Hi, I'm Chaela, a Life and Somatic Coach with a background in Psychology and ICF-accredited training.
My work brings together body and mind, helping you find clarity and reconnect with what you actually want.
Sometimes you don't know where to start.
Other times you know exactly where you want to go,
but not how to get there.
I offer life coaching, for clarity and a plan,
and somatic coaching, for feeling safe and resilience.
I’m here to walk that path with you.
The word "soma" comes from the ancient Greek for "body." Somatic coaching works with the body's sensations, not just the mind, recognising that they often hold insight thoughts alone cannot reach. In a session, you might be invited to simply notice what's happening in your body, a tightness, a shift in breath, and to stay with it. It might look like realising why your shoulders tense before every difficult conversation, or finally understanding what your body's been telling you about a decision.
Life coaching is a partnership: you're in the driver's seat, I'm the navigator, helping you find new routes and stay focused on where you actually want to go. In its essence, coaching is a process of exploration, uncovering answers you already hold, and going further than you imagined. Expect honest conversation, powerful questions, and accountability between sessions. It might look like finally making that career change, gaining clarity on a difficult decision, or discovering a new sense of direction.
I know what it feels like to question where you fit, to navigate different parts of yourself, and to live through periods of anxiety, depression and chronic pain.
Over time, learning to listen to my body changed the way I understood myself. It taught me that there is often more happening beneath the surface than our thoughts can tell us.
I believe meaningful change begins by learning to listen to yourself more closely. I help you slow down, tune into your body, and find greater clarity around what you need, want and value.

"First time doing somatic coaching, and thanks to Chaela, I have felt increasingly more connected to the energy and emotions in me. Chaela is highly emotionally intelligent, patient, and exceptionally kind. She encourages me to hold space in a way I didn't know existed. Quite simply, I'm healing. Thank you Chaela, I can breathe now."
