The Art of Somatic Coaching introduces the concepts and principles of coaching with practices that include body awareness, bodywork, and mindfulness for both the coach and the client. Author and expert coach, Richard Strozzi-Heckler, PhD, explains that in order to achieve truly sustainable changes in individuals, teams, and organizations, it is necessary to implement body-oriented somatic practices in order to dissolve habits, behaviors, and interpretations of the world that are no longer relevant. He explains that these ways of being are integrated in the body--at the level of the musculature, organs, and nervous system. By implementing a somatic approach, these patterns can be shifted in order for transformation to occur.
Opening with a discussion of the roots of Somatic Coaching, the book describes the emotional and physical cost of being distanced from our bodies. Originating from the rationalistic idea that the mind and body are separate, this sense of disconnection spurred the emergence of the field of somatics that views the body as not just a physiological entity, but as the center of our lived experience in the world. Out of this philosophy, Somatic Coaching was developed as a way to cultivate the self through the body.
Methods in this book include:
• Somatic awareness--becoming aware of sensations
• Somatic opening--includes bodywork to release held patterns in the body
• Somatic practices--meditation, movement, and being present in everyday life
The social context in which one is raised, the supportive, healing force of the outdoors and nature as well as acknowledgment of the spirit are also woven into the practice. Through these practices, a rhythm of unfolding occurs in what Strozzi-Heckler describes as an Arc of Transformation--moving in stages from conditioned tendencies to a new satisfying and fulfilling way of being that is fully embodied.

Masterfully written!
Richard Strozzi-Heckler writes from the space of mastery ... distilling an art and science and philosophy in the spirit on Zen-like minimalism.
This book is like a fine wine. Most sentences need to be savored ... somatically engaged!!!
Those already familiar with ontological coaching and inquiry, as well as some type of somatic practice, will get the most out of it.
Such a rich experience. I look forward to meeting the author someday, and maybe even getting up on the mat together to practice!

Clear, grounded and comprehensive. This book resources the author's wisdom of a lifetime of study and practices, practical experiences and depth of spirit. It's written in a way that the deep well of this wisdom is accessible and practicable. To metabolize this work is the work of personal evolution toward self - mastery. I'll read it again and again.
