BENEFITS FROM COACHING WITH ME

Living in a mind-driven society, we are taught to celebrate the intelligence of the thinking mind and ignore the signals of our body. In somatic coaching, we slow down the pace to listen to the body’s signals. The more we practice listening to what our body is communicating to us, the more we can tune in to the intelligence of the body.

​

In somatic coaching, all parts of the mindbody are recognised. During a session, we work with the whole of you, i.e., your behaviours, thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations. By listening to the information that is provided at different levels, we allow for new insights to emerge.

The Authority of the Body. During our sessions, we listen to the wisdom of your body, whether it tells you to move, lie down or take a break. Many of us are taught to ignore the signals of the body from a young age. Choosing to honour our body’s needs, rather than undermine its wisdom, are small act of rebellion to reclaim the authority of our body.

Co-creative partnership. Coaching is a process of co-creation and collaboration where unexpected insights can emerge. It’s a partnership where we co-create the process and space together from a place of curiosity and exploration.

Being Open to the Unfolding of the Present Moment: In somatic coaching, we embrace an experimental attitude and the willingness to navigate the unknown. This creates space for new insights and different perspectives to arrive.

As a somatic coach, I support you in facilitating your inner sensemaking process and help you untangle chains and knots to achieve greater clarity. I hold a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space for you to connect with your body and mind and access your inner wisdom. Through somatic practices, I support you in regaining your relationship with your body by enhancing your inherent capacity to listen to your body’s needs and reclaiming the power to respond to these needs with awareness and choice.

In every conversation, so much more is communicated beyond the spoken words. In our sessions, I attend to the wholeness of your person. This means that I might share observations of your body language and ask what certain gestures or movements mean to you.

Knowing that you are responsible for your growth by

• creating the time, energy and headspace to commit to the coaching journey.

• showing up focused and open to new experiences.

• sharing openly and honestly what is working for you and what is not (and expecting the same from me).

You are accountable for your actions towards the desired change. As a coach, I help to hold you accountable for achieving that change.
