Why Somatic Coaching?

How somatic (or mind-body coaching) can make a difference for you:

Somatic coaching or mind-body coaching is a more powerful framework for transformation.

Traditional coaching or cognitive coaching is mind-based and relies on trying to change the mind to change experiences, behaviors, and actions. How many times have you tried to change your mind and found yourself acting habitually & unconsciously?

Here is the thing: our bodies are full of wisdom. We have automatic systems in place to protect us and ensure survival. Think of our stress responses like fight, flight, or flee. 

We are wired to survive! And no amount of thinking (or cognitive coaching) can overcome our automatic survival responses. 

To change long-term patterns, we have to address them using our whole-body intelligence, and this is where somatic coaching comes in. 

Somatic coaching is about the way we approach the coaching process & it includes awareness of body & mind, understanding how we are impacted by our experiences on both a conscious & unconscious level, regulation of our nervous system, and an embodied approach to change. 

It is quite literally…transformational. And it accelerates your results.

Why work with me?

Now that you know why somatic coaching is important, let me share some reasons you should work with me: 

 

I have 23 years of coaching experience working with thousands of individuals like you

If you want to accelerate transformation, working with an experienced coach does make a difference. Working with thousands of people from diverse countries, backgrounds & circumstances, means I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of experiences. I am able to hold a safe space for you to go deep & get more results.  

I have a superpower of cutting through the noise & getting to the deep truth

There are a lot of threads that weave your life, work & relationships together, but unraveling the right thread is the key to transformation. I have a gift for cutting through the noise & getting to the truth of your situation. This gift saves time & energy and allows us to quickly get to the heart of the matter.  

I am trauma-informed & understand the link between trauma & our life experiences 

Previous trauma informs our current experience. Whether it is big trauma or small moments of trauma, how we have been hurt, rejected or compromised, matters. Having a coach that understands how trauma works & how it affects your thinking, behaviors and practices means that we can bring to light what has been unconscious & hidden and expand your capacity to change. NOTE: we will not be working directly with your past trauma, which is the role of a therapist. We will be working on current experiences that are tied to experiences in the past.   

I have done my own work, and yes, this makes a huge difference 

I started my self-development journey at 6 and have spent my life unraveling my patterns, beliefs, behaviors and experiences. I have completed hundreds of self-development courses & training, had my own therapists & coaches, and continue to spend time every day looking at my stuff. I have stuff! And always will. This is the nature of our humanity. Being committed to looking at myself & owning my limitations, fears and struggles means that I am able to hold an honest & clean space for you.

Three somatic coaching programs to choose from:

Personal Development Coaching for Growth Seekers

A deep dive to unravel your patterns & re-align your life, work & relationships

Coaching for High Achievers

(AKA High-Functioning Survivors)

A program for burnout & stress relief. Learn to operate at your optimal pace

Embodied Leadership Coaching for Transformational Leaders

A mind-body approach to becoming the leader you want to be

Personal Development Coaching for Growth Seekers

A deep dive to unravel your patterns & re-align your life, work & relationships

Bottom line: You want more clarity right now, but you don’t want to waste your time working with another inexperienced coach or “expert”. 

You want to stop spinning. You know that long-term patterns are playing out. You are struggling to see through the weeds in this situation. You know that if you could just pull the right thread, you could unravel it all yourself because you have a lot of personal development experience, but right now you can’t see through the thick fog that’s right in front of you. The experience you are having is painful and it is getting in the way of what you want. You know you are ready for the right support.

This program will help you:

  • Gain clarity & a grounded awareness of yourself, the situation & the patterns at play
  • Unravel long-term patterns that have been getting in your way  
  • Determine what to do next 
  • Develop a deeper trust in yourself & your inner wisdom  
  • Open up a new set of personal growth tools for your toolbox
  • And so much more

A few of the steps we take:

Step 1: Resourcing. Before we go on the journey of unraveling your current situation, we have to gather the right set of tools for the trip. We will look at the tools in your toolbox, establish direction & determine your goals.  

Step 2: Unraveling. This is the bulk of this program & the good stuff. We will look at your current situation, unpack the patterns at play and bring to light your wisdom. This is where we discover the right threads to pull and arrive at the clarity you are seeking. 

