Somatic Coaching
For Grief and Life Transitions
What is Somatic Coaching?
Somatic coaching is a holistic approach that integrates the mind, body, and emotions to support personal growth and healing. Unlike traditional therapy or coaching methods that focus primarily on talking through problems or analyzing thoughts, somatic coaching explores how our emotions and experiences are held in our bodies.
During times of transition and loss, our bodies often hold onto unprocessed grief, stress, and emotional pain. In somatic coaching, the body is recognized as having its own wisdom and intelligence. By working with physical sensations and emotional responses, we can gain a deeper understanding of what is truly happening inside of ourselves during these life events.
This deeper awareness not only allows us to process emotions, heal more effectively, and navigate change with greater resilience, but it also enhances self-awareness, helping us understand ourselves more deeply and align with our true needs.
Somatic Coaching Sessions
One-on-one sessions are an excellent way for you to receive highly personalized support that is focused directly on your unique needs.
I believe you are the expert of your own body and experience, and my role is to guide you toward the wisdom that already resides within you.

Kind reflections from my clients…
“I started working with Ashley a month after I lost my husband suddenly to illness.
We were together for 15 years—it was unexpected and the most traumatic experience I’ve ever faced. Working with Ashley has been the most beneficial support I’ve received in coping with the loss of a loved one. During a dark time in my life, I was able to develop tools that helped me take care of myself and my daughter. I was able to go to places in my mind I never imagined I could face—and with Ashley’s help, I could visit those places and come out feeling better than when I started the session.
Ashley made me feel like healing was possible, which at the time felt nearly impossible.
When I feel overwhelmed or I feel tension in my body, I have the tools I learned in our sessions to help me care for myself and feel more okay in the moment. I can navigate situations that previously left me feeling frozen.
Before working with Ashley, I didn’t realize what trauma can do to the body. I would encourage anyone dealing with trauma or loss to receive this type of support.
I can’t imagine where I’d be today without Ashley’s help. She is a true professional who made sure I didn’t feel alone during one of the darkest times in my life.”

“I received a diagnosis six years ago that turned my life upside down.
Since then, I’ve spent a lot of time, energy and money into therapy. In just a few months of somatic coaching with Ashley, I’ve experienced a life changing transformation. Ashley’s calming voice and supportive energy allows me to be vulnerable so we can deepen our work together. She has guided me to experience suppressed emotions that were deep in my body. I can now recognize in my body when an emotion needs my attention. Ashley’s taught me many tools that have equipped me with the confidence to conquer situations I previously avoided. I previously lived in my head, but now my mind body connection is bringing a level of peace to my whole body. Every session with Ashley is truly an enlightening experience. Thank you Ashley!”

“I contacted Ashley during my divorce when I was really struggling with guilt, shame, and just getting through each day. I felt completely lost.
Ashley has been incredibly supportive, going out of her way to help me. She created a safe space where I can talk openly about what I’m going through without judgment, which has meant everything to me.
Her somatic approach taught me to set aside time each day to actually process the pain and trauma I’ve been carrying, rather than pushing it down. Learning to work through these feelings instead of avoiding them has made a real difference. I was able to release so much anxiety, stress and start to find my self worth again.
I can’t believe how much stronger and happier I feel now compared to where I started. I have gone from strength to strength. I never thought it was possible.
Ashley helped me through one of the darkest periods of my life and continues to support me. I couldn’t have asked for a better person in my corner.
Ashley, thank you for helping me to find the person I knew was inside me but didn’t know how to reach. Thank you for giving me hope. I’m so grateful and I can’t thank you enough.”

“Ashley has helped me navigate some incredibly challenging times in my life with the compassion, empathy, and skill that I needed to keep moving forward on my healing journey.
She is a brilliant spaceholder and somatic coach, and I leave every session with a deeper understanding of myself while feeling more empowered to ride the waves of life as they arise. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who is seeking to heal and expand themselves via coaching.”
