Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is somatic coaching?
Somatic coaching is a body-centered approach to healing and growth. It invites you to reconnect with your body’s wisdom, regulate your nervous system, and access deeper self-awareness. Sessions include embodied practices like breathwork, movement, mindful awareness, and guided inquiry to help you shift patterns, heal gently, and feel more like you.

​

2. What is the difference between somatic coaching and therapy?
While both can be deeply healing, somatic coaching is future-oriented and focused on growth, integration, and embodied transformation. Therapy often explores and treats mental health diagnoses, whereas coaching supports thriving, empowerment, and personal development. Coaching may explore the past when needed but is not clinical or diagnostic. If you're currently in therapy, somatic coaching can complement it beautifully.

3. Who is this work for?

This work is for anyone with a body who wants to feel more alive, whole, and connected. It’s for people who are committed to growth, value process over quick fixes, and want to include body, mind, emotion, and spirit on their path. Whether you're overwhelmed, stuck, highly sensitive, or simply seeking deeper alignment, this work meets you where you are.

It is sacred work—an invitation to ground, center, and build resilience in an often chaotic world. It helps you connect to your inner knowing, develop confidence and self-trust, and accept all parts of yourself with compassion. This kind of integration leads to real wholeness.

I work especially well with deep feelers, empaths, helpers, creatives, and those navigating transitions. Many people come to this work after trying talk therapy or self-help and still feeling something is missing. That missing piece is often the body.

Everyone can benefit from this gentle, present-moment, body-led approach— Somatic work brings you home to yourself.

​

4. What happens in a session?

Each session unfolds as a gentle invitation back to yourself. We begin by slowing down—checking in, grounding, and listening deeply to what your body and heart need most in the moment. From there, we may explore somatic practices like body awareness, breathwork, nervous system regulation, mindful reflection, or parts work. Sessions can include guided imagery, mindset shifts, creative expression, and more—always at your pace.

Rooted in trauma-informed care and embodied presence, this work supports emotional regulation, inner resilience, and a deeper connection to your true self.

​

5. What does somatic really mean?
“Somatic” comes from the Greek word soma, meaning the living body. This approach sees your body not as a machine to fix or a mind to override, but as a wise, living process. When we include the body in healing, we access more wholeness, clarity, and lasting change.

6. Do I need to have experience with somatic work to start?
Not at all. All of you is welcome—whether you’re new to embodiment or have been on this path a long time. I’ll guide you gently, at your pace. Curiosity is the only requirement.

​

7. Can we meet just once, or do I need a package?

While I do offer single sessions, I only recommend them as a trial to see if we’re a good fit, for follow-ups to ongoing work, or as a “tune-up” if you’ve worked with me before. Because this work is deep, relational, and unfolds over time, it can’t be rushed—or contained in a single session. The body doesn’t operate on a schedule, and lasting transformation requires space, safety, and consistency. To truly experience the benefits, I recommend weekly sessions for at least 3 months. This is not a technique or a quick fix—it’s a process of coming home to yourself.

​

8. What if I’m nervous about starting or reaching out?
That’s completely normal. It takes courage to begin something new—especially something that asks you to feel. I’m here to support you, not push you. We go at your pace. You can start with a free consultation to see if this feels like a good fit.

​

9. How long does it take to feel a shift?
That varies by person. Because this work goes deep and honors your natural pace, it's not a quick fix. I recommend at least 3 months of weekly sessions to build momentum and integration. Growth happens over time. Some clients feel a shift after the first session, while for others it's a slower unfolding. This work supports lasting transformation, not surface-level change.

​

10. What kind of results or benefits can I expect?
While I don’t promise specific results (because every journey is unique), many clients report feeling:
– Less overwhelm and stress
– More grounded and present
– Greater emotional resilience
– Stronger boundaries
– A deeper connection with their intuition
– Renewed self-trust and inner calm
– Clarity about life direction
– A sense of being more fully themselves

​

11. Why is embodiment important in this work?
Embodiment helps you move from thinking about your life to living it more fully. It brings awareness into your body, helping you reconnect with inner signals, needs, boundaries, and knowing. For highly sensitive people (HSPs), this is especially valuable: embodiment grounds sensitivity, creates internal spaciousness, and allows you to process gently and feel safe in your own skin. It helps you sort what’s yours from what’s not, reclaim your intuition, and access resilience from within.

​

12. Why is embodiment important for highly sensitive people (HSPs)?
Highly sensitive people often feel overstimulated, emotionally flooded, or disconnected. Embodiment helps ground sensitivity, regulate the nervous system, and create safe space inside to process life gently. It helps you sort what’s yours from what’s not, reclaim your intuition, and feel more at home in yourself. Learning to listen to your body brings clarity, inner safety, and resilience.

​

13. What if I’ve tried many things before and still feel stuck?
Many clients come to me after trying talk therapy, mindset work, or self-help and still feel disconnected. This work adds the missing piece—your body. When you include the body, you access deeper layers of change, resilience, and self-connection. You may be surprised by what becomes possible.

​

14. How are sessions held?
All sessions are virtual via Zoom. You’ll want a private, quiet space where you feel safe and comfortable to move, reflect, and be fully present.

​

15. What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Once purchased, sessions and packages are non-refundable. You can reschedule sessions within the time frame of your plan or within the same month is individual session. I kindly ask for at least 48 hours’ notice for rescheduling; otherwise, the session may be forfeited.

16. What if I have more questions?
I'm here for them. You can reach out anytime or book a free 15-minute consultation. Whether you're just curious or ready to begin, I'd love to connect.
