Connections Coaching

Why Connections Coaching?

Connections Coaching is for people who want to connect better. It is for individuals, pairs and small groups. It works with different relationship dynamics: couples, friendships, families, coworkers, business relationships, dates, new connections, strangers, etc.

Some specific situations include:

• Couples who want to manage conflict better
• Individuals who want to express their boundaries better
• People who want to understand and communicate their needs and desires
• Partners who want to explore new ways to show love to each other
• etc.

If you don’t yet understand what specific issues are holding you back, but feel you want to be connecting better, lets arrange an initial call to figure it out together.

What is it?

Connections Coaching uses physical practices, somatic methods and coaching techniques to improve human connection. Movement and touch-based activities can highlight important qualities in ourselves and how we relate. They are powerful metaphors for non-physical aspects of our lives. Lessons from these practices are applied to other aspects of our relationships, as tools to use in our lives and our relationships.

Sessions can include solo movement, meditation, games, collaboration, competition, led and followed movement, different forms of touch and physical connection, talking activities, coaching techniques, conversation, etc. drawn from physical practices including Dance, Contact Improv, AcroYoga, partner acrobatics, natural movement, yoga, meditation, tantra, Wheel of Consent, Authentic Relating, Circling, Non Violent Communication and more.

Sessions are founded on consent. The mix of activities and how far we take them are uniquely tailored to your needs and boundaries.

Practicalities

First, we’ll have 15-30 minute call to talk though the specifics for your circumstances, and arrange our first in-person session.

A standard session lasts 1.5 hours. We can meet in my studio space, in your home, or in a park.

The first session focusses on assessment. For couples, the first two sessions are an individual assessments — one with each partner.

We will meet weekly or fortnightly, to give you time to integrate lessons into your life, and so we can review and refine our learning. You will have time to practice techniques between sessions and do some “homework.” Single sessions are also possible.

A standard 1.5 hour session costs £90. Discounts apply to blocks of 4 and 6 sessions. Discounted introductory prices apply, and I have concession spaces available each week. Please contact me if price is a barrier.

Embrace Coaching is centered around your needs. We can adapt everything to suit. Let’s have a conversation about what works for you, so we can find the best way to help you connect the way you want to!
