trauma-informed somatic coaching

Have you ever asked yourself "why do I keep doing this "thing", if what I really want is something completely different...?

IMAGINE if...

•You could feel safer in your body?

•You could feel deeply, without getting overwhelmed by the experience?

• You could reclaim your life after stress, burnout, and trauma?

•You felt agency, confidence, and passion to move towards the life you desire?

•You befriended your nervous system and your body became the source of your inner wisdom and resilience?

• The emotions you’ve been avoiding held the key to your instincts, healing, and embodied transformation?

• You could compassionately shed old patterns that are no longer serving you?

•You stopped trying to “understand” or “fix” your trauma and slowly started to feel it untangle and transform?

•You knew how to move through life’s challenges with greater ease and resilience?

•You found your voice and stopped making yourself small ?

•You stopped looking for answers externally because you deeply connected to your embodied Self and knew all the answers have been inside you all along?

Imagine healing wasn’t about fixing yourself, only about remembering your wholeness...?

Welcome to Integrative Somatic Healing Coaching

Have you ever asked yourself ” why do I keep doing this “thing”, if what I really want is something completely different…?

Imagine if your soma, or living body, could become your greatest ally in creating sustainable embodied transformation and moving you toward the life you desire?

For many of us, life’s challenges—whether they come from emotional overwhelm, burnout, unresolved survival stress (traumatic experiences), or from living in this chaotic and unjust world we find ourselves today—leave us feeling stuck or disconnected (or worse). These patterns often show up as tension or other chronic symptoms in the body, racing or intrusive thoughts, disconnection from our body, anxiety, depression, cycles of shame or self doubt, embodied habits or conditioned ways of being that may no longer serve us, inner conflict (a part of us wants one thing, but another wants the opposite), or other adaptive patterns and parts that live deep in the shadows of the nervous system and subconscious mind, that often feel impossible to change.

But here’s the truth: you’re not stuck because you’re broken. It’s quite possible that you’re not moving forward in life because your body has been working hard to protect you. There is wisdom in “resistance”, your soma is wired for survival.

I recommend coaching sessions with Olga, she works in a very interesting trend that helps us connect with our body, emotions and the information it brings us. Moreover, she radiates peace and sensitivity, everything that happened during this session was a tender invitation to explore specific questions and spaces in the body, paying attention to the fact that I only enter what I want, there was a lot of attention to my boundaries and emotions. Already during the first session, I discovered something very important for myself, which is a signal that Olga knows how to guide another person 🙂

I recommend sessions with Olga, thanks to our meeting we went very deep into meeting my parts, my awareness of what I feel in my body has increased, which means I have gained a greater connection with myself, this meeting I feel has initiated greater awareness of myself, I recommend.

A rare gem. Olga is taking communication with customers to a whole new level: she is extremely polite and empathetic. I felt very comfortable during somatic coaching sessions with her. I am grateful to her for helping me discover some valuable ideas. And, this is big plus for me, Olga speaks perfect

The Missing Piece: Your Soma

When the body feels safe, healing happens naturally.

Somatic practices guide the body from a state of protection (survival) to connection (thriving), unlocking resilience, vitality, and the capacity for joy. Healing isn’t about “fixing” you; it’s about reconnecting with the wholeness that’s always been within. Through somatic coaching, you’ll rediscover:

•Your inner wisdom and embodied self-energy.

•A deeper connection to yourself and others.

•The ability to set healthy boundaries and trust your instincts.

Trauma isn’t just what happens to you—it’s how your nervous system responds when overwhelmed. It doesn’t always stem from “big events.” Trauma can arise from systemic oppression, chronic stress, intergenerational wounds, or unmet needs for safety and belonging. As Dr. Peter Levine says, “Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”

When survival energy like adrenaline and cortisol is trapped in the body, it causes chronic dysregulation, leading to:

•Emotional reactivity, numbness, or disconnection.

•Chronic tension, pain, or fatigue.

•Difficulty trusting yourself or others.

•Feeling stuck in old patterns.

Somatic healing addresses this by gently working with the body and nervous system to process and release stored energy, focusing on the root causes rather than just the symptoms. This approach creates lasting transformation, resilience, and wholeness by honoring your unique experiences and guiding you step by step back to your embodied Self.

Our bodies hold the stories of our experiences, including intergenerational ones. They store emotions, memories, beliefs, and conditioned patterns that influence how we interact with the world. Integrative somatic coaching helps you listen to and reconnect with these internal stories through the body, not just the mind. It supports you in breaking free from survival stress and automatic conditioning, leading to more clarity, ease, agency, and connection in life—making intentional choices rather than reactive ones.

