Today we’d like to introduce you to Rachel Friedman.
Rachel, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Five years ago I stumbled upon a podcast and after binging on it, I realized this was it. This was what I am meant to be doing. It was a podcast on life coaching. I had just recently sold my yoga studio and was exploring what was next. After listening to the podcast, I realized do much of what they were talking about was similar to yoga philosophy and psychology. The two things I knew best. Having been a student and teacher of yoga for over a decade and psychotherapist coaching seemed like a perfect blend. Days later, launched my coaching business.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
It has been a bit of a roller coaster. Lots of highs and lows. As I believe all of the entrepreneurship is. I always say if you want to learn a lot about yourself become an entrepreneur. Some of the biggest struggles are just getting your name out there and helping people truly understand what you do and why is so valuable to them.
We’ve been impressed with Somatic Coach School, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
The Somatic Coach School brings mind-body healing to people everywhere. The School’s two programs, Calm AF & the Somatic Coach Certification, integrate the most cutting-edge tools and techniques in the industry to help people make what they once believed was impossible POSSIBLE.
Soma meaning “body”. This is a bottoms-up approach. Most traditional healing modalities are a top-down approach. We go through the body and uncover what is unknown and hidden and bring it forward to create healing. We don’t believe you are broken or need to be “fixed.” But instead that everything you need lives from within you. You are your own medicine.
I am most proud of the results are clients have been able to achieve. Clients who have been able to change their relationships with themselves change their relationship with anxiety, stress, and overwhelm. As well as the number of clients who have come through our door and created their own wildly successful businesses.
I want everyone to know that you are not “broken” and there is nothing about you that needs fixing. That there are just parts of us that need emotional integration.
What matters most to you?
That all people are seen as “whole” that everyone should have access to nervous system regulation tools. Because these tools not only affects us mentally and emotionally but also affect us physically and socially. That when everyone stops living from a place of fight or flight, society will become a much easier place to live.
