What's Somatic Coaching?
Unlike traditional coaching, which primarily focuses on changing your thoughts, or therapy, which focuses on healing your past, Somatic Coaching uses the wisdom of your body in the present moment. Think about it: if you try to change your mind without addressing your body's natural reactions, you often find yourself stuck in old habits and automatic responses. That's because your body is wired for survival, with built-in stress responses like fight or flight. You can't think yourself out of a triggered state.
Somatic coaching is not just about your thoughts but your entire being.
You become aware of how your body and mind work together, understanding how your experiences affect you on both conscious and unconscious levels and learning how to regulate your nervous system.
In essence, somatic coaching is a transformational journey that recognizes the power of your whole-body intelligence. It doesn't just change your thoughts; it changes how you experience life and your relationships.
And the best part?
It's the fast track to the results you want.

When and why should I seek Somatic Coaching?
I believe good support is always helpful! It's an act of radical self-care when you seek the help you need, and choose not to stay mired in your pain. If you don't feel vital, and deeply connected with your power, it's time to get some support.
If your relationships are in trouble, chances are things aren't just going to work out on their own. The patterns and behaviors that have led to the difficulty will repeat until the root cause is addressed and healed.

Are you the right somatic coach for me?
Like any relationship, rapport and compatibility are essential. It may take some time to find the right person to work with. You should feel comfortable and safe with whomever you choose.
I am not for everyone. My style is candid, humorous, compassionate and outside-the-box. I work best with clients who like a loving yet no-bs approach, and who show up coachable. If I don't feel like I can help you, I will tell you that.
That said, I love my clients. I only work with people I know I can support. Having fun is part of the process, so we laugh a lot, which tackling the hard stuff.

What makes somatic coaching successful?
Your commitment to your own personal growth and healing is what makes somatic coaching work. You get as much out as you put in. It’s important to take time between sessions to think about the work that you’re doing, because it is hard work and it takes courage. You'll know it's successful when you feel good about your life, and your embodied life is healthy and thriving.
How much does somatic coaching cost?
My fee is based on the outcomes you wish to receive, and what I believe it will take to get you there. I am definitely not the most inexpensive practitioner out there. I don't bill hourly, preferring to give you an estimate at the beginning of our work together, so you know the financial investment you are making. You can pay in full, or in installments. I work with clients in 3, 6 and 12-month containers. Typically, a private engagement is somewhere between $3900 - $18000, again, depending on the scope of the work involved. Corporate agreements are priced depending on the scope of work involved, and the number of people held in the work.
I work with only three clients at a time, to make sure you have my full attention. I am 100% on your team.
Most people do not consider the entire cost of a transformational project, preferring to pay per session indefinitely. While my approach (think, remodeling your kitchen) may be unconventional, I find that it keeps us focused, and gives you an accurate budget for what your project requires.

What do I need to know about your practice?
Can I book an appointment online?
The way the process works is that we have a complimentary initial call, to determine whether we both work well together. At the time of that call, I'll share with you information about how my practice works. I work in intensive, short-term containers, depending on your needs and goals. I will then provide a written estimate of the bespoke plan I construct especially for you. Once you have submitted your deposit, we will schedule your first session. FYI, I often have a waiting list of about 3-4 months.
Is my information kept confidential?
Absolutely. Anything you discuss with me in somatic coaching sessions will be completely confidential. Additionally, I adhere to professional standards of confidentiality.
Do you offer online somatic sessions to folks not in San Francisco or Asheville?
Yes. Most work is online. Sometimes clients fly into Asheville for intensive work. I will fly to you for intensive engagements.
What is your cancellation policy?
I have a strict 48-hour cancellation policy. Should you need to cancel your appointment, kindly give me 48 hours' minimum notice. If you are more than 15 minutes late for your session without communication, the session is canceled and you are responsible for the full fee of your session.
