1:1 Somatic Coaching Programme
You are a purpose-driven, aspiring or new leader, who wants to make a positive impact and create positive change with your work.
But as an introvert, you find yourself constantly doubting yourself, battling with your inner-critic, and molding yourself to fit in and meet other people’s expectations.
Being an introvert myself and an immigrant woman of colour living in a dominant culture, I understand how it feels to constantly battle against my authentic true-self and society norms, to hold myself back and shy away from expressing my authentic self.
You don’t need to change who you are to become an effective, respected and intuitive leader and can use your authentic self creatively to help lead and empower others.
The world needs more compassionate, empathetic, authentic leaders like you!
What if you could…
Lead authentically without changing who you are, whilst making a positive impact.
Befriend your imposter part and inner critic so that you can reconnect with your inner-wisdom and authentic voice.
Be true to yourself and set healthy boundaries instead of putting other people’s needs first.
Are you ready to discover who you really are and what you are capable of?
Then I’d be delighted to guide and support you through your journey.
Embody Your Authentic Self – Somatic Coaching Programme is a journey of self-discovery, allowing you to become the authentic leader you desire to be.
What is Somatic Coaching?
‘Soma’ means ‘the body’ in Greek.
In somatic coaching, we define ‘soma’ as a conscious and aware organism that has innate wisdom and inner knowing through its felt experience.
Somatic coaching focuses on integrating the body and mind to facilitate personal growth, self-awareness, and behavioural change.
Whereas traditional coaching focuses on cognitive and emotional aspects, somatic coaching recognises connections between the physical body, emotions, and cognitive processes, and emphasizes the role of physical sensations, movements, and posture in shaping our experiences and behaviours.
By including the body, somatic coaching offers a more holistic and embodied approach to personal development.
What you can expect from me as a Somatic Coach:
The coaching journey is a partnership between you and a coach.
My role as a somatic coach is to guide you to develop a deeper sense of body awareness and help you learn to pay attention to your physical sensations, such as tension, relaxation, discomfort, or ease, in order to gain insights into your emotional states and thought patterns.
There is no hierarchy in the coaching relationship. I’m not the expert or someone who has all the answers for you. Because I believe that you already have all the answers within you.
I’m here to be with you at every stage of your journey, by creating a safe place for your self-discovery and growth as you go through your journey.
I’m not here to tell you what to do and you will be taking ownership of your own journey by listening to your inner wisdom and taking aligned action, as you move towards your goal or intention.
However, we will agree on a structure for our sessions based around your personal goal or intention. I will be there to support you and provide accountability throughout your journey.
What your sessions will look like
INTENTION
We will be exploring your values, passions and soul’s purpose by connecting with your authentic true-self, and ensuring that your intentions and actions are aligned.
We will explore where you want to go on your leadership journey and use this as a focus for our work together.
SOMATIC PRACTICE
We will be exploring body awareness and presence, physical sensations and their meaning, movement patterns, habitual holding and tension, and the mind-body connection, through somatic practices such as gentle movement, breathwork and meditation.
COACHING
We will be exploring and understanding your belief systems, emotional patterns, and thought processes as well as developing a deeper understanding of different parts of yourself and your habitual patterns of relating to them.
INTEGRATION
You will leave each session with practical actions and you may receive journaling prompts, somatic practices you can practice between sessions and Yogic wisdom and principles you may consider incorporating in your daily life.
By the end of our time together:
You will have increased your confidence to lead authentically without changing who you are and discover how to use your unique gifts and world view to help shape your approach to effective leadership.
You will have the tools to befriend your imposter part and inner critic every time they come up, and connect with your inner wisdom and authentic voice.
You no longer feel guilty for not being true to yourself and are able to set healthy boundaries instead of putting other people’s needs first.

Risa is a real partner I can trust and rely on during the coaching sessions.
She helped me to reveal underlying emotions and patterns and guided me to the next level on my continous journey to grow and shine.
She has enormous patience and holds the space for me so I can really go deep into the topics which surround me.
I always have that Aha Moment during our sessions where she helps me to understand connections or asks me about underlying reasons for my actions.
Thank you so much Risa for the time we spent together – I am a richer person now!
