Somatic coaching for women in the messy middle — who are done abandoning themselves and ready to feel alive again
Career change · Matrescence · Midlife
Does any of this sound like you?
You hold everything together for everyone else… but feel disconnected from yourself
You're in the middle of something big — a new baby, a career shift, a midlife stirring — and you can't quite see clearly from inside it
You feel stretched thin — flat at work, overwhelmed at home, unsure where your spark went
You're the carer, the organiser, the reliable one… and you're tired
You've been trying to think your way through it for months and you keep going around in circles
Through somatic coaching we stop trying to think our way through it and start listening to what your body already knows. Because this kind of change doesn't live in your head — it lives in your body.

About me
For years, I played the role of the capable woman - a full time job at Google, raising two young daughters, keeping everything moving, holding the threads.
At some point I realised I was carrying too much but I couldn’t figure out a different way of being. In the end my body communicated loudly and I didn’t have a choice but to slow down, learn to listen to my intuition and make some changes.
Through somatic work and gently unravelling the patterns of overdoing and over giving, I found my way back to a life that feels more grounded and creatively alive.
Now I walk alongside those who feel overwhelmed, flat, or disconnected — helping them soften, slow down, and reconnect with their clarity, confidence, and creative spark. My work blends science with softness, structure with intuition, safety with expansion — a space where you can be held, seen, and guided back to yourself.
I’m fuelled by long conversations, cycling across East London, dancing in the kitchen, singing with my daughters, and getting lost in new places.

Come Back to Yourself - 1:1 Somatic Coaching Container
A 3-6 month coaching journey for women navigating new motherhood, career change or midlife — who are stretched thin, tired of carrying it all, and ready to find their way back to themselves.
Together we go beneath the surface — the emotions that haven't had space to be felt, the beliefs quietly running the show, the body that's been overridden for years. Through somatic awareness, nervous system work and grounded coaching, you'll slowly rebuild your relationship with your own instincts, creativity and aliveness.
By the end of our four months you'll feel more settled in yourself, more trusting of your own judgment, and genuinely lit up by your life again — moving at a rhythm that nourishes you rather than drains you.

Client Love
“I'm so glad to have worked with Anouk, she's brilliant! She creates a grounding, calm and creative environment that combines deep explorations with concrete takeaways that brought about real changes in my day to day. Her unique approach that incorporates embodied practices supported me to move through some painful and scary territories, with a clarity that I'm hugely grateful for.”
— Friede, Strategy Manager
“Working with Anouk has been fantastic for me both personally and professionally. When we started I felt a bit lost and flat, but after just 6 sessions I have a renewed energy. I feel confident and in control of the decisions I’m making - all whilst being unapologetically me - and my colleagues have noticed it too. I feel so proud that all the work we did together has been recognised so quickly by those around me, and that’s all thanks to Anouk.”
— Rachel, Design Principal
"Working with Anouk was truly wonderful, she has a very calming energy and genuinely listens to you. She has a wonderful ability of taking in everything you say and helping articulate it back to you in a way that helps you realise things, I always found Anouk helped me untangle my thoughts into something coherent and actionable! I've felt more self aware and confident in work as a result of our time together."
— Natasha, Head of People
