GROUP SOMATIC COACHING PROGRAMME
What to expect....
This small, intimate group coaching programme is aimed at exploring your concept of Joy through Creativity and Self-Expression, through connecting with your body, your emotions and what lights up your soul! With this comes accessing and acknowledging the more challenging or uncomfortable parts of ourself. This is an important part of the journey and I am here to offer you as much support as I can, within the parameters of my training and experience.
I have trained in both Trauma-informed and Nature-based Somatic Coaching, which has provided a well rounded view of our human experience, and how we are so often taught to think we are 'broken' and something to keep working on or fixing. I believe in the importance tuning back into the innate wisdom in our body, and how we are connected to the Seasons and Cycles around us.
SOMATIC EXPLORATIONS & EMBODIMENT
Somatic Practices offer understanding and support for your emotional, mental and physical wellbeing by working with your Soma (body) and felt-sense experience (sensation, thoughts, images and movement), Psyche (Mind-thoughts and beliefs) and Soul (who you are deep down, on a Spiritual level).
Somatic Coaching provides support, guidance and connection, to help you to explore the qualities of safety, joy and play, and provide gentle accountability, reflection and mirroring to help you understand yourself, and create a sustainable and long term wellbeing practice.
SESSIONS
We will meet live on Zoom for 8 out of 10 sessions. Each session will be tailored around a particular theme, which can be found in the syllabus, in the welcome guide. We will explore body-focused explorations, tools and embodiment practices to help you feel into safety, your inner experience and connect with new ways of being.
There will be space for discussion, sharing and holding space for each other's life experiences. Sharing is optional, as is having your camera on.
This coaching programme isn't a substitute for therapy, counselling or specific mental health support, but can work well alongside professional mental health support. If I feel that you would benefit from a talk therapist, counsellor or Somatic Therapist, I am happy to discuss this with you.
If I feel that there is a safeguarding issue before or during the programme, I am required by law to raise concern to a relevant professional. I can also refer you to a talk therapist or counsellor who works with the body / with a Somatic approach.
I will endeavour to support you as an individual in the best way that I can, within the boundaries of my Yoga & Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach Training.
