What is somatic coaching?

The word 'Somatic' relates to our physical body and our perception or relationship to it. You could think of it as the mind-body connection or how our thoughts respond to our body, and our body to our thoughts. The route between these is often through our autonomous nervous system, which is responsible for our "automatic" processes such as breathing and heart rate. Somatic coaching works so well because we are tapping into our bodies natural state, how we have evolved to survive before smartphones, careers and the pressures of modern life came along and disturbed our natural processes.
