Somatic Coaching: Practice Client Needed

submitted by rohlfsen@augsburg.edu

Hi All, Nichole here (Program Manager for Customized Programs at the Center for Global Education & Experience/CGEE). I’m currently enrolled in the Strozzi Institute’s Somatic Coaching Certification Program and am finishing the program in May. I am looking for one more practice client to add towards the minimum hours of coaching needed to complete my program. If you are interested, please email me at rohlfsen@augsburg.edu to talk more in detail. I’m including some information here below as well.

What is Somatic Coaching?
Somatic coaching is similar to other forms of coaching in that it tends to focus on the present and future (rather than the past like therapy or counseling), and supports clients to envision and then craft the lives they want to live, as well as to help identify what might be getting in the way of living their life more fully. However, somatic coaching integrates a key component of self that most coaching does not address or integrate: the body.

Working with the body as an integral part of self, as well as thoughts, emotions, and spirit, allows for a deeper awareness and intelligence, and creates the possibility of sustainable and lasting change. What shows up when we are under pressure (i.e., stress, getting a new job, falling in love, losing a loved one, etc.) is what is embodied—that is to say what already lives in our tissues and was typically shaped in us at a very young age. While the way our bodies reacted and learned how to cope at that young age were very wise and necessary, these tendencies continue to show up in our lives under pressure often at the expense of what we really long for and care about. Working with and through the body in somatic coaching is a more effective and efficient way of transforming our lives and being able to have more of the embodied skills needed to show up how we really want and need to in order to create lives rich in fulfillment, connection, play, resilience, and love.