Step 3: Re-shaping. New discoveries bring new wisdom, and with new wisdom comes a need to reshape our circumstances. This can be as simple as determining your next steps or it can be about making big decisions to re-align your life, work & relationships.

This 3-month program includes:

  • Your own curated private podcast with education, practices & session replays
  • Six 1:1 somatic coaching sessions (1 hour each) every other week
  • Specifically tailored education, practices & exercises for in-between sessions
  • A follow-up podcast episode with a summary of our work together & recommended next steps

Note: So much of the value is in the work that is done before & after sessions. The flow of the program & the curated podcast allows for reflection & insight, deep integration, and incorporates embodied practices. 

The investment: 4 payments of $625 (or $2000 as one upfront payment)

Who this program is best for: Someone experienced with personal development that wants to go deeper on a long-term pattern & make significant change in their life, work or relationships.

    Sonya is like no other coach or mentor I have ever worked with. Her genius goes beyond normal coaching to the much deeper self-work. The work that will dismantle and heal your personal blocks, standing in the way of you achieving what your heart truly desires. I have seen true transformation in my own life and in many others who have had the privilege of working with Sonya. She is truly gifted!

    Coaching for High Achievers (aka High-Functioning Survivors)

    A program for burnout & stress relief. Learn to operate at your optimal pace. 

    Bottom line: You are tired, exhausted & done with operating at a pace that is unsustainable, but everything you have tried so far isn’t working to change it. You are ready for help now.

    You have always been a high-achiever but you finally realize that your “achieving” is getting in the way of having the life, work & relationships you want. You over-service, over-function and over-deliver to everyone around you, and your struggle with having boundaries is real. You have done enough personal growth to realize that you are actually a high-functioning survivor. Your high achieving was required to make it this far, but now it is getting in the way of your joy, aliveness & fulfillment. You are ready for change! You are ready for more! You want to still find success, but in all areas of your life & you want to operate at a pace that works for you, not against you.

    This program will help you:

    • Gain the tools you need to slow down, reduce stress & eliminate burnout
    • Unravel the stress response patterns that helped you survive but not thrive
    • Have more confidence in handling stress, setting boundaries & managing your energy
    • Understand your optimal pace & re-align your life, work & relationships with natural energy
    • Build resilience practices 
    • And so much more

    A few of the steps we take:

    Step 1: Resourcing & Resilience Training. Before we unravel the stress responses that have kept you alive, we are going to replace them with resilience practices & tools that support your nervous system. We will also establish direction & determine your goals. This is a really important step that makes a huge difference to your results. 

    Step 2: Unraveling Long-term Patterns. We will dive into the root cause of your stress & gently unpack it so you can change long-term behaviors & patterns. We will work with the mind, body & nervous system to gently unwind the cause of your patterns, and not just manage the symptoms. 

    Step 3: Exploring your Optimal Energy Blueprint. Before we start a work/life re-balance, we need to understand your unique & optimal energy blueprint. What energizes you and what drains you? What is your ideal pace? 

    Step 4: Re-shaping. Once we unwind the patterns & understand your energy blueprint, we can begin to re-design your life, work & relationships to work with your energy, instead of against it.

    This 4-month program includes:

    • Your own curated private podcast with education, practices & session replays
    • Eight 1:1 somatic coaching sessions (1 hour each) every other week
    • Specifically tailored education, practices & exercises for in-between sessions
    • A follow-up podcast episode with a summary of our work together & recommended next steps

    Note: So much of the value is in the work that is done before & after sessions. The flow of the program & the curated podcast allows for reflection & insight, deep integration, and incorporates embodied practices. 

    The investment: 4 payments of $825 (or $2750 as one upfront payment)

    Who this program is best for: Someone struggling with stress, energy management & burnout. They know that their “achieving” is getting in the way of their quality of life & they are ready for change. They want to stop feeling that success comes at the cost of freedom & that freedom comes at the cost of success. 

      Before I worked with Sonya, I was burning out, stressed, working all hours & weekends. I was snappy with my family and totally living out of integrity with myself. Even after the first call with Sonya, it was a huge relief to talk through where I was at and that yes, in fact, what I was doing was not sustainable! I left the call with more space in my mind than I had in two years. I was motivated again and relieved that I didn’t need to keep doing what I was doing. I am now living a lifestyle I have only dreamt of.

