Hands-on Body-Wise Coaching

Service Description

Welcome to understanding your body and decisions more fully through hands-on Body-Wise coaching! These sessions are a hybrid between therapeutic bodywork and health/wellness coaching, with emphasis on somatic (body) coaching. In these sessions, you will receive coaching on the table -- how cool, right? Unlike with massage, you will be fully clothed during these sessions. In each 53-minute coaching session, we will walk you through different areas of your body through gentle communication and therapeutic touch. You will get to know different parts of yourself: how your physical body interacts with your beliefs, values, thoughts, and goals. Through this heightened communication, you will be able to leverage newly developed skills of self-awareness to enhance your relationship with your body, and use that healthy relationship as a compass to guide decisions you may feel stuck about. ----------- Body-Wise Coaching includes a 10- to 20-minute check-in and pre-session assessment, 20 to 40 minutes of hands-on guidance and coaching on the table, and a 10- to 20-minute exit assessment with coaching. Each session will include somatic exercises to facilitate embodiment: essentially a healthy self-awareness with yourself while feeling sensations, emotions, and movements without judgmental thoughts influencing you. ----------- What is Body-Wise Coaching good for? 1) Understanding and making sense of bodily cues such as discomfort, pain, relief, sensitivities (food, people, sounds, etc), disruptions, and so forth 2) Learning about and understanding emotions and where they live in the body 3) Creating safety in your body if you're prone to dissociation 4) Learning how to use emotional acuity of and in the body for making sense of thoughts, behaviors, habits, beliefs, and values 5) Integrating learned body cues and grown self-awareness to help navigate difficult/trying circumstances and effectively make decisions and plans 6) Understanding sensations and de-escalating them, creating empowerment in the body 7) Finding/creating comfort through pain or discomfort ----------- Want to learn more about Somatic and Embodied Coaching?
