Somatic, Trauma-Informed Coaching for Women Willing to Nurture Their Inner Leadership

Conversations to reclaim agency as the main narrator of your life.

ICF Definition

Let's sit a moment with this :

“Coaching” — partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.

The Invitation

Moving through the thresholds together

We come from a lineage. We've inherited beliefs throughout the formative years that we tend to reinforce until one day the tightness, stuckness, heaviness is loud enough to have us reconsider.

Coaching is about noticing what's happening right now, acknowledging what is the current situation so we can finally meet ourselves where we are. As the thinker, you are leading the way and I'm offering questions to spark curiosity about perspectives you hadn't seen yet, I'm reflecting back how you said or how your body communicated while talking about something so you can catch which narrative is running in auto-pilot in your head. When you do the work and suspend the habit of outsourcing wisdom to “experts”, you reclaim ownership on the journey that was yours to figure out in the first place.

3 Ways Of Knowing

A myriad of intelligences

Tapping into the inter-connectedness of different ways of knowing

Head

Super efficient at predicting and surviving, during the coaching process, we shed a gentle light on patterns, beliefs.

Heart

All spectrum of emotions is part of the human experience, when we welcome them as messengers coming and going, crossing, shifts unfold.

Gut

Attuning to interoception, noticing the instinctive inputs.

This is not meant as an exhaustive list, we may invite the womb into the conversation as well for instance. The point is to bring a relational systemic approach so we weave together the ways of knowing instead of over-powering the cognitive intelligence like a tyrant treating the body with indifference or even cruelty.

Audience

Women I have helped so far are :

  • On their fertility journey, open to challenge their over-achievers and over-thinkers parts.
  • On their post-partum journey, willing to embody impermanence & gradually drop the weight of decades of conditioning about what a good mom should be like.
  • On their late ADHD diagnosis, daring to figure out how to embrace who they were all that time with their beautiful brain of theirs.
  • On their perimenopausal journey, resonating with the Chinese metaphor of Second Spring that will emerge after those liminal years which are radically inviting women to lay the ground for healthy boundaries (they can't bear the b.s anymore anyway).
  • On the motherhood journey, reflecting about what they want to model, how they want to model it to their children.

The Experience

Online + walking coaching side by side or over the phone

Let yourself enjoy thinking in motion! I work in-person in San Francisco, California and I enjoy walking with my thinkers. You can spot me often in Bernal Heights and Ocean Beach, two fav places. If you don't live close by, if you're on a different time zone altogether, we can still engage in a coaching conversation with audio only and we open our cameras when we see something of relevance blog.

Feeling the pull

Could our thinking partnership work ?

I am looking forward to opening a first conversation with you to see how it flows.
