Somatics Coaching

Somatic coaching is right for you if:

  • You’ve spent years in talk therapy but are still struggling

  • You make most decisions based on intellect, what you “should” do, or what others would think is respectable

  • You’re longing for life to be different but aren’t sure in what ways or how to get there

  • You know what you want but are struggling with making changes

  • You find yourself getting intensely activated or shut down and you’re ready for things to be different

  • Your body often dictates how you feel emotionally and you want to work with your body rather than against it

Imagine if…

  • You felt regulated, resourced, and ready to live a life that excites you and feels good?

  • You had the skills to process intense emotions and no longer got derailed by them?

  • You felt more grounded and centered in who you are, and what you want and need?

  • You’re no longer defined by your past and have created the life of your dreams?

  • You’re able to support yourself when the next societal crisis comes without dissociating or numbing?

  • You were connected to an inner generative wisdom, power, and energy that cannot be fucked with?

“I don’t know why I wasted so much time in therapy. Nothing compares to the transformation I’ve experienced with Jaclyn. - Devon

Approach & Methods

The word Somatics comes from the Greek root soma which means "the living organism in its wholeness." Somatics is a path, a methodology, a change theory, by which we can embody transformation, individually and collectively In somatic coaching you’ll discover and/or deepen your connection with the felt sense aka the language of bodily sensation, process challenges in your life by working with the body instead of just the mind, learn practices to feel more calm and grounded, and slowly embody your desires instead of just yearning for them.

Mind Body Coaching

Get clear on what excites you and enlivens you, and be somatically supported in creating a life that feels good. Somatically meet, soften, and transform your roadblocks and unhelpful patterns. Through mindfulness and somatic practices, tune into your internal compass and unleash your full potential. Develop & leverage somatic awareness to guide you towards a life that is nourishing, regenerative, and fun.

Somatic Internal Family Systems

We all have inner worlds composed of different parts or sub-personalities. Some parts learn unhelpful or dysfunctional behaviors to try to shield us from pain and distress. Get to know your parts, their needs, & wants. Somatically meet their needs and resolve inner conflict. Learn to support your parts & see how your distress & patterns easily change.

Somatic Stress Release™ (SSR)

SSR facilitates processing current stress and past trauma through deepening bodily awareness, working with activated energy to release it, resourcing and restoring energy, cultivating resilience, and emotionally processing through the body. The practices within this lineage are vast and build up your capacity to meet yourself where you’re at.

Evidence Based Somatic Practice

As a researcher I look to peer reviewed academic journals to understand what science shows us works to regulate our nervous systems, process trauma, calm down, and increase resilience. Practices including Emotional Freedom Technique aka EFT Tapping, various breathing practices, meditation practices, journal practices, and more.

What working with me is like

We begin in the Intake Session by discussing and exploring your goals and desires for our work together. What are you hoping to accomplish, change, shed, learn, and step into? What are you dissatisfied with? What do you long for? This will orient our work together so I can best support you or we’re not a good fit.

Each session will include an arrival practice that helps you come into our container, shrug off at least part of the residue of your day, and help you drop into what we should focus on that day. Some sessions it’ll be clear. Others there may be nothing pressing and we’ll work towards your goals and desires we originally discussed.

From there we’ll do somatic practices to support you wherever you’re at. Maybe you’re activated and our goal is to help you move through that energy and process the underlying emotions. Maybe we’re filling up your cup energetically and somatically cultivating resilience. Maybe we’re expanding your sense of embodied possibility through EFT tapping. No two sessions are the same. Each one will meet you where your at through dialogue and somatic practices.

Somatic coaching with Jaclyn Shea

“Working with Jaclyn gets to the root of things in a way that therapy never did for me. It’s like taking a deep dive into yourself, exploring why your body does what it does, and figuring out what what you want. She’s like a body translator who’s helped me reframe my mindset, better understand my body, expand my toolkit, and empower me. I don’t feel like I’m being attacked by stress anymore or that it’s controlling my life. My autoimmune flare ups occur less and I can now prevent them when I notice they’re about to begin. I’m still amazed at the differences in my body.” - Hillary
