Question 1

What is somatic coaching—and how is it different from other coaching?

Accepted Answer

Holistic somatic coaching is a whole system, body-based approach to change. While talk-based methods can create insight, somatic work includes your nervous system and your body—where our stress patterns, protection responses and learned survival strategies from our past challenges often live. We work gently with your sensations, breath, awareness, movement and regulation skills so change becomes embodied, not just understood. I offer my coaching clients both life coaching and somatic coaching. If you want to explore change and how this can be embodied for you working with your body and seeing yourself through your nervous system can support you to make profound change. Please set up an alignment call if you want to explore this more and see if its the right fit for you

Question 2

What kinds of issues can your coaching help with?

Accepted Answer

Coaching can support you if you’re feeling stuck in patterns like anxiety, overwhelm, people-pleasing, burnout, shutdown, emotional reactivity, chronic tension, difficulty resting, or repeating relationship dynamics. With somatics, we focus on helping your nervous system feel safer, more resourced and more flexible - so that you able to face any challenges and make the changes you want to see in your life.To chat more about what this may actually be like for you - please set up an alignment call.

Question 3

Why are you the right person to support me?

Accepted Answer

I invite you to set up an  alignment call to understand more about me and why I do this work with my clients, to see if we're the right fit together. But I want to tell you that i've walked in your shoes. I know what its like to not like, let alone love, who you are. To fall apart whilst holding others together. To speak the most cruel words to yourself and know that there gets to be another way. I have done this work, walked this path and I have rebuilt my sense of self - I have returned to myself, my body and my wholeness. And I am excited to help more and more women to do the same. Intrigued let's chat!

Question 5

What happens in a session - what will we actually do?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are practical, collaborative and paced in line with your capacity.

My work is client-led and whilst I have a framework to support my clients, each session is led by you and where you are at. We may explore what’s happening in your body in that moment, track sensations, practice regulation tools, work with boundaries, or use gentle movement and grounding.

You’re always in control, and we go at a speed that feels safe and supportive. Many clients leave feeling clearer, more settled, and more connected to themselves.

Question 6

Do I need to relive the past or retell my trauma story?

Accepted Answer

No. Somatic coaching doesn’t require you to retell or re-live painful experiences. We focus on what’s happening now in your body and nervous system, building safety and choice in the present.

If past experiences arise, we work with them carefully - without forcing deep dives, so that your system can integrate and you can embed change at a manageable, comfortable pace.

Question 7

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

When we first start working with your body, change can be felt sometimes very quickly - you may feel calmer, more like you're able to meet yourself. You may sleep better and have more emotional space (and literacy).

Through learning regulation practices you will deepen your self-understanding and implementing different practices will change the relationship you have with your body, which you will be able to feel .

Change can take longer depending on your goal, history and approach to this work. We will of course adjust as we need to to ensure you feel aligned and to make sure that change is sustainable for you.

Question 8

What if I’m skeptical or I’m not good at relating to (or feeling) my body?

Accepted Answer

It’s very common to feel skeptical or disconnected from your body - especially if you’ve spent years pushing through. You don’t need any prior experience with somatics, you just need to come open minded and ready to do the work to make the change.

We start simply and build capacity and safety for you step-by-step. This change gets to feel real and lasting, not just trying and pushing harder. I totally understand the anxiety around doing this work,  I have experienced it directly, and I am there to support and hold my clients.
