I am trained in the Strozzi Institute lineage and practices of somatic coaching and utilize a great deal of the Strozzi session structure and language in my coaching.

Somatics comes from the Greek root soma, meaning “the living organism in its wholeness.” This wholeness includes our habits, emotions, reactions, survival techniques, actions - the ways we think of, react, and move through the world. It is also influenced by our environments and experiences, including social and economic conditions. Our soma is a thing of becoming and can change. Somatic coaching works with and through the body to recognize our current embodiment, our shape, and possibilities for learning, change and transformation.

The goal of my coaching is to create more choice, more possibility in your life, to move towards what makes you feel alive, aligned, centered, and purposeful. Embodied practices are the through-lines in sessions that make change and growth identifiable and sustainable. They allow us to feel more, build capacity, and ultimately regulate and create opportunities for responses and choices that are aligned with our values and desires.
