What is intuitive coaching?

Before we begin, I want to share my perspective on psychic abilities. I know when I think of the word psychic it conjures up images of a lady with a crystal ball telling me my future, but it is actually the ability to connect with your deeper, inner wisdom. Everyone has these abilities. You may hear them called “the clairs” - the one most think of when they hear the term psychic is clairvoyance (seeing), but there is also clairaudience (hearing), clairsentience (feeling), claircognizance (knowing), and even clairgustance (tasting) and clairtangency (touch). Ever have a gut feeling? That is clairsentience. Ever just know something to be true (like this person is not telling you the truth), that is claircognizance. We all have the ability to tap into the clairs, but we often rationalize it away or we never get quiet enough to listen. We often have a primary clair - for me that is claircognizance. How it shows up for me in my day to day interactions is being able to see to the heart of something and naming it, so it can be addressed. It looks like naming something I see and asking your thoughts (sometimes I am 100% on and other times I am off, BUT it has always led to the person getting more clear for themselves). In many ways I have always relied on my intuition and only recently have I been open about it.

I have been an avid reader of Sonia Choquette’s books for years (and a member of her Good Vibes Tribe). I had the pleasure of being personally trained by her in her very first cohort of GIFT (Grounded, Intuitive, Facilitated Transmission) coaches as part of her service and legacy in the world. I live the practices to be a clear channel of energy, vibration, and frequency. This translates to me helping guide you back to yourself and to live more intentionally.

As an intuitive coach my role is to be a clear channel, holding a high frequency and vibration so that when we meet you can move beyond ego and story. It is about tapping into your higher wisdom and learning to live in alignment with your true self. You get to choose a new way of being in the world, one that lives with intention and in alignment - easing the burdens of trying to fit into clothes that are too tight. I hold space and gently guide you back to your truest self, one breath and one word at a time. This experience is more of a state of being and you get out of it what you bring to it. It is not magic, it is deep presence and non-judgment. It is coming home to yourself. Welcome home.

What is a Somatic Coach?

If you are wondering what a somatic coach is, look no further. I want to share my shift from a traditional, mindset/life coach to the power of somatics.

Somatics and nervous system regulation are buzz words right now, but what does it really mean? In my own words it is about addressing change in your body first, so your mind can follow. It moves beyond breathwork and meditation to looking at your desired state of being. Once I know your desired state I can provide practices that you can do every day to help your body feel safe enough to expand and maintain your desired state of being without reverting back to its well worn patterns. Then when you desire something different, I provide a different set of practices to support that desire. This work is not cookie cutter, it is highly customized to where you are and where you want to go.

I started my traditional coaching journey in 2018 through course work and certifications. I coached inside the organization I was working for at the time and had a set of clients on the side as well. This coaching is about deep listening, asking powerful questions, and helping to guide a person to their own conclusions. It can sometimes feel like therapy, but is focused more on the future. When I left that organization & joined a new one I had to stop my side business as it was considered a conflict of interest (and I still provide this type of coaching within their organization to participating clients). However, I was drawn more and more to a different way of coaching, one not as welcome in the corporate setting.

In 2025 I felt the calling to learn a coaching modality that felt more in line with my own energy. However, at the time I was feeling very scattered and disconnected. I was lacking inspiration, motivation in all aspects of my life. This was showing up as general malaise, forgetfulness, lack of energy.  I came across a program where not only would I be learning new tools, I would be experiencing them at the same time. Once I started working with somatics and addressing the body before the mind – things slowly started to shift. It didn’t happen overnight. I am a stubborn student, so I did less than was required, so my journey was longer, but over time I started to get my energy back, I started to see more clearly what I wanted to create, I was able to take action and stay the course. This led me to creating Pause and Align to help other women through the power of this work.

I am a realist, as you see in my story I do not necessarily practice for very long, but I do practice every day. Some days as little as a minute, but consistency is what builds the new container. I am living proof that this work is powerful and transformational, even when you do it in small doses. I would love to talk if you are curious about how this could help you.
