New Session Offering - Somatic Coaching / Dialogue

We all evolve as individuals, don’t we?  Or maybe it is more accurate to say that we expand?  In any case, I’ve been feeling this quite a bit in myself lately.  I’ve become more in touch with and aware of who I am, what I’m about, and what I have to offer this world.

My work has always felt like a calling, something more than just a job or an avenue through which to make a living.  Throughout my career I have felt pulled or led in various directions, and I have made it a point to slow down and listen to this guidance.  I continue to feel the energy of evolution moving through, so I suspect that there will be no endpoint to this journey of change and expansion.

In my study of somatic concepts and somatic coaching, I’ve been feeling increasingly led toward offering sessions composed of dialogue, sharing, and the exploration of feelings and emotions.  The field of somatics acknowledges that the health of the body is intimately connected with the emotions.  We experience our emotions not in our minds, but in our bodies.

You will find a new session option in my online scheduler called Somatic Coaching / Dialogue Session.  This will involve sitting together and diving deep into the questions with curiosity.  These questions could be related to your body or they could be related to other things going on in your life.  I will offer presence and deep listening, and we will explore together.  If I feel a resonance in my body (somatic intuition) I may suggest we circle back to something and explore it further, with an openness to clues, new awareness, or further insights.

An important part of this for me is the element of what a close friend and I have named “horizontal relating.”  With this type of coaching or dialogue, we let go of the traditional doctor-patient relationship, as it is more vertical in nature.  Rather than give you my version of the answers, I will come alongside you and we will listen for the answers within you.  It is my belief that when we learn to trust ourselves and find our own answers, we grow toward greater empowerment.

Thank you for being on this journey with me!
