sine is a place for women to tap into their body’s intelligence, reconnect with their sensations, and restore balance through somatic awareness. Rooted in the science of embodiment, our coaching supports you in navigating emotional patterns, regulating your nervous system, and cultivating resilience.

At sine, we offer 1:1 somatic coaching to guide you in deepening your connection with your body and its wisdom. Insights - our blog, combines scientific facts with the holistic well-being realm, bridging research with embodied practices and wisdom. Additionally, Skin Ecology Essentials is a carefully curated selection of microbiome-friendly products, certified to honor and support your skin’s natural ecosystem.

sine somatics is an invitation to explore the interplay between inner and outer well-being, weaving together science, self-awareness, and sensory experience.

Somatic coaching is about transforming our embodiment to be aligned with what we care about, our values, and purpose so that we can be, act, and relate from this place. Somatic coaching is a body-centered approach to personal growth and well-being. It helps individuals regulate their nervous system, process emotions, and develop a deeper awareness of their physical and emotional states through guided movement, breathwork, and mindfulness practices. Somatic coaching also supports clients in opening up and connecting to their bodies' experiences, sensations, and expressions. It helps mobilize unprocessed stress, guides holistic developmental learning, and facilitates personal growth and transformation. This approach allows individuals to release old stories, unwind frozen beliefs and pain stored in the body-mind, and shift compensatory behavioral patterns that no longer serve them.

Traditional coaching often focuses on setting goals and creating action plans from a cognitive perspective. Somatic coaching goes beyond the mind by incorporating the body as a source of wisdom. It explores how physical sensations, posture, and movement patterns influence thoughts, emotions, and behavior, creating a deeper, more sustainable change.

Somatic coaching is ideal for anyone looking to:

• Develop greater self-awareness.

• Build emotional resilience and navigate stress.

• Heal from patterns of disconnection or overwhelm.

• Strengthen the mind-body connection.
  It’s especially helpful for those interested in holistic approaches, personal growth, or overcoming the impacts of trauma.

Sessions are tailored to your needs and typically include:

• A check-in to explore your current challenges or goals.

• Somatic practices such as breathwork, guided movement, or body-based mindfulness exercises.

• Reflection and integration to connect your physical experiences with insights for your daily life.
  Each session is collaborative and designed to help you feel supported, empowered, and aligned.

At sine, I invite you to explore your felt sense through the textiles you interact with daily—the clothing you wear, the fabrics that touch your skin, and the way these materials shape your sensory experience. Textiles are not just outer layers; they are an extension of your body’s environment, influencing how you feel, move, and connect with yourself.

In 1:1 somatic coaching, I guide you in bringing awareness to the subtle ways fabrics can impact your nervous system—how certain textures might create a sense of comfort or irritation or how weight and drape might affect your posture and presence.

sine integrates textiles as a sensory bridge—helping you listen to the language of your body, attune to its needs, and cultivate a more intentional, embodied way of being.

Somatic coaching and somatic therapy both work with the body’s wisdom, but they differ in focus, approach, and scope:

Somatic coaching is forward-looking and growth-oriented. It supports you in deepening body awareness, building emotional resilience, and integrating embodied practices into daily life. The focus is on expanding your capacity for presence, self-regulation, and transformation rather than healing past trauma.

Somatic therapy is clinically focused and designed for trauma resolution and psychological healing. A somatic therapist is trained to work with deeper emotional wounds, past trauma, and mental health challenges in a therapeutic setting.

At sine, I offer somatic coaching which is trauma-informed, which is about helping you develop a deeper connection to your body’s intelligence, navigate emotions with awareness, and cultivate resilience for the present and future. If you are processing deep trauma or mental health challenges, I recommend working with a licensed somatic therapist.

No, somatic coaching is not trauma therapy. While somatic coaching acknowledges how experiences are stored in the body, it does not replace psychotherapy or trauma-specific treatment. Coaching helps you build awareness and resilience in the present, but it does not involve trauma processing or clinical interventions. If trauma healing is your primary goal, working with a licensed somatic therapist or mental health professional would be more appropriate.

Yes, confidentiality is a core part of my coaching practice. I always have a confidentiality agreement in place with every client. What you share in our sessions remains private, ensuring you have a safe and supportive space to explore your body’s wisdom and emotional landscape. The only exception would be if there were an immediate safety concern, in which case I would discuss next steps with you.

I respect your privacy and uphold professional ethical standards to create a trusted environment for your somatic journey.

At sine, I utilize the Cycle of Change framework developed by The Embody Lab, where I completed my Mind-Body Coaching certification. This five-phase model guides clients through a transformative process, fostering deeper self-awareness and sustainable growth. The phases include:​

1. Awareness: Identifying and acknowledging current patterns, behaviors, or beliefs that may be limiting or no longer serving you.​

2. Sensing/Feeling: Deepening into the bodily sensations and emotions associated with these patterns, fostering a connection to your somatic experience.​

3. Expression: Allowing for the articulation or outward expression of these sensations and emotions, facilitating release and understanding.​

4. Embodied Meaning-Making: Integrating insights gained from the previous phases to derive personal meaning and understanding, aligning with your values and aspirations.​

5. Action and Integration: Implementing new, embodied actions that reflect your growth, and integrating these changes into your daily life for lasting transformation.​

By navigating through these phases, I support you in reconnecting with your body's intelligence, fostering resilience, and aligning your actions with your authentic self.
