I am absolutely thrilled to be offering the Embodied Coach Training again in 2022. It truly “embodies” everything I’ve learned and everything I stand for as a somatic practitioner. To be able to teach it to a group of committed colleagues continues to be a dream come true.
Would you like to join me? Here are some of the details…
This course is specially designed for coaches who want to empower their practice and help their clients with a more embodied approach. It’s also a great fit for those interested in coaching, such as therapists or other wellness practitioners, who want to add a dynamic new skill to their practice. You don’t necessarily have to be coaching professionally, but coaching should be a passion of yours.
“We move through space like we move through life.”
Because you can’t find what I’ll be teaching anywhere else. I’ve spent the last fifteen years studying the principles of embodied coaching. I’ve learned from masters in coaching and embodiment teachers, but I had to go to many different sources to find what I needed. This culminated when in 2020 I became a Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation. I’ve combined everything I’ve learned so far (because I’ll never stop learning!) into this course.
I believe in somatic coaching. It cuts beneath superficial conversations to a space of deep learning and profound transformation. Most coach trainings focus on exploring and transforming thoughts, beliefs and ideas. They help clients see another way of looking at or solving a problem. Or they show how one’s limiting beliefs are holding them back. This is only one phase of the transformation. Although powerful during the session, the transformation doesn’t last.
As human beings, most of us live in our conditioned habituated self, doing the same things we have always done, reacting in the same ways we always react. Our habitual self is deeply ingrained. With somatic coaching, we can become aware of our conditioned behaviors and responses, appreciate the intent to protect us over the years and create more options to make lasting changes.
This is the power of an embodied approach to healing and transformation that I want to teach you.
“The human body is not an instrument to be used, but a realm of one’s being to be experienced, explored and thereby educated.”
This course is designed to grow your capacity to access your own embodied world and support your clients in doing the same. You will develop the skill to see more clearly how people unconsciously react to situations in their life and support them to bring these reactions into awareness. This empowers them to make new choices and take more life-affirming action.
In this course you will:
“Become body language literate.”
I have benefited so much from Maria’s Embodied Coach School, both personally and professionally. I have become more aware of how my body responds to stress and how it communicates my needs, and I now have the knowledge of how to check in with it. Professionally, this program has taught me new ways to support my clients and help them gain awareness of somatic sensations in themselves, and what they can learn from that. This program also helped me to gain insight about my career path and other important elements of my life. I highly recommend working with Maria in any capacity, but for anyone considering a career in wellness, coaching, or counseling, the Embodied Coach School imparts life-changing knowledge and skills you won’t find anywhere else – which will enhance your career and the work you do with your clients in amazing ways.

A few years ago I was lucky to attend some weekend long somatic coach trainings by Maria. They were amazing but only gave me a taste of the world of somatic work. I wanted more.
So, when I heard Maria had started her Embodied Coach School, I was eager to sign up and jump in! Maria did not disappoint. She has a warm, creative leadership style that is both empathic and humble, while igniting growth and self-efficacy in her coachees.
It is evident that Maria has spent years gathering experience and wisdom to teach such a program as well as holding a continued passion about what she teaches.
In the Embodied Coach School of 2021, I gained multiple skills to better my practice as a LPC as well as start my practice as a Somatic Coach.
While it was on-line, there was no shortage of personal connection and interactions. Maria guided each of us individually and as a group through the process of learning to be a somatic coach. She further provided an opportunity for us to delve deep within ourselves and discover our own embodied approach to the life we live.
Through this course, I have become a better human being – toward myself and others. I would highly recommend Maria’s school to anyone who is looking to develop an understanding of somatic work; anyone who is passionate about helping others heal and grow and anyone looking to enrich their lives with a greater understanding of self and the world we live in.
SEE LESSAs a therapist who has been practicing for over 20 years, I experienced the Embodied Coach School as transformative. Maria’s skills as a facilitator, teacher, and coach are profound. I left each Coach School session with ideas for how to refine my embodied practice, both personally and professionally. I have integrated these learnings with clients, many of whom have reported experiencing noticeably positive shifts in the life areas that brought them to seek healing work. Maria’s wise, collaborative, and compassionate facilitation allowed our coaching group to experience a deeply safe and connected learning space. Each member’s unique developmental stage as a coach/practitioner and approach to integrating emerging skill sets felt welcomed and celebrated. It was amazing to see the growth we all achieved over the time we spent together!
