What Is Somatics?
In short, somatics is the study of our felt experience. Inside of this methodology we explore how sensation,
emotion, and relationality live together to color how we meet the world around us.

Why Do We Use Somatics?
Somatic practice helps us build awareness of our conditioned tendencies — the ways we respond to stress and
pressure. These responses develop naturally over time as part of our lived experience and become patterned
into the nervous system. Sometimes these patterns continue to appear automatically even when we are no
longer in the same presence of harm, stress, or trauma that originally shaped them.

When Might A Somatic Approach Be Appropriate?
- Tension in the body that other care has not touched
- Re-connecting with purpose
- Career transitions
- Identity shifts
- Grief or loss
- Changes in relationships
- Periods of burnout or nervous system depletion

Wolfe’s Story
I discovered somatic practice after many years of living with complex illness. For years I navigated western medicine where there were few resources, limited research, and little support.
Somatics helped me return to myself. Through this work I began to build a different relationship with my body and my symptoms — one rooted in curiosity, patience, and care. Inside of this new relationship with my body, I experience more ease and less pain.
Before training as a somatic coach, I studied interaction design and systems thinking at the Copenhagen Institute for Interaction Design (CIID). This work focused on identifying root causes of harm within complex systems and how we might design experiences filled with care & connection.
My thesis project IN·JOY, which explored building a digital community for people with disabilities, received the Core77 Award for Social Impact.
I used this training in interaction design to build more equitable public health systems. For several years I worked as a designer & researcher for Medicare improving the beneficiary experience so that receiving care felt more human.
Today my coaching work integrates these perspectives — somatic awareness, systems thinking, and lived experience — to support people in developing more sustainable and nourishing ways of being.

Coaching Values
Disability Justice
I am committed to meeting the needs of your body and nervous system capacity. Together we will co-create agreements around pace, structure, and access needs so that the coaching process supports your well-being rather than pushing beyond your capacity.
Racial Justice
I approach coaching with an awareness that identity, culture, and history shape how we experience the world.
Rather than assuming neutrality, I remain attentive to my own social location as a queer white non-binary person — acknowledging the identities, training, and cultural context I bring into the room. As coach and client we can work together to build shared power within the coaching relationship.
Economic Justice
I offer coaching through a sliding scale to support broader access to this work.
Clients who select the Repair Tier contribute to a sponsorship program that allows someone with significant access barriers to receive coaching at no cost once sufficient funds are gathered.
I am working to build a catalog of somatic resources for people who are unable to receive 1:1 coaching due to financial constraints.
Ancestral Lineage
Much of the somatic lineage I’ve trained in draws from Aikido, a Japanese non-violent martial art that informs many somatic practices.
I hold these lineages with care and acknowledge the traditions that have shaped the work. As a person of Northern European descent, I also cultivate connection with practices rooted in my own ancestry.
