PRIVATE 1:1 COACHING
During SOMATIC (body oriented) private coaching, the client is supported through an inner exploration of
. . . ASSISTED SELF-DISCOVERY . . .
Conceptual Awareness (left brain, linear, logical, language based)
integrates with
Embodied Awareness (right brain, imaginative, body sensed, present moment)
to help the client align with their own truth.
PRIVATE COACHING TESTIMONIALS
“What felt most helpful was being able to conceptualize and envision structures that would actually support me. Cindy guided me through a process that was both fun and profound - I gained a completely fresh perspective on stressors that have been with me for a long time.””
“Cindy, I have to tell you how incredibly powerful our session was yesterday. I’ve been sitting in realization over mental shifts that are surprising me. Just the simple question of [] or even the awareness of subconscious feelings and then hearing [] in my head. I had a hard time sitting in silence after you said []. It was like a spell had been case on me and I wanted to get our of the confines and wanted to wriggle and move because of the discomfort but knowing I felt safe with you to sit in it. I think that’s what allowed me to be able to go from constriction to expansion so easily. Truly, thank you.”
“My session with Cindy was deeply transformative. Her deep understanding of the body allowed me to dive into the root energetic cause of an injury and transmute the energy - bringing healing and relief to my daily life. I highly recommend sessions with Cindy to dive into communication with your body on any level.”

THIS IS NOT A SALES CALL!!!
LET’S SEE HOW OUR NERVOUS SYSTEMS RESONATE:)
Virtual Session Structure:
Arrive together in our safe space, taking a moment to settle into the here and now.
Converse to identify the question/dilemma or phenomenon weighing on you, clarifying what might be the desired end result.
Delve into further discussion and/or body oriented processes to explore any signals your body may have for you (in Somatic Speak, this is “what wants to emerge”). Listening to your body does require calm, centered nervous system and state of mind, and we will employ techniques to help you access this state and relax into the experience.
Summarize progress, integrate insights, and identify steps and resources to apply in your life.

The FINE PRINT — SETTING EXPECTATIONS
My commitments to you as a Coach:
I am here to support and facilitate your own internal process of sense-making. I completely trust the process, and my joy is to witness it unfold in you.
My presence is open and accepting, gentle and calm, compassionate and respectful – with a touch of playfulness here and there.
I invite you to join me in the present moment and give yourself the blessing of time and safe space to self-focus. In time you will realize that your own answers really are inside of you. Never all the answers, as sometimes we all must rest in the unknown and let go of the intense desire to control. But learning to detect, decipher, and ultimately trust your own physical resonance and dissonance will help you to have sufficient clarity to ensure alignment with your true whole self.
I do not have any preconceived notions of what “success” is for a coaching conversation. There is no pass or fail – only a learning opportunity. Sometimes the effect of a body-oriented exercise is not immediately obvious but can come minutes to days later. I hold everything lightly and embrace the Organic Intelligence philosophy of “Easy Does It.”
At times I may unconsciously or consciously mirror some of your movements as a means to support your process. I may interrupt to check in with your internal experience or to name something I notice. I may be quite silent for spells, just giving you the supportive space to look inward and report back to me what you are experiencing. If at any point you feel you are stuck or have lost a trail, just let me know and we can take a new direction.
I do follow the International Coaching Federation Code of Ethics as linked here: https://coachingfederation.org/app/uploads/2021/01/ICF-Code-of-Ethics-1.pdf
My expectations from you as Client:
I expect that you will carve out a full hour of undivided attention for yourself – 45 minutes with me, 10-15 minutes to journal, doodle, or move your body as a way to integrate any insights you gain.
I expect that you will be honest with me but especially with yourself. If a sensation, emotion, movement, image, etc arises, please do not discount it or talk yourself out of it. Even a fleeting “whiff” of something can be worth exploring and yield fascinating insights.
I expect that you will prioritize your own needs. If you prefer to move about, take a break, change the topic, decline a particular process, or disagree with a suggestion I have made or a word I have used, I fully welcome that. Honor how you feel and communicate your internal experience to me so that I can honor it too. Resistance can provide useful information as well.
GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION
YOU are the only one who can access your inner wisdom.
AND
We all grow and thrive within safe, supportive community.
I am honored to assist you in your self-discovery process.