If traditional coaching, self-help books, or years of talk therapy haven’t brought the transformation you seek, you’re not alone. These methods often overlook the body and subconscious mind. As Dr. Bessel van der Kolk notes in The Body Keeps the Score, “Our body keeps an accurate score of what we’ve lived through, even when our mind cannot.”

Somatic techniques use the mind-body connection and neural plasticity to gently unwind old protective patterns, signaling to the body that it’s safe in the present moment. By befriending your body, you can create new pathways for healing, growth, and sustainable transformation.

All of you is welcome here.

more about me

What integrative somatic coaching is and what it isn't.

I always start by meeting you where you are, deeply believing in your potential, resourcefulness, creativity, and your body’s resilience. As an integrative somatic coach, I’m here to support you in befriending your body and accessing your inner wisdom, guiding you toward the life you desire. This journey is about experiencing the felt sense of your body, uncovering wisdom, and finding solutions through embodiment. It’s about reconnecting with the different parts of you, gently addressing internal conflicts and protective patterns.

Somatic Coaching vs. Therapy

Somatic coaching is self-led, focusing on empowering you to become the expert of your experience. Unlike traditional therapy, which often involves a professional diagnosing and treating, somatic coaching honors the wisdom of your body and respects your autonomy. It rejects the oppressive “power-over” dynamics historically found in psychiatry, offering a more hopeful and sustainable path to healing.

Here’s how somatic coaching differs from therapy and why it’s empowering:

Reframing Trauma as Adaptation, Not Brokenness

In somatic coaching, trauma isn’t viewed as a defect but as a natural survival response to overwhelming experiences. This perspective shifts the narrative from “brokenness” to adaptation, validating your body’s reactions as forms of self-protection. When your body feels safe, it naturally returns to balance and healing, offering a profound sense of hope.

Rejecting “Power-Over” Dynamics

Traditional models often position the therapist as the expert. In somatic coaching, you are the expert of your experience, and I’m here as a guide. Together, we’ll work with tools and practices that help you reconnect with your own wisdom, fostering a sense of agency and making you an active participant in your healing journey.

Healing as a Return to Wholeness, Not a Fix

Healing isn’t about fixing something broken but about reconnecting with disowned parts of yourself, restoring safety and balance. Through somatic practices like nervous system regulation and parts work, we’ll gently integrate your experiences, helping you feel whole and resilient.

Sustainability Through Self-Leadership

Somatic coaching focuses on self-led healing, providing you with tools and insights that extend beyond our sessions. This process builds long-term resilience, helping you navigate future challenges with awareness and self-regulation, ensuring that your healing grows from within.

Countering Psychiatry’s Oppressive History

This approach counters the harmful practices of psychiatry’s past by honoring diversity, valuing safety and choice, and avoiding the pathologization of trauma. It creates a safer, more inclusive space for healing, free from coercion and shame.

Hope Through the Wisdom of the Body

Your body isn’t working against you; it’s working for you. By understanding that your responses are adaptive and protective, you can begin to partner with your body in healing. This realization becomes a profound source of hope and empowerment.

A Model of Liberation

Ultimately, somatic coaching is about liberation—freeing you from oppressive narratives, power-over systems, and the belief that healing depends on external authority. It celebrates self-trust, resilience, and connection, offering a humane and sustainable way forward.

In this coaching partnership, we’ll focus on your intentions, what you want to embody, and how you want to be in the world—with presence and purpose. We’ll work with the emergent wisdom from your body, not by retelling past trauma but by creating somatic awareness and a safe space for your body to release stored stress in the present moment.

When your body feels safe, it naturally moves from survival to homeostasis, where healing and growth occur organically. This journey is a return to your true embodied self, a life of meaning, purpose, and unapologetic aliveness—your birthright.

Somatic coaching isn’t psychotherapy; it’s a partnership that empowers you to reconnect with your body’s wisdom, creating sustainable, embodied transformation from the inside out.

love notes

I was feeling really inspired and grounded after having a 50-minute coaching session with Olga. I feel really grateful for her questions, her guidance, her wisdom and making me feel like my conclusions were important, sacred. It is not easy to dive into yourself when you're a ball of hormonal mess but sure it is possible and it gives tons of hope and motivation! Thank you once again. BT W. Check out her instagram, it's really inspiring 🙂

Bożena W

I had the pleasure of being held by Olga in Coaching. She brings together compassion, a strong sense of perception and accuracy. I felt very safe being guided by her into my body and gathering the insights and understanding of my next steps each time. Olga has a strong presence, big heart and knowledge in many fields of work that comes together into the coaching practice.

not ready to commit for 12 weeks?

