How Somatic Coaching Works for Women.
If you’ve ever wondered, “What is somatic coaching?”, you’re in the right place. Somatic coaching is a body-centered approach to personal and professional growth that helps women, wellness practitioners, and creatives reconnect with their bodies, release tension, and gain clarity in life and business.
Unlike traditional coaching, which focuses mainly on thoughts and behaviors, somatic coaching integrates the body and nervous system. Instead of focusing only on mindset or strategy, it invites us to include the wisdom of the the body.
What Does “Somatic” Mean?
The word somatic comes from the Greek word soma, meaning body. In coaching, somatic refers to practices that help you tune into your physical sensations, nervous system and embodies experience— not just your thoughts. .
Somatic Coaching vs. Traditional Coaching
Traditional coaching often emphasizes goals, accountability, and cognitive processes. Somatic coaching allows you to move beyond the thinking mind and focus on EMBODIED awareness and lived experience.
Somatic coaching integrates body into the process. Sessions many include:
Breathwork and grounding practices to calm the nervous system
Movement to notice where tension or energy is held.
Visualization or guided meditation to tap into the wisdom of the body
Coaching conversations to weave insights into everyday life and business.
Why Somatic Coaching Matters
Women are innately intuitive beings, but we have been conditioned by our patriarchal society to ignore our natural instincts. We’ve been conditioned to look outside of ourselves for answers. Somatic coaching sessions allow you to drop into the wisdom of your body. When we make decisions from there, we gain access to:
Clarity— Learning to trust your intuitive “yes” and “no”
Alignment— Creating a life and business that feels good in your body, not just on paper
Who is Somatic Coaching For?
Somatic coaching is supportive for anyone wanting to reconnect with themselves — but it’s especially powerful if you are a leader wanting to show up with grounded, embodied presence.
What Happens in a Somatic Coaching Session?
Each session is different, but common elements include:
Grounding— Arriving in the body with breath or meditation
Exploration— Noticing sensations, emotions and patterns that arise
Integration— Weaving insights into practical next steps
Closing— Leaving the session with clarity and next steps.
The intention is always for you to leave feeling grounded and more excited about your business, with a few some SIMPLE next steps for moving forward.
It’s is the perfect blend of dreaming big, strategic action and DEEP SOUL WORK to help you get clear on the direction your business is heading.
