Somatic Coaching & Consulting

What is Somatics?

Neuroinclusive Somatics

Somatic coaching is an experiential methodology that draws from neuroscience, mindfulness, martial arts, and polyvagal theory to integrate the wisdom of the body and mind. Rather than focusing simply on cognitive awareness, as many psychotherapeutic models do, somatics brings physical sensations, emotions, thoughts, stories, and an individual’s history together to offer pathways for the transformations that are important to the client.

Our bodies carry the patterns that have shaped us and kept us safe over time. These wise patterns become ingrained and often persist long beyond their relevance and usefulness. Somatics offers a way to reshape these patterns, allowing us more choice in our responses - even under pressure.

Somatics can also help reshape our ways of relating to others, our leadership skills, our well-being at work, and how we experience and live our lives.

I would love to discuss with you how somatics might serve you our your organization. Book a conversation with me here.

Neuroinclusive Somatics

Neurodivergent individuals often find somatics especially meaningful, as we’ve learned from the world that our ways of sensing, being, and living are wrong or deficient.

My approach to somatics honors inherent neurodivergent dignity and wisdom. Rather than trying to change who and how neurodivergent clients are in the world, we dignify your nervous system responses while moving you towards what you care about.

Science says: the body is a machine.

Advertising says: The body is a business.

The Body says: I am a fiesta.”
