How is this different from talk therapy or coaching?

Talking is part of SE. We also slow down to notice sensations, breathing and impulses in the body. Change tends to come from what you actually feel, not only from what you understand. You don’t have to revisit your past or retell painful stories. We can talk about those experiences too, if and when it feels right. SE begins with what is happening for you here and now, at a pace that feels right for you.

Do these sessions replace medical or psychological care?

No. I offer somatic coaching, not medical diagnosis or psychological treatment. The sessions can take place alongside care you already receive. If you are unsure whether this work fits your situation, we can discuss that during the introductory call.

How do we start and how often do we meet?

We start with a free intro call: a chance to meet, ask questions and see whether this approach feels right for you. There is no fixed schedule. Most people start with regular sessions and adjust the frequency as they go.

When talking isn’t enough, your body is speaking.

You replay a conversation long after it ends. You struggle to switch off or react before you have time to choose. In our sessions, we talk about what is happening and notice how it shows up in your body: tension, breathing, sensations or an urge to move. We take time to explore these reactions together.

Whatever brings you, we start with what you are experiencing now.

Often we understand what is difficult, yet our body still tenses and the same reaction returns. In a session, we slow down and notice what happens as you talk: sensations, emotions, impulses and thoughts. This lets us get to know the reaction through the experience itself and explore together whether a different response becomes possible. There is no fixed plan; we start with what you are experiencing now.

For example, we might return to a difficult conversation and notice when your shoulders tighten or you hold your breath. We can pause there to explore what you notice next and how you might respond in a way that serves you better.

You don’t have to arrive calm or with a clear question. We go at your pace and start from wherever you are.

You remain in control throughout. You decide what to explore and your eyes can stay open. Touch can sometimes be helpful, but it is not necessary and always requires your consent. There is nothing to prepare.
