What is Somatic Coaching?
My approach is a combination of solution focused coaching and somatic body based approach.
Instead of just concentrating on the rational mind and the facts of the situation, we use sensations, emotions and internal stories as a gateway into the unconscious mind that resides in your body.
In my somatic approach I use the body as a portal into your innate wisdom.
All of our experiences and emotions are stored into the body and being in the body allows us to process and release them. In a session this may show up for example as guided somatic grounding practice that helps you to learn how to recognise sensations in the body.
I combine nervous system regulation, embodied presence and life coaching into my approach as a somatic coach. In order to bring balance to the system, you want to become aware of how your system responds to daily challenges. Only then can we learn to be with different states and help our system to move from activation into rest or from procrastination into action. This is one thing we practise in somatic coaching.
Coaching helps you to improve your self awareness so that you can see what is currently holding you back. And through the body, we can somatically work with these blocks. By tapping into your inner wisdom, you can start to recognise the next necessary steps for you.
Embodied presence means that we can hold space for all parts of ourselves & learn to be with each and every sensation. When we allow these parts to show us which behaviour patterns are no longer needed, we can make conscious changes in our daily life. Being embodied means that you are able to stay with your present experience (sensations, emotions, feelings and nervous system state) and learn from it.
