Are you ready to take the next step towards what you REALLY long for?
“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.”
- Martha Graham
Why Somatic Coaching?
Purpose and Passion
Connect with what is next for you on your personal or professional path by contacting the wisdom that moves through your body. There is an inherent aliveness and intelligence you can sense and feel that moves within your tissues. This aliveness can be experienced or perceived as your deepest longings, your values, what you love and what excites you. Unlock and catalyze this aliveness into action towards the work, the relationships, the creativity and the contribution you want to make in your life.
Healing and Resilience
Discover how adaptive strategies or reactive patterns are getting in the way of the Self you need to be to live the life you want. Unwind from trauma and long held patterns that do not just live on the level of your thoughts but also on the level of your tissues. Cultivate your innate resilience allowing you to be more creative and resourceful as you take the next bold steps along your path.
Leadership and Relationship Skills
Learn new embodied skills and practices that will expand and deepen your presence, increase your capacity for more attuned listening, effective communication and ability to set clear and responsive boundaries with others in your life both personally and professionally.
“Somatic Coaching is distinct from conversational coaching in that it includes the physical world of sensations, temperature, weight, movement, streamings, pulsation, and vibrations, as well as images, thoughts, attitudes, yearnings, dreams, and language. Somatic Coaching is also distinct from mind-body-spirit coaching in that it doesn’t see these three domains as separate but the human form as the unified space in which humans act, perceive, think, feel, sense, express emotions and moods, and live their spiritual longing.”
― Richard Strozzi-Heckler, The Art of Somatic Coaching: Embodying Skillful Action, Wisdom, and Compassion

What Stephanie’s clients are saying
“Stephanie brought a wonderful mix of deep intuition, grace, supportive inquiry, witness and effective embodied practices to our sessions which helped me get past the noise in my mind and listen to my bodies deeper wisdom. Through practices, I was able to palpably feel the answers and truth my soul needed me to hear, face and then to begin to take new action. With Stephanie I embarked on a major life transition having felt the power, passion and promise of where I needed to go.”
- Jose E., Sr. Director, Hardware Engineering at Calix
“Stephanie is a uniquely gifted and skillful somatic practitioner. In our time together, she has given me two priceless gifts: she has been a healing presence and a compassionate witness to my humanity and she has shown ways to experience my aliveness that I didn’t realize was possible.”
- Doranna T., Psychotherapist, Educator, PhD Student
"My sessions gave me tools to invite curiosity to my fears, anxieties, and unhelpful patterns, allowing me to 'thaw' my carefully built walls that were getting in the way of offering my soul work out into the world. It changed not only how I approach my work, but also my sense of self, my relationships, and how I move through the world . I now have access to much more presence and much more compassion. Now when I feel stuck, overwhelmed, scared, or frustrated, I invite curiosity and am able to shift my perspective by shifting my body to see from a wide view or to focus in to identify what it is I really want, and then from a balanced center place I take small (and big) steps towards my goals."
