Mind body coaching
Mind-Body Coaching is a holistic, body-centered approach, that integrates somatics and mindfulness to support change. This method delves into thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relational patterns, offering a blend of deep processing and action-oriented techniques to propel transformation. Drawing from various body-centered therapy and somatic coaching principles, including Gestalt, Hakomi, and Mindfulness, Mind-Body Coaching provides a comprehensive toolkit to help individuals move through transitions, navigate challenges, reach their goals, overcome stagnant patterns, and fortify relationships.
somatic parts work
Somatic Parts Work integrates the methodology of Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and other trauma-informed models to support you in healing underlying past trauma and pain. IFS is grounded on the idea that our inner world consists of a system made up of various parts (sub-personalities). In an attempt to protect us from pain, our parts may conflict with each other and act in unhelpful ways. Somatic Parts Work helps us to work with these parts in order to experience greater internal harmony and cohesion.
Through specific practices, this method fosters a strong connection to one’s core self, promoting integration of mind and body for an increased sense of wholeness and compassion towards self and others.
somatic attachment work
Somatic Attachment Work operates through the lens of early childhood experiences and influences. It blends somatics with attachment therapy concepts to address relational wounds and subsequent safety seeking behaviors, coping skills and defense strategies that were a direct result of these experiences. This approach aids in tapping into the coach client alliance coupled with your body's intelligence to foster a deep inner connection, enhance self-advocacy and boundary setting skills, and establish healthy relationships.
somatic trauma Work
Somatic Trauma Work delves into the intricate relationship between the body and different forms of trauma and recovery. By focusing on the body, this approach aims to reestablish a feeling of security within oneself, address past experiences, manage feelings, alleviate tension, foster trust in interpersonal connections, nurture self-kindness, and mend lingering traumas. Grounded in practices such as resourcing, movement, creative expression, breathing, and mindfulness of bodily sensations, it empowers individuals to access their innate wisdom for the purpose of healing.
somatic Emdr
Somatic EMDR combines body-focused techniques with traditional EMDR therapy to address trauma effects. The approach helps process implicit and explicit memories, reduce distress, and promote a sense of safety. Key interventions include supporting embodiment, managing distress, building internal resources, and releasing body tension. This therapy aims to identify pain sources, change negative thoughts, restore vitality, and enhance safety while reconnecting with the body.
inner relationship focusing
Inner Relationship Focusing (IRF) is a practice that helps individuals connect with themselves, boost confidence and clarity, and progress in areas affected by inner struggles. This process guides you to acknowledge inner emotions gently and fosters relationships with challenging feelings like inner critics. By engaging with various aspects of one's being with compassion, IRF can bring relief to inner conflicts. It is a method of self-exploration that allows one to access the body's wisdom for positive life changes. Learning IRF promotes self-acceptance, decreases triggers from others, and enhances listening skills for better relationships.
emotional healing
Emotional Healing allows individuals to reconnect with their authentic emotional self. Human emotions are dynamic, meant to change and flow rather than remain stagnant. Emotional wellness surpasses mere happiness; it involves being attuned to one’s thoughts, feelings, moods, and behaviors. Unaddressed emotions can lead to unnecessary pain due to pent-up emotional energy. By learning to identify and acknowledge feelings, individuals can respond in ways that align with their values and aspirations, empowering them to adapt to different situations and relationships.
companioning
Companioning is fundamentally about embodying a stance of being fully present without judgment or agenda when supporting clients in their heartache and healing. It requires creating a safe emotional space for individuals to explore their feelings. Sharing stories and recognizing one’s needs creates a deep connection and empathy during times of loss. By holding space for someone's pain with a compassionate heart, one can offer solace and support.
