Somatic coaching helps you THRIVE

Tired of constantly waiting for tomorrow to finally ENJOY life? Of waking up and going through the same old routine,
fighting the same old battles, getting stuck in the same old behaviours that limit you? Triggered by the same old stressors.

It’s not that life is terrible. In fact, there’s probably a lot going well. It’s just there’s a nagging sense that things aren’t quite what you need or want…

You want to be you at your best! To be able to enjoy the people around you. To wake up energised, ready for the day.
Proud of your accomplishments. Having a sense of meaning and purpose in the things you do.

You don’t want to settle for regrets.

You’re ready to build a life you love. To enjoy the life you already have.

But how do you do that?

You need 4 things:

1. Know what you’re aiming for

2. Know what you’re practicing

3. Embody your north star

4. Embrace the journey

Somatic Coaching Process in 4 steps

Know what you’re aiming for.

Ok, here’s the thing. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t have to know exactly what the future will look like. You don’t have to know exactly how you’ll get there.

BUT, when you want change in yourself or in your circumstances, you have to have some kind of intent. A north star.

Something not based upon who you “should” be, what you “should” do or what you’re supposed to want to achieve.

It’s something that resonates deep within you and is aligned with who you are. Aligned with your values and your strengths.

A north star is both a destination and an intention to embody what matters most to you. It represents:

WHO you aspire to BE,

WHERE you intend to GO, and

WHY any of this really matters to you.

Know what you’re practicing.

So you have a north star. Great! BUT, how do you get from here to there?

As one of my teacher’s used to say, you’re always practicing something. The key is to know what you are already practicing.

Where are you now? Who are you now? What do you need to practice to be more aligned with your north star?

We often live in a sort of autopilot. Repeating beliefs, thoughts and patterns of behaving without being fully aware of it.

Sometime these ways of being no longer serve us well. They served a purpose at one point and we can be thankful for that!

But now they may need to be updated in order to serve us BETTER.

Embody your north star

So you have a north star. You know what you’re practicing. Now, it’s time to shift your patterns and your practice to be aligned with your north star.

Say goodbye to being overly perfectionistic and hard on yourself. We’re going to take a different road.

You’re going to get to know the role of the body in holding patterns in place and offering important information that you need to move forward.

You begin to practice NEW ways of being and doing. You develop new skills, new capacities, new ways of seeing that are aligned with what really matters to you. You learn to handle the stresses and obstacles that come your way with a greater sense of peace and ease.

At first, it might be hard but the more you practice, the EASIER it gets. And because it’s aligned with what really matters to you, you aren’t just doing something because you “should” be or because someone else told you to. You’re doing something that you are deeply committed to! And over time, this becomes your new autopilot.

Embrace the journey

Amazing! You’re starting to embody your north star.

You’re on a journey! Becoming more of your true self. Moving towards your goals. Deeply in touch with what really matters to you.

Here’s the best news: You don’t have to be “perfect” and you don’t have to wait for tomorrow to enjoy where you are at today!

Imagine you want to play piano. You’ve never played before, so you sit down and start pressing keys. You decide to take some lessons and your skills grow. You pick a difficult piece of music to learn and you practice regularly. You enjoy it but also there’s times that it’s frustrating or hard. Sometimes you miss a couple days but then you practice again. When you practice, some days you make more mistakes than others but you keep on playing. As time passes, playing feels easier and easier until one day you play the song with no difficulty. You enjoy playing. You enjoy this accomplishment and all the other songs you can now play as a result. And you begin to think about picking a new song to learn. And the journey goes on.

From the first moment you sit down to play, you are playing piano. You are aligning with your north star. Even when you aren’t a “perfect" master of the piano.

When you make mistakes, it’s not failure. It’s just part of the journey. And the journey really is the destination.

When you are present for the journey, you can enjoy and appreciate what you have, who you are and where you are right now. Even while knowing that the journey is far from over.

This is one of the secrets to ENJOYING the life you have while building the life you WANT.

You wake up full of purpose, meaning and excitement. And before you know it, you wake up and realise you are exactly where you wanted to be!

Somatic Coaching Packages so you can THRIVE

These 4 steps can be applied to a huge variety of topics.

When you work with me, I will guide you through each of these 4 steps. The journey will be tailored to you and your specific goals. With practical tools and exercises. Holding safe and compassionate space. Celebrating your milestones with you. Together you can find your north star and align with it in your very being while discovering joy today.

You can’t go wrong with any of the 3 packages. It’s all about how deep you want to go and how much extra motivation and support you’d like.

Wondering about the embodied change practice sessions?

In the course of coaching, you will be invited to do homework and practice new embodied skills. Sometimes this includes practicing visualisations, breath work, meditation, mindfulness, movement, or yoga. As part of all coaching packages, you may receive pre-recorded exercises to use on your own. But let’s be honest, it’s not always easy to stay motivated and create space to practice regularly alone. With embody change practice sessions, you have at least one live guided session in between each coaching appointment. These sessions will be tailored to you and your needs and goals and will support you in embodying your north star with greater ease and balance.

Is somatic coaching really worth it?

There’s a reason you’re reading this. Something is happening and you wonder if working with a professional life coach is worth the investment. There’s a good chance you’ve already been trying to do things on your own and either have reached a plateau or it hasn’t gotten you the results you want yet.

What if you decide today not to settle for just OK? Settling because things are good enough, safe enough, stable enough, enjoyable enough.

What if you really tuned into the fullness of who you are and lived more fully, more wholly aligned with what really matters to you?

What if you could be more fully present, engaged and content with the life you are living right now AND could tune into the possibilities of the future?

What if you listened right now to what your heart and body are telling you and took one tiny step in that direction?

It’s up to you.

If any of this resonates, maybe a free no-pressure, no obligation conversation could help you decide what your next step will be?
