What is Somatic Coaching?

1

Somatic coaching is a body-based approach that helps you manage anxiety by tuning into physical sensations, breath, and nervous system patterns. Instead of just talking about stress, we work with the body to release tension, build resilience, and create a deeper sense of calm from the inside out. Somatic coaching uses evidence-based somatic techniques that address anxiety at its physiological and emotional roots, including gentle movements, breath work, and body awareness practices that help to shift from fight-flight-freeze into states of safety, grounded-ness, and inner peace.

What is the difference between somatic coaching and therapy?

2

Somatic coaching is not the same as therapy. While they both focus on the body-mind connection, they use different methods. 

Somatic coaching is a form of life coaching. The focus is on the future and taking action and a lot of emphasis is put on developing new skills and habits. Somatic coaching clients are looking to improve themselves. 

Somatic therapy addresses and heals emotional, psychological, or trauma-related issues. The focus is on past trauma and dysfunction. Therapy clients often deal with mental health challenges and trauma.

While coaching can complement therapy by providing support, motivation, and practical strategies, it is not a substitute for therapy when therapy is needed.
