Finally Feel Confident Guiding Your Clients Back Into Their Bodies

Get my FREE guide with 10 Simple, Powerful Embodiment Practices for Sex, Love & Relationship Coaches

As a VITA Coach, you know somatic work is the key to lasting transformation.
But when you’re in session and a client needs grounding, regulation, or a way back to sensation… do you feel that flicker of uncertainty?

This guide gives you the practices I use every single day—with private clients, in VITA classes, and in my own body. Simple enough to teach in minutes. Powerful enough to shift a nervous system and open clients to deeper somatic explorations.

Hey dear one,

If you’ve ever felt that moment in a coaching session where you know your client needs to drop into their body… but you’re not quite sure how to guide them there without overwhelming their system—this guide is for you.

I’ve spent years learning that the artistry of embodiment isn’t about having a hundred techniques. It’s about mastering a handful of practices you can trust, adapt, and offer with confidence—whether your client is reluctant to explore their own sensations, buzzing with anxiety, or ready to meet pleasure for the first time in years.

These 10 practices are the ones I return to again and again. They’re trauma-informed, nervous-system-friendly, and deeply effective—even online, even in 60-minute sessions, even with clients who are new to somatic work.

Inside this free guide, you'll learn:

Help clients feel safe enough to be present in their bodies

Simple patterns that balance activation and calming

Teach clients to slowly befriend pleasure, even in challenging moments

Release stuck emotion and cultivate aliveness

The nervous system principles that make everything else work

Clear, step-by-step guidance you can follow in session

Trauma-informed considerations so you never push a client’s system too far

Real coaching context — when to use each practice and why

Why this matters

Here’s what I’ve learned after working with hundreds of clients and teaching somatic embodiment to thousands of coaches worldwide:

Your clients don’t just need information. They need to feel safe, alive, and whole again.

And that happens in the Soma, the living body in its wholeness—not in the mind.

When you know how to guide someone back into sensation, back into breath, back into the present moment… you become the kind of coach clients remember for the rest of their lives.

You also become more embodied yourself. Because every time you offer these practices, you’re reminded:
I’m part of this too. This is sacred work. Attuned presence is the medicine.

Who is this for

This guide is perfect for you if:

  • You’re a VITA-trained coach (or sexuality/relationship coach) who wants to deepen your somatic skills
  • You know embodiment is essential, but feel uncertain about how to guide it safely and effectively
  • You want trauma-informed practices you can trust—not just techniques you saw on Instagram
  • You’re ready to feel more confident, grounded, and masterful in your coaching sessions
  • You want to offer your clients the kind of transformation that happens in the Soma, not just in the story

Hi, I’m Marina, somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Embodiment Coach, and Mentor to Sex, Love & Relationship Coaches

I’m devoted to guiding individuals and couples back to their relational wholeness and erotic aliveness — and to mentoring the practitioners who hold this sacred work in the world.

My training includes Somatic Experiencing®, VITA Sex, Love & Relationship Coaching, Ontological Coaching, Breath Coaching, and Relational Life Couples Coaching (in-training). But what truly shapes my work is this: I believe healing happens in relationship, not in isolation.

When we expand our capacity for connection—with ourselves, our partners, our communities—we reclaim our power to lead, love, and serve from wholeness.

In my individual and couples practice, I walk with people trapped in past trauma as they heal, reclaim their sense of power and agency, rediscover relationality, and remember their erotic aliveness. This isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about coming home to the body’s wisdom and allowing wholeness to emerge so we can live better and more relational lives.

As a Senior Teacher and Mentor at VITA™, I support emerging Sex, Love & Relationship Coaches through ongoing case consultation, continued education, and sustainable business development. I help coaches develop the somatic mastery, trauma-informed presence, and embodied confidence that allows them to hold transformational space for their clients.

My approach weaves together clinical precision and Brazilian warmth, honoring the Soma as a vessel of wisdom and working with erotic energy as both medicine and spiritual practice. I integrate soma, psyche, and spirit—drawing from multiple lineages while staying anchored in somatic reality.

Originally from Brazil and now based in Mill Valley, California, I live with my beloved husband David, our daughter Isabella, and our rescue dog Jessie. My cultural roots, spiritual syncretism, and earth-based wisdom infuse everything I create.
