Trauma Coaching: A Gentle Path to Healing Through Somatic Practice

When life hands us challenges, our bodies hold onto the stories, sometimes in ways we may not fully understand. Trauma coaching offers a gentle, supportive space to explore and heal from these experiences. Unlike traditional therapy, this approach trusts that your body knows what it needs. It’s about learning to listen and trusting yourself to move through each step at your own pace.
Understanding Somatic Healing
Somatic healing is the process of tuning into the body to release the effects of trauma. It’s more than just a mental exercise; it’s a way of working directly with the body’s wisdom. Through gentle guidance and presence, you’re invited to reconnect with the sensations, movements, and breath that ground you. This kind of healing honors what you already carry within you and supports you as you tap into your natural resilience.
My Approach to Trauma Coaching
Every individual’s journey with trauma is unique, and so should be the approach to healing. I work with clients by integrating body-centered techniques that respect where you are. I draw on a variety of modalities including Hakomi, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic IFS,and attachment theory, to gently guide you towards reconnecting with your sense of safety, trust, and balance. It’s not about fixing or changing you—it’s about partnering with you on your healing journey, trusting in the wisdom of your body and mind.
The Benefits of Trauma Coaching
Trauma coaching helps you reconnect with yourself, both physically and emotionally. You may notice increased emotional resilience, an ability to regulate your nervous system, and a deeper trust in yourself. Working together, we create a space where you feel safe to explore these things at a pace that respects your unique rhythm and experience.
Who Can Benefit?
If you’re navigating grief, feeling overwhelmed by stress, or experiencing relationship difficulties, somatic trauma coaching could be a compassionate path for you. This work is for anyone ready to explore their body’s stories, gently unwinding what has been held inside. Whether you’ve experienced trauma recently or it’s something that happened long ago, somatic coaching meets you where you are today.
