Somatic Coaching Sessions

You've done the work. So why do you still feel stuck?

You can explain your patterns. You know where the anxiety comes from, why you shut down in certain conversations, and what you'd like to do differently. Then the moment comes, and your body reacts the way it always has.

That isn't a lack of insight. Understanding happens in your head, but the pattern lives in your body. It starts to change when you learn to feel what's underneath it instead of thinking about it.

Somatic coaching teaches you how to do that, one on one, so you can keep doing it on your own. Sessions are online from anywhere, or in person in Plano, Texas.

BOOK CONSULTATION

This might be for you if

You've already done real work: therapy, coaching, reading, meditation or other practices
You understand your patterns, but they still take over when you're stressed
Calming tools help in the moment, but the same feelings keep coming back
You have a hard time crying, or you tend to live from the neck up
You're curious about working with your body and willing to practice between sessions

What we actually do

Most body-based approaches stop at calming the nervous system. That matters, and it's where we start. But calming alone doesn't clear what's stored underneath, so the same feelings keep returning. This work goes one layer deeper.

In our sessions, you'll learn to:

Feel it in your body. Find where an emotion lives physically, and stay with the sensation instead of the story about it.
Stop fighting it. Notice the parts of you that push feelings away, and understand what they're trying to protect.
Let it move through. Stay with the sensation until it shifts, softens or releases, sometimes through tears, movement or words.
Come back to yourself. Settle afterward, and learn to bring this practice into your daily life.

Over time, this changes how you meet new feelings, not just old ones. People often describe feeling lighter, less reactive and more able to stay present when things get hard.

What a session is like

Each session starts with what's present for you right now: a situation, a feeling, or a pattern you keep running into. I'll guide you in noticing what's happening in your body and working with it directly. You'll leave with a practice to use on your own before we meet again.

This work translates well online. Being in your own space often makes it easier to relax and notice. You'll want somewhere private where you can sit or lie down without being interrupted.

How to start

Single Session

Most people start with one session, 50 minutes for $175. You'll get a real experience of this work, a clear sense of whether it fits you, and a practice to take with you.

Continuing Sessions

If you'd like to keep going with further sessions, we'll decide together after our first meeting. Ongoing sessions are $175 each, or 4 sessions for $600.

Coaching or Therapy?

As a licensed therapist, I offer both, and they're different.

Somatic coaching is skill-building and guidance. It's open to anyone, anywhere, and focuses on learning to work with emotions through your body.
Somatic therapy is mental health treatment. I can offer it only to people located in Texas, and it's the better fit if you want ongoing support with anxiety, trauma history or relationship patterns.

If you're in Texas and unsure which fits, we can sort it out in a consultation. Learn more about my Somatic Therapy Services.

Common Questions about Somatic Coaching

No, but it's grounded in my training as a therapist. This is coaching: you're learning skills for feeling and releasing emotions through your body. These sessions are not psychotherapy or mental health treatment.
Yes. This program teaches additional skills you can bring into your therapy work, or practice on your own alongside it. It's not a replacement for therapy — just an additional tool.
That's common, and often it's the reason people come to this work. We start exactly where you are and build from there.
We go at a pace you can handle. Part of what you'll learn is how to steady yourself when emotions get intense. If it ever becomes clear you need more support than coaching offers, I'll tell you and help you find it.
Yes. Somatic work is about noticing what's happening in your own body, and you can do that anywhere you feel comfortable.
Yes. Coaching is available worldwide, and we'll find a time that works across time zones.

About Stephanie

For years I practiced traditional talk therapy, and I kept seeing the same thing: clients understood their patterns clearly and still couldn't change them. In 2018, a sudden awakening brought me back to this work from a completely different place. I went through The Presence Process six times, then trained in somatic therapy and IFS (Internal Family Systems). This is the work I do on myself, and it's what I teach.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Breathwork Teacher and Certified Spiritual Life Coach, with more than 20 years in the field. Learn more about my story here.
