Somatic Coaching & Feng Shui FAQs | Amy Babish

I’ll be honest, what happens here is that all the secret parts of yourself, those pieces no one knows about? We dig into those. This somatic coaching weaves in wisdom traditions, and Soul or Your True Self and  isn’t for the faint of heart.

This is deep work. We'll explore the hidden parts of yourself, the patterns that have been holding you back, and the intergenerational trauma that may be impacting your life. This isn't just talk therapy; it's a somatic journey that integrates your mind, body, and spirit.

We'll use a combination of somatic coaching, wisdom traditions (like the Taoist Cosmic Trilogy), and intuitive guidance to help you:

• Dissolve limiting beliefs

• Heal emotional wounds

• Connect with your True Self

• Create a life of purpose and meaning

• Manifest your deepest desires

What we can accomplish in 1 year is eons more than you have accomplished in 20 years of therapy.

It’s here that you get to be all of you. Even the parts of yourself that are costing you a true feeling of wholeness, embodiment, and what you deeply desire. No more holding back what matters to you most. The Belonging and Freedom that you have been seeking that feel just out of reach…we’ve got you.

In our coaching, I bring my 20 years of expertise as a psychotherapist with a mix of trauma and attachment-informed somatic practices, mindset tools, house therapy (feng shui), presence, humility, humor, and intuition.

Think of me as your guide and mentor.  I hold the lantern as you unearth what you’ve been hiding from you in the dark: your worth, inner knowing, desires, wants, embodiment, and alive self. No matter if we work virtually or in person at a retreat, I’m in it with you!

”By changing your surroundings, you can place a hurdle in the way of bad behaviors and remove the barriers to good ones. I like to refer to this strategy as environmental design.” James Clear, author of Atomic Habits.

Your environment plays a crucial role in your well-being and success. House Therapy (Feng Shui) helps you create a home and land that supports your goals and aspirations. We'll work together to:

• Optimize the energy flow in your home

• Create a sanctuary that nurtures your soul

• Align your space with your intentions

• Manifest your dream home

Through intentional and purposeful decisions, this coaching will support you to create circumstances and consciousness within your environment for support and success personally and professionally.

The biggest factor in this relational process with our spaces is our own consciousness.

No matter how well-designed or beautiful your home may be, our personal ecosystem – awareness, beliefs, energy, and capacity –  affects what we’re co-creating with our environment.

This is not a quick fix. Deep transformation takes time and commitment.

I recommend a minimum of 12 months for somatic coaching and 3 months for House Therapy.

I can’t make you a Google Doc and tell you what to do.

This time we spend together, whether it’s 90 minutes or years, it’s time that will produce dramatic exponential results and will help you deepen your relationship with yourself but also will enable you to impact the community and relationships you have around you.

If your'e wondering where to begin, we can start with a 90 minute call.

During your coaching journey, you won’t believe how you’ve created the live and work you are leading and living until you are!

  I hold high standards for my integrity with this work, and I don’t work with everyone. I will make a recommendation or offer a resource for those who aren’t well matched for my skill set or offerings.

I coach all humans: women, men, trans, binary, non-binary, and a binary folk.

When we are a match for working together, I know you are ready for next-level radical upgrades in love, relationships, life, and/or impact.

You may have no idea what they are, or maybe you are crystal clear but don’t know how to get there or fix it.

You are ready for something bigger in your relationship(s) and life.

You may be thinking…who am I to want this?

Will people leave me if I’m happier or more successful?

Will I burn my life down if I go for my dreams?

Can I let love in safely and consciously without drama?

Can dramatically shift how I love, appreciate and respect the people I already have in my life?

Can I really have it all…success, impact, love, connection, and belonging?

Or you may even secretly think….maybe most people can have it, but it won’t happen for me.

What if I go for this, and I fail?

You may be here after scouring over my website and possibly Instagram, watching a few hundred of my lives.

You are thorough and make sure that when you invest there is integrity on both sides of the service and agreement.

