Somatic coaching is a healing practice that invites the wisdom of your whole being or “soma” - including your mind, body, and spirit as it lives inside of our social context. Coaching with me includes some talking and we will primarily engage the ‘felt sense’ and wisdom of our bodies, often through the support of somatic practices. We will focus on your longings, what you care about or seek to change in your life.

Somatic coaching is distinct from traditional talk therapy in a few important ways. Therapy often engages solely your mind, offers mental health diagnoses and explores your history to seek understanding of your current experience. While we look to know what has shaped you historically, in somatic coaching we orient to your future longings and youe body as a guide. If you are looking for mental health support that is outside the scope of my work as a practitioner, I would be happy to offer referrals to other professionals. It is not uncommon to see a therapist and a coach concurrently, if that is supportive.
