One-to-One Coaching Online
I am currently taking on new one-to-one online embodiment coaching clients. If you are interested in coaching for now or for the future and would like to begin a conversation, please send me an email or book a Connection Call.
What I Offer
The Short & Sweet Version
- Embodiment coaching for adults over 18, living anywhere in the world.
- Each session lasts 1 hour, and is online on Zoom.
- My timezone is GMT/BST.
- Choose from fortnightly / 3-weekly / monthly sessions.
- Payment is on a sliding scale, from £65 - £145 per session.
- I especially love working with people who hold space for others, with people who give (or want to give) creative or community offerings, and with those whose movements and personal explorations in the world are oriented towards liberation and repair for all of us.
In one-to-one coaching, we’ll co-create a space where our spirits and bodyminds can feel, play, dance, and generate insight & ideas together.
Somatic coaching is an invitation to:
- sense into what integrity, belonging & connection mean to you, and connect to choice
- cultivate & nurture ancestral guidance – in expansive and queer ways – through relationship with beings, plants, place, art, music, movement...
- develop embodiment practices that emerge from your unique heritage and lineages
- welcome in more rest and play
- grow trust in ways of sensing and knowing that transcend the bounds of social conditioning
- be in somatic practice that is responsive to your lived realities
- feel in integrity in your relationships, work and offerings to the world, as you change
- feel part of a nourishing ecosystem and flow of relationship, including friendship, land, peer support, energetic awareness, purpose & aligned community
- be in relational practice to plants seeds that will carry far beyond our sessions
We have a life-force drive towards connection, delight and curiosity. For me, much of embodiment practice is about remembering that we are already free, and fathoming what our individual work is, so that we can create collective momentum towards this remembering.
Through practice, we root into belonging, play & liberation. Together, we remember and breathe life into ways of being.
What to expect during a session
Sessions are all about presence, play & invitation.
Each session will be unique, arising from whatever is alive for you within our space during that time. Together, we trust that, when we seek to stay in partnership and presence in the moment, what wants to emerge will emerge.
My approach is non-directive. We will always move at the pace of your embodied yes or no or maybe, with spaciousness to sense into that. There is no expectation that just because we tried a somatic practice in a previous session, it would also be welcome in this session.
Each session is unique.
Everything is always an invitation.
Sessions follow a general structure:
- You may arrive with an issue that you want to explore. Or, you may have nothing specific and just want to feel into what's calling your attention
- In somatic coaching, we "dance" between conceptual self awareness (processing logically through our thoughts, and making meaning with words) and embodied self awareness (using our senses to feel from within our bodies, connect to felt sense signals, and allow insight and shifts to emerge).
- Much of the time, we will talk or be in silence, as in any conversation. Throughout a session, I will reflect your words back to you, pull out certain phrases, and ask curious questions. Some sessions may be spent completely in this way, and may stay within conceptual self awareness.
- When it is welcome, you may want to explore sensations within your body. Any invitations from me for you to explore through embodied self awareness will be exactly that: invitations or offerings of practice or processes that you can choose to say yes or no to within each session.
- We spend time at the end of each session integrating and making sense of what has emerged, and partner together to ensure that you leave feeling resourced.
Some of the somatic processes that may be invited during a session:
Resourcing and orienting, Focusing, PIE sensory awareness (Proprioception, Interoception, Exteroception), Constellations, somatic boundary explorations, verbal experiments, dance, Centering.
Our identities within the space
By entering into this space, we are co-creating a multi-racial relationship. I am committed to naming and working with my racialised identity as a Black person of English - Sudanese - Scottish - Syrian heritage (along with ancestry that I do not know).
In the same way, if whiteness is also part of your heritage and you choose me as your coach, it's important that you are able to name, be with and be curious about whiteness as a cultural and racialised identity which informs how you show up in the world.
At times during sessions, these racialised identities may ask to be explored or named, and it’s important that we are each engaged in anti-racist inquiry outside of this space, to understand our conditioned embodied tendencies and our edges, so we can tend to what’s present as it emerges in a session.
When we gather in session, we each bring our lineage (ancestral, spiritual, beliefs, learnings), including perhaps lineages of racial harm. Our lineages, our embodied memories, our collective survival shapes - both known and unknown, supportive and confrontational - are already present in the room.
By noticing something, we can feel into it.
By feeling into it, we can generate curiosity.
By generating curiosity, we can create choice.
By creating choice, we can embody something more intentional as we move in the world.
One-to-One Pricing
My pricing structure reflects the culture I'm trying to foster, and allows people from a diverse range of lived experiences to access one-to-one embodiment coaching:
- I offer a sliding scale based on your socio-economic circumstances.
- I trust you to offer what you can afford (you won't need to show any documentation).
- For each session, you can choose to pay any price between £65 and £145.
-
The true price of a session is £110. Please pay this if you can.
- If £65 is not accessible for you at the moment, and you feel really aligned with what I offer, let's have a conversation and explore alternative pay-what-you-can prices or exchange. Send me an email.
- For clients who benefit from relative socio-economic ease, racial ease and/or generational wealth, I invite a practice of "gifting it forward" where possible, as an embodied practice of care towards those with marginalised identities and/or less financial resource within our community. By choosing to pay any amount above £110, you are gifting it forward, so that someone can access coaching at the lower price point.
- Payment is due by 48 hours before your session.
- If you are an Access to Work client, pricing and invoicing will be slightly different as agreed
1. You'll book your free 20 minute Connection Call (my timezone is GMT/BST)
Head over to Calendly to book your call. You'll find some optional questions there. Short or long answers are welcome!
Access note: If booking via Calendly feels inaccessible to you, you are welcome to email me instead and I can book in your call via email. Click here for the booking questions as a Word document.
2. We'll have our Connection Call on Zoom
I'll get an idea of where you are in your journey, what you'd hope for from coaching, and we'll check whether it's a good fit for what you need right now. We'll talk about what works for you, and explore whether you have any existing somatic or spirit-led practices you'd like to incorporate into our sessions. If the energy feels good and it's a Yes for both of us, we'll set the date for your first session! And if it feels like a No, I may be able to suggest other coaches who might be a good fit, or direct you to other resources.
2. You'll receive your Coaching Agreement and Welcome Resources
Clear and straightforward, so you know exactly what to expect from our time together. Read the agreement, ask any questions, and sign and return it via email.
3. You'll book in your session via Calendly

5. During each session
No two sessions are the same, but I'll always show up for you in the same way.
- I will listen, ask curious questions and reflect your words back to you
- I may make invitations into embodied self-awareness
- I will be non-directive
- I'll bring my calm, playful energy and meet you in whatever capacity and energy you bring to the session
I'll support you to tune into exactly what you need, to feel at home, to build a support network of beautiful humans who care deeply about the world, to believe in your purpose...
and to stay rooted into the collective soil, so that you can be the ancestor you want to be.
You don't have to go it alone anymore.
