Are you ready to let go of people pleasing and feel more creatively alive, confident and embodied?
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 — working motherhood, a career shift, a midlife stirring — and you’re feeling stuck
You feel stretched thin — flat at work, overwhelmed at home, unable to set boundaries, unsure where your spark went
You're the carer, the organiser, the reliable one… and it’s exhausting
Your confidence has dimmed and you're not sure how to get it back
Through somatic coaching we stop trying to think our way through it and start listening to what your body already knows — rebuilding your confidence and self-trust from the inside out.

About me
Hi! I’m Anouk and I’m a somatic coach based in London.
I came to this work after years - probably decades - of overriding my body, people pleasing and running on adrenaline.
My body eventually said enough and I learned to slow down and reconnect with my body’s inner knowings and sensations. 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 disconnected or stuck — helping them soften, slow down, and reconnect with their body’s wisdom, inner power 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.

Embodied Confidence
A 4 month 1:1 coaching journey for cultivating confidence from the inside out.
For women navigating new (working) motherhood, career change or midlife — who are stretched thin, tired of carrying it all, and ready to find their way back to themselves.
Welcome to Embodied Confidence - a 4-month 1:1 coaching programme designed for exhausted women who are done abandoning their needs, shrinking their voice, and shelving their dreams.
Across four months, we’ll gently unwind the patterns that keep you stuck and rise into a version of yourself who feels alive again, creatively switched on, and ready to take bold, aligned action.
I’m opening up spots for private coaching to live your most creative life without the overwhelm and unhelpful inner chatter.

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.

— 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
