THE ART OF SLOWING DOWN AND FINDING YOUR OWN RHYTHM
"Change involves leaning into a pattern that is nourishing and moving away from a pattern that is draining."
—Deb Dana and Courtney Rolfe (2024, "Polyvagal Prompts: Finding Connection and Joy through Guided Explorations")
Somatic Coaching
What is Somatics? I hear that question all the time. Soma means body, so it essentially means a practice or awareness that centers or includes the body.
Why would you want to include your body in the coaching process? Your body has been with you every step of the way, recording all of your experiences. As Bessel van der Kolk describes, "the body keeps the score."
By including a somatic lens in the coaching process, you will discover new information from your body and increase your understanding of what you need and how you want to slowly and gently change.
Would you like to gently change?
“The body is home to the senses, feelings, thoughts, breath, memories, dreams, and all of life’s experiences; it is the bedrock of who we are."
—Tina Stromsted (2019, "Witnessing: In the eyes of the beholder")
