Mindfully choose how you respond, even in the most challenging moments.
Personalized coaching to help you break free from stubborn patterns that live deep in your body.
Old patterns holding you back?
People-pleasing tendencies leave you with your needs unspoken or unmet.
Defensive reactions to criticism turn discussions into arguments.
Escapist behaviors when stressed like emotional eating or substance misuse.
These patterns are not your fault. Your body learned to react instinctively because it protected you at one time.
But now, you deserve to be free from them.
Break free with Body Wisdom Coaching.
Hey, I’m Zach!
I can help you break free from stubborn patterns, that get in the way of living a life that actually meets your needs.
Trust me, I’ve been there.
For nearly a decade, I analyzed myself to bits in talk therapy. But I was stuck in the same pattern — chronically burnt out “saving the world.” I was self-righteous, exhausted, and resentful about it, a real martyr. I wasn’t showing up fully as a friend, family member, or romantic partner, which added to the negative self-judgment.
Then I found somatics — and it all started to shift. Within just a year of rigorous embodiment work, I had left an over-demanding workplace, and I was asking for what I needed in important relationships. I was more playful, mindful, and self-loving. My oldest friends say “they feel like they have their old friend back.”
Somatics and The Repatterning Process transformed my life. And it can work for you too.
Benefits: what you’ll do skillfully & intuitively
Set Dignified Boundaries

-
So that you’ll get what you need in your relationships, or take action to get your needs met elsewhere.
Pursue Goals with Balance
-
With a “centered extension practice,” build self-awareness for when you are being passive (under-extended) or aggressive (over-extended).
-
So you can take action towards your goals in a sustainable way, without overdoing it (burn out) or giving up (collapse).
