Somatic Coaching With a Certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner
Looking for a somatic coach near you? All my somatic coaching sessions are online—so wherever you are, expert body-based support is one video call away.
You're Not Alone
Why People Look for a Somatic Coach
Talk-based approaches gave you insight, but your body still feels stuck
You carry chronic tension, anxiety, or overwhelm you can't think your way out of
You've searched 'somatic coaching near me' and found few qualified options
You want a somatic coach with rigorous training, not just someone who read about it
You need flexible, remote sessions that fit your schedule
You sense your body holds the key, but you don't know how to listen to it
What a somatic coaching session gives you
Somatic coaching works directly with your body and nervous system—not just your thoughts. In each somatic coaching session we track sensations, release stored tension, and build your capacity for calm, presence, and resilience. Because everything happens online, you get the same depth of work as an in-person session from the comfort of your own space.
Understanding
What is Somatic Coaching?
Somatic coaching is a body-based approach to personal growth. While traditional coaching focuses on goals and mindset, a somatic coach works with what's happening in your body: the tension, bracing, collapse, or restlessness that shapes how you think, feel, and act.
The word 'somatic' comes from the Greek 'soma,' meaning the living body. Your nervous system stores every unresolved stress response you've ever had. Somatic coaching helps those stuck patterns finally complete and release—so change happens at the level of the body, not just the mind.
If you've been searching for a somatic coach near you, here's good news: somatic coaching works remarkably well online. Virtual somatic coaching sessions let you work from a familiar, safe environment—which often makes the work even more effective. I serve clients remotely across New York and California.
As a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP), I bring a rigorous three-year training in nervous system regulation to every somatic coaching session. You're not getting generic life coaching with a body-based label—you're getting trained, trauma-informed somatic work.

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about somatic work and how I can help.
How do I find a somatic coach near me?
You may not need one nearby. Somatic coaching is highly effective online—guided body awareness and nervous system regulation translate beautifully to video sessions. I work remotely with clients across New York and California, so a qualified somatic coach is as close as your laptop.
Does somatic coaching online really work?
Yes. Virtual somatic coaching sessions are just as effective as in-person work. Many clients find them more effective, because being in their own familiar space helps their nervous system settle faster.
What training do you have as a somatic coach?
Training matters in somatic work. I'm a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP): a credential that requires a three-year professional training in nervous system regulation and trauma resolution developed by Dr. Peter Levine.
What happens in a somatic coaching session?
Sessions are conversational and gentle. We slow down, notice what's happening in your body, and work with sensations, tension, and impulses as they arise. You don't need to relive painful memories—we work with your present-moment experience, always at your pace.
What are your fees?
My fee is $175 per 60-minute session. Longer sessions are prorated. I reserve a limited number of sliding scale slots—if cost is a barrier, please reach out. I don't accept insurance.
