ACCESS THE SOMATIC SELF-DOUBT REMEDY

OUR Vision

At The School Of Somatic Leadership For Women™, we envision a world where women feel empowered to express their voice authentically, and to break the internalised narratives that are keeping us feeling stressed, burnt out, doubting ourselves and playing small.

We believe that there is a gentler way for women to have the conscious impact they desire within their families, communities and workplaces without sacrificing themselves.

We guide women back into their bodies, where they can reconnect with their innate stillness, wisdom, resilience, courage and power, and truly embody the vision they have for their life and leadership.

This transformational journey is a personal path and a movement. It leads us to reimagine what is possible not only for ourselves, but also for generations of young women to come.

How can we support you?

We offer coaching, mentoring, training and retreats for women and practitioners working with women.

Our approach encompasses not only working with the mind, but also working somatically, with and through the body to create deeper, longer lasting transformation.

Like our mind, our bodies are a collection of our most prominent beliefs and experiences. Therefore, a whole-body approach is needed to unwind the patterns that are keeping us from feeling serene, rested, resourced, radiant and from stepping fully into our potential, our life and our leadership.

Return to Serenity.

Our Serenity Within programme helps women to go from feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and stuck to feeling calmer, lighter, more resilient and joyful. Wherever you are, it will help you see a clear path forward.

I WANT TO BRING SOMATIC APPROACHES INTO MY COACHING

I’m the Founder of The School Of Somatic Leadership For Women™, a Somatic & Embodied Feminine Leadership coach, trainer and educator.

Several years ago, after years of striving without ever pausing, my life came crashing down. My mental and emotional health plummeted. My anxiety reached such a level that the smallest hurdle in my day sent me into a downward emotional spiral.

I now know that I experienced a severe burnout.

It very nearly broke me.

Like most challenging experiences, it opened a doorway towards change.

It served as a catalyst to transform the way I choose to live and to reorient my purpose and my work.

After 20 years in the corporate world, I now specialise in helping women to reconnect with themselves and their intrinsic sense of self-worth, and to break the cycles keeping them feeling stressed and burnt out, doubting themselves and playing small.

Because when we tone down the perfectionism, people pleasing, anxiety and struggling, space opens up to engage with life in a richer, more fulfilling and conscious way.

My coaching is insightful, transformational and compassionate because this has been my journey too.

MEET THE FOUNDER

HI, I’M ISABELLE

“In life, we need to portray this well put-together version of ourselves and hide our vulnerabilities. Isabelle has truly made a real, positive impact on my life. I’m able to break down the self-destructive thought patterns I let roam free in the past.”
“Working with Isabelle has been absolutely life changing. I have come to appreciate how our minds work in terms of dealing with issues and how this can affect our behaviour. I have been able to process negative emotions that I had been carrying around for years. This has been an absolute revelation.”
“Isabelle has helped me to get to a point where I’m able to bring my whole self to any given situation, without the negative emotions getting in the way, clouding my judgement and dictating my behaviour. It’s been incredibly rewarding.”

Our APPROACH

What makes us different

Through an integrative approach which includes somatic coaching, parts work, somatic positive psychology, mindfulness, self-compassion, and embodiment, we guide women back into their body to release the deeply ingrained patterns that are preventing us from feeling whole, confident, rested and impactful.

We offer a unique combination of somatic practices, leadership development, and personal inner work in a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate, and trauma-informed space, where women are invited to deepen their self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-trust and ultimately regain their self-sovereignty.

We apply a feminine lens to our work, and we believe in the power of polarity. As women, we can be both vulnerable AND fierce, compassionate AND strong, independent AND caring, generous AND boundaried.

“I want women to claim the treasure of our own power.”

— Elizabeth Lesser

The courage to slow down and live at the pace of our body

The pace at which we live our lives seems to be constantly accelerating, and it’s easy to get swept up in the forward moving current that we are all swimming in.

It’s as though we are pulled by an irresistible urge to be doing more, moving ever faster, pushing ourselves further.

This forward motion is often driven by a desire to feel fulfilled, happy, and at peace.

Embodied Feminine Leadership: your way of being is a way of leading

As women, we are often conflicted about leadership.

We might want to step up to lead and take a stance for what we believe in, but the current style of leadership that is role modelled to us isn’t always one we are willing to embrace. It often demands that we abandon parts of who we are, in order to fit in and belong. This way of leading omits a huge portion of who we are as women, and undervalues the unique qualities that we are naturally gifted with and embody.

Could High functioning anxiety be the cause of your burnout as a high achieving woman?

High functioning anxiety is a sneaky type of anxiety. It often goes unrecognised, because of its high functioning nature.

On the surface, you appear together, grounded and in control.

You overachieve at work, and are often admired for your hard-work, commitment, and attention to detail.

You have a successful career and seem to have an incredible ability to juggle a high level role with the demands of everyday life.

You seem to 'have it all'.

But it comes at a cost.
