Somatic Coaching (online)
Are you trying to move forward in your life but feel stuck?
Often your body holds the answers you are looking for.
In 1:1 somatic coaching sessions (60 minutes) we will pay attention to your embodied knowledge and intuition.
By way of sensing and moving you will enter a ‘somatic dialogue’ to feel better and gain clarity.
You don’t need to be ‘good’ at moving or dancing; this session is for you to notice how gentle movements can make you feel better and what they mean to you.
These sessions are:
process-oriented (i.e., we do not set a specific goal at the start but follow your process)
resource-focussed (i.e., we do not explore pain but positive impulses)
gentle and mindful (i.e., compassionate, non-judgmental and self-determined)
One-hour 1:1 session: £60
Block of six 1:1 sessions: £300
Somatic movement group sessions: please get in touch (info@coille.scot)
Nature-Based Wellbeing Plan
Together we will design a personalised nature-based wellbeing plan. This plan is an ideal starting point to integrate more nature connection into your life. You can use it on its own or combined with somatic movement sessions.
One-hour 1:1 session: £60
Seasonal ‘Forest’ Programmes - currently paused
I offer the following seasonal online programmes: Spring Forest, Summer Forest, and Winter Forest, with a break in Autumn.
If you take part in the Seasonal Forest programme, you will receive the following:
Audio-recorded guided nature walks (released bi-weekly), which you can use in your own time, space, and rhythm.
Group sessions (‘sharing circles’) to share experiences, support each others’ processes, and build community (bi-weekly on Thursdays 7-8pm UK time, odd weeks).
Somatic movement sessions to move with ease, become aware of your resources, and integrate insights (bi-weekly on Thursdays 7-8pm UK time, even weeks).
1:1 somatic sessions (60 minutes) to dive deep into your individual process, gain clarity, and create a nature-based wellbeing plan tailored to your current situation (once per month, by appointment).
At the beginning of each season, we will start a cycle that moves through six thematic blocks. A block spans over two weeks and includes a new forest walk audio recording, a group session (‘sharing circle’), and a somatic movement session. Each season includes two week-long breaks of the sharing circles and somatic movement sessions.
The cyclical structure supports a transformative process to grow out of unhelpful patterns by way of connecting with nature, your body, and other people.

I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
With your one wild and precious life?
from Mary Oliver’s poem “The Summer Day”