It’s ok, I get it. Commitments can sometimes be overwhelming. There is no rush, no right or wrong way to do this. And at the same time if you feel a curiosity in you, maybe it’s worth some further exploration in a 90 minute embodied transformation session? Only you know the answer to that question, trust your intuition =)

still not sure?

It’s totally ok to not know.

What informs our coaching partnership together:

Integrative Somatic Coaching

Integrative Somatic Coaching, or mind-body coaching, refers to a way of coaching that is holistic and sees you as a whole person, not just your mind, stories and goals. The body-mind is thought to be a living organism that is shaped by all our life experiences and is made up of our sensations, emotions, internal narratives, relational stances, actions and non actions. It is influenced by modern science and ancient and indigenous wisdom from traditions and lineages like: Somatic Psychology, Mindfulness, Gestalt, Taoism, Yoga, Focusing, Aikido, Hakomi, Humanistic + Depth Psychology, Art Therapy, and the latest research from Neurophysiology, Polyvagal Theory, Trauma-Informed care, and Interpersonal Neuro-biology. This body-centred approach guides you to connect with yourself and create impact and transformation on all levels – body, mind and spirit – far beyond the term of a coaching contract. A trauma-informed approach means we are aware of the nuances of working with folk who might still hold implicit traumatic memories in their body. So understanding the prevalence of trauma in our culture, how that past wounds might still affects our present day experience, and how to reframe it as a superpower and future focused solutions.

Somatic Parts Work

Humans are complex with many layers and parts. This has been addressed by different schools of thought like Carl Jung’s shadow working to a more contemporary take by Dick Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems model of parts. Generally the parts that live in the shadow of our psyche, body, and nervous system are the parts of us we’ve orphaned, denied, or hid away since childhood to get our needs of safety, belonging, satisfaction, and dignity met. They are automatic and live in our subconscious mind and autonomic nervous system, starting out as adaptations and survival, and end up as our prison of conditioning and embodied protective habits. There are younger more vulnerable parts that may be frozen time holding to wounds, unprocessed emotions, and left with a desperate need for soothing, compassion and healing. To protect these younger parts from being triggered, there are the more vicious and controlling protective parts that adapted in genius ways to keep us safe. These protectors act as our armour of thought patterns and behaviours that will do anything (even if it may seem destructive) in their power to not feel that pain, shame, grief, or loneliness from the past. Integrating our shadow self means acknowledging and honoring all parts of Self, both the beautiful and the nasty ones, and seeing their innate goodness. We can compassionately shed these ways of being and we don’t have to keep reliving or talking about the past to do so, we can help these parts feel seen, heard, safe, loved, and worthy in the PRESENT MOMENT. When we integrate and befriend these parts we step into our embodied authenticity, wholeness, enoughness, personal authority, agency, and a deep wild trust and intimate relationship with our own Self.

Polyvagal Theory

Polyvagal theory is the science of feeling safe. Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, the theory focuses on internal experience and the nervous system, and emphasises how our feeling of safety or danger can color our perception and affect our thoughts, behaviours, emotions. If our body is “stuck” in this survival stress of perceived danger, wether real like a tiger or “in our head” like deadlines or financial debt, our nervous system could become dysregulated – meaning it could remain in a self-protective mode of fight, flight, freeze, fawn, shutdown. Knowledge is power and using PVT as a framework we can start to understand and even befriend our nervous sytem, becoming more aware of your physiological states and what you may need in the moment, more connected to Self and others, mores resilient, more self-compassionate and regulated (meaning having more capacity to be with life and come back to baseline, aka your HOME in homeostasis where the body rests, digests, and heals).

Trauma Healing Yoga TCTSY

TCTSY (Trauma Center trauma sensitive yoga) is the original yoga for trauma. It was developed based on studies by world renown trauma-expert Dr. Bessel van der Kolk. In TCTSY elements of traditional hatha yoga are modified to maximise experiences of empowerment, and to cultivate a more positive relationship to one’s body. The emphasis isn’t on the external expression or appearance, or receiving approval , rather, the focus is on the internal (somatic) experience and making choices based on those sensations – this allows fold to restore body-mind connection and cultivate agency which is often compromised by trauma. It’s the first yoga-based empirically validated, clinical intervention based on trauma theory, attachment science, neurophysiology of trauma, yoga philosophy and intersectionality.

