Let’s have fun healing the embodied way

I’m a licensed psychotherapist and a certified somatic coach for women. While this isn’t therapy or counseling, you’ll be held in the safety of a therapeutic container as you experience embodied life coaching.

Therapy focuses on diagnosing, treating, and providing psychological interventions for mental health challenges or conditions. 

Life coaching doesn’t involve any of the above. It’s an educational, future-oriented approach that helps you identify and reach your goals, build meaningful skills, and transform your life.

Somatic or embodiment life coaching for women blends conversation, mindfulness, movement, breath, and reflection to help women actualize their dream lives.

We’ll focus on increasing awareness of your body and shifting the patterns you’ve been carrying to support your nervous system regulation, growth, and overall well-being.

My work is online, so you can be located anywhere around the world! Coaching sessions happen via Zoom.

Online somatic coaching allows you to access the benefits of coaching from the safety, comfort, and convenience of your home or preferred location. No need to deal with commuting, traffic, or parking.

I’ll email you an encrypted and password-protected Zoom link before our sessions. Just click on the link, and I’ll be right there waiting for you in our virtual room.

Timing:

• Carve out 50-75 minutes for our session.

• Enter the meeting room 5-10 minutes before our start time to ensure all the techy things and updates are squared away, and give yourself a few minutes to settle before we begin. 

Location:

• Find a quiet, private, and spacious place to take our call, with a comfortable surface to lie down (a rug or yoga mat are fabulous!).

• Making your space feel secure by closing the door, shutting the blinds, or playing white noise allows you to tune inward and express yourself fully.

What to wear: Whatever makes you feel good and allows you to move your body with ease.

What to bring:

• A device with audio and video capabilities (tablet, laptop, desktop computer, or phone), preferably set up so you don’t have to hold it

• Downloaded and updated Zoom app

• A reliable internet connection

• Headphones or earbuds to easily hear each other (recommended, but not necessary)

• Extra props: blanket, bolster/pillow, eye mask, or anything else you might need to be comfortable for the regulation portion of the session

You’re also welcome to bring any other items that help you feel extra cozy and supported: a cup of tea, a journal, socks, etc. This is your sacred space to connect within, so make it yours. Whatever you bring will be perfect!

You don’t need somatic or embodiment experience to embark on this journey.

If you’re feeling called to try something beyond traditional therapy or conventional healing, or if the blend of talk, regulation, and movement resonates, somatic coaching might be a supportive option.

All offerings are guided, move at your pace, and honor your unique healing journey.
