Somatic Coaching · Zug, Zurich

What is somatic coaching?

Somatic coaching is practice: stepping into the way you want to show up, applied to real scenarios.

The approach

A grounded base for leadership.

As you lead, your focus is often out there. Somatic coaching turns the awareness first to your internal system. That awareness is your presence: it shapes how others trust you, follow you, and feel around you.

You apply exercises and tools to real-life challenges (Strozzi-Heckler, 2014): setting boundaries, making requests, staying in connection when it’s hard. You see what happens to yourself under pressure. The exercises give you quicker access to new insights, ones you see and feel, and you train how to shift yourself to get different outcomes: authentically confident, moving in a way that feels comfortable.

This is somatic work built for business: embodied leadership, standing in authentic confidence that is grounded. A difference you feel, and others feel. One pillar of the Performance Under Pressure approach.

This is for you if:
  • You’re ready to define and step into your leadership identity.
  • You want sustainable changes in behavior and executive presence, not insights that fade.
  • You want to understand how your body shapes how people relate to you, follow you, and trust you.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is somatic coaching?

Somatic coaching develops a grounded base for leadership. You apply exercises and tools to real-life challenges, see what happens to yourself under pressure, and train how to shift yourself to get different outcomes. The changes are ones you see and feel.

Who is somatic coaching for?

Leaders and professionals ready to define and step into their leadership identity, make sustainable changes in behavior and executive presence, and understand how their body shapes how people relate to them.

How is somatic coaching different from Somatic Experiencing?

Somatic Experiencing works with the automatic response: stress patterns that fire on their own. Somatic coaching is about creating and shaping: seeing your defaults and making new choices. Many clients use both, in sequence.

What is embodied leadership?

Leading with awareness of your own internal system: your automatic reactions, posture, voice, values, and influence. That awareness is your presence, and it shapes how others trust you, follow you, and feel around you.
