Somatic Coaching
for a more honest, embodied way of being human.
Sometimes understanding yourself isn't enough.
Real change asks something more of us than insight alone. It asks us to become willing to experience, question, and participate differently in our own lives. Our work together makes room for that process.
Through somatic awareness, psychological understanding, emotional integration, and -where desired - spiritual direction, we explore the relationship between your inner world and the way you actually live.
This might mean learning to recognize what your body is communicating, distinguishing an old protective response from a present-day truth, examining the beliefs shaping your choices, or making room for desires and convictions you've learned to set aside.
I offer thoughtful, individualized guidance for people who want more than another set of strategies for managing themselves.
The intention isn't to manufacture a better version of you. It's to cultivate the conditions in which a more honest, integrated, and fully inhabited life can emerge.
What I can help with
-
Emotional awareness & integration — Recognizing, understanding & making room for emotions rather than suppressing or being overtaken by them.
-
Nervous system & body awareness — Understanding your stress responses, protective patterns & internal cues.
-
Relationships & boundaries — Becoming more aware of your needs, desires, patterns of relating & capacity to communicate honestly.
-
Self-trust & discernment — Learning to recognize what is true for you & make choices with greater clarity & integrity.
What it's like working with me?
My work is offered through individual, one-to-one sessions, tailored to your needs, intentions, and season of life.
Sessions are available in person at my office in downtown Tacoma, or online.
What happens in a session?
Each session is an opportunity to slow down, pay attention, and explore what's happening beneath the surface of your everyday experience.
We might begin with something you're navigating in your relationships, work, or inner life. From there, we'll explore not only what you're thinking, but what you're noticing and experiencing in your body.
Depending on what feels useful, a session may include:
-
Conversation & reflection: Exploring your experiences, patterns, beliefs, and the questions you're carrying.
-
Somatic awareness: Bringing attention to physical sensations, impulses, emotions, and the body's responses.
-
Experiential practices: Using gentle, guided practices to help you notice, explore, and relate differently to your experience.
-
Integration & discernment: Making sense of what emerges and considering how it might inform the way you live, relate, and make choices.
There isn't a predetermined formula for every session. Sometimes the work involves slowing down and listening. Other times, it means exploring a familiar pattern from a new perspective or finding a more grounded way to respond.
The intention is not to force an outcome, but to create space for greater awareness, choice, and integration.
How often do we meet?
-
Consistency can help build familiarity, trust, and momentum. Many people find that meeting weekly or every other week offers a helpful rhythm, particularly when beginning.
-
The right frequency depends on your circumstances, capacity, and intentions. We'll find a pace that supports the work without making it another demand on your life.
