Somatic Coaching
A 3-month container for helpers, healers, and health care workers who want to redefine their purpose in a way that centers their own wellbeing, so they can feel a sense of vital creativity in the work they love!
Hello friend.
I’m wondering if you’re starting to notice that precious time has passed, leaving you with a foggy recollection of the glimmering moments that held you throughout the cycles of the year.
Perhaps you’ve started to notice your nervous system is more and more affected by the emotions and experiences of the people you serve.
Maybe you once felt like you had an endless well of wisdom to provide to your people, and lately you’ve noticed yourself coming up short with a “helpful” solution.
When was the last time you felt excited to go to work?
I know how deeply we want to support our community so we can feel a sense of belonging, but we can’t leave our own vitality out of the work we do for the sake of helping.
It’s time to take a sip of your own sweet medicine and start replenishing your well of resources.
So you can feel a sense of aliveness in your body, remember why you chose this path, and create work that centers your own wellbeing.
So that you can keep doing the work you love and support the community that loves you.
Friend, it’s time to move away from taking another class and start the doing, being, and receiving parts of embodied healing.
Overextending is under feeling.
For many of us, caring for others began very early in life and continued as our role into adulthood. The tendency to look to others first left our own needs for care de-centered and neglected.
It turns out that overextension away from self is an intelligent coping strategy for safety access and resource security when our environment does not provide such basic needs.
While our orientation to our loved ones and community is very much heart-centered, it can also result in ongoing self-abandonment and inevitably burnout.
Now more than ever, we need deeply resourced healers supporting our communities with sustained efforts aimed at longevity.
We need to connect to the body in order to feel what hasn’t been felt, so that we can integrate the overwhelming sensations and build a wider capacity that allows us to continue on our path without losing our own vitality.
This is where somatic work comes in.
We practice together.
In collaboration, we build practices that develop a deeper connection to body, and establish a stronger foundation that allows you to move through the world in a more centered and connected way.
As someone who has been a helper for nearly my entire life, this is the care I take.
I work with somatic practitioners who watch and reflect the patterns that I miss in my own body, provide compassionate feedback, and provide practices centered in choice.
This has molded me into a well-resourced practitioner who knows my needs, preferences, and boundaries, which inform how I can best show up for my clients.
Here’s what I bring to the table.
-
Grounded Support
I provide down-to-earth guidance rooted in Somatic Experiencing methods throughout all of my offerings, which is especially helpful when it comes to dipping into experiences that haven’t been felt in a while.
-
Mirrored Experience
As someone who might share your experiences and values, I offer a compassionate mirror up to you, reflecting patterns and cycles you may not have previously noticed.
-
Personal Practice
I prioritize helping you develop a routine that will carry you long after our work together with many tools, techniques, and resources including bodywork, therapeutic movement, and personalized rituals.

What This Work Is
(and isn’t)
What it is:
Somatic support for healers, space-holders, and care providers navigating burnout and disconnection
A vehicle that moves you out of freeze and into action
A relationship-based, body-centered space to build trust with self again
A practical, grounded experience of what it means to live your values without self-abandoning
A return to choice, capacity, and calm under pressure
What it’s not:
Not psychotherapy or crisis work
Not about passive “feminine energy” or new age performance
Not a “just sit with it” approach — there is process, depth, and movement here
A map of where we can go.
Week 1-3
RETURN TO BODY WITH RESOURCES.
We begin our work together by cultivating a source of nourishing support for the work ahead.
Week 4-6
BUILD BOUNDARIES AND DEFINE NEEDS.
From a supported place, we can move to define exactly what is needed for your nervous system to access even more ease by building structure around your integrity.
Week 7-9
DEVELOP DEEPER CAPACITY.
Once a sense of stability has been established, our sessions continue by integrating challenges head-on from a place of curiosity, so that you can grow larger than your patterned activations.
Week 10-12
REDEFINE PURPOSE AND WORK.
Moving forward, we dive even deeper by working with patterns and subtle responses in order to redefine how you show up in your purpose and community.
This offering is great for people who:
are in caregiving professions or healing work and feel overextended, overidentified, or on the edge of burnout
are ready to start a private practice, creative project, or healing community, but need help moving out of freeze and into action
want to develop a somatics practice on a deeper level that goes beyond concepts and into lived experience
want to build greater capacity to hold space for big emotions without being mutually activated with others
have done years of therapy, and have the language to describe their emotions, sensations, and overall internal experience, but want to feel a shift in their body
want to develop the ability to find meaningful and appropriate solutions in a care setting with ease
identify as sensitive, or boundary-fatigued — and need a space that feels like home
“What I appreciate most, is how Rachel listened to me and felt empathy and not judgment. We didn’t have the exact career experience but she she understood where I was coming from. It really helped me trust and express myself in a genuine manner.”
