I often begin coaching sessions with a few minutes of breathing or a short meditation, and the results are noticeable. These simple practices help access deeper layers of awareness, bringing to light subconscious patterns and internal stories that may have been holding us back. This allows us to uncover what’s truly going on and experience insight much sooner.

Why Breathwork and Meditation Are So Effective

Breathwork and meditation offer a unique way to connect with the body in ways other methods often can’t. They create space for us to tune into what’s happening mentally, emotionally, and intuitively, often all at once.

Breathwork, in particular, supports the process of stepping out of the mind, releasing stored emotions, and connecting more deeply with the intuitive body. When that connection is made, the body becomes a powerful vessel for transformation. We begin to move out of our own way, allowing the natural healing process to unfold.

The Growing Relevance of Somatic Coaching

Somatic coaching and mind-body awareness are becoming increasingly popular, reflecting a wider cultural shift toward understanding how deeply the mind and body are connected. This growing awareness is supported by podcasts, social media, and widely read books like The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk and The Myth of Normal by Dr. Gabor Maté, which have helped bring these concepts into mainstream conversations.

A Journey That Takes Time—and Is Worth Taking

This rise in interest is understandable. Human beings are made up of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual layers. Yet many traditional methods, such as talk therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), or executive coaching, focus primarily on the mind. While these approaches can be effective for certain types of problem-solving or behaviour change, they often fall short when it comes to emotional healing, trauma resolution, or shifting long-held patterns that are rooted deeper in the body.

There is no quick transformation. Coaching and therapy are both journeys that require time, presence, and commitment. While breakthroughs absolutely happen along the way, it is the process itself that leads to greater insight, clarity, and self-discovery.

And, as with any worthwhile journey, the view from the top is nothing short of beautiful.
