1:1 Visionary Somatic Coaching

Bespoke somatic coaching for coaches, consultants and creatives who are still holding back on their visibility, expression and voice.

Outwardly Successful. Secretly Underwhelmed.

Finally go for what you’ve always wanted — and find out what becomes possible when you do. 

You’ve built something real. You’re good at what you do. You may even be successful by most measures.

And yet, something feels quieter than it used to.

Perhaps you’ve become very good at showing up for others, making things happen and doing what’s expected of you, while your own voice, creativity and desires have gradually become harder to hear.

Perhaps you can hold a stage, a room or a mic with ease, yet when you’re speaking, something of your real voice gets lost along the way.

You know there’s more of you there.

But thinking your way towards it hasn’t quite been enough.

This is a space to slow down, listen differently and reconnect with what you already know beneath the noise.

Through movement, somatic awareness, creative exploration and deep conversation, we work with what is happening in your body — not just what you can explain with your mind.

The intention is simple: to help you become more grounded, trust yourself more deeply, and feel inspired to go for what you actually want.

This Is For You If:

You are a coach, consultant or creative who has built something meaningful, but privately knows there are parts of yourself you’re not fully expressing.

You give a lot to others. You listen, support, create, advise, hold responsibility and make things happen. And perhaps you’ve become much better at giving than receiving.

You may recognise yourself in some of these:

  • You are successful on the outside, but something inside feels flat, disconnected or less alive than you remember.
  • You have ideas, desires or creative impulses that you keep postponing because there always seems to be something more practical, sensible or urgent to deal with first.

  • You understand yourself well intellectually, but still find yourself repeating patterns you thought you had already worked through.

  • You want to express yourself more honestly, whether that is through your work, your voice, your creativity or the choices you make.

  • You’ve spent a long time being the capable one, the person others rely on, and you’re ready for a space where you don’t have to hold everything together.

  • You sense that the next stage of your life or work requires something different from you — not more information, but a deeper relationship with yourself.

  • You want to speak, present or be more visible while staying connected to the depth and authenticity of your work.

Why Visionary Somatic Coaching?

If you could think your way out of this, you probably would have by now.

You already have insight. You may have done therapy, coaching, meditation, yoga, personal development or years of your own inner work. But knowing something intellectually and being able to live from that knowing are not always the same thing. Your body is involved in how you make decisions, how you relate, how you express yourself, how you respond to uncertainty and how much space you allow yourself to take. This is where somatic coaching can offer something different.

Rather than trying to think your way towards the answer, we pay attention to what is happening in your body as you explore the questions that matter. Through movement, breath, sensation, creative expression and conversation, you begin to notice what your body is communicating — including the places where you habitually override yourself, hold back or move away from what you really want.

When you are more connected to yourself, there is often more space for clarity, choice and creative expression.

This isn’t about becoming a different person.
It is about becoming more honest with the person you already are.

The Journey: Embody → Alchemise → Express

Every 1:1 journey is different because it is shaped around you. Your history, your current circumstances, your body, your work, your relationships, your creative life and the questions you are living with all become part of the work. I use a three-part framework to guide the journey:

Embody

Reconnect with your body as a source of information, awareness and inner authority. We explore sensation, breath, movement and presence, developing your capacity to notice what is happening before automatically moving into thought or action.

Alchemise

Bring awareness to the patterns that shape how you relate, create and express yourself. We explore what your body may be holding onto, what you have learned to suppress or override, and what becomes possible when those patterns are met with curiosity rather than judgement.

Express

Give what you discover somewhere to go. Through movement, voice, creative exploration and embodied practice, we work with your capacity to communicate, create and act from a place that feels more genuinely your own.

What Specifically Shifts in This 1:1 Container?

There is an arc to the work: Embody into grounded presence, Alchemise into a renewed sense of self, confidence and courage, and Express into inspiration and the agency to take action towards your goals and dreams. The way you move through each stage is shaped around you, your circumstances and what is asking for your attention now.

You may experience shifts such as:

 

Feeling more grounded. Having more capacity to stay connected to yourself while navigating uncertainty, change or the demands of everyday life.

Trusting yourself more deeply. Becoming more able to recognise what you actually feel, want and know, and to prioritise that more.

Hearing your own voice more clearly. Noticing where you adapt, hold back or second guess yourself, and creating more room for honest expression. 

More freedom around your choices. Having greater awareness of the patterns that influence your decisions, so you have more choices about how you respond. 

Being inspired to actually go for what you want. Allowing your desires, ideas and creative impulses to become something you can actually move towards, rather than continually putting off. 

It doesn’t mean everything becomes neatly resolved. Rather, you develop a deeper relationship with yourself so that you can meet your life and work with greater honesty, presence and trust.

What does 1:1 container look like?

This is a deep, bespoke container designed around what you need, what emerges, what becomes increasingly clear. 

We generally work together for either 3 or 6 months with sessions held online via Zoom.

The exact rhythm can be shaped around your circumstances, and sessions can be weekly or fortnightly, depending on length.

Each session may combine:

  • Coaching and reflective conversation

  • Somatic movement

  • Breath and nervous system awareness

  • Creative exploration

  • Body-based inquiry

  • Voice and expressive practices

  • Where to apply and take action in your work and life.

This is your time. Your time to listen to you, your time to be heard and seen. Your time to be supported, to actualise what  may be waiting to come through for you.

Between Sessions:

Where appropriate I will suggest and give you personalised practices, reflections and any materials that I feel can support you; to explore between sessions – to help integrate, deepen and evolve whatever comes to light.

You will also have ongoing support between meet ups – I will be available to answer your messages during weekday hours. 

