About Me

I am founder of The BodySoul Coach, and I help you move from overwhelm to calm through somatic coaching.

Hi, I’m Christina!

And I’m on a mission to move you from overwhelmed and exhausted to calm and capable.

In 2022, I founded The BodySoul Coach with one mission: to help people to access their inner resourcefulness. I guide you to explore the deeper connection between your body and mind, through Somatic coaching in Dublin.

Through practices that help you take action toward what truly matters, my work helps you live with more clarity, purpose, and fulfilment.

My Journey: From Overwhelm to Empowerment

In 2015 I arrived back in Ireland after decades living away and it dawned on me. The parts of me I ran away from when I left the country were still here waiting for me. Oh great. I was confronted with feelings of anxiousness and found it difficult to set boundaries. I felt stuck, unsure of how to manage these unfamiliar emotions. My usual “I’ll think my way out of this” was not working.

My journey of healing and self-discovery began when I got honest with myself about how overwhelmed and disconnected from the zest for life I now was. Like many, I turned to short programs that promised transformation—but instead, I was left more frustrated and disconnected than before.

I know firsthand how difficult it can be to find the right support when you’re searching for a way to rekindle your energy. It was only through Somatic Coaching that I finally found the tools to reconnect with myself and my purpose.

Why Somatic Coaching?

A Life-Changing Experience

After trying various approaches with limited success, Somatic Coaching was the turning point that truly changed my life. It opened my eyes to the wisdom stored within my body and taught me how to recognize and understand my emotions on a deeper level.

I became more aware of how I was showing up in the world, which allowed me to communicate more authentically and ask for the support I needed. My personal relationships improved dramatically, and I gained clarity on what really mattered to me—and how to move toward those goals with confidence.

How We’ll Work Together: Honest, Empowering, Transparent

In our work together, I’ll partner with you to explore what you truly long for in life and the steps needed to get there. Using Somatic Practices and powerful coaching questions, we’ll uncover the innate wisdom within your body so that you can achieve what you want in life and be fully yourself .

This process will empower you not only to recognize your potential but to feel confident in making the changes needed for a more energized, fulfilled life.

Whether you’re based in Dublin or prefer online sessions, my approach is honest, transparent, and designed to help you feel capable of making lasting changes.

Client Success Stories

Don’t just take my word for it-hear from clients who’ve transformed their lives through our work together. Each story below showcases how Somatic Coaching has helped individuals like you overcome challenges and unlock their potential.

Siobhan was overwhelmed and struggling to find balance in her life. Through our work, she became more comfortable leaning on support networks and embracing her emotions. She now feels more open, with less fear of the unknown, and has learned how to transform strong emotions into purposeful action. In her own words:

“Once you break things down, they’re not as scary to face. When you push through fear, it no longer holds you. I’m working smarter, with more focus and intention. I’m more open with my feelings and listening to my gut more, which has made decision-making much easier.”

Siobhan, Small Business Owner

Louise, a stay-at-home mum, felt stuck and overwhelmed by the prospect of re-entering the workforce. She feared putting herself out there after being away for so long. Through our Somatic Coaching Sessions, we explored her desire to be a role model for her children, helping her gain clarity and confidence.

The practices we worked on allowed Louise to reconnect with her sense of self-worth, ultimately leading to two rewarding part-time jobs that reignited her passion and sense of possibility. In her own words:

“I’ve started volunteering and making connections outside of my school/home bubble. I’m mixing more with different people, which has opened up new opportunities. At times when I feel nervous, I practice centering, which really helps. I’m grateful for the sessions and now feel confident deciding how to move forward.”

Louise, Mum Re-entering the Workforce

Michael, a successful small business owner and business coach, found himself overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts and felt disconnected from his body. This mental overwhelm affected both his personal life and work. Through our Somatic Coaching, Michael learned to tune into his body’s physical sensations, helping him identify emotions linked to stress and unresolved issues.

By integrating somatic practices into his daily routine, Michael was able to release long-held tension and embrace a more grounded, mindful approach to both life and business. His transformation led to deeper self-awareness, better emotional management, and improved relationships. In his own words:

“I highly recommend Christina for her exceptional guidance in the somatic space. Her intuitive and empathetic approach helped me connect deeply with my body, recognize my emotions, and cultivate mindful awareness. Working with Christina has led to numerous insights and breakthroughs—such as realizing that chronic tension in my shoulders was linked to ongoing stress. I’ve also identified a pattern of anger tied to unmet needs and learned to express these needs more healthily. These practices have fostered greater self-compassion and reduced anxiety, significantly enhancing my overall well-being.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is coaching?

Coaching is a collaborative process where the coach partners with the client to unlock their full potential. It’s an empowering relationship that encourages self-discovery, helping the client explore new ideas and possibilities in a non-judgmental, confidential space. Instead of giving direct advice, the coach asks powerful questions that guide the client to find their own solutions.

This process often leads to meaningful, positive changes in both personal and professional areas of life. Through coaching, clients become more aware of their own strengths, enabling them to set clearer goals and take purposeful action. Whether you’re looking for personal development, stress management, or career clarity, coaching provides the tools and support you need to move forward with confidence.

What is Somatic Coaching?

Somatic Coaching focuses on the connection between the body and mind, helping you become more aware of the physical sensations tied to your emotions and behaviours. In our sessions, we’ll explore what your body is communicating in various situations. As you build this awareness, I’ll guide you through practices that help soften tension and allow you to show up more fully in your life.

By connecting with your body’s intelligence, you’ll experience deeper relationships with yourself and others, and feel more aligned with your purpose. Somatic coaching also emphasizes the importance of community—whether it’s family, friends, or colleagues—as we all need a network of support to thrive. This body-centered approach provides you with the tools to manage stress, improve relationships, and take more intentional steps toward your goals.

How does the coaching process work?

The coaching process typically begins with a discovery session, where we explore where you are now and where you want to go. From there, you can enrol in a coaching program that consists of several sessions over a specified period. In the initial session, we assess your current situation and clarify your goals.

As we progress, we dive deeper into who you are—your values, beliefs, and the unconscious patterns that may be holding you back. We’ll work together to align your decisions with your true values, enabling you to make better choices. Throughout the process, you are in full control of the agenda. You bring specific goals and challenges to each session, and together we map out the best path forward to achieve your desired outcomes.

How often are coaching sessions scheduled, and how long is a session?

The frequency of coaching sessions depends on the program you choose and your unique needs. Sessions are generally scheduled every 2 weeks, allowing enough time to process insights and implement new strategies between meetings. Each session lasts between 60 to 90 minutes and can be conducted either in person or online, depending on what works best for you. I tailor the schedule to your pace and comfort, ensuring that you get the most out of each session. Whatever you prefer.
