The approach of the embodied creative helps you to
ALIGN WITH, DEEPEN & ACHIEVE EXPRESSION
of your distinctive voice.

Coaching is a creative act. Together, we enter a territory of exploration, learning and support—a creative sanctuary—where new insights and understanding help you to take new actions in your life. If you believe, or just have an inkling, that expression arises through your whole being and you want to expand your creative capacity, clarify your longing, increase your presence and align your deepest desire with its expression in the world, then this work is for you.

Our bodies are conduits for expression. Through knowing the language of our bodies we increase our awareness of how creative energy moves through us and we see that our strongest language arises from the clear vessel of our body. Our voices rise as much from our gut as from our intellect, as much from the mystery as from our emotions, as much from an idea we want to pursue as the mood we’re in.

If you want to be a powerful creator of your life or life’s work, you have to be able to feel your own aliveness, and to do that you have to feel and live fully in your body. This is what somatic, presence-based coaching helps you to do: to find that place within you from which clarity, aliveness, joy and spirited communication can occur.

We explore together your historical shaping, become aware of how your body-self both limits and allows expression to take place. We’ll work through the body to understand these places of holding that no longer serve you and learn how to safely move into more generative territory so that the words, the language, the value inside of you can come forward freely. We’ll work toward a newfound ability to write, speak and live from your centered intelligence, where your most authentic voice can keep resounding.

Coaching One-on-One: The Steps

 

Step 1 in coaching with Renee Gregorio

Initial Questionnaire:
The first step in engaging in a coaching relationship is to fill out the initial questionnaire for coaching.

After I review your questionnaire, I’ll contact you to set up our information conversation, which lasts about 30 minutes. During this time, we’ll have a chance to get to know each other a bit and assess whether we’re a good match for working together.

 

Step 2 in coaching with Renee Gregorio

Initial Consultation:
If we decide to work together, we begin with our first coaching session, which is a more in-depth consultation and a series of intake questions. At this time we will also contract for the length of our coaching engagement. I work one-on-one with clients for periods of three or six months, meeting every two weeks. At the beginning of our coaching, I will also ask that you sign a coaching agreement that delineates my commitment to you and yours to me. I’ll send the intake questions and coaching agreement to you a week before our first coaching session.

 

Step 3 in coaching with Renee Gregorio

Blueprint for Coaching:
After our initial session, and directly out of what is generated in our first conversation, I will design a coaching blueprint specifically for you.  I’ll send it to you after our first session, and we will go back and forth, co-creating our way to a plan that works best for you.  This will serve both of us as we navigate your development throughout the coaching process.

 

Start the conversation by filling out this initial questionnaire.

What Others Say About the Work

 

I have a tendency to be self-critical, yet somatic work has given me a grounding I just didn’t have before. I have a positive vision that’s evolving — it keeps getting stronger. I don’t feel the self-doubt I used to feel. I can be strong and do what I have to do. I’m finding the trust in myself that’s actually been there all along.

Renée’s support has been invaluable in writing Your Body Is Your Brain. Out of the many ways in which she’s helped me face down my writing demons (and face up to what I’m really capable of), probably the most useful has been to help me see and articulate the conditions that lead to my best, clearest, and most effortless expression. I am so grateful!

The wonder for me in working with Renée is that in each session, in varying exercises or methods, my body clearly speaks with physical expressions of deeply held beliefs. When beliefs are in the open in such dramatic ways, it seems easier to understand them and work with them. I can tap into self-discovery and wisdom. I now know what it means to 'sing the body electric.'

The results of this work in my life have been subtle but powerful. I find myself—at work, at home, with my friends, colleagues, my family, myself—more confident, more grounded, more able to articulate and respect how I am feeling ... Renée has a rare talent for listening, respecting, and honoring my needs, feelings, and responses. She is reassuring, and makes me feel very safe and validated. It is a powerful combination of skills.

For several years, Renée and I have done somatic coaching via Skype to help me complete a book. The work has been precisely practical and infinitely spacious. Did you ever stray from your garden? Renée helped me find my way home, again and again.
