Individual Somatic Coaching with Regan
Somatics offers a pragmatic path towards embodied, sustainable change. Coaching offers space for deep exploration into your longings, dreams, embodied patterns, current “shape” and obstacles. As a coach, my goal is to offer a warm, compassionate space to support you in fostering a more loving relationship with your whole self. Somatics supports coming home to your body and your full aliveness, finding a deep connection to your inherent dignity and the inherent dignity of all life, and building the foundation to be able to achieve your personal, professional and collective goals.
My approach is not to “fix,” treat or pathologize you or parts of you. Instead, we focus on where you would like to be in your life, what you are most longing for, how you would like to be showing up in the world, and what in your current “shape” might be getting in your way. We explore what patterns are currently embodied and how or if those are serving you and what other options you might want to start to cultivate. From there, we use practical somatic practices to build new embodied skills and competencies to help move you forward, towards your own “embodied transformation.” What we mean by “embodied transformation” is when your actions align more and more with your vision and values, even under the same old pressures. Be sure to check out the “About Somatics” page for a more in-depth explanation of somatics.

“Most of all, I appreciate how you embody what you teach. You have such an open presence, I feel safe. As a result, I notice how parts and awarenesses arise when I am with you that do not with others.” – A.R.
“Regan has a very gentle, kind way of coaching. I highly recommend working with her.” – L.S.
“Working with Regan is really increasing my ability to be present in my own life, with myself and those I care about. Their approach is very practical and focused on learning tools that I’ve been able to put to use right away. Regan is kind, funny, extremely knowledgeable, gentle, and a joy to work with.” – N.T.
“Regan’s approach to Somatics has shown me how important the mind-body connection is when trying to heal from unresolved traumas. As a person with a physical disability, I constantly struggle with my relationship to the world around me. Regan’s understanding of how our bodies can both confine and reveal our experiences and emotions has set me on a path of awareness and discovery long hidden by my own shadow. Her coaching, body-centered techniques, and guided practices have cultivated a new found image, love, and respect for the body that dances with my spirit.” – M.A.
“I appreciate your flexibility, humility, and, above all, the deep compassion. I feel truly honored and held in a way that makes it feel okay to do this very vulnerable work. ” – J.R.
“Regan’s somatic coaching made flowers bloom amidst my challenges and anxieties. Her inner joy and guidance towards body-knowing gave me a lasting gift of self-awareness and inner strength.” – M.M.
“I feel very fortunate to have been coached by Regan on Somatics. I was raised to dismiss my needs and true feelings and Regan taught me practices that help me understand and become more attuned to who I am and how I want to be in the world; to draw healthier boundaries and take them further than I might do without these teachings.” – L.S.
