hi.

SOS
Coaching.You are ready when you do it.

For people who are still functioning — but don't feel like themselves anymore.

Every medical test comes back "normal" — but you know something isn't. You just can't name it yet.

Tired of hearing “oh, it’s because of stress”? For the headaches. For the exhaustion. For whatever you walked in with.
And then what — sleep more, eat better, walk somewhere? The same three lines for everyone. As if we all carried it the same way.

So.

When stress stops staying in your head — and starts showing up in your sleep, energy, emotions, muscles, skin, digestion, or focus — that’s exactly where I work.

01 / the sos state

The SOS State

A moment when your body starts asking for help — before your life falls apart. A moment when your body says "no" — before you do.

I don't chase symptoms.
I decode them.

insomnia tension burnout overthinking panic emotional numbness performance blocks injuries after overload procrastination unexplained symptoms

I'm a psychosomatic specialist and somatic coach — not a general life coach. We don't just talk about what happened; we look at how your body adapted to it.

  1. You're functioning — but you don't feel like yourself anymore.
  2. You keep saying "I'm fine," but your body clearly disagrees.
  3. You can't switch your brain off, even when nothing is happening.
  4. You sleep — but wake up exhausted.
  5. Your body reacts before your brain understands why.

This is for you if your body is getting in the way of how you want to live.

  • The founder who can't switch off.
  • The performer who freezes when it counts.
  • The parent running on empty.
  • The athlete whose body keeps flinching.
  • Or simply: someone who keeps functioning, but knows their body has started making the rules.

You perform, work, create, compete, parent, love — and somewhere in there, your body started making the rules.
This is where you take the pen back.

the mechanism

02 / the sos formula

SOS
Formula

i work with

Stuck in stress the same situation, event, or behavior, on repeat — an emotional loop that won’t close
Physical symptoms headaches · gut issues · back pain · disrupted sleep · irritability · anger
Cognitive fog attention drops · memory blurs · decisions get harder to make
Performance & well-being you stop knowing what you’re doing, or why it still matters · burnout

This is why chasing symptoms doesn't work — you're treating the last link while the first one is still running. I start at the beginning of the chain, not the end of it.

Soft flowing fabric, weightless — the ease on the other side of the work

Stress doesn’t stay where it starts. It moves in one direction, every time — and this is the exact path it takes.

result with me

Thriving, not surviving

A body and mind that finally work with you — not against you.

Without body safety

  • aThe body stays on edge. Even when nothing is happening.
  • bRejection hits deeper than it should. It lingers long after it ends.
  • cTension settles into the body — and doesn't fully leave.
  • dPresence drops when it matters most. Or turns mechanical.
  • eRest feels unproductive. Stillness feels unsafe.
  • fConfidence looks fine — until it suddenly isn't.
  • gThe work costs more than it should.

what I believe

04 / the reframe

Your body isn't betraying you.
It's protecting you.

Most people fight their symptoms. Silence them. Push through.

I don't.

I work through honesty.

Your body isn't the problem — it's the messenger. Protecting you in a way you may no longer recognize.

The insomnia. The tension. The panic that arrives with no reason attached. None of it is random. All of it is trying to tell you something.

In our sessions, you get to find the truth about yourself — the real you, underneath the performance.

My work is simple: we listen before we fix.
Because a body that feels understood finally lets go.

the method

05 / how the work works

How the work works

You talk. Your body speaks. I listen. I observe.
Together, we reach the change words alone can't.

Start recognize what's happening

We begin with what's actually here.

You can say "I'm fine" — your jaw, your breath, and your shoulders can't. Posture, tension, sleep, the moments your body says "no": we map the signals you've been overriding.

Observe understand why it's happening

We find what your body is protecting.

Symptoms aren't malfunctions — they're messages. Together we trace what your body is guarding, where it learned to, and what it's costing you now. We start where the leverage is.

Shift change how your body responds

You leave with something to practice.

Every session ends with one concrete practice — small enough to do the same night, real enough that your body notices. Even after one session, you'll leave with real clarity and one individual practice to start with. Session by session, that's how old habits shift — and how you get the results you actually came for.

Start. Observe. Shift.
That's SOS — and that's how your body comes back online.

Results

Not JUST a new mindset.
A different body to live in.

This is what clients describe after the work — in their own words, in their own bodies. Small, physical, unmistakable.

Sleep that actually counts

You stop negotiating with your brain at 2am. And you wake up like the sleep did something.

Headaches that finally make sense

Not just gone — understood. You start to see what sets them off, and they stop quietly running your week.

Energy that lasts past 3pm

No crash you have to caffeinate through. No getting to the afternoon on willpower alone.

Your stomach settles

Eating stops being a gamble. Your gut stops reacting to whatever is on your calendar.

Shoulders, jaw, neck — down

You stop discovering at midnight that you've been clenched since breakfast.

A breath that goes all the way down

Without having to remind yourself to take it.

Your body stops bracing

The phone buzzes and your stomach doesn't drop. "Can we talk?" doesn't cost you four hours.

You say no in a second

No three-day guilt hangover. No rehearsing the apology in the shower.

Rest without earning it

Sitting down stops needing a justification.

These are what clients describe — not guarantees, and not medical outcomes. Any physical symptom should be checked by a doctor first; this work runs alongside that care, never instead of it.

questions

Frequently asked questions

What kind of coach are you?

A psychosomatic specialist and somatic coach — not a general life coach. My work combines somatic techniques, nervous-system awareness, body-response reading, crisis psychology, and deep pattern work. So we don't just talk about what happened; we look at how your body adapted to it, and shift it from there.

What happens in the free SOS session?

30 minutes, online, in English. You talk, I listen — and you leave with one concrete thing to try that same night. If it's not a fit, I'll say so, with no pitch.

Do I need to prepare anything?

No. Come as you are — tired, skeptical, mid-deadline. The session starts from whatever is actually happening in your body right now.

What does ongoing work cost?

Three ways to work together: START (one session, $89), OBSERVE (4 sessions over 2–3 months plus ongoing support, $342, installment plan available), and SHIFT (3-month private coaching, 6 sessions plus ongoing support, $180/month). The free first session is always the place to begin — no pitch.

Is what I share confidential?

Yes. What you share in sessions and in messages stays between us.
