How Somatic Coaching transforms both your mind AND your body for lasting change

Somatic is soma, a Greek term meaning ‘of the body’. And the difference between somatic coaching and traditional coaching is the focus on your body for effective transformation.

So traditional coaching can be about goal setting, it can be about your mindset, how you’re thinking, the quality of how you think, setting up terms and conditions for yourself, changing your mind, training your mind in certain ways using a toolbox full of good tools, NLP type tools, so neurolinguistic programming tools to change your mindset for the better for yourself.

My approach to coaching, my somatic coaching, is more to drop into the body and to befriend the body, to come home to ourselves and draw upon the wisdom of our bodies, to draw upon the innate knowledge we have within ourselves, how we are, how we should be, how we could be.

Where so often we bypass our bodies and operate from our heads only and trust in the head, that the head has all the answers, that the answers lie external from ourselves.

And in this way we can self abandon, we can bypass what’s important for ourselves, we can be operating in the wrong gear from our innate bodies and our innate body wisdom.

And so my invitation with somatic coaching is to bring you as a client back into your body, to access that amazing Information, knowledge, wellspring of intuition and wisdom that lies within each and every one of us and is bespoke and unique to each and every one of us.

So that you can then begin to live out your best life, drawing upon that internal resource, your true self, sense of true self, in order to start living on your terms and conditions rather than the brains.
