1:1 Somatic Life Coaching in Paris, ON
For the woman ready to feel alive in her own body again, no longer running on survival mode but grounded, present, and free to be fully herself.
You’re “doing all the right things.” The books. The podcasts. The morning routines.
And yet… your body still feels wired, tired, or shut down.
You’re holding it together on the outside but inside?
You feel disconnected. Stuck. Numb.
You’re craving:
Rest without the guilt trip
Confidence that doesn’t feel fake
Boundaries that don’t crumble the second someone looks at you sideways
More capacity to actually live, not just get through the day
Somatic life coaching helps you get out of your head and back into your body. Instead of just thinking about change, you actually feel it.
We blend nervous system education, mindset work, and body-based tools to help you move through stress, old patterns, and stuck emotions while building rock-solid trust in your body and your choices.
The word soma means “body.” Not just bones and muscle but the sensing, feeling, living body where your experiences live, even the ones you’ve been trying to “get over.”
Instead of staying in story (or spiraling in self-analysis), we focus on:
✨ Noticing your stress responses (freeze, fawn, shutdown, anxiety)
✨ Mapping how emotions actually show up in your body
✨ Using breath, movement, and awareness to shift into grounded states
This work is informed by Somatic Experiencing®, a trauma-informed approach by Dr. Peter Levine. Translation: your nervous system is always trying to protect you, it just sometimes gets stuck in loops. With the right support, those loops finally loosen.
What happens in a session?
Each in-person session at UpYoga & Wellness in Paris, ON is 60 minutes and completely tailored to you. Here’s what you can expect:
Grounded conversation to see what’s showing up in your life right now
Education around stress responses and nervous system patterns
Guided somatic practices you can use outside the studio (no 10-step routines, just simple, effective tools)
Space to integrate what you’re learning so it lands in your body
Hey, I’m Kristine!
Somatic Life Coach, Nervous System Educator, and Recovering ‘Good Girl”.
I didn’t get here because life was perfectly balanced and I thought, “wow, I should share my wisdom.”
Nope. I got here because I did the burnout Olympics a.k. migraines, fatigue, brain fog, the whole “body falling apart while I smile through it” routine.
Spoiler: there’s no gold medal for pushing yourself past your breaking point. Just an empty benefits account and exhaustion.
My first taste of somatic work cracked me wide open. For the first time, I felt what it was like to actually be in my body and I knew this was the work I was meant to share.
Now, I help women unlearn “good girl” conditioning, understand their nervous systems, and stop performing their way through life. I blend science with embodiment, real talk with compassion, and hold space that’s both grounding and a little spicy.

A glimpse into our journey together:
Every experience is custom, but here’s an overview of what to expect! We start with nervous system education and somatic tools to help your body feel safe again. From there, we build self-trust, clarify your desires, and learn to listen to your body’s cues. Then we take aligned action, set boundaries, and create rhythms that support the life you’re here to lead.
-
Learn your nervous system inside out.
Map your stress responses, build safety, and start practicing tools that actually work (aka, not just “take a deep breath”).
-
Rebuild self-trust.
Tune back into your needs, desires, and intuition.
Learn how to stop gaslighting yourself when your body says “no.”
-
Step into your power.
Set boundaries that hold.
Create rhythms that feel good.
Reclaim the energy you’ve been bleeding into everyone else’s demands.
Book Your Session
Initial Session - $175
This first session is all about laying the groundwork for our work together. We’ll “map your nervous system” by exploring triggers, glimmers, and anchors and go over my signature (Regulate, Reconnect, Reclaim) framework. Think of this as your starting point for building self-trust, understanding your body’s cues, and creating a more easeful, aligned life.

We’ll keep moving through my signature (Regulate, Reconnect, Reclaim) framework, combining somatic tools, nervous system education, and body-based practices to help you take aligned action, deepen self-trust, and honour the life your body knows you’re meant to lead.

This is for you if…You’re high-functioning on the outside but secretly exhausted inside
You want to understand your nervous system and stop blaming yourself for being “too much” or “too sensitive”
You’re done people-pleasing and ready to start trusting yourself again
You’re craving boundaries that actually hold, rest that doesn’t feel guilty, and confidence that feels like yours
You want simple, grounded tools you can use in daily life not a 10-step morning routine you’ll ditch by week two
You’re ready to laugh, cry, swear, shake it out, and be fully human in this process
This NOT for you if…You’re looking for a quick fix, a magic pill, or someone to “fix” you
You’re not open to being lovingly called out when you slip into old patterns
You want a perfectly polished, spiritual-bypassy “good vibes only” space (that’s not my jam)
You’re not ready to invest time and energy into yourself right now (and that’s okay!)
Don’t just take it from me…
FAQs
-
That’s totally okay! We always start gently. You’ll be guided through practices like body scans, breathwork, or using an emotion-sensation wheel to help you notice what’s happening in your body. Even if you’ve never felt “in your body” before, you’ll leave each session with a clearer understanding of where you’re at and what’s possible.
-
This work focuses on your body and nervous system not just your thoughts. It’s about shifting how you feel and how you move through life, not just how you think about it.
It is a powerful compliment to traditional therapy!
-
No problem! We will reschedule your session for another date. I simply ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you can’t make your session.
-
While I don’t hold a formal trauma-informed certification, I center consent, pacing, and choice in everything I do. You will never be pushed or rushed. This is a space where your body’s signals are honoured, and your safety is the priority.
