Body and Emotional Skills Coaching

  • Coaching for recognizing and expressing boundaries
  • Coaching for expressing and managing anger
  • Coaching for discovering joy in life and creativity
  • Safe emotional connection for those suffering from fear
  • Confidence coaching, recognizing harmful patterns in one’s personality
  • Skills for presence, encountering others, and listening to oneself and others

I offer presence and supported encounters.

Coaching can mean an opportunity to get excited, to feel difficult emotions, or simply to explore: What is your being opening up to?

This is an opportunity to listen to yourself and come into deeper contact with your own experiences.

Embodied Coaching and Emotional Skills

Welcome to meetings in Nekala, Tampere. I also offer sessions via Zoom and other communication channels.

I offer coaching for various turning points in life:

  • Coaching for present body and emotional skills
  • Coaching for finding deeper contact with life
  • Life skills and career coaching
  • Present interaction work: Inquiry

In coaching, I provide space for you to express and experience your feelings in different ways. When appropriate, I may suggest exercises that support you in encountering yourself and your experiences.

“You supported me in exactly the right way”

With you, I’ve experienced what it’s like to be held and seen by another person. You stayed clear and trusted that my being knew where this was going.

Clearly, you’re good at trusting yourself, and that shows in your practice. (1/3, to be continued… )

Executive coach, psychologist

“With you, I felt the safest connection I’ve ever experienced with anyone”

That I could bring anything up, and it would always be okay. And it’s truly amazing that I can trust that. No need to worry in advance, just live through whatever is present. I was able to express myself, and you didn’t flinch.

It is particularly special that you come to connection as yourself, openly and safely. Many people know how to give space and support to another. Few openly bring themselves into that space as well.

“I was impressed by your ability to let go.”

I imagine it’s challenging when the coach’s role is not to actively do anything. Not to offer perspectives, although that’s valuable too.

You gave space to what was important to me, which was setting boundaries. You managed to create space, be present, and provide support. (2/3)
Pekka
Executive coach, psychologist

“It was so valuable when you said everything is welcome here, there’s space for all of this. No one has ever said that to me before.”

I found a new part of myself, a part that was uncompromising in a good way. That part of me needs support but isn’t yet ready to accept it, so it was important to practice that. (3/3)
Pekka
Executive coach, psychologist

“It was wonderful to be here. The atmosphere was warm, you were actively participating with a sense of purpose.”

You guided the process forward, and it opened up. The chair exercise you suggested worked perfectly for my situation. You brought my attention back to the body when I was getting too caught up in my head, and it felt like I could accept the support.
Johanna, 38 years

“Your support helped me understand and allow myself what I needed

…even though there were many thoughts about everyday matters on the surface. The fact that you provided multiple opportunities to listen to myself and gently guided the situation gave me security and trust that it was truly safe for me to be with you, with all my anxious parts. (1/2)
Maria, 37 years

“Your reminder to breathe felt especially important”

– it was exactly what my body needed at that moment. It was really wonderful that you could say something so supportive of my body processes without being asked. You gently guided the situation and created a sense of safety. (2/2)
Maria, 37 years

“Your presence invites the heart to open”

…and that feels important and valuable, beautiful and innocent. I recently realized that you are truly the kind of person with whom I can be open and vulnerable. Just being, with innocence.
Woman, 26 years

“You served as an excellent maintainer of a safe space.”

Your authenticity created an equal experience in the inquiry practices, and through you, I learned new ways of self-expression. Your communication style was warm and pleasant, which supported the nature of the practices. The breathing exercises you shared enhanced my body connection during the inquiry sessions. Your reflections on my shares were invaluable and exactly what I needed.
Olli, 32 years

“What I want is more flexibility and ease, which such an encounter brings.”

And I want more of this. At the same time, I’m afraid to invite more of it and really make room for it. Still, I find it incredibly calming. It really helps me… it really helps relax my body.
Man, 50 years

“You communicate from a place that is authentic”

and yet also from a vulnerable place, clearly and with truthfulness.
Woman, 37 years

“There is openness here. There is space to view every moment as new.”

…it’s not just that it was one way and now it’s another. I’ve needed that.
Woman, 36 years

Independent Present Work: Inquiry

Do you want to move from coaching to a more independent working method? Inquiry allows you to encounter yourself supported by another person, yet independently and equally. Through practice, inquiry can become a way for you to reflect with presence and meet yourself in everyday life. More about inquiry
