Somatic coaching is a body-based approach to self-awareness, personal growth and creating lasting change from the inside out.

Rather than focusing only on thoughts or behaviors, we also pay attention to what’s happening in your nervous system, your body, your emotions, and your patterns of protection. Often, our bodies tell a story long before we can put it into words.

My work is trauma-informed, which means we move at a pace that supports your nervous system rather than pushing beyond what feels safe or manageable.

Many women have already spent years trying to think differently.

Sometimes insight alone isn’t enough because the nervous system still experiences the world as unsafe.

Somatic coaching doesn’t replace reflection – it expands it by including the body’s experience. Rather than trying to think your way into feeling better, we gently explore what your body is communicating and create opportunities for your nervous system to experience greater safety, flexibility, and capacity.

Part of working with me is also consists of psychoeducation, so learning about the nervous system while working with it. This way you profit even more from this work, because you actually learn more about yourself and your body for the future.

Working in a trauma-informed way means recognising that all of us have experiences that have shaped the way we relate to ourselves, to others and to the world. Experiences that have left an imprint on our nervous system.

Trauma occurs when something was too much, too fast, or too sudden – especially when there was no one there to hold space for us at the time of the event(s).

Attachment and developmental trauma, in particular, are more common than we think. The effects of these early experiences often manifest as chronic exhaustion, hypervigilance, feelings of numbness or disconnection, a tendency to become overwhelmed quickly, intense irritability, and the feeling of never truly being present – signs of a chronically dysregulated nervous system.

In our work together, we don’t push, analyse or overwhelm your system.

We move at a pace that feels manageable for you, creating a space where your body can gradually begin to soften and feel safe enough to explore what wants to be seen.

No.

Many women I work with don’t identify one single traumatic event.

Instead, they describe years of chronic stress, caregiving, perfectionism, people-pleasing or fawning, chronic illness, difficult relationships, getting overwhelmed easily or difficulties in motherhood.

If you have experienced single traumatic events or are aware of such, that is okay, too.

Only, if you are experiencing acute or severe psychological distress, I always recommend working with a licensed therapist alongside or instead of working with me. This is something I assess in a free discovery call.

Generally, no.

My work isn’t about going back into painful memories, reliving past experiences, or intentionally bringing up trauma in order to heal it.

Instead, we focus on what’s happening right here, right now – what you’re noticing in your body, your emotions, your nervous system, and your present-day experience.

Sometimes, as we slow down, an old memory or feeling may naturally arise. If that happens, we don’t force it away, but we also don’t dive into it. We stay anchored in the present, moving at a pace your nervous system can comfortably hold.

The intention is never to overwhelm your system. Instead, we work gently to create more safety, more capacity, and more connection with yourself – in the present.

Not at all.

Most women who come to me, have never before experienced somatic coaching or other body-based approaches. They often approach me because they have noticed that cognitive approaches haven’t been helping them (anymore).

So, whether this is your first experience with body-based work or you’ve explored somatic practices before, you’re welcome exactly as you are.

There’s nothing you need to prepare or know beforehand.
