Embodiment practices and personalized support to help you move towards your desires, and live in deeper alignment with your values.
*Also available in person
What is Somatic Coaching?
Somatics allows us to shift deeply embodied habits, beliefs, and patterns that are no longer serving us, for the sake of living more fully aligned with our desires and values.
We are in a moment of upheaval politically and socially. We are living through times that can easily be described as “too much, too fast,” which is a common way to describe trauma. When the pressure is on, we act from our most deeply engrained patterns, instead of from a sense of possibility and resilience.
Somatic coaching is a powerful methodology that can support us to stay in alignment, regulated, and connected even under pressure. We work through the body to become aware of patterns and stuck places, and move towards more embodied possibilities.
What I can support:
Getting unstuck, undoing patterns that no longer work for you
Understanding the connection between what is happening in your mind and what is happening in your body
Gender exploration and trans related issues
Moving towards longings/desires
Endings and life transitions of all kinds
Unlearning patterns of whiteness, perfectionism, activist burnout, etc.
Cultivating dignity and self-trust
And more…
Who I love to work with:
Queers, trans folks, and gender expansive people of all kinds
Activists and organizers looking for balance
Shy visionaries and quiet change-makers who need support stepping into the fullness of your potential
Anyone looking to understand the connection between what is happening in your mind/emotions to what is happening in your body
How is somatic coaching different from somatic therapy?
We will work primarily through movement, bodywork, and somatic practices
We let the body do most of the talking
We work less generally and more specifically, helping you move toward your stated goals.
We focus attention on the social conditions that we are swimming in, to unlearn cycles of oppression and repression for the sake of collective change.
We don’t focus on what happened but on the impacts of what happened, and how to reconnect to your body instead of getting lost in the details.
Somatic Coaching is not the best fit if…
You are primarily looking for a space to process or talk about what’s going on in your life
You are struggling with anxiety, depression, or another mental health diagnosis and you need a specific kind of care that addresses these issues directly
You are in active crisis
If you need immediate support you can contact the Alachua County Crisis Center, the Trans Lifeline, or one of these warmlines for a non-judgmental listening ear
