GROUP SOMATIC COACHING PROGRAMME

What to expect....

This small, intimate group coaching programme is aimed at exploring Creativity, Self-Expression and Playfulness through connecting with your body, your emotions and what lights up your soul!

This programme is a BETA TEST, meaning it is the first time I'm ever running it.

All participants must understand that this is a work in progress, and it's a chance for me to see what works and what doesn't and adapt as we go, and for future programmes. I am acknowledging up front that this won't be perfect, but I am open to learning and your input, reflections and constructive feedback will be very important.

Somatic Practices are tools to support your emotional, mental and physical wellbeing by working with your body and body-focused tools and techniques. Somatic Coaching aims to provide support, guidance and connection with others, to help you to explore the qualities of safety, joy and play, and provide accountability to help you create a sustainable and long term wellbeing practice.

We will meet live on Zoom for 8 out of 10 sessions; Each session will be tailored around a particular theme, which can be found in the Syllabus outline. We will explore body-focused practices and tools to help you feel more connected to yourself, to safety and your inner experience and there will be space for discussion, sharing and holding space for each other's life experiences. Sharing is optional, as is having your camera on.

This coaching programme is not talk therapy, counselling or specific mental health support, and I am not a Mental Health professional. If I feel that you would benefit from a talk therapist, counsellor or Somatic Therapist, I am happy to discuss this with you and If I feel that there is a safeguarding issue, I am required by law to raise concern to a relevant professional. I can also refer you to a talk therapist or counsellor who works with the body / with a Somatic approach.

I will endeavour to support you as an individual in the best way that I can, within the boundaries of my Yoga & Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach Training.
