Begin your alignment journey
Somatic Coaching for start up founders, entrepreneurs and social and changers.
1-2-1 Somatic Coaching
Begin a journey where you are hustling less and seeking alignment. My role is to be a guide by your side on your journey to alignment.
The path we will take together is not linear. We’ll twist and turn as you learn to move at the pace of your body. We have no idea what awaits us as a result of this journey. What I can promise you as my client, is our work together will support you to create a better relationship with rest and sustainability.
My somatic coaching approach focuses on encouraging you to listen to and be curious about what your body is communicating.
During life transitions you may find that you get ‘stuck in your head.’ Being able to increase your awareness of your body, can create new opportunities for you. I will create a space where you feel held to process what new pathways are being unlocked, connect with topics in an authentic way and allow space for creativity.

How it Works
Alignment Call:
We start with an Alignment Call (30 minutes) to explore if we're a good match for working together. You'll have the opportunity to share your life aspirations and experience a coaching session with me.
First Session:
In Session Number 1, we'll work on clarifying your coaching goals and intentions. Together, we'll complete an alignment canvas, delving into questions such as:
What are your coaching expectations?
What does your body say you need to be truly aligned?
We'll define your objectives, establish a strong coaching container and set clear expectations.
Subsequent Sessions:
Each following session will revolve around a specific topic or focus from your canvas. For example, you might choose to explore your body's response to stress, or work on aligning your business with your values. Giving a name to these topics enhances clarity and grounding as you connect with your body. If this new to you, don’t worry, as I will be guiding you along the way.
During Each Session:
Throughout each session, we will craft alignment actions, which may involve internal or external steps. These actions can range from gentle, introspective work or more exteroceptive actions.
Ongoing Support and benefits
By investing in Align, don’t hustle Coaching, you’ll benefit from personalised 1-2-1 support throughout your journey via email or WhatsApp. You will have access to your own coaching portal for all session notes, recommended reading, practices and blogs.
Your coaching experience
Each person and situation are completely unique, yet there are several themes that often surface in my coaching sessions that clients want to explore.
Here are some sample enquirers clients arrive at coaching with:
How can I find time to do the work and make space for creativity?
What could be possible for me if I learn embodiment practices to regulate my nervous system?
How can I create rituals for aligned living?
What impact is hustle culture having on my body?
How might I live and work cyclically?
How can I earn more money, and do less?
How can I create regular periods of rest in my work when I am so busy?
How can I do a job I love without burning out?
How can I lean into what I am feeling before responding.
What My Clients Say
-
Having Imani as a coach is something that brought me benefits beyond what I could have imagined. She helped me identify some patterns of behaviors that were not serving me and supported me in creating/integrating practices into my life that have helped me a lot professionally and personally. Her coaching style, which is a lot focused on leading with questions that invite us to reflect deeper on what's already with us, is very focused on our real needs and challenges, which worked beautifully for me. I really liked the somatic coaching tools she used with me, constellation being one of them, because it takes into account what our body is telling us, as well as our mind. I loved being coached by someone who recognises the importance of this balance and the role it plays in our decisions and experiences. Working with Imani will help you find clarity and direction in your professional and personal life, all with great care and holistic support.

Choosing to start coaching with Imani is one of the best decisions I have made for me and my company. Imani held space for me as a busy entrepreneur who feels frazzled more often than not; I had lost myself in my business and Imani helped me prioritise myself, but most of all my wellbeing, all without compromising growth. Imani showed me the light and now I feel confident, self-assured and motivated to look after myself and my business equally. I now believe in myself as a CEO who is going to grow and scale her business successfully in a way that works for me.

Working with Imani over the last 3 months has helped me to zoom out, slow down and reflect on the bigger picture. The way that Imani has supported me to figure out what I truly want, and how I want to get there is gentle and kind whilst still offering accountability between calls. Looking at the worksheets I filled in at the start and end of our journey is quite emotional! I feel more in tune with myself, my needs, my goals, and how my work and personal life can be more balanced. I am really excited about the next stages of development within my business. They still feel a little big and scary, but I am confident that I can sit with these thoughts and feelings and not let them get in the way. I now know that I can work with them and this shift in my mindset is a direct impact of the coaching.