      Embodied Leadership Coaching for Transformational Leaders

      A mind-body approach to becoming the leader you want to be. 

      Bottom line:

      Bottom line: You are ready to be a different kind of leader! You have had good intentions, but some of your practices lead to undesirable outcomes. You want to lead in a way that is aligned with your natural gifts & genius, and without compromising your values. 

      You want to be a transformational leader. You want to make a difference in the lives you touch. But some of your patterns & practices keep getting in the way. Changing your “mindset” is not working, and trying to control your reactions isn’t either. You need some help to unravel long-standing patterns in the way of your confidence, communication & influence.

      This program will help you:

      • Unravel the long-standing patterns that have been hindering your ability to lead
      • Work with the mind & body to transform how you are “practicing” leadership
      • Have clarity & a grounded awareness of your leadership potential – your innate strengths, genius & gifts
      • Gain confidence & practice in being the leader you want to be
      • Develop a deeper trust in yourself & your inner wisdom
      • Build a new set of leadership tools for your toolbox
      • And so much more

      A few of the steps we take:

      Step 1: Resourcing. Before we go on the journey of unraveling your current leadership practices & long-standing patterns, we have to gather the right set of tools & resources for the trip. We will also establish direction for this coaching program & get clear about goals & outcomes.

      Step 2: Unraveling. We are going to unravel your current leadership practices, who you are as a leader now & who you want to be. We will look at your innate energy, strengths, gifts & genius so you can create leadership practices that are more aligned with who you innately are. Here you will gain the insight & awareness you need & develop a deeper trust in your inner wisdom.

      Step 3: Re-shaping. This step is all about re-shaping your leadership to be who you want to be. I offer embodied practices & practical skills to take into your current leadership role. This also includes an exploration of your work/life balance & how to re-shape your life to support your leadership.

      This 4-month program includes:

      • Your own curated private podcast with education, practices & session replays
      • Eight 1:1 somatic coaching sessions (1 hour each) every other week
      • Specifically tailored education, practices & exercises for in-between sessions
      • A follow-up podcast episode with a summary of our work together & next steps

      Note: So much of the value is in the work that is done before & after sessions. The flow of the program & the curated podcast allows for reflection & insight, deep integration, and incorporates embodied practices. 

      The investment: 4 payments of $825 (or $2750 as one upfront payment)

      Who this program is best for: Someone in a leadership position who wants to become a more aligned & authentic leader. This includes producing more work/life balance & sustainability as a leader. 

        Sonya was such a pivotal person in shifting my mindset and getting me to understand my true talents and how to be confident in myself. I am over the moon that this year feels so much lighter & easier. I only worked with Sonya a year ago and the amount of change I have experienced is ridiculous. The value of working with Sonya is absolutely there. Sonya is a wonderful human being and she’s capable of being direct and honest and uncovering uncomfortable issues while also empowering you. If I get off track again in the future – she would be the first person I would contact.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        Including which program is right for you:
        Which of your programs is right for me?

        🌺 What is your top priority? Changing a long-term pattern, reducing stress & burnout, or re-shaping your leadership? All 3 of my programs follow a proven process that I have developed over the last 23 years. The difference is the context, and this context directs our focus & attention. If you don’t have a clear priority, I can help you determine which direction will make the most difference in your life right now. Just book a call below and we can figure this out together.

        Can I just do one or two coaching sessions instead of a full program?

        🌺 My programs focus on permanent and long-lasting change. This requires more than one or two sessions. After decades of experience, I know the sweet spot. To get the results of my programs, it requires a minimum of 3 months together. I don’t offer intro sessions or shorter packages. If you want to determine if I am the right fit for you, book an intro call below. You can also listen to my podcasts & follow me on social to get a feel for who I am and if you resonate with my work.

        Do you have options to continue working together after completion of a program?

        🌺 Yes! I offer maintenance packages after every program to continue our work together. We can continue at the same pace (2 sessions a month) or go down to a pace of 1 session a month. Some of my clients feel complete after their program, and others want to change focus or work on a deeper issue together. We can look at what is best for you upon completion of your program. 

        What makes your coaching different?

