Somatic Coaching:Introduction to Body-Centered Coaching

Introduction to Body-Centered Coaching

Body Centered Coaching - 20 hours

October 9, 2024 - December 18, 2024 (10 Wednesdays)

12pm - 2pm ET

This class is designed to introduce you to the core concepts and foundational principles of body centered coaching along with some of the neuroscience that underlies the value of embodied coaching. You will be introduced to nine specific body-centered coaching strategies and have an opportunity to practice strategies in and out of class. We will explore the specific application for these strategies and how they can be most impactful in Health and Wellness coaching. We will also look at contraindications for using a body – centered or a mindfulness approach in coaching. This class is intended to deepen your coaching skills related to mindfulness, maintaining an open and exploratory mindset, creating spaciousness in the coaching session, and engaging your intuition and coaching instincts.

This is not a coaching methodology. The application of these strategies does not constitute end-to-end session structure. They are strategies that can enhance your toolkit and may be incorporated into coaching session, as applicable. Integrating body centered coaching strategies can be especially valuable when clients feel stuck and are “in their head” in a way that keeps them stuck. These processes are designed to help clients tap into their inner knowing/awareness by inviting them to engage in an integrated (thoughts, emotions and body sensations) inquiry related to a challenge or concern. Creating a safe space to tap into the full spectrum of mind/body/spirit deepens and broadens the opportunity for clients to notice what is present in their inner experience, to gain clarity from that awareness and to push past barriers to forward movement.
