In this episode of the Somatic Series, I sit down with Resilient Somatic Coach Michelle Banks for a powerful demonstration of what coaching is capable of. Michelle brings a deep presence, creating a space of genuine care, safety, and no pressure—just the experience of being fully seen. Her approach blends mindfulness and somatic work, allowing the body to guide from an intuitive state and helping clients connect with their inner knowing. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be truly met where you are, this episode is for you. From Michelle’s website, “The body’s intelligence knows things that neither we nor our clients know about the source of their unwanted attitudes and behavior. Hakomi practitioners learn to track and explore subtle somatic cues (i.e., facial expressions, breathing, tensions, postures, and movement patterns) that indicate the presence of unconscious thoughts, feelings, and patterns. Hakomi-based coaching is grounded in current neuroscience, combines somatic techniques, empathic attunement, limbic resonance, and the gentle inward-looking practice of Mindfulness.”To connect with Michelle, here is her website: https://theresilientsomaticcoach.com/