        🌺 As I mentioned at the beginning of this page, somatic coaching (mind-body coaching) makes my approach different. But since there are other somatic coaches out there, the other thing that makes my coaching different is my experience. I have a lot of tools in my toolbox and a lot of wisdom about what works and what doesn’t. Working with thousands of people offers a huge depth of knowledge to use. I am good at handling a wide array of situations, circumstances, and personalities. It means I can handle whatever surfaces and find the right path for your success.

        Why are your programs better than other programs out there?

        🌺 What makes my programs unique is the curated content and pace of the program. I have found that my clients get better results through the education, resources & exercises I provide in the private podcast. You are able to get the most out of our time together. I include time for integration and practice. It isn’t just about getting a lot done, but about embodying what you are learning & making long-lasting change. 

        What exactly is a private podcast & why do you use it?

        🌺 A private podcast is just like a public podcast that is designed ONLY for you. It is accessed on your favorite podcast player like any other podcast, but each recording is done for you. Why a private podcast? Because it makes learning & practicing easier for you. You can access it anywhere you have your mobile device. You can bring it to coffee shops, on your morning walk, or listen while you are cooking dinner. It can easily be stopped and started, and you don’t have the hassle of logging into another learning platform. I have been using private podcasts with clients for years and since using them, I have seen a huge difference in the results my clients get through their programs. Do you want accelerated results? Then you want one of my private podcasts.

        I have never done personal development or therapy before - is that okay?

        🌺 If you are interested in the stress management program, you don’t need personal development experience, but the other two programs are designed for individuals who have done a decent amount of self-reflection, therapy & personal development. I am happy to assess whether you are ready for this program, just sign up for a call below.

        What is the difference between somatic coaching & therapy?

        🌺 The lines are becoming more blurred. Many coaches are learning & practicing techniques also used by somatic therapists, but here are a few big differences: as a somatic coach I am not going to be unpacking your past trauma, I don’t diagnose or treat mental illness, and I know where to draw the line (when my coaching is entering a territory reserved for a therapist). I have referred many clients to therapists & I have many partners who are therapists. My coaching stays focused on your current experiences, while also working to reshape your future experiences. Being trauma-informed allows me to see how past trauma is shaping your current experience, but we don’t focus on working with old trauma. That being said, trauma can heal through this process.

        How much time do I have to invest in the program?

        🌺 How much time are you willing to invest in yourself, your joy, and your future? These are more of the right questions. I highly recommend spending a minimum of two hours a week working through different parts of this program. I make everything very manageable with micro-practices and exercises, but the more you invest and the more you practice, the more results you will get. We will explore the right pace for you at the beginning of the program.

        What is your cancellation and/or no-show policy?

        🌺 In general, there are no refunds or options for canceling a program once you have started. I take minimal 1:1 clients and your commitment to a spot means I had to let someone else go. If you have extreme circumstances, please reach out to me. Any exceptions to this policy are at the full discretion of Sonya Stattmann. The first payment secures your spot, and should you change your mind before our first session, your first payment will not be refunded. 

        I ask for 48 hours’ notice to re-schedule a session, but of course, there are extenuating circumstances I accept. If you are a complete no-show for our scheduled session, you will lose your session. 

        Are you a life coach, career coach, or leadership coach? And how do I know what I need?

        🌺 I became a “coach” before it was even a term. Over the last 23 years, I have done life coaching, career coaching, leadership coaching, business coaching, relationship coaching, and so much more. It isn’t the type of coach you need to worry about, but whether or not the coach can work with your situation, circumstance, or challenge. My clients are whole beings and so their life, work & relationships are woven through our whole coaching process. My coaching programs offer three specific directions: pattern unraveling, stress management & leadership development. I use somatic coaching as the process to engage the mind & body in transformation. 

        How do I get started?

        🌺 I like to work with clients who feel a “Hell, yes!” to the question of whether they want to work with me. If you really resonate with one or more of my programs, but still have questions, you can email me at sonya@sonyastattmann.com or book a call below. In an intro call, we can determine if I am a good fit for you and if you are a good fit for one of my programs. It is a quick & painless process. ;D If you want more time to get to know me, sign up for my Weekly Contemplation Emails, follow me on Linkedin, or listen to my podcasts.  

