What is somatic coaching?

Ever feel stuck — emotionally, in relationships, or in your body — and thinking just doesn’t help?

Somatic coaching invites a different kind of listening.
Not just to your thoughts, but to your whole experience:
tension, breath, emotions, impulses, movement, and meaning.

This approach is grounded in a simple truth:
The body holds intelligence.
When we listen to it, things begin to shift.

Why it works

Sometimes we try to solve things with our minds —
but the stuckness lives elsewhere.

In somatic coaching, we slow down and listen to the body where many patterns begin and stay.

You’ll learn to notice your inner signals — not to fix them, but to understand them.

This process supports: 

  • Regulating stress and emotional overwhelm
  • Reconnecting with yourself with more ease and compassion
  • Shifting long-held patterns in a grounded, embodied way
  • Making choices that feel true — not just logical


Change doesn’t come from pushing.
It comes from presence.

Where this comes from

Somatic coaching draws from humanistic psychology —
the belief that every person carries a natural capacity for healing and growth.

It’s inspired by the work of Carl Rogers, Fritz Perls, Abraham Maslow,
and especially Somatic Experiencing® — developed by Dr. Peter Levine.

“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.

Dr. Peter Levine

What is Somatic Experiencing®?

Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is a body-based approach to working with stress, trauma, and overwhelm.

It’s based on a simple observation:
wild animals don’t stay traumatized.
They release stress and reset their nervous systems —
something we humans can relearn.

SE supports this natural capacity by:

  • Complete blocked stress responses
  • Release stuck activation from the body
  • Reconnect with our ability to self-regulate

The heart of the work

This isn’t about analyzing or fixing.
It’s about being with what’s here —
gently, clearly, and with support.

And from there:
Change grows — from the inside out.
