What is Somatic
Intimacy & Relationship Coaching?
THE ONLY THING YOU SHOULD TAKE PERSONALLY IS LOVE
Few of us have learned the art of how to connect and communicate from a place of deep intimacy, respect and honesty. It's not our faults, it's simply not often a part of our human experience growing up. And yet, we are somehow supposed to just know how to be in healthy relationships, friendships and family ties without being taught these imperative tools.
In Somatic Coaching we learn in a "relationship lab" - which simply means we learn practical tools in real time. We will uncover your core desires, pleasure maps, how to communicate our boundaries, share our needs, listen to feedback, engage in constructive conflict and deep repair work.
Most often connection is lost because of years of resentment, distrust, and micro paper cuts that eat away at the foundation of any relationship. This breakdown robs us of the juicy connection with ourselves and we believe there is something wrong with us or we are no longer interested in intimacy.
I work with the body, emotions, spirit and mind to help reset and realign what has fallen into disharmony and persistent conflict, so intimacy and connection can naturally bloom again.
Many people associate the word "Intimacy" with sex. But it's really a way of life. I call it Intimacy with Life. To read more about my coaching philosophy, click here.
HEARTACHE TO
HEART OPENING
Healing Heartbreak
I work with individuals and couples that may be going through a breakup, restructuring from romance to friendship, or want to release the past and welcome new love.
If you are wanting to bring CONSCIOUS AWARENESS and peace to a difficult ending or new beginning, I bring shamanic, healing arts and ceremonial practices to couples and individuals ready to break the cycle of how endings and beginnings can often look in our modern culture. During transitional times there can be high anxiety, deep grief, anger or confusion that be hard to navigate alone. Spiritual and somatic work helps to honor the energy a couple has shared and release it with vulnerability, compassion and grace.

Work With Me
I constantly pinch myself in the work I do. To bear witness when a beloved client or couple discovers and reconnects with parts of themselves and their partners they have been out of harmony with for months or even years, is breathtaking. Seeing clients find compassion for themselves or couple soften past painful resentments and finally connect after years of disconnection, I walk away with goosebumps and tears in my eyes. What a sight to behold!
I combine my unique education, Masters in Transpersonal Psychology & Consciousness Studies, Shamanic Apprenticeship in Earth Wisdom, Somatic Intimacy & Relationship Coaching and my foundation as an Artist, to help guide clients into a deep exploration of energy that is out of integrity and the path back to sacred balance.
If you have tried other therapies for your relationships and are looking for practical, spiritual and emotional tools, I would be honored to walk along side you on your journey.
COACHING PHILOSOPHY
As an artist, I look at the world through a lens of intimacy. Art requires you to become intimate with your emotions, experiences, the world around you. I believe we are all the artists of our lives and being alive is by nature, intimacy in motion.
Sadly our culture doesn't teach the art of intimacy and our speedy lives don't invite us to slow down long enough to feel and integrate true intimacy.
When clients come to me, we work together in a relationship lab- which simply means we learn the art of intimacy, mapping our internal worlds of ourselves and our partners in real time. This allows for deeper integration, to practice intimacy rather than just "talking" about concepts.
COACHING PROCESS
I work intuitively with clients, by deeply listening to what is being said and more importantly at times, what is not being said.
With couples or individuals, the process is the same. I always work with the individual first. Intimacy always starts with the Self. As the famous quote by Aristotle says "Knowing yourself is the is the beginning of all wisdom". We can not offer true connection with anyone else from our beloveds to our Mother Earth, until we first connect with ourselves. Our self awareness is the fertile soil for all relationships.
By beginning with individuals in couples work, I ensure each person has time and space to speak freely, without the pressure of a partner's critical voice. I can then clearly hear and attune to what works needs to be done, as it is often not where we think it is.
Depending on what challenges are present, we then come together in couples work. Both couples and individuals have the option to build up sessions to an intensive session which is a 3-4 hour block and allows for much deeper healing when approaching deeper trauma. Intensive sessions move through heavy emotional, somatic and energetic blocks with ceremony, sound healing and shamanic practice.
