Somatic Life Coaching with Arlyn Alderdice
Life is Better with a Life Coach...
Access Your Body Wisdom, Inner Presence, & Aligned Clarity
You have an inner voice that knows your answers.
But maybe you have another voice? It says something like:
"Stay small, stay safe, stay quiet"
You know that pattern? It shows up like...
- Wasting energy fighting with yourself
- Distracting yourself from pursuing your real desires
- Stuck in fear & can't take action
- Fuzzy and unclear… Not even sure what you want!
- Overwhelmed with everyone else’s demands, rather than tending your own needs
- Slightly amped up all the time… like there’s a constant buzz that you can’t quiet
- Longing for something new, and unsure how to get it
- Being unsure of where your boundaries are, until you snap
Ahh… our familiar friend Self-sabotage.
Let’s undo the cycle of self-sabotage by bringing all of you into awareness.
Most of the time, when you find yourself in inner conflict and the voices of self-sabotage are running the show, it usually means…
There’s a part of you that wants one thing, and a part of you that wants something else.
And you’re not sure how to have it both ways.
There is a way to witness and hold all of it.
I call it moving from Presence or Wholeness.
(Internal Family Systems, IFS, calls it Self.)
In coaching, we'll help you bring your awareness into your Wholeness, where you can see the bigger picture of what's happening.
From Wholeness, you have more choice about how to respond. You can tend to ALL of your needs, with compassion, and know the way forward.
You can reconnect with your Wholeness, your own Presence, and learn to trust your Self.
My coaching helps guide you to tune into your body, reclaim your power, strengthen your healthy Self-Leadership, and realign with the still, calm, clear voice inside that knows exactly what to do.
What would it be like to move from your Wholeness, more of the time?
"In just a few short months of working with Arlyn, I have experienced what I can only describe as exponential internal growth. Arlyn’s kind and unique insight, her attention to the not so obvious, lends to her overall spirit and excellence as a life coach. I am blessed our paths have crossed. She is indeed exceptional.”

What does coaching look like?
In our coaching sessions, I will hold the vision of clarity, while I guide you through listening, honoring, and integrating all of the parts of you that have been in inner conflict.
Yes, we'll talk. We'll also offer attention to the body and the parts of you that need attention. It looks different ways different days.
I will bring my presence and deep listening to everything that comes up. What if it's okay if big feelings are present? There’s room for fear, shame, grief, anger to be heard. All while holding the field of your bigger wisdom and knowing.
Right now, what would be different if you could relax into being deeply held?

In coaching, I’ll guide you how to listen deeply to what’s underneath the words. Together, we’ll listen to the wisdom of the body, and help you connect with your authentic Presence, the part of you that knows.
We’ll listen to the voices of doubt, fear, confusion… or whatever else might be there, so you don’t sweep it under the rug. Those voices need to be heard, honored and integrated so they’re not unconsciously hijacking your life.
And we’ll also listen for the voice of truth, wisdom, power and clarity. And from your genuine source of okay-ness, you’ll find your truest way forward.
I will bring my presence and deep listening to everything that comes up. What if it's okay if big feelings are present? There’s room for fear, shame, grief, anger to be heard. All while holding the field of your bigger wisdom and knowing.
Ultimately, I will guide YOU to be able to hold YOU. So even between sessions, and long after our time together, you will have the resources to meet your life with more compassion, awareness, and resources.
It’s natural that there may be uncertainty or fear when trying something new. Letting someone in and asking for support is a big step that many people are conditioned against.
As with everything, you can practice holding the fear right now - listen to it, honor it. Invite it to be held.
Now, if you're willing, have a breath. . . slow down. . . invite your embodied wisdom to be known.
Hold your fear, but also invite it to soften for a moment so you can hear Wisdom. What do you notice?
What if it’s not about achieving things to make you happy…
What if instead it’s about finding your deep source of okay-ness, the peace that was never lost, and discovering what you truly want from there.
