Somatic Coaching in Bend, OR

As a leadership and executive coach who’s dealt with her share of death and loss, I’ve benefited from learning to listen to the intuitive messages from my body and tap into inner wisdom.

We have two sources of direction: Our rational minds and our body intuition. In the Western world, we’ve been taught to ignore our body’s intelligence and trust our minds — but our minds and thoughts can lie to us. The body tells the truth.

As a somatic coach, I help people like you learn to become more attuned to this well of intuitive knowing so you can feel confident and decisive.

How is Somatic Coaching different from Somatic Experience Therapy?

Somatic experience coaching begins where somatic experience therapy leaves off.

Therapy is wonderful, but therapists focus on helping people move from dysfunction to baseline functional. Somatic coaching uses similar tools as somatic therapy, but helps take you from functional to peak performance.

My unique approach blends mindfulness meditation, body intelligence, positive psychology and adult development research to awaken your inner knowing.
