HOW I WORK
MY COACHING approach
The Relational-Somatic Approach
This aspect includes the connection "between us" and exploring the relational habits and patterns "within yourself", as applied to both life and work.
Between Us: As a coach, I’ll guide how we relate to each other, through creating a supportive, non-judgemental space to be yourself and by encouraging your autonomy, experimentation, and growth. I’ll also role model new, healthy, and productive ways to relate — to yourself and others.
Within Yourself: We’ll explore your view of “who you are” and how you view others and life — views we all form as a natural internal process. We’ll work with "parts" of yourself to: (a) increase access to your authentic and best Self, (b) identify, help, and transform the parts of you that get stuck in unhelpful habits and painful emotions, and (c) develop relevant emotional intelligence (EQ) skills.
RELATIONAL
(connecting to oneself, others & life itself)
Somatic coaching guides you to tune into how your body communicates your needs, true desires, and inner wisdom, as we explore your goals. We create the right conditions and pace to include moments of you paying attention to what’s happening in your body — such as sensations, emotions, defensive nervous system reactions, or shifts in your posture or tone of voice.
Bringing this awareness to both moments of difficulty (e.g., stress, discomfort, threat) and ease (e.g., safety, connection, joy, authenticity) creates insights into your strengths, the barriers you face, and what you need to move forward.
The Aim Is Twofold: to grow your capacity to meet challenges more effectively and with ease and to fully take in the good — so you can feel more fulfilled and truly at home within yourself.
