Somatic Coaching

What is Somatic Coaching?

In Somatic Coaching, we bring our work for embodied healing and transformation to the field of relationships. We make explicit what we’re longing for in our lives, in our movements for justice, and in our world, and work together towards that vision. We get to know our default patterns of reactivity and what other options we might want for how we show up in our relationships. We practice asking and sensing for how these reactions show up in our bodies, how they have been shaped by the contexts and cultures we are living in, and what vulnerabilities they are protecting. Through bodywork, we invite these patterns to open and shift, as we bring compassion, clarity, and presence to what’s moving through us. Along the way, we practice the new skills we want to have when the same moments come around again. Learning these new skills supports us in showing up in new ways and in bringing more love, more dignity, more joy, more belonging, and more safety into our world, for ourselves and others.

I am currently completing training with generative somatics and Strozzi Institute-trained teachers to offer Somatic Coaching as an integrated part of Rolfing© Structural Integration Bodywork sessions. I look forward to working together for the sake of greater embodiment, trustworthiness, and joy in our movements, as we build toward a just transition where no one is left behind.
