WHOLE SELF: a 6-week online group coaching :: Internal Family Systems-informed

There are sometimes parts within us that don’t feel good: anxious parts, timid parts, fearful parts, angry parts, parts that want to hide, parts that struggle to state what you want…

And in other corners of ourselves, parts can get upset about those parts. They say things like, ‘why are you so broken? Why can’t you just live life fully? We’re missing out!’

And a battle can ensue. Tension.

Plus all the original pain of whatever you’re dealing with.

There is a way to bring all these parts together into harmony AND find your power — to get your SELF into the CEO seat of your life and get momentum.

To embody this Self means coming home to your wholeness, power and ease.

This is the work of Internal Family Systems (IFS), guided by mindful-somatics.

In this 6-part group coaching series, WHOLE SELF invites you to connect with the parts of yourself that hold pain, fear, negative self-talk, or disconnection, and gently integrate them into a harmonious whole. Together, in a group of 6-9 participants, we’ll explore how your body and (sub-conscious) mind work together to create a sense of balance, healing, and inner wholeness.

IN THIS GROUP COACHING SERIES, YOU CAN:

•  Break free from overthinking, avoidance and patterns that keep you stuck.
• Feel less anxious, overwhelmed or taken over when difficult emotions arise.
• Turn self-criticism into greater self-understanding and compassion.
• Experience less inner conflict and more self-trust, clarity and confidence in your decisions.
• Feel more grounded and at home in your body.
• Move forward with what matters to you, rather than being held back by fear or self-doubt.
• Learn practical tools to work with yourself that you can use long after the programme ends.

HOW IT WORKS:

We meet live on Zoom, once a week for six 2-hour sessions (groups are small: 8–12 people).

Each session includes:

• Guided somatic practices
• IFS-informed parts work
• Nervous system pyschoeducation and practice
• Partnered or small group processes
• Integration tools to support you between sessions
• Optional check-ins and support from the group & me
• Recordings of teaching (not group work)

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Whether you’re feeling stuck in inner conflict, overwhelmed by emotions, or disconnected from your self, WHOLE SELF is designed to meet you where you’re at and support your journey toward harmony and wholeness.

We welcome anyone who is navigating challenges such as:

• Battling inner self-criticism or negative self-talk

• Longing to live authentically without being held back by insecurities or people pleasing tendencies
• Wanting to feel more love and compassion for yourself
• Seeking resilience to handle life’s challenges with calm and confidence
• Wanting to get out of repetitive patterns or the "Groundhog Day" of daily life

This trauma-informed, somatic, and Internal Family Systems-informed workshop is for you if you’re ready to break free from the cycles that keep you stuck, integrate your inner parts into a harmonious whole, and cultivate a life that feels more aligned, joyful, and authentic.
