​Somatic coaching is an approach to change and transformation that will let our actions

align with what we care about, even under pressure. - Staci K Haines

​

​So much of the time we are encouraged not to feel; to live in our heads and disconnect from what our bodies are telling us. This can begin from a very young age - sit still even though your body needs to move, wait to go to the toilet, ignore feelings of hunger or exhaustion, squash emotions down even though they are valid, override the feelings, push on through, contain and manage the body, control yourself.

Sometimes this is necessary, a survival strategy or the only option in that moment, but if it's the norm to not listen to our body's signals, over time we may stop hearing our own needs at all.

​

Somatics is about bringing the body back in and beginning to notice and unwind the patterns of tension and stress that have built up over time. If we are able to listen, understand and have compassion for what has shaped us throughout our lives up until this point and why we might respond in the ways that we do, things can begin to shift and new possibilities can emerge.

​

Somatic Coaching helps you to understand why your life might not align with your true longings and values. It uncovers old beliefs that may no longer be helpful, supports you to safely process stored stress and make lasting changes. A way forward with more of what makes you feel like you, with the capacity for what truly brings you joy.

Coaching is usually a block of 10 sessions, taken over a 3 month period. This allows time and space for supportive change.
