Somatic Life Coaching with Arlyn Alderdice
Life is Better with a Life Coach...
Access Your Body Wisdom, Inner Presence, & Aligned Clarity
A life that matches your dreams for yourself; a life that begins to have room for the question - "what expression is wanted through me?"
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.
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, access Self-Trust, 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?
I work with people who know something needs to change but keep running into themselves. Your resistance isn't the problem, it genuinely is holding necessary information for the path forward. I love helping uncover and gently holding what is under the struggle. Together, we get curious about it, and then things move.
Ways that my coaching can support: The business you've been avoiding that you suddenly, genuinely love. Finding creativity again after the deep grief of caring for a parent with dementia. The body you have dragged around and finally learn to care for and experience pleasure through. Finally clearing your home of clutter. Getting into a sleep cycle that supports the body. Unwinding an overloaded nervous system . . . and more. . .
Curious to explore coaching?
The first step is listening beyond the words to your body wisdom, and your inner knowing… does this feel like a fit for you?
If there's a spark of curiosity... let's follow it!

What does coaching look like?
In our coaching sessions, I help you listen to what lies beneath the surface. Together we will hold tune into the body's wisdom and integrate the fears, doubts and past hurts holding you back. I will hold the vision of clarity, while we listen, honor, and integrate 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?
