Somatic coaching
In coaching we work towards the embodiment and skill development to be the person you long to be. This applies within a professional, family, community and personal contexts to move you closer towards your goals and sustained growth.
Coaching differs from therapy in that we are focused more on taking action towards purpose, aligning ourselves more closer to our vision for the future.
I currently offer two types of coaching:
Somatic Practice Client Coaching: My coaching is grounded in both the Strozzi Institute and generative somatics approach to healing and transformation. I offer somatic coaching through sessions in-person in Oakland, CA and virtually. Together, we’ll work to understand the self through listening to the body. I’ll support you learning somatic practices to feel more self-awareness and choice. And this may lead to growing your own self-compassion, a sense of spaciousness and increasing (internal) resources.
Leadership Coaching BIPOC Leaders: focused support for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color who are directors within nonprofit and movement organizations and spaces.Drawing from my years of experience building and sustaining a nonprofit, I can support both concrete skill building (e.g. fundraising, organizational culture, staff management, etc.) as well as growing self-awareness in your own leadership capacity and values alignment. My hope in supporting BIPOC leaders is to interrupt isolation, repair imposter syndrome, hone your voice and affirm your leadership. I work with coaching clients to engage their imagination, facilitate somatic practices, develop concrete skills, and gently grow accountability towards goals.
