Embodied Coaching

For Coaches & Therapists

I am passionate about helping therapists and coaches integrate the body and mind to create deeper, more holistic care for their clients. My mission is to guide healers in cultivating embodied presence, empathy, and responsiveness in their work. I believe that being in one's body and having a strong sense of interoceptive awareness - the ability to attend to internal sensation - is foundational for therapists to be fully attuned to their clients.

The core foundation of my coaching is to help you fully inhabit your body so that you can be deeply attuned to the somatic experience of your clients.

My approach is grounded in the belief that bringing awareness to the body and its wisdom is essential for developing empathy and empowering clients to heal.

The Core of My Coaching

The foundation of my coaching revolves around enabling you to fully inhabit your body, granting you the ability to be deeply attuned to the somatic experiences of your clients. I am a firm believer that this awareness of the body and its wisdom is essential for fostering empathy and empowering clients on their healing journey.

Join The Community

Join The Community

Are you a therapist trained in embodiment and somatic therapy approaches?

Join our new Facebook community, The Embodied Collective, to connect with other somatic-focused therapists! This group is a space to share resources, discuss techniques, and support each other's embodied development as therapists. As we know, the therapist's body awareness is a vital therapeutic tool.
Coming together as a community can deepen our skills and better serve our clients.

All embodied/somatic therapists are welcome - let's evolve the field together!

I am committed to guiding you on your journey of integrating body, mind, and spirit so you can facilitate deeper healing and embodiment for all your clients. My embodiment coaching transforms your presence and opens new pathways to support client growth and empowerment.

So many of us get so caught up in our heads that we lose connection with our somatic experience. This can limit our ability to empathize and work with our clients' felt senses and emotions. I help you develop embodied self-awareness, breath, and moment-to-moment sensory experience. This builds your capacity for embodied empathy and resonance when sitting with a client.

It's challenging for therapists to stay grounded in their bodies during sessions. The cognitive load of tracking a client, formulating questions, and monitoring the process can take us out of the present moment. I teach skills like mindful breathing, body scans, and sensing exercises that you can use to reconnect with your somatic experience throughout a session.

Body-Mind-Spirit, Your Integration for Deeper Healing

I also understand we bring our histories and traumas, which can show up in the body and disconnect them from the present. I can help you address embodied memories and patterns through coaching so they have the capacity to be fully attentive to the client in each session. Overall, my embodied approach allows therapists to be more fully inhabiting their own bodies so they can be present with the bodies and experiences of their clients.

Overall, working with me allows therapists and coaches to become more embodied to provide somatic-focused care that helps clients feel seen, understood, and healed at a deeper level. My embodied coaching approach is essential for therapists looking to enhance their presence, attunement, and effectiveness.