A 3 or 6 month Journey: A deeper space for meaningful change – from £3000

• Deep Personalisation: Every session is shaped around you and what you most need to explore. Sessions are generally weekly or fortnightly, depending on what feels most supportive for you. The rhythm can also change as your needs change.

• Somatic and Creative Practices: Personalised movement, breath and embodied practices where appropriate.

• Integration: Support to bring what you discover into your actual life, relationships and work.

• Between Session Support: Space to stay connected to the process between our sessions.

• A relationship with the work: Rather than working towards a prescribed destination, we follow what is genuinely emerging and meaningful for you.

Is 1:1 Bespoke Right For You? (Versus Reclaim You)

Both offers work with the same underlying principles, but they offer very different experiences.

 

Reclaim You is a guided group journey with a shared framework, practices and the energy of moving through the work alongside others.

1:1 Visionary Somatic Coaching is entirely personalised. 

It is for you if you want the work to centre around your specific circumstances, patterns, creative questions and current edge.

Choose 1:1 if:
  • You want dedicated attention and a space shaped entirely around you.

  • You are navigating a particular personal, creative or professional threshold.

  • You want the privacy of a one-to-one container.

  • You value flexibility in the pace and focus of the work.

  • You want sustained support as you explore and integrate something important in your life.

  • You are ready to give this work your full attention.

Ready to Step Out of the Wings?

This work is for coaches, consultants and creatives who are ready to stop waiting

and send the pitch, offer the talk, begin the book, or finally create what they’ve been carrying for a while — trusting their own voice as they do.

If something in you recognises this, let’s have a conversation.

A Note From Helene

I have spent five decades studying the body as a map of the soul — in movement studios, in sacred spaces, in the wild, and in the quiet of my own practice.

This work is rooted in a rich lineage: yoga, person centred counselling, somatic movement education, dance movement therapy, body-mind centering, the Halprin Life Art Process, and nature-based and ecstatic dance traditions.

Ancient in origin, infused with neuroscience, immediately practical in application. It also draws from my own experience as a dancer, creative and facilitator, and from years of working with people who are looking for something deeper than intellectual understanding.

What I know, more than anything, is that the body reveals what the mind edits.

It holds the stories we have forgotten, the truths we have been afraid to speak, and the aliveness ready to return.

This work is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you already are — and giving that person the space, the permission, and the movement to fully arrive.

What clients say

I love your way of working with me. You have got such wisdom, humbleness and congruence about you that I feel very honoured to have these sessions with you...this is coming from my heart!'
Satu
Esalen Therapist
Helene gave me four one-on-one sessions using somatic explorations and exercises.
The first three sessions were characterised by a feeling of being stuck or trapped and wanting to open out. The final one was more like a release into something new.
Susan Brown
Yoga Teacher
I now feel more in touch with my body and what it needs and will start experimenting with moving in different ways.
Thanks Helene for your wisdom and insight. You've definitely opened up possibilities to me that I'd been wanting to move towards but didn't know how to!
Josie Cowgill
Nutritionist
I really love the way in which you ran each class, giving us pointers and guidance, it gave the whole experience so much more depth than just dancing freely or 5 rhythms.
Zoe Maughan

I was lucky to find Helene. She encouraged me to feel my way to accessing movement in my locked elbow.. I felt not only increased mobility, but a freedom to be in touch with my wildness and aliveness. Thank you, Helene.
Annaliza Thomson
Holistic Therapist and Sleep Coach
Helene holds a really safe space. Her solidity based on her own life wisdom and willingness to dance into the unknown helped me to gain real insight....I learnt to move my body in new ways which opened me up to different places to move into in life.

Frequently Asked Questions about Visionary Somatic Coaching

How is this different from regular coaching?
This isn’t mindset-only coaching.
We work with your whole experience — thoughts, emotions, sensations, movement, breath, voice and creative expression.
Rather than simply talking about what is happening, we can explore how it is showing up in your body and what happens when you relate to it differently.
The aim isn’t to replace thinking, but to bring the intelligence of your body into the conversation.
No.

This isn’t about dance technique, choreography or being good at moving.
You don’t need to consider yourself a dancer at all.
The movement is a way of listening, exploring and discovering. Everything is invitational and adapted to your body and your experience.

This work may be right for you if you have already done a fair amount of personal development and understand yourself well, but sense that something is still not translating into how you actually live.
Perhaps you know what you want but keep holding yourself back.
Perhaps you can see the pattern but can’t seem to change your relationship with it.
Or perhaps you simply know that the way you’re living and working no longer quite fits who you are becoming.
If that resonates, a conversation can be a good place to begin.
Every journey is different, and I don’t promise a particular result.
The intention is to support you to become more grounded, trust yourself more deeply, and feel inspired to go for what you want.
You may also notice greater awareness around your patterns, more freedom in your choices, a clearer relationship with your voice and a greater capacity to express what matters to you.
All practices are invitational rather than forced, and you will learn ways to listen to your body without overriding your own boundaries.
However, this is coaching rather than clinical trauma therapy.
If you are experiencing significant trauma-related symptoms or need clinical therapeutic support, I will always encourage you to work with an appropriately qualified mental health professional alongside or instead of this work.
Much of the work happens through your own experience of your body, so it can work surprisingly well online.
You will have space to move, breathe and explore in the privacy of your own environment, while I guide and respond to what I notice.
Sessions take place via Zoom, and I will always adapt the practice to what feels appropriate and accessible for you.

READY TO EXPLORE 1:1?

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin.
You simply need to recognise that something in you is asking for more attention.
More honesty.
More space.
More trust in what you already know.
If something in you feels ready, I invite you to book a call.
