Somatic Movement Coaching

Move & Feel Better With 1:1 Sessions Tailored For Your Specific Needs & Goals

Do you want specific and timely change with meaningful results? Then 1:1 movement sessions are the way to go! If you want to increase motivation, ease, function and creativity and/or reduce pain, discomfort and emotional dis-stress- then you are in the right place. Somatic Movement Coaching is designed for your unique goals, needs and preferences. Through somatic movement and embodied learning processes, overcome obstacles and realize behavior change to enhance your life experiences.

Somatic movement coaching works with your inner somatic processes and body-to-brain feedback loops (this is called bottom-up learning). The 1:1 movement sessions are skillfully guided, progressive and invite your active participation to enhance the change process. Somatic movement coaching is an organic and client-centered approach and is a powerful catalyst for behavior change. Plus, it’s non-invasive and complementary with all the other things you do for health and wellness.

Progress your movement skills in a challenging yet creative way, session over session, to repattern your body’s movement system. I have worked 1:1 with clients since 2008 in gyms, studios, in-home and online. My unique background, education and professional experience has honed my ability to offer specific and effective therapeutic support to promote function, performance and wellness.

“The somatic learning I have done with Kaila and Somatic Groundwork has been some of the most impactful work I’ve done in my whole life. Her understanding of body mechanics and function related to movement is astounding. Kaila has helped me with core support (after 3 Cesarean sections) and frozen shoulder. The core support work decreased back pain and improved posture within a couple of weeks. With my shoulder, after one session I saw a huge improvement after having a completely frozen shoulder for months.”

“Years of predominantly upper body work and sports had restricted my arm mobility and grip causing numbness while sleeping, biking and with arms overhead. I absolutely love biking but found my hands were going numb while riding. I stopped biking as I thought it was causing more problems with my arms. However, after I adjusted the alignment of my body while on my bike, I am now able to bike completely numb free! Kaila is a fantastic somatic teacher. I left every session with growing confidence that my body has the ability to come back online. What I appreciated was how Kaila incorporated movements for my whole body verse my ‘problem areas’. I highly recommend Kaila to anyone who is looking to feel more ease in their bodies.”

Since 2009 I have been working 1:1 with people using movement as the agent of change. To date, I have worked with all ages (from teens to seniors) and with varying ability levels. Commonly my clients come to work with me due to experiences of cumulative injury, chronic stress, unresolved trauma and persistent pain. Somatic movement coaching helps to alleviate these symptoms while also generating stability, stamina, strength and coordination.

My foundation for movement is Somatic Groundwork– a developmental and fascia-informed movement system. I also apply resistance training, yoga asana, heart rate training and corrective exercise when appropriate and/or desired. Overall, my approach is inside-out and ground-up and intended to enhance somatic patterning for meaningful and sustainable change. My experience teaching dance, somatics, strength training, cardiorespiratory fitness, corrective exercise and yoga asana has given me a wide and deep understanding of the human movement system. Paired with my special interests in development, stress and trauma, fascia science and healing- I realize movement as medicine basic to our being.

4 session package

Experience the benefit of somatic movement practice individualized for your needs and lifestyle. Over 4 sessions, discover how to apply movement as a tonic medicine to enhance well-being and quality of movement. Each 1:1 movement session is 60 minutes via Zoom (or in person if you live in Boise, ID). In between sessions you will have homework based on agreements we make together that are related to your goals/desired outcomes, time availability, motivation, life responsibility and health status. I am also available for text or email check-ins between sessions for additional support or questions.

Change through movement training requires specificity, repetition and appropriate progression. For movement to create positive adaptation, generally 3-4 intentional sessions should be practiced per week. Outside of our time together, for best results, during the week you will perform 2-3 movement sessions on your own. Part of my job as a somatic movement coach includes helping to design your movement practice each week.

3 month program

The 3 month program is designed to encourage meaningful outcomes and movement repatterning related to your personal health and wellness goals/ intentions. Each 1:1 movement session is 60 minutes via Zoom (or in person if you live in Boise, ID). The first session is a simple movement assessment that allows me to observe your general movement organization in basic activities. From the assessment, I learn about how your body distributes movement/ forces through your major joint systems and the default strategies in place. I learn about possible muscle imbalances, restricted myofascial volumes and opportunities for repatterning. In between sessions you will have homework based on agreements we make together and that are related to your goals/desired outcomes, time availability, motivation, life responsibility and health status. I am also available for text or email check-ins between sessions for additional support or questions.

Ideally over the first 4 weeks we meet 2x per week. After that, for the remaining 8 weeks, we meet 1x per week. Along with the movement assessment, the program includes a total of 16 sessions in 12 weeks.

the Somatic Movement Coaching 3 month program includes:

First session: movement assessment (with follow-up details and summary)
15 movement sessions over 3 months
Homework between sessions that may include: embodied lifestyle practice, Somatic Groundwork and/or exercise sequences
Detailed electronic notes from each session (Google Drive)
