Workshop

Welcome, dear one

Are you a VITA™ Coach ready to supercharge your client’s transformation?

This workshop was created for you!

We all know the magic of VITA™ - a roadmap to profound healing, integration and transformation.

But what happens when clients struggle to "drop in" and connect with their somatic wisdom?

Since I first started offering somatic-based coaching, my main curiosity as a practitioner has been to facilitate my client’s journeys into the rich and wise landscape of their somas.

At this stage of my business, I’ve worked with more than 100 individual clients, and in all these years and hours of practice, I’ve noticed that each person gets to this work with a different level of embodied awareness and familiarity with their body-minds.

Just like most of other VITA™ coaches, I’ve felt stuck, frustrated, and lost when I’d invite a client to notice what was going on in their bodies as they expressed a given goal, or accessed an image in their five senses reality, and they simply couldn’t notice anything.

So many times, I saw myself battling with clients who insisted in staying attached to a narrative and wanting to address everything from the mind, from their reasoning.

I came across self-doubt, disbelief in the efficacy of the methodology and feeling defeated in my early attempts to guide clients into their body-minds.

What started as a huge challenge to the kind of coaching I KNEW I could offer, ended up becoming one of my coaching superpowers.

  • I started reading and studying more about the foundations of somatic coaching.
  • I enrolled in different classes and workshops to learn more about embodiment from experienced teachers.
  • I started my Somatic Experiencing Training.
  • I trusted the power of simple and easy practices to support my client’s embodiment journeys.

And I experimented A LOT in sessions.

I tried different approaches with different clients.
I learned how to talk about somatic embodiment in simple terms.
I used simple practices repeatedly to see how they’d support folks over time.

This rich and investigative path has helped me meet clients where they are at, and to help them befriend their bodies, understand the importance of integrating and expressing the body-mind-spirit in their journeys, so healing and embodied transformation is available.

And now I want to share my strategies with you!

This is NOT your typical lecture-and-leave workshop

In this 2-part interactive sessions, you'll:

  • Master simple, yet powerful strategies to gently guide your clients towards embodiment.
  • Demystify key concepts like Somatics, felt sense, and the body-mind connection.
  • Practice hands-on techniques to support trust, awareness, and integration.
  • Deepen your understanding of trauma-informed coaching for a safe and effective journey.
  • Develop personalized approaches to meet each client’s unique needs.
"Marina's teaching around felt sense and Easing the Embodiment Journey workshop have been transformative for me, as a coach and as a being on this planet. I understand now what embodiment IS and how to take clients on this journey in a way that feels accessible and safe. Client sessions feel clear to me now - what it is I'm doing and asking my clients to do, and how to meet all kinds of their needs or resistance here. It has deepened also my personal practices in a way that is profound and well, life changing. Thank you, Marina."

I invite you to take a moment and imagine...

Clients confidently navigating their inner landscapes, empowered by a deep understanding of their body-mind.

Trauma-informed strategies that create a safe space for deep and lasting healing.

Effortlessly guiding them into embodied awareness, creating fertile ground for deeper work.

Witnessing breakthroughs and profound shifts as they embrace their somatic wisdom.

Why invest in yourself and your clients?

The essence of somatic coaching is to support clients with a bottom-up approach to healing and transformation.

The soma – the living body in its wholeness, aka: body, mind and spirit – is at the core of this coaching modality, and if we as practitioners fail to educate and support our client’s somatic development, we’re actually failing to provide the service we’re offering.

Also, when it comes to the depth and complexity of the VITA™ methodology, we can only fully apply it in sessions with clients who are ready and equipped to drop in, notice, acknowledge and express the information held in their body-minds.
This means that if a client’s readiness to deep somatic work is very little, we must be able to do some foundational work first.

TL;DR

  • Somatic coaching is the future of coaching. Clients crave deeper healing, and VITA uniquely provides the framework for it.
  • Equipped with these tools, you’ll attract and retain clients seeking profound transformation.
  • Experience the joy of witnessing your clients blossom as they connect with their authentic selves.
"Marina truly walks the talk of what she teaches. She is teaching us about the soma - mind, body, spirit - from her whole soma. I learn not only from her words and her expertise (which is deep and rich) on this topic, but also from her energy, her presence, and how she holds these teachings in her body and being. Marina is the mentor and teacher I return to again and again because when I'm in learning spaces or practice spaces with her, I always receive 10-fold of what I've invested. Being in her orbit transforms me, grows me, and deepens my capacity to guide others. "
Kim Lucier
VITA Coach
"Marina's guidance is deep, insightful and practical, so you understand the topic at hand with plenty of nuance and clarity. I love how grounded, loving and profound is the field that she creates when she guides or teaches. It's a transmission field."

"This workshop was so helpful and insightful for me! It gave me a deeper understanding of the body-mind and the different nuances of what embodiment can be. It also gave me clarity on how to guide my clients in sessions, based on where they are at in their own embodiment journey. Marina is a fantastic and highly experienced teacher, and I feel lucky to get the opportunity to learn from her in and outside the VITA-program. Thank you! "
