NERVOUS SYSTEM-INFORMED COACHING
FOR DEEP, LASTING CHANGE
Somatic Coaching
with Heather Waxman
If you’ve done mindset work, meditation, breathwork, and journaling—and still feel anxious, exhausted, stuck, or disconnected—there’s nothing wrong with you!
Your nervous system may simply need support.
Somatic coaching is a body-based approach that can help you gently release chronic stress and unresolved trauma from your nervous system, and can help you strengthen your felt sense of trust and safety within yourself.
Hi, I’m Heather. Welcome!
I am a licensed therapist, Certified Somatic Exercises Instructor, and heart-led leader who truly gives a shit about your transformation.
I’m not a surface-level coach. I’m a somatic mystic and holistic practitioner here for deep, transformative, intimate work. My mission is to help you transform old pain and survival patterns into power, authenticity, and inner safety — through somatic coaching, nervous system healing, and spiritually grounded guidance.
I am masterful at creating emotionally safe spaces for people to break free from deeply ingrained patterns and return to their true natures.
WHAT ARE SOMATIC EXERCISES?
Somatic exercises are gentle, intentional movements and
awareness practices designed to support YOUR nervous system
Somatic exercises can help your body:
Shift out of chronic fight, flight, or freeze mode
Build your capacity for calm, clarity, and presence
Respond to life instead of reacting to it
This is a bottom-up approach—working with the body to support emotional regulation, mental clarity, and spiritual grounding.

TESTIMONIALS
WHO THIS WORK IS FOR
COMMON THEMES I SUPPORT CLIENTS with
Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or on edge for “no clear reason”
Creating a felt sense of inner safety and security
Struggling to rest and slow down, even when it’s safe to do so
Responding to triggers with less reactivity, blame, and defensiveness and more peace, compassion, and neutrality
Chronic back pain or upper body tension
Chronic fatigue
Indigestion or a tight and contracted diaphragm, making it difficult to take a deep breath
Insomnia, difficulty going to sleep, and/or difficulty staying asleep
Brain fog and mid-day exhaustion
Mental clarity, emotional clarity, and feeling like yourself again
How Somatic Coaching Works
In our work together, you’ll be guided through simple, accessible somatic exercises that support nervous system regulation and embodied self-awareness.
Sessions include:
Gentle movements done mostly lying down on the floor, and sometimes seated
Orientation and grounding exercises
Tracking sensations, impulses, and internal cues
Learning how the nervous system works and what it feels like to be both dysregulated and regulated, and how your body shows you this
Integrating insights from the body into daily life
This work is slow by design—because lasting change happens when your nervous system feels safe enough to soften.
How This Is Different from Traditional Coaching or Therapy?
Somatic coaching is not talk therapy, diagnosis, or trauma processing. It can be done in person or virtually — I work with clients all over the world!
Instead, it focuses on:
Educating students on the nervous system
Teaching nervous system regulation skills
Increasing bodily awareness and choice
Supporting resilience, presence, and self-trust
Helping your system settle so change can occur naturally
If you’re in therapy, this work can beautifully complement it. If therapy hasn’t felt accessible or effective for you, this may offer a gentler entry point.
