Our best selves are realized through the wisdom available to us when we listen from the ground up, allowing ourselves to access the knowledge from the full breadth of our body’s systems and experiences.
Our bodies are the vehicle through which we experience the world. It is the first place that decisions are made, where our actions and reactions are centered, and where we shape our own understanding of ourselves. Before our brains even get to fully understand our situations, our bodies can make choices for us. If you find yourself thinking and ruminating but struggling to take action or regulate your emotions under stress, somatics might be helpful to you. If you’re looking to more deeply embody your values and longings, then somatic coaching might be the tool you’ve been looking for.
Somatic coaching is not therapy; though you may find it therapeutic. Working from a body centered approach, somatic coaching is a process that we embark on together. We create space for reflection and self knowledge. We build practices designed to increase personal agency over our actions, reactions, and internal narratives. In one on one or group sessions we use play, conversation, breath, movement, and other tools to move towards embodying who we want to be, wholly.
You may find somatic coaching helpful if…
- You know better, but you can’t seem to do better.
- You’ve had some therapy or know your issues, but need help setting goals and moving past internal blocks.
- You are looking for tools for emotional regulation, stress management, or reducing a feeling of overwhelm.
- You feel disconnected from self and want to find ways to be more embodied.
- You’re facing a threshold in your life and want support and guidance as you transform into your new role(s).
- You want to build a practice that enhances your own well being and connection to your deepest longings.
or if you want to…
- be more in tune with your body, including finding ways to deal with chronic distresses like pain or anxiety.
- more authentically embody your values and beliefs.
- transform internal narratives, patterns of trauma, and embodied reactions that no longer serve you.
- grow your capacities to show up for what matters to you.
- identify and unlearn harmful patterns of self-sabotage.
- know your needs and limits and be able to set clear boundaries.
- have tools to help regulate your nervous system, especially in times of stress.
- cultivate your capacities to flow through a full range of emotions, sensations, thoughts, experiences, and life events.
- create internal resources to call on in times of need.
- give yourself dedicated space to know yourself as you grow yourself.
