Somatic Coaching
by
David
van Buskirk

Helping you cultivate calm, compassionate empowerment for work, relationships, and life.

Power and love are the same word, just spelled differently.
- Paul Linden

Life is all about connection

We were created for connection - connection with others and with the world around us. But it is easy to lose track of our own experience.

Do you find yourself getting irritated at home or at work?

Do you have a hard time giving attention to things that matter?

Do you feel pulled in too many directions at once?

Stress, disordered relationships, and personal trauma can encourage us to feel anxious, frustrated, powerless, or out of control. But healthy connection is about staying grounded - developing the strength to look at things with honesty and clarity while choosing to act with intention and purpose. 

My goal is to help you give attention to your own experience while increasing your capacity to act in powerful and meaningful ways in your work, relationships, and life. 

How will you use your capacity for connection?

David expertly coordinated our training experience. The skills and awareness he developed in our ministry’s small group leaders will pay long term dividends in their lives and in the lives of their group members.

David sought to understand the particular training needs of our group and tailored the content to fit the knowledge, skills and abilities that would be most effective for our context. This kind of training is essential to anyone in leadership who works with people, relationally, emotionally or spiritually.


Participants in the training unanimously agreed they want David back for another round of training.
