How Therapeutic Coaching is Different from Life Coaching
This is more than goal-setting – it’s whole-person transformation.
Solution based (Life) coaching is wonderful - and necessary for many people.
However, if you are going through a more significant SHIfT in your health like:injury recovery,postpartum, perimenopause, burnout or autoimmune disease diagnosis, there’s an element of trauma that occurs and life coaching cannot get to it.
It’s trauma that keeps you stuck and you have no idea how to get back to the active life you desire.
This is because the use of traditional goal setting doesn’t work when you’re healing.
You have to listen to the Somatic Narrative (our body, not our mind).
Many of us were never taught how to do this.
Because you and I live in a society that is praised for productivity + efficiency (our brain loves this).
You may have no idea how to listen to your body that is telling you how to move at different pace.
Instead, you blame your body for having pain, even if you haven’t listened to what it’s telling you.
So it makes sense if you keep pushing through, keep reinjuring yourself, then decide to stop, because the cost of pain is to great.
Which makes you say No to things you desperately want to say yes to, and it makes you believe that you’re “old” in a way that sounds depressing, not inspiring.
If you don’t know what your body is saying it’s easy to listen to your productive brain telling you to push and do what you’ve always done.
Set goals, push through, go hard or stop.
Our body is speaking to us, telling us when we need: rest, slow down, recover, move steady, speed up and go fast.
This is why I decided to become a therapeutic coach to coach working women who’ve undergone a Health SHIFT so she can live in alignment with her body, mind, and values as she heals.
Here’s How SHIfT is different
S – Somatic Awareness
Learn how to listen to your body’s signals. We explore where resistance lives, what
emotions are driving it, and how to begin releasing it – so you can take meaningful
action from a grounded place of safety and clarity.
H – Health
Discover how to care for yourself through injury, burnout, transition, or uncertainty. You’ll
learn tools like breathwork, nervous system regulation, and movement to help you feel
more resourced and less reactive.
I – Inner Dialogue
Mindset matters – but we go deeper. You’ll begin to notice and shift the stories you tell
yourself, guided by curiosity rather than judgment. This is about building a more
compassionate and empowered inner voice.
f – fun
Healing isn’t all hard work.
You will reconnect with joy, movement, and spontaneity DAILY - this isn’t about the big Fun, this is about the daily fun in your healing journey that is often lost during chronic stress over the years.
Fun isn’t an extra with the SHIfT online coaching program – it’s essential.
T – Time
Real change takes time. You’ll learn how to integrate small shifts that align with your life,
honoring your pace while staying in motion. Progress is measured not in perfection but
in alignment.
Your Body is talking, it’s time you start listening and I am here to guide you through it.
