About Carol Brown,
Somatic Coach
Welcome! You’ve arrived here because you are looking for something different. And what lights me up is connecting with people and supporting them to live their best lives. I love being in the presence of people who are sharing their light with the world around them. And I look forward to walking alongside you as together we reconnect you with your body’s wisdom.
I’ve never felt at home in the ways our culture praises speed, decisiveness, disconnection, and productivity. Instead, I naturally gravitate towards slowness, thoughtful deliberation, and organic, evolving processes. I find that when I am moving fast, I miss out on the cues around me; cues from my body, gut, and the world around me that are directing me toward a calmer and more beneficial way of being. Maybe you’ve noticed this too?
I was introduced to somatic bodywork coaching with Maria Connelly in 2020 and have benefited greatly from how it has reconnected me to my center and internal wisdom. I am grateful every day for the feelings of presence, mindfulness, and calm that it has brought me. I was so moved by the process that I became a Somatic Coach in 2021. I am thankful that I can bring both my personal experiences and these learnings to help others get in touch.
As a Somatic Coach, I focus on listening to you and your body, to help you illuminate your inner wisdom. Through the lens of Dr. Leticia Neito’s work of Beyond Inclusion, Beyond Empowerment, I bring an understanding of power dynamics and equity focus to my work - realizing that the active systems of oppression in our culture have a real effect on our ability to reconnect with our bodies. I act as a partner in your unfolding process, holding the space and bringing exercises in to help you reconnect with your inner knowledge. I SEE YOU.
I am a white, queer, cisgender woman. I am fluent in ASL and have worked in the not-for-profit field my entire career. I live in Seattle, WA on the lands of the Duwamish and the Coast Salish peoples.
