Rachel Blackman joins our host, Felicity Dwyer in an enlightening conversation to discuss somatic coaching. They explore how this approach can lead to a deeper sense of presence and a new understanding of the body's intelligence. Rachel guides Felicity through three short somatic exercises to demonstrate the value of physical sensations and how to use the information provided in a coaching session. Discover the importance of agency, good contracting, and re-contracting in coaching – letting the client's resonant sense guide the process.

You will learn:

·       The power of embodied intelligence and integration in coaching

·       How to use movement, body language and metaphor as a tool

·       How somatic coaching offers new perspectives, insights and ways of being for clients

"This idea of relating to the embodied experience as a sort of neck down experience and a kind of function rather than a territory of intelligence feels to me like a coming home and a deepening."
