As a somatic coach, my focus is on helping youto reconnect with your body, enhance personal awareness, and integrate physical sensations and emotions into the process of personal growth and healing. The word “somatic” comes from the Greek word “soma,” meaning body, and in this context, it refers to the holistic experience of the body in relation to thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

Somatic coaching means guiding clients through the practice of body-centered awareness, movement, and sensory exploration to facilitate transformation and healing. This practice acknowledges that the body holds emotional and psychological experiences, often in the form of tension, pain, or unprocessed memories.

In session, I will work with you to release, reframe, and integrate these bodily experiences, supporting people in reconnecting with their innate wisdom, sense of safety, and self-expression.

Key Aspects of Somatic Coaching:

1. Mind-Body Connection – Helping you to tune into how your body responds to emotions and experiences.

2. Embodiment – Supporting you in inhabiting your body fully, shifting from a disembodied or dissociated state to one of deep presence.

3. Trauma-Informed Practices – Addressing the body’s response to trauma, stress, and grief, and helping the body process these experiences.

4. Movement and Breath – Using specific practices to release tension, encourage relaxation, and re-establish vitality in the body.

5. Self-Compassion and Empowerment – Guiding you in embracing your body with care, accepting your physical experiences, and developing personal agency in your healing journey.

With somatics, we’re not just addressing the mind or emotions; we are learning to embrace the wisdom of our bodies as an integral part of our healing and growth.

Have you recently experienced the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, a home, or something else deeply meaningful? In the face of such profound changes, it’s natural to feel lost or unsure how to navigate the waves of grief.

As a trained grief tender, I am here to support you as you move through your grief in your own time and in the way that feels right for you, with guidance and support. As Martin Prechtel so beautifully says:

“Grief expressed out loud for someone we have lost, or a country or home we have lost, is in itself the greatest praise we could ever give them. Grief is praise, because it is the natural way love honors what it misses.”

Come sit with me, and let me witness and tend to your grief with care, compassion, and reverence. Together, we can honour the love and connection at the heart of your loss.
