Be Your Real Self and Follow Your Dreams:
The Most Effective Way To Calm Your Mind
Have you ever felt like you're wearing a mask in your life? Or maybe you have big dreams but something holds you back? Somatic coaching can help you be your true self AND reach for bigger goals!
What Is Somatic Coaching?
Somatic coaching helps you use your body's wisdom to make changes in your life. "Somatic" simply means "body." This type of coaching believes your body knows important things that your thinking mind can't figure out alone.
Unlike regular coaching that focuses on your thoughts and goals, somatic coaching works with your whole self - body, mind, and feelings.
Why Your Body Is So Important
Your body knows things your mind might miss:
Your body remembers the real you.
Before you learned to act how others wanted, your body moved freely and showed your true feelings. That natural you is still there.
Your body shows what matters to you.
When you think about something that really lights you up, your body gets energized. This can point to what you're meant to do.
Your body shows where you're holding back.
Tight shoulders, upset stomach, or feeling tired can show where you're not being true to yourself or your dreams.
The Science Made Easy:
How Your Body and Mind Work Together
Here's the simple science behind somatic coaching:
Your body has memory.
Just like your muscles remember how to ride a bike, your body remembers emotional experiences too. When something scary happened in the past, your body created a protection pattern. These patterns can keep running even when you don't need them anymore.
You have a "safety system."
Your nervous system has three main settings: To be your real self and follow your dreams, you need to be in that first setting most of the time.
Your "calm and connected" setting lets you feel safe, be creative, and dream big
Your "alert and ready" setting helps when there's danger
Your "shutdown" setting activates when things feel too overwhelming
Your body talks to you.
That "gut feeling" is real! Your stomach and heart actually send more signals to your brain than your brain sends to them. When you pay attention to these feelings, you make better choices.
You can create new patterns.
Your brain can change at any age. When you practice new ways of responding to situations, you create new pathways in your brain. It's like making a new trail in the woods - the more you walk it, the clearer it becomes.
What Happens in Somatic Coaching
Here's what we do in our work together:
Finding Your True Self
You'll learn to tell the difference between what you really want and what you learned you "should" want. This helps you make choices that feel right for you.
Listening to Your Body's Clues
Together, we'll pay attention to how your body feels when you're on the right track. Does your chest feel open? Do you breathe easier? These are clues about your true path.
Letting Go of Old Patterns
You'll spot and release the physical habits that have kept you playing small or hiding your real self.
Practicing New Ways of Being
Through simple exercises, you'll learn how to stay connected to both your authentic self and your bigger vision, especially when things get challenging.
The Changes You'll See

There's a special kind of happiness that comes from being your real self while doing what matters to you.
