Somatic Coaching
In a society where talk therapy is often viewed as the main option or modality for healing, somatic coaching offers an opportunity to notice, sit with, and experience the wisdom of the body in the present moment.
Whether you have depth and experience in talk therapy, or have never done talk therapy at all– somatic coaching is a window into the distinct language of your body.
50 or 75 min sessions
Life Threshold & Ritual Work
Birth* Story Witnessing
Ancestrally, ritual was a primary practice of demarcating and honoring a specific event, transition, or transformation in someone’s life. What happened to one person, rippled into the community– warranting an experience focused on witnessing and supporting.
Ritual work is an opportunity to encounter yourself in a way that is soul-filled and in connection to the ancestors, nature, and great mystery.
If you have experienced a deep life shift recently, or are ready to integrate a “happening” from another time in your life– ritual work may be for you.
Examples of life shifts/happenings: housing transitions, surgery, becoming a parent/caretaker, divorce, marriage, illness, grief, loss, leaving a job, ending a relationship/friendship, etc.
Complimentary 15 min consult available to determine best approach for your specific situation.
*Birth includes: live birth, stillbirth, termination/abortion, + miscarriage.
Traditionally, a birth story was told while members of the community sat at the feet of that person around a fire. The village of our ancestors created and held ceremony to help close the experience and acknowledge the new person who was born alongside the baby. Today, we have lost the understanding of how a birth story is a privilege to take in.
Pregnancy, birth, loss, and termination are unique thresholds of life that we most often experience in the care of others. However, when it is is over, we are left to put the pieces of it together alone. You may even notice feelings of tension, rage, grief, sadness, empowerment, pride. The range is endless.
Being witnessed is your right. Having someone to hold the pieces of your story as you explore them & your own understanding of them is paramount to how you will walk in the world moving forward. Birth story witnessing is an opportunity to heal ancestral or generational trauma, take back your power, or be reminded of your innate ways of knowing.
This support is also for the helpers (doulas, partners, etc) who also have their own experiences as the keepers of the space.
This time is spent one on one, online or via phone, and take about 75-90 minutes. I will hold a container for you as you walk me through your experience, pause to reflect on what your body is saying to you in those moments to offer somatic direction, and pause for the moments in your story that have a need for acknowledgement.
*Please note that I am not a licensed therapist. If I sense that deeper support is needed, I will always refer you and connect you with resources for established professional care.
