Somatic Coaching for Burnout Recovery & Life Transitions
I help people in burnout and life transitions return to clarity, presence, and themselves.
You Are Welcome Here
If you’re exhausted, anxious, stuck, or quietly falling apart while keeping it together on the outside, you’re in the right place. Somatic coaching for burnout recovery meets you exactly where you are. Emotional overwhelm, career transitions, identity shifts, relationship patterns… We start where you are, not where you think you should be.
I’ve lived across eight countries, led teams through crisis, rebuilt myself through burnout and addiction, and navigated the kind of identity transitions that don’t appear in any leadership manual. I know what it feels like when the structure of your life no longer fits who you’re becoming. It’s the reason I can sit with you through darkness and light without flinching, and why nothing you bring into this space will be too much.
What We Work On
People come to me during burnout recovery, career transitions, leadership recalibration, and all the moments where their old identity no longer fits the context. But this isn’t traditional performance or identity coaching.
Through somatic coaching, we work with your nervous system directly (not just your thoughts) because that’s where lasting change actually happens.
We work with your whole system toward integration:
- what your body is already telling you
- what emotions are asking to be felt
- what thoughts have been keeping you safe, and small
- and what becomes possible when all parts finally speak the same truth.
What to Expect
The work draws from somatic practice, energy work, trauma integration, and the belief that the body is the most honest map we have.
A Safe & Brave Space
- Safe enough for the real stuff. Brave enough to move it. Nothing you bring will be too much.
Rigorous & Educated Practice
- Ancient wisdom, modern methodology. Somatic coaching methods that work with your mind, body, and nervous system, drawn from trauma-informed training and 14+ years of practice.
Fully Adapted to You
- No predetermined curriculum. Every session is led by what’s alive for you that day.
Presence & Challenge
- You won’t be pushed faster than you’re ready. But you will be gently invited beyond what’s blocking you.
What Clients Actually Say
From recent session feedback:
The meditations and breathwork were very on point. You were always leading me with questions that let me see connections I hadn’t seen before, opening up things in me I had forgotten existed.
Gulnur Sevinc, Founder, Mimi Design
I felt seen and heard and safely held, allowing me to see my situation more visually than I ever have before.
Janine Isaacs, Medical Negligence Solicitor
She knows just when to ask questions, when to challenge, and when to stay silent. She uncovered issues I didn’t realise I had and helped me remove the blockers. Skillful, empathetic, and very professional.
Debbie, Marketing Director, THIS! is not meat
You helped me by modelling a calm I could mirror. You kept me on track in a gentle but firm way, and didn’t let me shy away from things.
C., Business Owner, Little Fish
Gaia operates from a very special place of being, from which she creates a space that feels safe, attuned and nourishing for self-enquiry. The impact was clear: because I was allowed to feel, name and integrate, I felt lighter.

How We’ll Work Together
Step 1: A Chat First
- 30 minutes, no agenda, no pressure. We talk about where you are, what’s shifting, and whether this feels like the right fit, for both of us.
Step 2: Sessions
- 90 minutes, online or in person, at a pace that suits your life (weekly, biweekly, or monthly). Every session is led by what’s alive for you, not a predetermined curriculum.
Step 3: Support
- Notes, reflection prompts, somatic exercises, and direct email access keep the work moving between our time together.
Step 4: Integration
- Every package ends with a clear picture of how far you’ve come and tools that carry you forward from here.

FAQs
What is somatic coaching for burnout recovery?
Somatic coaching for burnout recovery works with your body (not just your mind) to help you return to regulation, clarity, and yourself after exhaustion, overwhelm, trauma, or a major life transition. Rather than talking about what’s wrong, we work directly with what your nervous system is holding.
What payment methods do you accept?
Somatic coaching is for people navigating burnout recovery, career transitions, identity shifts, or any moment where the old way of living no longer fits. Leaders, founders, and individuals who sense something needs to change, even if they can’t yet name what.
How is somatic coaching different from therapy?
Therapy is valuable and often looks at the past. Somatic coaching works with what’s alive in your body right now, using physical sensation, breath, and awareness as a map toward integration and forward movement. It’s practical, present-focused, and adapted to you.
Do you provide support?
Not at all. Most people arrive not quite knowing what they need, just that something has to shift. The first conversation is simply that: a conversation.
Where are sessions held? In what languages?
Sessions are available online or in person if you’re in Heidelberg. I work in English and Italian.
How long until I notice a difference?
Most clients notice a shift in the first session. The deeper structural change (the lasting recalibration) builds over time with consistent work.