        I have another questions that isn't answered here!

        I am happy to answer any questions you have. Just email me at sonya@sonyastattmann.com.

        A little bit about me:

        So you can determine whether or not you resonate with me & my work:
        —> My Short Bio: 

        I have spent the last 23 years as an entrepreneur, trainer, coach & speaker focused on personal & organizational transformation. I have worked hands-on with thousands of leaders, business owners & individuals worldwide. I have done 1:1 coaching, group coaching, masterclasses, online & in-person courses, retreats, organizational training, speaking engagements & so much more. All my work has been focused on personal development, emotional intelligence & embodied transformation (before these subjects had labels). I have a TEDx talk, three podcasts of my own & have had the honor of being a writer, speaker or guest on numerous media outlets. I love to travel & experience the world, and have lived off and on as a nomad for many, many years traveling with my husband and two daughters. 

        —> My bottom line:

        I believe the world needs to change, and that we can no longer sustain the way we are operating. My work resides in the intersection between personal development & systemic transformation. Real transformation has to happen on a mind & body level. We can no longer ignore the way our trauma, psychology, mental health, and thinking affect our experiences, behaviors and actions. Our humanity is a great gift, and learning to embrace it is key to world change. 

        —> A few of my core beliefs: 
        1. Growth is a removal process: Deep & long-lasting personal or professional growth isn’t about adding another layer to your to-do list. It is about removing what is misaligned with your innate power & greatness. It is about doing a whole lot less & creating a whole lot more alignment! 
        2. You are already enough: You are already powerful, wise, aligned, worthy, free & full of gifts and genius. You are already enough. You already have everything you need inside of you. You don’t have to find it, you just have to reclaim it. 
        3. Tapping into your whole-body wisdom is key: Your body is full of wisdom. It knows what you need, where to go, and what you need to do to get there. We have been taught to work against our bodies & this leads us off course. Learning to trust yourself & your whole-body wisdom is key to growth, fulfillment & success. 
        —> A few personal things about me:

        I love coffee & good food! I am a big fan of taking things slow. I love people & have hope for our future. I love foreign drama series, especially from Turkey and Spain. I love learning & am always reading multiple books. I have done A LOT of personal development, run a metaphysical school, and have been delving into the emotional & spiritual realms since I was a child. I am grounded & comfortable with who I am in all my strengths and weaknesses. I am always shedding what no longer serves me and that means I am not afraid of change. I value integrity, family, compassion & empathy & being our full selves.

        Achieving in balance

        Being a high achiever, I have always been driven to achieve my goals but usually while feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Sonya has taught me how to create balance and space so that I can actually enjoy my life while also achieving. I am also far more grounded and confident in being my authentic self.

        Client Anna Coaching review

        A Moment of Enlightenment!

        “I have not come across anyone as honest, intuitive & wise in the self-development world as Sonya. Every event, training, or coaching session with her is a moment of enlightenment – she doesn’t offer a template but holds space for you to uncover your own truth. The skills I have learned in this program are amazing: better communication, self-care, better planning, leadership, and many more.”

        Client Sarah Coaching review

        Content, Happy & Aligned!

        “The personal transformation has been immeasurable. I came into the work with Sonya feeling like I was hiding a huge part of myself and my past. By working through the program and with support from Sonya, the universe, and divine timing, I felt I was ready to accept my story (the unedited version) and then use my experiences to pave out a path forward in my life that makes me feel content, happy and aligned with who I am.”

        Client Cath Coaching review

        Blows my Mind all the Shifts!

        “I worked with Sonya and it blows my mind because of the shifts and changes that have happened. The work that I have done with her has been so profound for me all around internal shifts. When I first started working with her, I really didn’t know my value, but she helped me very quickly and easily understand the tremendous value I had to offer people. I had no doubts anymore. That was a big factor in my business, very quickly, becoming very successful.”

        Sonya Cuts through the Noise

        “When I met Sonya, I knew that we had to work together. Sonya’s gift is helping you to unfold your genius. She has a way where she cuts through the noise and you start to really see yourself. I came out of my work with Sonya thinking that it was the best investment I have ever made. And after our work together, I knew that I had come home. She enabled me to come back to myself and what I love, in a strategic and beautiful way.”
