Somatic Coaching in Virginia Beach: Listening to the Nervous System’s Story
As a somatic coach in Virginia Beach, I help people reconnect with their bodies, slow down, and gently listen to the stories beneath the surface. These aren’t always stories we can speak.
Some are carried in the throat—a tightness, a lump, or words that feel stuck.
Some are held in the breath—shallow, restrained, or out of reach.
Others live in the belly, in a constant gripping or clenching we’ve come to normalize.
In the lower back, quietly aching from the invisible weight we carry.
Or how the shoulders rise, the jaw tenses, or the body stays alert—just in case.
These are the stories of the nervous system.
And they matter.
What the Body Remembers
The nervous system is always paying attention.
Our brain responds to our environment, memories, and internal cues even when we're not consciously aware. It adapts to protect us, but sometimes, those protective patterns stay long after we’ve outgrown the situations that shaped them.
We explore these responses through somatic and mindfulness-based coaching—not as problems to fix but as wisdom to understand.
Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, or burnout or want to feel more at home in your body, this work invites you to return to yourself.
The Power of a Pause
I often invite a pause in the session—not to interrupt the conversation but to deepen it.
To slow down and make space for what your body may be trying to communicate.
A sensation, an emotion, or a shift that holds more truth than words alone.
This is where nervous system regulation begins—not rushing toward solutions but offering presence.
In honoring what’s here.
In listening.
You don’t have to push through.
You don’t have to go it alone.
There is room for you, just as you are.
Somatic Coaching for Stress, Anxiety, & Embodied Awareness
My approach blends somatic awareness with mindfulness and trauma-informed care. Whether we meet in person here in Virginia Beach or connect virtually, you’ll experience a calm, grounded space where your experience is honored.
This work can support you if you’re:
Feeling disconnected from your body or intuition
Living with anxiety, stress, or burnout
Experiencing chronic tension, overwhelm, or emotional fatigue
Seeking deeper embodiment and nervous system regulation
Wanting to process experiences without having to retell your whole story
We move at your pace.
We follow what feels safe.
We build trust with your body, one breath at a time.
You Deserve to Be Heard—Body and All
Your nervous system has a story.
And I’m here to listen.
Not with judgment or urgency—but with presence, compassion, and care.
This is a space where your body is welcome, your experience is valid, and your process is honored.
