Somatic Coaching and Compassionate Inquiry

Somatic Coaching

Reclaim Your Body: A safe space to connect with yourself

Somatic coaching is a holistic approach that focuses on the connection between the mind and body to foster personal growth, healing, and transformation. It involves techniques that help you become more aware of your bodily sensations, movements, and emotions by creating safety from within. By integrating physical awareness with cognitive and emotional insights, somatic coaching aims to promote overall well-being and creates a safe space that encourages change.

Somatic Coaching Structure

  • The sessions are 60 minutes of “work” and 5 minutes of transition time back into the space and move forward with your day. 

  • During the session we incorporate body awareness, movement, visceral manipulation, craniosacral therapy, and embodiment techniques to help you find safety from within, foster a deep connection with your body (and mind), process deep-seated emotions, transform limiting beliefs about yourself and your body, and develop a greater sense of self-awareness and presence.

  • Each session will have a specific intention (what you want to focus on during our time together) written down during the beginning of each session

  • We use movement, bodywork, mindfulness, and embodiment practices to heal past traumas, stuck emotions, and when appropriate, manage flare-ups 

  • Suited for anyone who has the desire to change. Populations I have experience with include: autoimmune disorders, long COVID, mental illness, kinesiophobia, chronic pain conditions, suicide loss survivors, and the LGBTQ+ community. 

  • We move at the pace of safety and we go only as fast as you’re safe. Meaning, you’ll experience some discomfort but if at any point it becomes unbearable, we slow down. 

  • We take the last few minutes of each session coming back to the present, recapping, and discussing homework and takeaways.

Compassionate Inquiry

Created by Dr. Gabor Maté, Compassionate Inquiry (CI) is a somatic based psychotherapeutic approach focusing on self-compassion and healing from trauma and addiction. It can help you access and process difficult emotions by cultivating self-acceptance and understanding rather than judgment. Through mindful inquiry and gentle exploration of bodily sensations, we release trapped emotions and explore a connection to Self. This connection facilitates healing from trauma-related symptoms such as anxiety, depression, addiction, and post-traumatic stress, fostering resilience and emotional regulation.