Integration

Integration means bringing together all our insights, learnings, complexities and parts and making space for them to coexist together in the present moment. Knowing that the pain of the past doesn’t define who we are as a person, we are so much more than that! It can still hurt and show up sometimes, but we don’t have to continue living in the past. Integration is a process of learning how to live with all the pain as well as the pleasure, the sadness and the joy, the courage and bravery, in a sustainable way. By integrating all these parts we are “whole-ing”, or becoming whole, and creating a life that feels better than before. It’s when our body catches up to our mind, and perhaps even spirit. When the transformation happens not just by understanding and knowing, but also by embodying, sensing and feeling. We might integrate through words, sounds, images, art, dance, or movement. There’s no one right way to make sense of and incorporate all your insights, emotions, and changes into your everyday life.

Somatic Trauma Healing

An integrated somatic approach to trauma healing that combines insights from Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Neuroscience, Attachment Science, and HeartMath Institute’s Heart Coherence to offer a holistic, body-centered framework. This approach recognizes that trauma isn’t just an event but a disruption in our body-mind’s capacity to adapt, thrive, and flourish. It acknowledges the body’s relationship with social, environmental, developmental, relational, spiritual, and cultural factors, offering a deeper understanding of how trauma impacts us on multiple levels. Trauma can manifest when we experience too much too soon, too much for too long, or not enough for too long. It often involves a loss of power and agency, where our primal protective instincts are thwarted, and there isn’t enough time, space, or permission to heal. Symptoms can surface immediately or emerge over time as the body and mind struggle to process and adapt to these overwhelming experiences. These symptoms may include physical tension, emotional distress, psychological challenges, and relational difficulties. The combination of these frameworks provides practical tools that help access the innate wisdom within the body, guiding the healing process. By integrating somatic practices with an understanding of the nervous system, attachment dynamics, and heart coherence, we can foster profound and lasting transformation. This approach allows us to not only heal from trauma but to reclaim our power, restore our connection to the present moment, and rediscover the resilience and wisdom inherent in our bodies. When we listen deeply to the body’s messages, we coming home to our body, transforming our lives and the world.

My mentors and teachers

I am passionate about this work of mind, body, heart, spirit, nervous system growth, healing, and transformation and I don't stick to one discipline or methodology because I believe there's no one size fits because we are complex living beings. My embodiment practice is integrative and nuanced. I believe there is wisdom in the science, soma and spirituality and I’m constantly learning and being shaped by the teachings and work of my mentors: Ram Dass, Jack Kornfield, Staci Haines, Peter Levine, Eugene Gendlin, Dave Emerson, Bessel Van der Kolk, Dr.Stephen Porges, Heartmath Institute, Alan Watts, Wilhelm Reich, Gabor Maté, Kai Cheng Tom, Manuela Mischke Reeds, Dick Swartz, Dr. Rae Johnson, Carl Jung, Dr. Scott Lyons, Irene Lyon, Deb Dana, Fran D.

Mindfulness

the Buddha taught something profound that's at the heart of what it means to become embodied, that being mindful of the sensations that arise in your body without clinging to them or pushing them away is essential to spiritual practice. New science is also telling us that it is also essential for our physical, psychological, and emotional wellbeing. Mindfulness is the opposite of this wandering, chatty, anxious, automatic brain ( the default mode network ) It invites us to welcome the felt sense of our internal landscape (embodiment) and to start to notice more and become more connected and attuned to ourselves and then out the Outer world. Default network is responsible for our rumination, our ego sense of self, and all the THINKING… it creates our virtual reality in a sense. WIth embodied mindfulness we start to see the things that are brain has been filtering out that wasn’t important to our survival to getting our needs met and all these automatic instinct… There is evolutionary intelligence to all of this, and it’s the reason our species has dominated the planet and at the same time this is also the source of the destruction and suffering on our planet… Because if we’re just up in our head and disconnected from our body, we also disconnect from our hearts, spirit, and what makes us human: our ability to care and share with other humans and all other living beings on our Earth. When we start here, in the home our body, we begin to rest in our heart. This naturally relaxes the contraction, the craving, the self’ing, and creates a felt sense of safe enoughness, resource, wholeness, and wellness to start to take off the armour we’ve been wearing.

I promise to follow the ethical guidelines set by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). You can check out those guidelines at www.coachingfederation.org/ethics if you’re interested. I believe in your ability to attune to yourself, learn the language of your body and embody your FULL aliveness and potentia, and at the same time, it may sometimes be difficult to recognize it in ourselves. That’s why it can be beneficial to have a supportive, attuned, regulated, and empathetic person who knows just what it’s like guiding and walking with you, as you come home and embody your authentic Self.
