Somatic Coaching

Somatic Coaching

Most coaching works with the mind. It asks: what are you thinking? What do you believe? What would you like to change? These are useful questions — but they have a ceiling. Because the patterns that keep us stuck are rarely held in our thoughts. They live in the body. In the physical sensations that arise before you are even consciously aware of them — and that we move away from so quickly, we stay stuck in undesired reactions rather than calm responses.

Somatic coaching works below that ceiling.

Rather than analysing what is happening, we bring attention to where it is happening — in the body, in real time. Staying with a sensation rather than explaining it away. That kind of attention allows the body to complete processes it has been interrupting for years. Often decades.

This is not therapy. You will not be asked to relive what happened. You will be invited to notice what is still happening — in your body, right now — and to stay with it long enough for something to shift.

What Sessions Look Like

Sessions are 60 minutes, online via Zoom. We begin by checking in — what's present, what you're carrying, what feels most alive. From there we follow what the body offers: a sensation, a tension, an emotion that surfaces when we slow down enough to listen. I guide the process, but the body leads it. Most people find that within a few sessions, they are accessing layers of their experience they have never been able to reach before — because we're not staying in the story your mind built — we're going into the truth your body is holding.

Who This Is For

This work is for people who have done the thinking and still feel stuck. Who have been in therapy, done the work, gained the insight — and yet something remains unresolved, still showing up in the same patterns, the same physical tension, the same emotional loops. It is also for people who sense that something is being held in the body — grief, old anger, a loss that was never fully felt — and who are ready to meet it.

I choose to work only with people who are genuinely committed to their process. That is why an initial commitment of 8 sessions is required.

I offer a free 30-minute intro call before any commitment — no obligation, just a conversation to see if there's a fit between what you're looking for and what I offer.

"You will not be asked to relive what happened. You will be invited to notice what is still happening — in your body, right now."

I spent fifteen years in talk therapy. Good therapists, real work — and yet I always left feeling like I was managing something rather than finishing it. In sessions with Alexandra I started feeling things I had only ever described before. After six months I told her I didn't need to come back. Not because I was giving up — because I was done. I had never said that before in my life. I didn't know it was possible to actually be done.
