COACHING

I'm glad you asked! As we get started, there are a few steps:

1. Complete the Discovery Questionnaire.
   This will help me understand your unique circumstances and familiarize myself with your situation, desires, and goals, so we can focus our time on our call on the things that matter most to you. 
2. 30 min Free Discovery Call
   It's important to me to know if my coaching approach is a right fit for you. In our call, I will share with you my approach, what to expect, and any questions you may have. We will decide if the fit is there to proceed. 
3. Purchase your Coaching Package
   I offer 1:1 personal coaching and a somatic group coaching program. My 1:1 personal coaching is invite only.
   
   Both programs have a very limited number of seats as I want to ensure I am able to provide the level of support and focus my clients require at any given time.
   
   Many like the personalized nature of my 1:1 coaching session. Others like the energy and camaraderie they find in my group program. There is no wrong answer, only what you feel suits you best.

I am a certified life coach. Regular life coaching, without somatic mind-body work, lives only in the mind and I refer to it as cognitive coaching.

This coaching practice, in itself, is already a powerful practice that holds space for the blossoming thoughts you may require and explore in your sessions. Sessions are focused on the mind and can be transformative. What is the future you want to create, talk through, and explore? What are the underlying feelings that come for you, as well as the values, desires, and limiting beliefs that may be lying beneath those thoughts. 

In Somatic Coaching, I help bring an awareness of your body into your practice. The reason this is powerful is because we experience much in our lives through our body - although many of us do not realize it.

The body holds deep wisdom and memory, and is often the first stop to your instinct and niggly feeling you have in reaction to situations and circumstances.

Only, most of us have been trained to ignore those feelings and to think on "shoulds" and obligation, duty, social norms. 

When you tap into the body and become aware of what is coming up within your body, you gain access to a vast reservoir of information about how you truly feel, what aligns, and what you long for. 

Both coaching practices are powerful and effective. I integrate both in my practice. 

Not all coaches are trauma-informed and not all types of coaching require being trauma-informed. 

However, being trauma-informed is important to me for two major reasons. 

1. First is due to the kind of coaching I do. I am a transformational somatic coach who helps people navigate major life changes, which often involve grief, loss, and old blockages.
2. As a somatic mind-body coach, I am mindful that with many of the body's memories and wisdom we can tap into, sometimes, old feelings and memories can be released. The nature of somatic work is awareness and release. 

While it is important to understand and recognize that the scope of my work will not involve unpacking past experiences with you, it has remained important to me to be trauma-informed and to approach our work with sensitivity and care to maintain your feelings of safety. 

Life is unpredictable. As you start working with me in our regular personal or group coaching sessions, there may be a time where something comes up out of left field that leaves you feeling destabilized.

In these moments, you may feel an urgency to work on recentering and creating a plan of action. I'm here for that.

This emergency session is designed for that. This is why I include a 30-minute emergency session within all my coaching packages, where we will have laser-focus on your issue and work on getting you feeling grounded and setting new goals and a plan in place to tackle it.

For many, after our group or personal sessions, they feel good with what they have worked out and where they are in life. They feel like they have a plan and they are confidently following through. 

After some time, something may come up that they wish to work through.

This is where the top-up coaching session comes in. This additional top-up session is a gift from me and free of charge. It is my way of appreciating you for the steps you are taking in your journey and the extra support in case you want to come back to work through something. Just contact me and we will book something in.

After this initial free top-up, additional top-up session packages are made available exclusively for Alumni clients.

All coaching packages start in accordance with the cohort you have signed up for. 

For 1:1 coaching, there is flexibility in the start date, but the month we start is fixed. As you start, you and the other clients I accept will start within days or weeks of each other.

For group coaching, the start date is set.

My somatic practice follows a curriculum and natural arc. As a result, you will find that you are building on the knowledge and skills you learn in previous session.

As a result, it is essential you are in attendance in all sessions, especially the first 4.

My books open for the next cohort once the current cohort is full.

Booking according to cohort supports you in two ways.

1. As we build our community, you will find that you can share our experiences and the things you are working through, following a similar cadence and arc as others in your cohort
2. When we are in session, I am able to dedicate my focus and time on your cohort. 

My 1:1 somatic coaching curriculum is a 8 week program, and the group coaching program has a 6-week arc. 

All programs adhere to packages because somatic coaching has a compounding effect. You will require time to build awareness and to learn the techniques we will work on before we can start on accessing and understanding your conditioned tendencies and limiting beliefs.

While many of my clients share break-throughs in their initial and subsequent sessions, this is not an expectation. Sometimes, it can take some time to work through what is required to access a limiting belief that is holding us back.

I currently do offer a smaller package of 3 sessions as a temporary trial offer that involves an introduction to somatic coaching. This package does not include work around conditioned tendencies and limiting beliefs. If you are interested, please message me directly to inquire.

What I have found in working with my clients is that what you put into my program is what you will get out of it. 

Like many other things in life, somatics requires practice, an openness to learning, and integration into your daily life. 

If you stay open, commit to the process, follow my guidance, and put in the work, you will find transformation.

Yes, absolutely! You will receive a $75 credit for any of my online courses, session packages, or resources for each friend you refer to me who becomes a client.

I want your experience to be interactive and personal, so I limit each group to a maximum of 8 participants, but target 5.

This gives the group the spaciousness to follow our curriculum, ask questions, engage, and also interact with others.
