Whole Person Coaching and Therapy
Finding wellness and fulfilment from the inside out ​
A somatic approach to coaching
Somatics is a Greek word that means 'the whole person'. The coaching and therapy helps clients find transformation and growth, working through the whole 'body'.
​
The coaching is based on a powerful somatic model for why we behave the way we do, how we perceive, learn, relate act and think - and importantly, how we can change, using tools and physical exercises that you can use to work on yourself outside of the sessions
