating transformation in both personal and professional areas. Through tuning into bodily sensations and moods, the client builds awareness of how and when their old shaping shows up that doesn’t serve their declared values or goals. When the old shaping is released from the body and mind, new possibilities and choices can be seen. Through somatic practices (for example, making requests, drawing boundaries, wholehearted and whole-bodied commitments), the client turns new possibilities into new actions they can take even under the same old pressure -- we call this transformation, or lasting change.   

Somatic coaching is not therapy, but can be healing. In fact, healing is often necessary on the path to fulfilling greater potential. What limits our actions and choices include both large social forces that we cannot change immediately or by ourselves, and marks left from unhealed past experiences that can be attended to directly (and gently) at the individual level, with the help of an empathetic and skillful witness. In somatic coaching, we draw on your body’s innate capacity for adaptation and renewal to release long held patterns and to generate new actions and new possibilities. This approach - embodiment - is grounded in ancient wisdom traditions and supported by contemporary discoveries in neurosciences.

The somatic coaching methodology I trained in includes somatic bodywork, a direct and effective way to promotes relaxation, clarity, increased energy flow and aliveness in the body and spirit. Somatic bodywork helps the client release habitual contractions in the body so they can let more of the world in and more of themselves be expressed.

Working with me

I am a Strozzi Institute certified somatic coach, with extensive experience in social sciences (academic and applied sociology) and movement art (primarily Tai Chi and Qigong, with a smattering of yoga and Argentine tango) (see more about me). I work well with folks with cross-cultural backgrounds of many shapes and forms. I am energized when working with people who strive for adaptation and want to march forward holding both fear and courage.
