Presence is the foundation for change.
Somatic, nervous system, and conscious growth coaching to help you be present with more of the human experience, feel at home in your body, and live from your own nature.
There are three ways to meet any experience. You can be swept up in it, flooded by what the past taught your nervous system to expect. You can stand outside it and watch yourself through a critic’s eyes. Or you can be here with it, as the one perceiving from the inside out, with enough compassion to hold it while it reshapes. Presence is the third, and it takes a regulated nervous system.
This work moves bottom up through the nervous system and top down through coaching, because your brain shapes experience from both directions.
I’m Susan Reis, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and developmental or psychosynthesis coach. I came to this work through my own experience of disconnection and chronic pain, and deeper self-inquiry. My approach is grounded in neuroscience and deepened through contemplation, where my own roots in this work began.
The soma is not only the physical body.
This work moves across the physical body and nervous system, the emotional and relational field, the cognitive and meaning-making mind, and the sense of self that holds and orients them all, because they move as one.
