somatic Coaching and restorative practices
deepen your connection to self and others
Life’s pace can feel overwhelming at times, and sometimes this rapid pace can become our default way of being. There comes a time when we feel called to pause, slow down, and relate to the world from a different rhythm. Through ICF-certified coaching and Restorative Yoga practices, I offer clients the space to pause and look view challenges or goals from a new perspective. My experience gives me a unique insight into the mind-body connection and its impact on decision-making, problem-solving, and creating fulfilling lives.
Through working with Paula, I discovered deep-set beliefs that had been holding me back, and found the most amazing and empowering ways to connect to myself!

reconnect to your power through Somatic coaching
Somatics, meaning "living body" in Greek, is an approach that views the body as a source of wisdom. It highlights the mind-body connection, encouraging exploration of physical sensations and emotions for deeper self-awareness and understanding.
As a certified Somatic Coach through the Mindfulness Coaching school, I’ve helped my clients:
Gain clarity and direction
Develop emotional resilience
Embrace self-confidence
Enhance self-awareness

KIND WORDS FROM FORMER CLIENTS
I love Paula’s use of metaphors. We develop a whole new vocabulary and imagery unique to our coaching relationship that Paula’s questions and methods elicit. Her questions guide me to “ah-hah” moments that are empowering and exciting because they come from within myself. I look forward to our sessions because I am excited about the vision of my future that we are jointly bringing into focus.
-Mawadda, Washington DC
I really loved my sessions with Paula! She has a really kind and gentle energy. Paula helped me gain clarity over some issues that were blocking me from moving forward in my business and personal life. She is really perceptive and intuitive and she was a great match for me. I totally recommed her, she is such a gifted coach!

- Mabel, NY
I usually think that I have been there done that when I think of coaching and self-improvement activities. I can say that our process was magical and at the end, I managed to change my perspective on issues that I had been struggling with for years if not for decades, and as I changed my perspective, miracles happened and things got resolved.
-Claudia, Washington DC
The word magic can’t begin to describe what coaching with you feels like, Paula. Thank you for everything!
- Nancy, USA
I met my objectives and I got to experience the magic that surrounds us on a day-to-day basis if we are open to it. Other take-aways that have helped me a lot in my path were powerful mindfulness techniques. Her empathy and professionalism were also aspects that made my experience a very nurturing one. I'm very glad about this choice!!
