What happens in a Somatic Coaching session?

If you’re curious about Somatic Coaching and wondering what a session with me looks like, here’s a simple, friendly overview to help you feel more at ease.

How We Start

Sessions usually last around an hour. If we haven’t already chosen a specific topic to focus on, we’ll begin with a relaxed chat to see what’s present for you. From there, we’ll do a short “drop-in” — think of it as a 5-minute guided meditation. It’s a chance to quiet the mind, release surface-level stress, and start connecting more deeply with your body.

This gentle pause helps us shift from thinking-mode into feeling-mode — which is where somatic work really begins.

Setting the Focus

Next, we’ll talk about what’s coming up for you right now — whether that’s a personal challenge, a goal, or something you’d like clarity on. This part is similar to traditional coaching: we explore what’s going on, how you're feeling, and what you'd like to shift.

Rather than offering advice, I’ll ask thoughtful questions to help you get clear on your own truth. It’s all about creating space for your own insights to emerge.

The Somatic Experience

Here’s where the magic really happens! We’ll spend most of the session tuning into your body — using simple breathing, gentle movement, and awareness practices as we explore any areas of tension or emotion that show up as we bring attention to your chosen topic.

By staying present with what your body is holding, you’ll often notice things begin to soften and shift. With your mind quieter and your body more open, it becomes easier to hear your intuition — your “gut feeling” — rather than just thinking your way through something.

This process can lead to powerful releases, fresh insights, and a clearer sense of what’s next.

Wrapping Up

To close, we’ll take a few minutes to reflect on what came up, what you’re taking away, and any next steps that feel supportive. Whether it’s a new perspective, a decision, or simply feeling more grounded — you’ll leave the session with something meaningful to carry forward.
