Somatic Experiencing Coaching for Trauma Healing - Find Your Way Back to Yourself
helping you - listen more deeply to the answers already in you, navigate overwhelm with simple tools, cultivate more flow & Illuminate your brightness & wholeness.
“In short, trauma is about loss of connection to ourselves, to our bodies, to our families, to others, and to the world around us.” - Peter A. Levine, PhD
Learn to harness the power of your nervous system & vagus nerve to build an intrinsic sense of safety, worth, and value. Helping you stay in connection to your boundaries & increasing your confidence.
Your body holds profound wisdom—and the keys to unlocking greater expansion & inner knowing.
Building Resilience
Not surprisingly:
Trauma isn't in the event that happens — it's how YOUR body responds to it. One event will be a breeze for one body & the same event may cause another to collapse from overwhelm. There’s nothing wrong with either body, but the opportunity is ours to learn from & heal if we’re the ones overwhelmed.
Our bodies have incredible & merciful ways to keep us safe. If we trip, our arms and hands extend to protect us. If a storm approaches, our body gets us away. If a loud noise catches us by surprise - our head & shoulders tuck in to hide & protect our core organs.
But when an event causes overwhelm, it overloads the body. Defenses show up, tight musculature, fascia, blood restriction. These impact our movement, sleep, digestion, socialization.
When a similar event occurs, our bodies predict a similar outcome. The patterns continue to wind around and around.
You can learn tools to unwind these processes for greater freedom, playfulness, joy, hope - and relief!

"Before working with Kath, I was experiencing throat closing on a regular basis, plus loads of anxiety, despite medication and knowing Somatic tools but not necessarily using them. Get ready to both relax and understand your body, mind and emotions better, unwrapping why your body does what it does when it's reacting to emotions."

"Prior to working with Kath, I had chronic tension headaches, neck pain, and digestive issues that made it difficult to move through the world freely. These sessions helped me become more attuned to what my body is trying to communicate. I now have more self-awareness and can better regulate my nervous system through the tools Kath teaches."

"After listening to Kath speak at VO Atlanta I knew I wanted what she was offering. Being able to access deeper places of emotion and anxiety and feel where it's really coming from in my body has been incredibly useful. Even if you think you don't have anything to deal with, there's a peace that comes with this work that leaves you feeling so much more in control."

Hi, I'm Kath
I absolutely adore helping courageous, curious people create more space in their bodies.
For much of my life, I lived detached and overwhelmed from my life. I didn’t know the clues to create more connection were under the skin.
Somatic Experiencing & ISP trauma resolution helps me connect with ME. This work keeps building my intrinsic sense of safety, worth, and value & helps me stay in more plugged in to my boundaries. It has been a GAME CHANGER.
My practice is rooted in deep listening, empathy, meeting you where you right here and helping you create a reality from your deepest desires. As a fellow creative, I also understand the vulnerability and discipline that comes with putting your yourself (& your art) into the world.
Common Questions
-
Therapists do incredible work processing past experiences and diagnosing mental health conditions. Somatic coaching focuses on practical tools for what's happening in your system right now, helping you build capacity for future challenges. Many clients do both and find they complement each other beautifully.
-
Not at all. This work supports anyone wanting to live with more ease, confidence, and authentic expression. We all have stress responses that could benefit from completion and integration, whether from major events or daily life pressures.
-
That's completely normal and exactly where we start. Many people live disconnected from body sensations. Part of this work is gently learning to notice and interpret your body's signals without pressure or judgment.
-
If you're tired of just coping and ready to build genuine capacity, if you want practical tools for life's challenges, or if you're curious about what your body might have to teach you, this work could be a good fit. Small Groups and Community Workshops are a low risk and more affordable way to try it out.