You know that you’re ready to coach with me when you are willing to want more than you have or know is possible.

You also know you are ready to book in with me when you feel a Whole Bodied YES or f*ck YES.

If your YES isn’t strong and clear, we most likely aren’t a match.

If there were a simple to-do list, you would have already found it!

This work requires a willingness to explore your inner landscape and make deep, lasting changes. I'll be your guide and mentor, supporting you every step of the way.

There’s no google doc that I can give you in place of deep change work but if you’re willing to be open, after a time, our transformational somatic leadership and relationship coaching container and/or house therapy experience will feel like the to-do list that gets the results you’ve been searching for your whole life. 

If this was a matter of willpower, badassery, self-study, understanding thought-leadership, or getting it done, you would have already seen the results you seek through reading books, listening to podcasts, and you name it. 

You’re a complex person with many things you do well and kick ass at, but the places that are more challenging (relationships or unparalleled joy, etc.) may just seem off-limits.

Why? 

Because asking for help, allowing the help in, learning to trust yourself, and the faith that it will change is f*ing scary and vulnerable.  

There are no to-do lists, books, or podcasts that get you through this messy feeling. You might even think that nothing has worked for this stagnant part of your life, so why bother trying yet another thing?

Here’s what you need to know: 

I stand for you and all you are in your most aligned, embodied, and meaningful life, relationships, and work. 

Your deepest longings inform the internal process of the transformational relationship work we do together.

Think about it this way - you wouldn’t give a mentee or colleague, who has immense untapped potential Cliff’s Notes version of success. You know the value in your relationship and see them discover their untapped potential through tips and real-time support. 

This is me for you. 

I see your limitless potential, and I can help you extract that potential and release the wounds, beliefs, intergenerational patterns, and old ways that hold you back with immense support (including your ancestors if that feels right for you). This is the next level of epigenetic healing and transformation. This is what 20 years of expertise with gentleness and solid results bring to you in this transformational relationship coaching.

Your deep longings are signs that those things are meant for you. The key is to heal the intergenerational patterns, dissolving karma, and/or soul-level assignments that are blocking the way.

This process aligns you with the rest of your life and relationships as the epic human that you are.

Many clients have tried talk therapy, mindset work, and traditional coaching without lasting results.

My approach is different because it:

• Integrates the mind, body, and spirit

• Addresses intergenerational trauma

• Uses somatic practices to release emotional blocks

• Draws on wisdom traditions like the Taoist Cosmic Trilogy

• Provides intuitive guidance and support

Somatic coaching groups, house therapy coaching, programs, and retreats create the opportunity to deal with family patterns, as well as repeated relational patterns, and soul-level assignments.

It allows you to work out the dynamic you had with your mother/father/primary caregiver and sisterhood wounds beyond your 1:1 therapy because in a group you receive mirroring and support around the complexities of family/group/community dynamics. 

This is where most of your fear and hurt can live and, as a result, hold you back from giving and receiving healthy love, connection, belonging, thriving, and boundaries. 

In 1:1 work, we can work on your family dynamics, but as a coach, guide, and healer, I can’t represent your entire family. 

Many clients have tried talk therapy, mindset work, CBT, and traditional coaching without significant results in the area where they’re most frustrated.

They leave those transactions feeling like they have just listened to themselves talk for an hour, disconnected from their bodies and True Selves, and/or unclear about how to move forward in a clear way (let alone with energy and aliveness).

In my process, you’re invited into work that supports you to make contact with all of you, not just your thoughts or words. I bring my 20 + years of expertise as a licensed psychotherapist, somatic expert, NLP mindset coach, intuitive, and holistic guide. In these sessions, there’s an immense capacity for healing, growth, transformation, and transmutation.

Much of our deepest longings have a felt sense of physicality to them beyond words. 

Similarly, some of our deepest hurt or the stories that we tell ourselves or the fears that these stories are TRUE also live in a place in us beyond words and often have epigenetic roots. 

