Nicole Gilg-Geymayer Somatic coaching and Embodiment Training

In my somatic coaching work, I teach people how to become aware of the physical manifestations of automatic patterns that we have learned at some point in our life. It happens usually in situations where we experience some kind of trauma physically or emotionally or are simply in the expectation of such bad experience. These patterns can have very different forms but all of them have in common a s

ignificant reduction of breathing and most of them come with tension in certain areas that create a state of shrinking or freezing with the effect of reducing your ability to feel. Since these patterns have become automatic, they are started in many situations now where this kind of reducing of yourself to the fight or flight mode is less than useful. Clients usually come with the wish to change a specific situation and I teach them how to pay attention to their individual pattern. This is done by touch, breath-work and description and significant change can happen from these sessions. While the mind is moving rapidly, the mass of the body is rather slow and needs practice. Shoulders that have held a chest closed for many years to avoid feeling some old pain, need to be trained again how to open up. This is why I also offer movement training, in order to become aware of one’s specific physical patterns by heightening attention for the various areas in your body. Learning to shift things for yourself that have long been stuck by breathing, moving, creating space inside and having fun exploring your body as a vessel full of energy.
