As coaches, we help our clients get unstuck from habitual ways of thinking about themselves, their possibilities, their strengths and weaknesses, and their paths. We strive to provide a safe environment and tools for clients to explore themselves, interact more effectively with others, and develop strategies to navigate the world of life (including work) with authenticity and discernment. Understanding how to tap into the body, a highly underused resource, can have a remarkable effect on our client's ability to meet challenges and take action.
In Get Physical! Expand Your Coaching with Somatic Strategies, Judith (Judy) Garfinkel offers an interactive presentation incorporating techniques to enhance your clients' journey by welcoming their bodies (and yours) into it. Participants are invited to learn and experience body-oriented activities drawn from educational kinesiology, embodiment and mindfulness practices, trauma-informed coaching, and movement theory to apply in their work with clients.
In this workshop, you will:
- Come away understanding why somatic (body-oriented) approaches in coaching matter to us and our clients.
- Learn how to introduce somatics into the session including language to use and how to prep clients for somatic-based exercises.
- Gain specific techniques and exercises to shift clients' perspective, body state, and problem-solving potential.

Recently, she completed certification as a Trauma-Informed Coach and is training for Whole Person Coaching certification and her PCC. Judy is a Past President of ICF-CT, a career consultant with REA Careers and when all the stars align, she performs with Heidi Latsky Dance Company - a physically inclusive dance company.
