What is somatic coaching?

Somatic practice is the missing link in movement education and healthcare based on the work by Thomas Hanna. 

The technique used to restore voluntary sensory and motor control of muscles is ‘pandiculation’ rather than stretching.  Releasing blocks and tension in the muscles.  It teaches you to get out of pain or restrictive movement.

How will it help?

The emphasis is on a series of very gentle, easy self-care exercises. Improving balance, co-ordination, flexibility.  Daily repetition creates improved self-awareness & self-monitoring.

You will reclaim your ability to move easily without effort, the way you used to before any pain, and prevent further functional breakdown. 

Who is somatic coaching for?

Somatic coaching isn't reserved for a specific type of person, fitness level, or background—because having a nervous system is the only prerequisite. Whether you are recovering from a major life transition, dealing with the physical toll of a high-pressure job, or looking to optimize how you move, this practice meets you exactly where you are. It is an open invitation for anyone ready to stop fighting their body and start listening to it.

While the tools are universal, the focus is entirely personal. Here are a few examples of the clients who find their way to my practice. Which one relates to you most?

You train hard and push your limits, but you’re constantly battling stubborn plateaus, recurring niggles, or a lingering sense that your mind and muscles aren't fully communicating.

Athletes and Sports Enthusiasts

You spend hours hunched over a screen, leaving you with that chronic, tight ache in your shoulders, a stiff lower back, and a feeling of being completely disconnected from the neck down by 5 PM.

The Nine to Five Desk Warrior

You’re navigating the natural shifts of aging and noticing your balance, mobility, or recovery time isn't what it used to be. You want to move with ease and confidence again, not just "manage" discomfort.

Your Transitioning Body (Golden Years)

Your body has done (or is doing) the ultimate superhero task of creating life. But between the massive physical shifts, the postural changes of carrying a baby, and the exhaustion, you feel like a stranger in your own skin.

Pre and Postnatal Mums

Having completed the intense demands of medical treatments, surgeries, or scans, you may now be navigating the secondary physical and emotional aftermath. You might now be managing surgical tightness, scar tissue, persistent fatigue, or a profound sense of disconnection from your physical self.