We may talk in this work, but we are communicating with the physical body, organs, cells, DNA, energy body, psyche, and soul, not just the ego alone.

I believe in you and don’t believe that anyone is broken or terminally unique.

When we seek radical aliveness, transformation, and conscious leadership and relationships, it is important to notice that healing is one aspect of the process. 

In wisdom traditions and cultures, it is the role of the wise woman, the sage, the healer, the witch, and the alchemist to support the healing process.  We can't heal in a vacuum. 

During your transformation process, my role is one of the coach. I am a witness, guide, and mirror for you in this space.  You are a self-led person who chooses this path of evolution beyond your wildest dreams.

Asking for help with relationships means you are leading yourself to the next step on your path. 

There is no one-size fits all approach that will integrate your healing and evolution through the messy middle en route to your aliveness and transformation.

In these contexts and in the context of being witnessed by others, it’s here that you will begin to build the capacity for the feelings you’re carrying and shift the vibration of your aliveness to meet life itself! 

You will know when to wait and how to build your momentum for your unshakeable desires and vision. You will trust you and your discernment and your YES and NO. Nothing will be off of the table.

My work invites you to step into your personal power. You become a No Matter What, rather than someone who only thrives through circumstantial power.

In my coaching containers, integrity is one of my highest values and offering coaching from this context creates potency.

Commitment: to you, your process and evolution is how transformation unfolds and integrates.

You can try. 

Just kidding. 

My guess is that when the going gets tough you quit (perhaps out of high reactivity) because you don’t want to move past the next step. This is a pattern you employ.

It’s uncomfortable and you walk away, burn it down, shut down, judge, tell white lies, or people please. 

Instead, I invite you to come in with the mindset that you’ll keep going even in the discomfort.

I have learned in working with thousands of clients in making profound change in their lives that the biggest somatic breakthroughs occur when you keep going even when you feel the overwhelming urge to quit.

Discomfort allows for growth - quitting and your old ways have kept you where you are - isn’t it time to stick with yourself in order to fully heal and alchemize your full potential?

For those only interested in psychotherapy,I stopped taking new psychotherapy clients in 2021 and closed my psychotherapy practice early in 2022 because my soul and internal guidance system pointed towards helping more people with a social impact model.  I was guided to work with people who want to use their being-ness, gifts, and privilege to create impact and ripple effects for the Collective.

I offer 1:1 coaching to adults of all genders, including those that identify as trans, non-binary and/or male. I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults who are navigating the complexity of their gender, familial, interpersonal, professional, social, and sexual identities.

”I met Amy when I was at my lowest. I was 2 days sober and living a life without direction or purpose. I kept telling myself that I had a pretty good life - good paying job, great partner, lots of travel - I just needed to kick this alcoholism thing.

Almost 5-years later, I can honestly say I don't recognize the man that walked into Amy's office. I learned that getting sober was the tip of the iceberg of what was possible. Getting to the genesis of why I became an addict in the first place was challenging to say the least. I learned the importance of vulnerability and the strength of speaking your truth.

There are so many things I have accomplished these last few years that I never thought possible. Amy came into my life unexpectedly --- a beacon of truth when I thought I already knew the truth. I now have the opportunity to pay it forward. I am a leader in my field, in a job I love. I know how placing value on those who think they are unworthy, can change the dynamic of someone's life. This is what Amy did for me, and what I will continue to do." -Global Leader (Testimonial)

PSYCHOTHERAPY RESOURCES for those only interested in engaging in Psychotherapy

For Black folks who are seeking psychotherapy, I recommend exploring The Loveland Foundation’s Resources for psychotherapy.

For women who are looking for reduced-fee psychotherapy or couples counseling in DC, I recommend The Women’s Center.

No matter who you are, I highly recommend working with a somatically trained psychotherapist. There are a number of models that are highly effective and do not rely on talk therapy: Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Deb Dana’s application/model of Polyvagal Theory.
