Top 5 Benefits of Working with a Somatic Intimacy Coach

Somatic work is becoming more and more popular. We are awakening to the wisdom of our bodies. We are healing through not only the connection we have to our minds but also the connection we have to our bodies.

We are taught from a young age to be and operate solely from our minds. We are not taught how to feel our feelings, learn our capacities and boundaries, understand our needs and desires, or BE in our bodies. We are also not taught how to do intimacy.

Intimacy is a skill that can be learned. That's where I come in as an intimacy coach. We'll take the time to learn what intimacy feels like from your body's perspective. We will expand and explore what is truly available for you when in connection with yourself and others. How juicy does that sound?!

The Top 5 Benefits of Working with a Somatic Intimacy Coach

1. Experience a secure loving attachment. The only person who is capable of truly knowing what is good for you is yourself. It's incredibly challenging to navigate all life experiences on our own without loving support, connection, and care. It's not my job to tell you how to live your life. However, it is my job to be a secure attachment and create space for your internal voice and feelings to authentically be expressed and validated.
   

2. Learn embodied connection to your feelings, sensuality & sexuality. Our mind experiences the world around us as black or white, wrong or right, bad or good. This focus on our mind creates an incredible amount of self-judgment, guilt, and shame. Looping in our suffering and continuously punishing ourselves with the stories that we play on repeat. Our bodies experience the world around us completely differently from our minds. Our bodies don’t think in black or white. Our bodies are balanced by a deeper truth and every single person’s truth is authentic and unique to them. We have not been taught the tools to listen to our bodies because we’ve been conditioned to listen to our thoughts. I will teach you tools to deeply attune and listen to your body to experience more pleasure in your life.
   

3. Uncover and accept who you are, your desires, feelings, needs, capacities, and boundaries. This type of coaching is empowerment-based coaching. You are a unique canvas that is just waiting to be explored. You are the compass that will guide you toward your deepest desires, the edges of your fears, and your hard limits. How empowering is that! As a somatic intimacy coach, I serve as a reminder of the wisdom and power you have within you.
   

4. Gain an understanding of how shame limits your life force and self-expression. Our sessions together are a space for you to fully show up and share all parts of yourself. Shame is a heavy feeling that makes us hide the parts of us we deem bad, unworthy, and wrong. We push these parts of ourselves into the shadow and cut them off. Deshamifying allows people to see and accept themselves more fully with love and compassion as we are continuously evolving and growing as humans. Lowering shame and deepening self-awareness helps clients address challenging patterns, move beyond paralysis or perfectionism, and create the life they want to live!
   

5. Learn emotional resilience in the face of fears, disappointment, rejection, and loss of self. As a Somatic Intimacy Coach, I support people through the inevitable disappointments and rejections we all move through and teach tools to re-learn to trust themselves through this process. I help people practice love and empathy in their lives and relationships by teaching tools to share emotions, needs, and boundaries in a way that increases the likelihood of getting one's needs met.

Intimacy is about all of me being in a relationship with all of you. It's about vulnerability and connection. It's about learning to repair and face disappointment. It's about being human together. Each person is an expert in their own life and their own body. There is no right way to be an intimate being!

Book a session with me and let's start exploring what intimacy is for you :)
