Somatic coaching is a body-based approach to personal transformation. Unlike traditional coaching, which focuses mostly on your thoughts, or therapy, which often looks to the past, somatic coaching works with what your body is experiencing right now. Your body holds patterns that talking alone can't change. The freeze during conflict. The tension in your chest. The urge to shut down or flee. These are nervous system responses, not mindset problems. You can't think your way out of a triggered state, but you can learn to shift it. Somatic coaching helps you notice how your body, emotions, and thoughts interact. You begin to track your internal patterns, regulate your nervous system, and respond with more clarity and choice. This work changes more than your thoughts. It changes how you experience your life, your relationships, and your sense of power. It is direct, effective, and rooted in the intelligence of your whole self.
When and why should I seek Somatic Coaching?
Because you deserve support that actually helps. Seeking help is an act of radical self-care. It’s a refusal to stay stuck in pain, disconnection, or confusion. If you’re not feeling vital, alive, or in touch with your power, that’s a sign. You don’t have to wait for things to get worse. If your relationships are unraveling, your body is sending stress signals, or the same emotional patterns keep looping, it’s time to do something different. Most of the time, things don’t just resolve on their own. The behaviors and beliefs that created the struggle will keep repeating until you interrupt them at the root. Somatic coaching helps you get to that root. This is body-based, trauma-informed support that moves beyond talk. When you work with your nervous system, not just your thoughts, change becomes real and it lasts.
Are you the right somatic coach for me?
Like any relationship, the connection between client and coach matters. You should feel safe, seen, and able to be fully yourself. The right fit can take time to find. Trust your instincts. I’m not the right somatic coach for everyone. My style is candid, curious, sometimes irreverent. I bring compassion, precision, humor, and a body-based approach to deep transformation. I work best with people who are ready to show up, try things, and get real. If I don’t think I can help, I’ll tell you that—transparency is part of the work. That said, I love my clients. I only work with people I know I can support. This work can be intense, but it can also be joyful. Laughter, play, and creativity are part of the healing process too.
What makes somatic coaching successful?
Somatic coaching works when you show up for it. Your commitment to your own healing, presence, and practice is what creates change. You’ll get out of this process what you’re willing to put in. Between somatic therapy sessions, take time to notice your body’s responses, reflect on what’s shifting, and keep returning to what matters. This is deep work. It takes courage. You’ll know it’s working when your life starts to feel more aligned. You'll noticed that your nervous system is steadier. Your relationships feel more honest and connected. Most importanly, when your body begins to feel like a place you want to live. That’s how somatic transformation shows up.
How much does somatic coaching cost?
My rate is comparable to what you’d pay an experienced therapist. I charge by the session and do not accept insurance, by design. This allows me to offer work that is responsive, personalized, and outside the limitations of diagnostic codes and medical models.
I know that paying out of pocket can be a stretch, and I take that seriously. While private sessions may not be accessible for everyone, I do my best to offer other ways to engage—through group experiences, occasional sliding scale options, and free resources.
This work is focused and efficient. You won’t be stuck circling the same patterns. Clients often begin to notice meaningful change quickly, and the tools you gain are ones you’ll carry into every relationship for the rest of your life.
Investing in this work means choosing growth, connection, and long-term transformation. For many people, that choice becomes a major turning point.
What do I need to know about your practice?
Can I book a somatic coaching appointment online? All new clients begin with a complimentary consultation call. This is an opportunity for us to determine whether we are a good fit for working together. During that call, I will share more about how my practice is structured. I offer intensive, short-term containers tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Is my information kept confidential? Yes. Everything shared in our sessions is held in strict confidence. I follow professional standards for confidentiality and maintain a safe, respectful space for our work.
Do you offer online somatic coaching sessions for people outside San Francisco or New York City? Yes. Most of my work is conducted online and accessible from anywhere. Some clients travel to Asheville for in-person intensive sessions, and I am also available to travel for in-person work as part of a larger engagement. What is your cancellation policy? I require a minimum of 48 hours' notice for cancellations. If you cancel within less than 48 hours or arrive more than 15 minutes late without prior communication, you will be charged the full session fee.
