For a long time, I coached from the neck up. I asked thoughtful questions and I listened carefully. But as I began working with somatics and embodiment, I saw how posture, breath, and physical organization were shaping every coaching session, whether I named them or not. Over time, somatics and embodiment reoriented how I understood presence in coaching and how clients responded to the work.

Somatic and embodiment work gave me a different way to understand presence in coaching. It changed what became possible in sessions. Clients can understand their situation clearly and still find themselves returning to the same patterns. In my own coaching journey, I learned that this had less to do with motivation or clarity and more to do with how the body had organized the experience. Insight alone does not always lead to change.

When a coaching session gets stuck in the story, I don’t ask better questions. I slow things down. The Scanner Technique shifts attention from what happened to how the body is holding it. That shift alone often changes the entire session. #TheLiquidAccordion #SomaticCoaching #leadershipflow

The Liquid Accordion is a metaphor for how the body lives. - We expand and contract. - We open and close. - We soften and brace. These movements are not random. They reflect - our history, - our biology, and - the situations we find ourselves in. In coaching, learning to see this ‘accordion’ at work gives you access to information that language alone often misses. If you want an introduction to this way of seeing, the Somatic and Embodiment Starter Kit offers a clear starting point.

Mood is embodied. Different moods come with different postures, breathing patterns, and orientations toward the future. They quietly shape what a client believes is possible before any coaching begins. When coaches learn to recognize mood somatically, not just conceptually, they gain a powerful diagnostic tool. Not to label clients, but to understand what kind of support or challenge the moment is asking for. I’ve outlined the 8 basic moods of life and how they show up in the body for coaches who want to deepen this capacity.

In coaching, change rarely happens all at once. It happens at Pivot Points. Small moments where attention, posture, breath, or mood reorganize just enough to open a new option. I’ve come to rely on four reliable pivot points in somatic work. They help me see: -when to stay with awareness -when to invite movement -and when not to intervene at all These pivot points are ways of orienting to what’s already happening. If you want an introduction to how I work with pivot points in sessions, I’ve shared a simple explainer here.

I teach centering as a repeatable practice, not a personality trait. It’s something you can return to before - a meeting, - a session, or - a difficult conversation. Consider reading The Liquid Accordion as a way turn somatic and embodiment coaching into breakthroughs for your clients.

Centering happens through these four ways 1) the body, 2) the breath, 3) orientation, and 4) how effort is organized. When those shift, attention steadies and presence becomes available again. #leadershipflow #coaching #TheLiquidAccordion

Most leaders and coaches try to center themselves by thinking differently. In my experience, that rarely works under pressure. Centering is not a mindset. It’s a physical skill. #Coaching #TheLiquidAccordion #Leadershipflow

One of the fastest ways to bring somatic awareness into a session is to slow down and scan. The Scanner technique is not about fixing anything. It’s about noticing. - Where is there effort? - Where is there holding? -Where is there ease? When clients learn to notice their own internal landscape, they stop overriding their experience and start working with it. I’ve shared more about the Scanner practice for those interested in bringing this kind of awareness into their work.

Many clients are trying to think their way into change. Somatic and embodiment coaching offers another path: helping the body experience -safety, -orientation, and -possibility so that new thinking can emerge naturally. When the body reorganizes, insight often follows. Not the other way around. #EmbodiedChange #SomaticPractice #Coaching

Have you ever noticed how much of our language depends on the body to make meaning clear? Our language depends on the body to make meaning clear. We find a foothold, sink our teeth into something, or learn to stand on our own two feet. These phrases exist because experience is organized physically before it is explained. The body orients, stabilizes, reaches, withdraws, and commits long before language arrives. If the body already shapes how meaning is made, it belongs directly in our work.
