somatic coaching in Victoria BC and remotely online
Somatic Coaching
At Lone Peep Spirit Care, my main focus is on providing support and guidance during times of transition, challenge, change, and loss.
My somatic coaching approach focuses on your life force energy. It is the quality of your own essence, alongside your mind, body and emotions. Meaningfully connecting with your own energy involves understanding your place in the world, in society, and in your relationships. Nurturing an awareness of the bigger picture is essential for true well-being, especially during times of transition or hardship. From my perspective, somatic connection has a profound impact on overall wellness and sense of purpose.
Exploring your unique life circumstances through a somatic coaching perspective will help you develop a deeper sense of inner peace, calm, and fulfilment. You might be wondering what somatic coaching looks like in practice. I offer compassionate listening, reflective discussion, gentle movement practices, guided meditation, and safe healing touch to help you establish a strong connection between your mind, spirit, and body. Sessions can be scheduled online from anywhere in the world and the tools are similar.
My personalized approach suits your needs based on your current situation. Whether you're undergoing a significant life change, coping with the loss of a loved one, adjusting to changes in your relationships, or preparing for your own death, somatic coaching addresses the impacts of life transitions from a holistic viewpoint that goes beyond traditional talk therapy.
If you're located in the Capital Region, specifically South Vancouver Island or the Gulf Islands, you can receive in-person services at my comfortable private studio. For those across Canada or anywhere in the world, online sessions are always available. Many people find remote somatic coaching just as impactful as in-person sessions, allowing you to do this work regardless of your location.
During our sessions, we will explore life's profound questions and equip you with practical skills to feel alive and secure during challenging times. We use healing touch and somatic awareness techniques to help you regulate your nervous system so you can feel resilient and strong.
Understanding Somatic Coaching
Your journey is unique, and I respect your personal relationship to your body. My approach to somatic coaching is based on empathy, active listening, and non-judgmental support. I work with individuals in Victoria BC, across Canada and worldwide , providing personalized, in-person somatic coaching.
Along with somatic coaching, guided meditation, and compassionate reflective discussions, a key aspect of my work is helping you create personal rituals that nurture your inner wisdom and honor sacred moments in your life. For example, your grief can be acknowledged with a sacred walk of remembrance. Letting go of a past friendship can be symbolized by cutting a cord. Inviting friends to celebrate your last week of being single can be accompanied by reflective dialogue, guided meditation, ritual, and medicine or tarot cards. These practices help connect you more deeply in body, mind, and spirit, addressing the complexities of life and helping you feel whole.
The Benefits of Somatic Coaching
Somatic coaching offers a felt-sense of inner support and insight during difficult times. I strongly believe that by turning inward, individuals can experience growth during moments of transition, change, discovery and loss. This can lead to inner peace, enabling you to handle life's challenges more gracefully. Somatic coaching encourages you to question and deepen your experience of your body’s nervous system and how it connects with your mentality. Nurturing this connection will lead to more resilience within yourself, with others, and in the world. You will discover more meaning and fulfillment as you learn more about how to tend to your body’s reality.
You are invited to experience somatic coaching for yourself. It may help you move through grief, shame and fear with resilience and strength. You will also become more self-aware, compassionate, and peaceful.
How Sessions Work, In-Person and Online
Our sessions start with an invitation for you to share your current experiences. Together, we will explore ways to support your body, mind, and emotions.
Through reflective discussion and guided meditation, we identify areas of tension, stress, blockage, and overload, which are then released through gentle movement, safe healing touch, breathwork and visualization. Generally, somatic coaching sessions occur in rounds of 3-6 appointments because this is not an instant fix. You need to be present and committed to the work in order to receive its benefits.
In person, you can receive touch from my hands in order to help explore the areas of your body that are holding stories. All touch is client-guided and offered only with your full consent. Combined with breathwork, visualization and discussion, you’ll notice how you are able to release held emotions from your body. Very often, movement is a key component to this release and you’ll find yourself allowing your body to move in unconventional ways.
Online, you will receive self-touch guided by my presence. Along with movement, breathing and releasing, the process of letting go of stored emotions is equally cathartic. As mentioned earlier, online sessions are available across Canada and worldwide to ensure that everyone can access my strategies for profound healing and self-discovery.
Reflective Discussions and Meditation
The beauty of reflective discussions and meditation is that you’re able to dive deeply into whatever experience you’re going through. You can feel safe and supported to talk about anything in my presence.
All of you is welcome here. Your shame, fear, resistance, anger, ugliness, and bright joy are all encouraged to come to the surface. You may be surprised at how much you are withholding from yourself and the world!
We use meditation to help you relax and find self-awareness. Sessions bring these elements together in a supportive environment where all thoughts and feelings can be explored. I provide gentle guidance to help you connect with your body’s signals, gaining clarity and potency.
Through reflective discussions, you'll have the opportunity to:
Explore thoughts and feelings
Address grief, anger and confusion
Identify areas for personal growth
Process emotional release
Develop self-awareness
With guided meditation, you'll:
Connect with your body
Promote relaxation and clarity
Develop your relationship with inner guidance
Enhance wisdom
Cultivate a sense of calm and well-being
I’m your safe guide on a journey of supported healing. You'll cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and your needs during this time. Whether you're in Victoria BC, or connecting remotely, I am committed to helping you find understanding.
By exploring thoughts, feelings, and desires through somatic coaching techniques, you gain a clearer sense of your own presence. Combined with safe emotional release and guided ritual, this leads to personal growth and a strong connection to inner wisdom.
I’ll support you every step of the way as you explore your grief, loss, trauma and challenges.
