in-sight somatic coaching
“The fundamental work of the Somatic Coach is to guide the person to feel and be with this animating force that makes them alive. This is life moving toward life.”
— Richard Strozzi
Insight coaching is a body-oriented form of coaching for mind-body clarity, effectiveness and aliveness. This might be for you if you are:
considering or in the midst of a life transition (career, relationship, identity)
finding challenges in relationships (boundaries, open emotional expression, speaking one’s truth)
feeling stuck about an issue
curious to learn more about your habitual responses and how they might impact your life
Foundational to this developmental coaching approach, is that our habits which can both help and hinder us are expressed in the body. To enable sustained shifts in our behaviour and hence our lives, it is not enough to work with our thoughts. Working at the level of the body is not just a good to have, but essential.
Partnering over a series of 1:1 hour-long online sessions, through sharing, listening, inquiring and engaging in bite-sized somatic practices, we move closer towards your intended outcome.
How this differs from somatic therapy is that somatic coaching is primarily present and future focused, and best experienced when there is already a baseline of nervous system stability. There is much less emphasis on diving into past material, so this can also be a complementary approach to existing therapeutic care you’re receiving elsewhere.
