Connect to the Aliveness Within
Welcome,
Before you begin reading, take a deep breath and wiggle your toes.
Come home to your body.
For more than a decade, I have been working and studying in these fields. I have seen the evolution from relatively unknown ideas to household words.
Somatics and Embodiment work is part of a quiet revolution that has been taking place for many years.
Perhaps you’ve also noticed the surging interest in Somatics and Embodiment, and that's what has led you here.
Contrary to what you might see on social media, this is not about:
-
Just being sensual
-
Moving from the ‘thinking mind’ into the ‘feeling body’
-
Emotional release
-
Calming down or relaxing the nervous system
Somatics and Embodiment is actually…
-
A simple acceptance of every part of your being
-
The unification of the mind and the body as one to help feel, accept, and express everything that is alive in each moment
-
An invitation to look beyond who we think we are, release held patterns of conditioning, and regain autonomy, compassion, and aliveness
-
Full nervous system activation – being able to be with cycles of upregulation and downregulation without losing yourself

Change begins with us.
My clients say it best
"Rachael's style of mentorship helped me with some much needed grounding and insight. She guided me through various topics, helping me to conceptualize them in my own way and providing an abundance of outside resources in areas where it suited me. I am so grateful for having had the opportunity to go through this container and I highly recommend doing it if you ever get the chance!"

FAQs
What is Somatic Coaching? Somatic Coaching is a body centered therapeutic approach that integrates the mind and body to facilitate healing and transformation. It involves reconnecting with your body's sensations and experiences to release old patterns, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and presence.
What Happens in a Session? While story is important, in a typical session you will also be guided to explore your internal landscape through attuning to sensation. The focus is on creating a safe space to expand your capacity to be with your body's sensations, emotions, and inner narratives. Each session is tailored to your needs, supporting you in cultivating trust in your body's guidance. You will be introduced to different practices to support you in connecting to your body and expanding your capacity to be with sensation.
Who is This For? This work is for individuals who feel disconnected from their bodies, emotions, or inner wisdom. It's particularly supportive for those navigating transitions, seeking to release ingrained patterns, or desiring a more embodied and authentic way of living. It does not matter if you are new to somatic practices or have years of experience, this approach offers a compassionate space for all to explore the embodied self.
What do I mean by “ The Aliveness Within”? "The Aliveness Within" refers to the innate vitality and wisdom that resides in each of us. It's the spark that emerges when we fully inhabit our bodies and embrace our authentic selves. When we connect with the inner aliveness, we also connect with a deep and ancient part of ourselves that can hold us through challenging experiences. In the words of Buddhist nun Pema Choron: “Peace isn’t an experience free of challenges, free of rough and smooth, it’s an experience that’s expansive enough to include all that arises without feeling threatened.”
