Somatic Coaching

About Me

Originally from the UK, I’ve been all over the world and now live in Amsterdam with my partner, two daughters, and two bonus children. After years working in live TV, the stress of a fast-paced career while raising my children as a single dad eventually led to a sense of disconnection from my life, and ultimately, a burnout. This prompted me to reassess what mattered to me most and how I wanted to spend my life. I explored yoga, meditation, coaching, and personal growth. Today, I’m a somatic coach and mediator, with training in non-violent communication, and the founder of Rooted Coaching. I help individuals and families navigate life transitions, stress, and disconnection, guiding them to reconnect with their bodies, presence, and inner guidance so they can build lives that feel rich, joyful, and fulfilling.

My Philosophy

I work with people who feel the weight of life’s demands but can’t shake the sense that somehow there should be more to life. Through somatic coaching, I help you slow down enough to notice what’s been buried under the grind — the moments of joy, the spark of creativity, the connection that makes you feel alive. In my own life, being truly present with my children, letting them be fully themselves, has been the most powerful invitation back to my own wholeness, and one that I ignored for many years. This is the work: creating the space for you to feel fully yourself, so you can bring that all the aspects of your life that matter most.

Somatic Coaching

Somatic Body Coaching is a form of personal coaching that focuses on the connection between body and mind. Unlike traditional coaching, which mainly explores thoughts, goals, and behaviors, somatic coaching works with the body as a guide to uncover patterns, release tension, and access deeper insights.

The word “somatic” comes from the Greek word soma, meaning “body as experienced from within.” In practice, this means paying attention to sensations, posture, movement, and breath — all of which carry valuable information about how we think, feel, and respond to life.

It’s a gentle but powerful approach that blends mindfulness, movement, and reflective coaching. The goal isn’t just to solve problems intellectually, but to create real, lasting change by reconnecting with your body, your intuition, and your sense of self.
