Coaching is not a replacement for psychotherapy, and in some cases, people work with both therapists and coaches in tandem. For parts of your past and trauma that need further exploration and processing, I recommend working with a licensed clinical therapist.

While therapy primarily focuses on where you’re currently at based on what’s happened in your past (your childhood, lived experiences, traumas), coaching focuses on your future: where you want to go, who you want to be, and what you want in your life. Coaching relies on you and your goals and desires and pulls from your own wisdom to create transformation in your life. As a coach, I will support you in your journey, but you will be the ultimate guide of your process. The coaching container will be safe, confidential, with no judgment and my role will be to support and empower you in your process.

Somatic coaching is a holistic approach that expands the coaching container to focus on the body, where the body is a key part of change and transformation. In this work, we engage the body as an instrument to access the unconscious parts of your mind which drives over 90% of our behavior as humans.

In somatic coaching, we integrate practices that allow you to tune into your felt senses in the body that are related to beliefs, stories and patterns that run through your mind and affect your day-to-day behaviors, habits and responses. You learn to tune into feelings and their associated sensations in the body.

With this awareness, you open up a deeper understanding of yourself, and you engage in practices to shift these patterns in the body and the mind to be more aligned with your goals and desires in life - to show up differently. Through this work, you will become more embodied and more attuned to your inner wisdom and guidance, you will learn to improve your capacity, and you will learn to change core patterns of behavior.

While the framework of my 1:1 coaching container is the same for all my clients, the actual coaching experience will be COMPLETELY customized to you: your beliefs, patterns, goals, and your capacity. What we work on in our sessions will be guided by you and your process.

I typically work in 90-minute sessions via Zoom, where sessions are held every other week to allow for integration between sessions.

The sessions can be recorded for you to reference if you like, and I provide my notes from each session.

I am available by email and/or Voxer between sessions for support.

I work with you to customize personal practices to support your transformation process, typically provided by audio or video.

If you want change in your life and it’s drawing you to be coached, the commitment is there - even if it’s unclear what the process may be exactly. You can’t fail.

Knowing that coaching is a process is important. I will support you in understanding yourself better, and diving into your unconscious to start rewiring parts of your brain that you want to shift - those old beliefs or stories or behaviors that no longer serve you.

With 1:1 coaching being completely tailored to fit into your life and your capacity, we’ll work together to build a roadmap for you that’s actually attainable for you, while still supporting your desire to make shifts toward the aligned life you want for yourself.

This is for the person who feels the pull for change, wants something different, wants to explore the possibility of…

→ A deeper sense of self & connection to your dreams & desires

→ Feeling empowered to use your voice to express your needs & desires, once you uncover what they are

→ Safety in vulnerability & connection, both with yourself & with others

→ Confidence in your relationships to express your needs & ask for support to get those needs met

→ Abundance & clarity in your life, inside and outside of your career

→ Being completely attuned to your capacity, its ebbs & flows, and how to adjust areas in your life to match your capacity

→ Confidence in your ability to recognize the signs of dysregulation within yourself & how to self-regulate to bring more groundedness back into yourself and your relationships

→ A deep sense of trust in your inner wisdom & your ability to act on it to achieve greater alignment and possibility in your life

But most of all, my goal is to support you in coming home to your authentic self — not the person you feel like you have to be, or are expected to be by yourself and others — but the most embodied version of you there is.
