1:1 somatic coaching - the unperforming coach

you checked Slack before you kissed your partner. again.
you snapped at your kids - not because they did something wrong, but because you had nothing left.
you said yes to another coffee date, another favour, another project - and cancelled the one thing that was for you.
you found a new high-intensity workout that promises results in 15 minutes. because even self-care has to be optimised.
you're googling "should i become a yoga teacher" at midnight. again.
you went to the gym to feel something. anything.
you said "i'm fine" to the person who would have listened.
you woke up tired and called it a productive week.
you already know what this is. you've been postponing the conversation.

what you get

eight 50-minute sessions over four months.
we meet every two weeks. online, video on, real conversation.
voice and text support between sessions.
when something comes up mid-week - a hard conversation, a body signal, a decision you're sitting with - you don't wait for the next call. you message. i respond.
a free discovery session before you commit.
we both decide if it's a fit. no pitch, no pressure.
tools adjusted to your process.
no standard worksheets. no templated journals. somatic exercises, prompts, whatever fits what you're working with - chosen for you, not for everyone.
you set the agenda. every session starts where you are, not where a syllabus says you should be.
a 30-minute check-in call three months after finishing.
because the real test isn't how you feel at the end of the four months. it's how you're operating when life has been life and the patterns have had time to test the work.
optional continuation after 4 months.
some clients find the work wants to keep going. if we both see space to continue, we shift to a monthly arrangement. no obligation either way - the four months stand on their own.

no prescribed homework. no workbooks. no performance mode.

how the work works

coaching with me is not a course, a method, or a step-by-step framework. it's a four-month container where two things happen at once.

the strategic conversation. how you work, lead, decide, and spend your days. the patterns showing up in your job, your team, your relationships, your time. the things you keep saying yes to. the things you keep avoiding. the way you talk to yourself when no one's watching.

the somatic work. what your body has been holding while your mind has been running. sometimes that's learning to recognise sensations you've been ignoring for years. sometimes it's connecting to your breath. sometimes we spend an entire session moving and unlocking deeper blockages that have been waiting for you to slow down enough to feel them.

both at the same time. because the patterns you can't think your way out of are the ones living in your body. and the body-based shifts that don't connect back to how you actually live get lost by Tuesday.

zuz, thoughtful expression, in conversation

who i am

i know what it feels like to lie on a showroom floor between presentations, so exhausted that a bread roll tastes like the best meal of your life. i spent a decade performing - in corporate, in tech, in crypto - before i understood the pattern wasn't in the job. it was in me.

i'm trained in ICF, co-active, and embodiment principles. but i don't run you through a curriculum. you're in the driver's seat. i'm the co-pilot.

how it works

1
book a free discovery call. 30 minutes. you talk, i listen. we both decide if this is the right fit.
2
we start where you are. no intake forms, no assessments. first session, your agenda, your pace.
3
over four months, you build your own way forward. not my framework. yours. one session at a time.

you might be thinking

"i've tried therapy, coaching, or self-help before and nothing stuck."

this isn't another thing to optimise. it's the opposite - we slow down until you can hear what's actually going on.

"i don't have time for another commitment."

one hour every two weeks. between sessions, a daily body check-in that takes less time than checking your email.

"somatic sounds woo-woo."

no incense. no crystals. somatic means working with what your body is actually doing - the tight jaw, the shallow breathing, the shoulders that haven't dropped in months.

"can one hour every two weeks really change anything?"

you didn't build these patterns in a weekend. you won't undo them in one either. four months gives you enough time to see the pattern, test a different choice, and hold it when it gets uncomfortable.

"what if i start and then quit?"

that's the pattern talking. we'll work with that too.

investment

€2,000

full four-month package · paid upfront, before our first session

not because i'm precious about the money. because the upfront commitment is part of the work. you're choosing yourself in advance, before the doubt arrives - and the doubt always arrives somewhere around week six. the upfront payment means you stay.

discovery session (free)
8 × 50-minute sessions over 4 months
voice and text support between sessions
tools adjusted to your process
30-minute check-in call 3 months after finishing

book a free discovery call

if you show up for all eight sessions and do the daily body check-in for four months, and you still don't feel a shift in how you make choices and manage your capacity - you receive two additional sessions at no cost. the work continues until it lands.

questions you might be asking

what's your framework?

i don't have one. or rather - i don't have a transformation arc with written modules for each session. the coaching process is unique to each person. we craft a personalised path based on your goals, your blockers, and how you actually work. i base what i do on ICF, co-active, and embodiment principles. but you're in the driver's seat. i'm the co-pilot.

if you want a framework that promises a specific outcome by a specific date - i'm not your coach. if you want a process that meets you where you actually are and works with what's actually there - keep reading.

why four months? can we do a one-off session?

no one-offs. four months is the minimum.

a single session can feel powerful in the moment and dissolve by the weekend. the real work happens between the sessions - when life shows up and tests the reflections you took away. four months is the minimum window for the body to start trusting that the change is real, for the patterns to surface, get worked, and start to integrate.

it's also the time it takes to give yourself the space to connect with your body and let its voice come back, after years of noise-cancelling it.

what does the body-based work actually involve?

it depends on what you're facing.

sometimes it's simply learning to recognise sensations you've been ignoring for years. sometimes it's connecting to your breath in a way you haven't since childhood. sometimes we spend an entire session moving and unlocking deeper blockages that have been there for years, waiting for you to slow down enough to let them speak.

it's not group meditation. it's not breathwork as a wellness ritual. it's targeted, body-based work in service of what you're actually trying to shift.

what's the purpose of the discovery call?

it's not a commitment. it's a 30-minute conversation so we can both see if this is right.

you can ask anything you want about how the work works. i'll ask you what you're bringing in and what's currently most alive for you. the decision to work together - or not - is made together. that's the first piece of partnership.

if we're not a fit, i'll tell you. if you're not sure, you take the time you need.

how do sessions work?

online, via video call. 50 minutes, every two weeks. you book your slot and we keep the same rhythm for four months.

what platform do you use?

Zoom for sessions. WhatsApp or voice notes for between-session support. whatever feels natural to you.

what if i miss a session?

life happens. reschedule with 24 hours' notice and we find another slot. the four-month container stays the same. if you miss without notice, the session is forfeit. two missed sessions in a row is a conversation about what's getting in the way - usually it's the work itself starting to land.

what if i want to pause?

we can pause for up to two weeks if something comes up. longer than that and we talk about whether it makes sense to continue or restart later.

what if we're not clicking after a session or two?

we talk about it. directly. the discovery call is meant to filter for fit, but not every fit reveals itself in 30 minutes.

if after the first two sessions it's clearly wrong, i'll refund the unused portion of the package. it hasn't happened, but the policy stands. you're not trapped.

can i continue after the four months?

yes. optional monthly continuation sessions are available after you finish the package. we'll talk about whether that makes sense during session 8.

what's the difference between this and therapy?

therapy works with the past. coaching works with the present and what's next. i'm not a therapist and i don't diagnose. if i think therapy would serve you better, i'll say so.

how does payment work?

€2,000 paid upfront before the first session. i'll send you an invoice after the discovery call if we both decide to go ahead.

i'm not sure i can afford it.

i understand. this is an investment and i don't want anyone signing up under financial strain. if the timing isn't right, it isn't right. no pressure.

can i contact you with questions before booking the discovery call?

yes. send me a message.

for most questions, the discovery call itself is the better place - there's only so much that translates over email. but if there's something specific holding you back from booking, write to me.

ready to stop performing?

thirty minutes. free. no prep needed beyond the booking form.

we'll talk about what's bringing you here, what you've tried, and whether this is right.
