Somatic Coaching

An Inner Journey of Self-discovery, Healing & Growth

Welcome to my Practice

I am a Hakomi Informed Somatic Coach, currently deepening my training in the Hakomi Method to become a Hakomi Practitioner. I am IFS (Internal Family Systems) Informed, Polyvagal Informed, and have a foundation in Buddhist Psychology and Contemplative Practice, and as a Meditation and Mindful Self-Compassion Teacher.

I have found that the Hakomi method so beautifully embodies all of the principles, practices and qualities that I live and work with, and that have been integral in my own ongoing journey of self-discovery, healing and growth. It is the truest expression I have found of how I am able to share this beautiful work with others.

Hakomi Informed Somatic Coaching:

Applies the principles of the Hakomi Method of Mindfulness based Somatic Psychotherapy to a Somatic Coaching framework.

Hakomi is a Hopi Indian word meaning: “Who am I?” 

Often the simplest way to describe Hakomi is “assisted Self-discovery”

It is a gentle yet powerful experiential method that uses Somatic Awareness, Mindfulness of present moment experience, and Compassion to reconnect us with the Wisdom of our Body, and support our Innate impulses towards Healing and Well-being.

We use the body and it’s world of sensations, feelings, tensions and movement as an access point for discovering, understanding and processing our underlying experience. 

By bringing Kindness, Curiosity and Acceptance to our experience, our subconscious can feel safe enough to reveal itself. This allows us to gently access, hold and get to know the deeper parts of our being, including the Core Beliefs, Memories and Habitual Patterns, that unconsciously shape our thoughts, emotions and behaviours.

These Discoveries and Insights gradually open up New Possibilities, Choices and Experiences, that allow for greater Nourishment and Connection, and a more Integrated and Embodied way of Being.

Testimonials

  • My somatic coaching sessions with Keah provided a nurturing invitational space where we could open into the wisdom and unfolding of a deeply intelligent process.

    With the support of Keah’s compassionate and skillful guidance, I felt courageous enough to explore some painful body armor and the tender childhood wounds it protected.

    Accepting vulnerability and sensitivity as a gift, rather than something to cover up and be ashamed of is a beautiful realisation that came out of our process.

    It is not a process and a journey which I could embark on alone.  I am grateful for Keah’s reflection and guidance, which embodied such warmth, ease and skill.

    ~ Elaine (Practice Client)

  • “I had four one-on-one sessions with Keah in her home, and the experience was profound. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, seen, and completely at ease. Keah’s empathy, calm presence, and deep compassion created a space where I could explore parts of myself that had been at odds without even realising it.

    Through her skilful guidance, I experienced breakthroughs that left me feeling peaceful, aligned, and more aware of how to ‘be’ with my inner selves. I was astonished at the wisdom that emerged and how much inner conflict could gently resolve. Her warmth and trustworthiness allowed me to share far more than I expected, and I left each session feeling lighter, calmer, and deeply grateful.

    Keah is truly exceptional at this work, and I can’t recommend her enough for anyone ready to explore themselves with kindness and depth.”

    ~ Elly (Practice Client)

  • “My experience in my sessions with Keah was profoundly supportive and insightful.  Her gentle guidance created a safe and open space to get comfortable with what I had previously thought might be uncomfortable.

    The words that I can best use to express the experience are: subtle, unexpected, stillness, self-connection, wisdom, safe space, exploratory, insightful, gentle.”

    The impact of the work we did together has clearly been felt in my day-to-day life, and by my partner too. 

    ~ Marissa (Practice Client)

  • “I can highly recommend Keah. She holds the space with so much presence and compassion. Her guidance is gentle and clear. The sessions were very meditative and transformative, and I am already applying them in a very practical way in my every day.”
