Somatic (Body Oriented) Personal Life Coaching:
The Youniversoul Alternative to Conventional Life Coaching
Are you having trouble being understood?
 Do you find yourself repeatedly telling your partner
"You don't listen or understand me"?
Is your spouse's communication style too
analytical? too emotional? non-existent?
Are your co-workers too passive in making requests
of you? too assertive?
What are my values? How do they show up in my life?
Do you struggle to say the "right" things?
Do you find yourself repeatedly avoiding (or
engaging) conflict with others?
Are you still waiting for them to change?
The Power of Body Language
Research shows that the majority of the information we send and receive about our feelings is through non-verbal "body language". We often take communication cues from the reactions we perceive
from the other.
However, everything we say, hear, feel, and perceive is filtered through our personality,
our history, our belief systems, our presumptions, and a myriad of other factors
that influence all of our communications.
In the end, it is no wonder that most of us have no idea how much we misunderstand (or how
much we are misunderstood) on a daily basis until misunderstanding leads to conflict.
Discover the Wisdom Within You
Say you are involved in a personality clash at work. Traditional Life Coaching might
provide you with strategies and plans for confronting the co-worker, such as assertiveness training.
Such a solution may help you minimize the symptoms and smooth the immediate discomfort. But from the
Youniversoul perspective, this personality clash is actually an opportunity for you to learn something new
about yourself.
Do you find yourself repeatedly telling your partner
"You don't listen or understand me"?
Is your spouse's communication style too
analytical? too emotional? non-existent?
Are your co-workers too passive in making requests
of you? too assertive?
What are my values? How do they show up in my life?
Do you struggle to say the "right" things?
Do you find yourself repeatedly avoiding (or
engaging) conflict with others?
Are you still waiting for them to change?
Instead of focusing on the external behaviors, this perspective allows you to use the personality
clash as a real-life "laboratory" to discover (and ultimately disengage) the unconscious aspects of yourself
that are impacting your life.
A "Younique" approach
My approach uses the assumption that effective communication starts with You and your awareness of Who You
Are when you are interacting with others.
I have developed a unique style of teaching effective communication skills that blends my clinical
training in Counseling Psychology with my expertise in working with the physical and energetic body.
My focus is helping you develop your Somatic Awareness -- attention to what's happening inside and around
you -- when you are interacting with others.
As you hone your self-awareness, you will start to recognize the "cues" from your somatic system that
inform you about your communication process. For example, you may begin to notice that your breathing,
your attitude, and your muscle tension change just before you enter your boss's office.
Using this information as a guide, you can begin to discover more about your unconscious motivations, and
hence develop tools to help you attain the good quality communications you want to have.
My sessions are designed to give us time to explore your issue from many perspectives. Then we can co-design
customized, practical tools and resources that you can use to create on-going shifts within you that
empower you to create the changes and outcomes you want in your life.
