Somatic comes from the word SOMA, meaning the body in its wholeness. Somatic coaching involves partnering with the client as a whole person, more than just their mind and their abilities, but working with who they are as a whole, interactive, living being. This includes our automatic thinking, feelings and moods, actions or non-action, beliefs, muscular contractions, and ways of relating. This includes habituated patterns- like moving towards (eg appease), away or against in times of stress/pressure. In somatic coaching we use the body's wisdom that you can sense and feel as our guide. You will set a declaration to work towards and we will do practises together through which we will explore and evolve. Working through the body allows for a long term change.
I'm Stacia Skappak and I love somatic coaching. I first discovered it as a client and it made a huge difference in my life.

I'm Stacia Skappak and I love somatic coaching. I first discovered it as a client and it made a huge difference in my life. I was on a path but it was a path of (other's) expectations, corporate climbing, self judgement and simply putting one foot in front of the other. I had purpose but it never quite felt like me. Something was missing. I was disconnected! Somatics gave me the chance to explore in a whole new way. A way that opened up and connected me to possibilities I hadn't been allowing myself to feel, experience or move towards. Somatics opened me up to what was naturally within ME!
I am a Strozzi Institute Certified somatic coach and a member of the ICF (International Coaching Federation). I have been coaching since 2020 both online via zoom and in person.
I offer a range of coaching services, including one-on-one coaching sessions (the most popular being the 10 session package), small group coaching, and workshops. Contact me today to schedule a free consultation.
I had been grappling with an issue that was difficult for me to get a handle on. Not only could I not think it through, but I also couldn’t express or admit it, even to myself. Working with Stacia was exactly what I needed because she is incredibly perceptive and knows the right questions to ask that allows for insight, clarity and emotional healing.
I was able to see clearly not only what was going on with me, but why and how I could move past it. And it didn’t take forever!
If you’re struggling with something that is holding you back, something that’s difficult to articulate, you can trust yourself and Stacia that you can get to the other side of whatever is holding you back.
I am so honored to work with Stacia! She is truly gifted at holding space for me to have my own experience in my body. She gave me many tools to "be" in my body as I work toward my goal of self love. I am now able to catch myself when I find I'm too much in my head and refocus my attention into my body. I can find where traumas and triggers are located in my body and have a conversation with them, resulting in new possibilities for living my life. I recommend Stacia to those who want to shift their life perspective from the mind driven approach that we've been taught in our society, to a life perspective that is anchored in a healthy integration of mind and body, allowing you to live life with more ease and certainty.
Using intriguing somatic tools and processes, Stacia helped me navigate through a difficult, uncomfortable and uncertain time in my life. I was definitely feeling lost.
Stacia’s style of coaching provided a safe and educational environment that helped me find my way and realize that you can move past trauma and live again. I gained tools that showed me how to cope and be open to new possibilities.
The coaching allowed me to find missing parts of my life and to learn new processes that would mitigate painful triggers of my past and alter my reaction and behaviour in a positive way. This has helped me regain my confidence and move forward with my life. Whether the issues are personal or professional, everyone could benefit from her style of somatic coaching.
When my daughter was born I thought (mind) I was doing ok, but I ended up getting Shingles from the stress (body). My body broke through the “everything is fine” and communicated that my stress levels were not ok. That experience convinced me of the strong link between body and stress and how the body can store memories and trauma.
Stacia’s coaching helped me explore ways to recognize stressors, prepare and utilize strategies that made significant improvements in my life. Her approach helped me set goals and measure progress. Connecting with her each month reminded me of what I wanted to be important in my life.
I highly recommend Stacia for exploring your deeper needs and having her work with you towards what is possible.
