What people are saying:

  • "Working with Josephine has been a transformative experience, opening me up to more beauty, creativity, and expression both within myself and in the way I show up in the world. Through her coaching, I’ve felt a deeper sense of joy and vitality, moving past blocks that once held me back and learning to flourish in ways I never imagined. One of the most impactful moments for me was when she noticed I was collapsing into old patterns and gently encouraged me to bring dance into my daily life. Tracking this practice with her guidance helped me reconnect with my body and emotions in such a profound way - it became a source of freedom, expression and a daily dose of joy that I continue to start my day with every day. Her ability to recognize exactly what would support me at the right time was remarkable, and her soft accountability made progress feel effortless. We outlined clear goals at the start, and by the end of our time together, I realized we had moved toward all of them. One of my goals was to engage more socially, without relying on alcohol, and she supported me in doing just that. It felt almost magical how we achieved these goals with such ease - they just kind of flowed! It wasn’t until I reflected back that I realised how much we could celebrate in terms of checking off the goals I had to begin with and I had quite a few! Her work is truly life-changing."

  • "Living and working in big cities my whole life, I never took the time to slow down and manage those everyday little stressors of city life that can really build up over time. Coaching with Josephine has been really valuable for me because she taught me the tools I didn't know I was missing to help build a better mind-body connection. I now incorporate breathwork and calming practices into my regular routine as I would anything else to help my mind or body, like reading or physical exercise. I know that regulating your nervous system, at least for me, has been really key to helping me unlock my creativity and just helping me be more mindful of my own needs. I would recommend Josephine to anyone even if you think it isn't something that you need – I didn’t think it was something that I needed, but it’s definitely been very beneficial!

  • "Working with Josephine has been the breath in my creativity. I’ve been stuck & getting in my own way but I couldn’t see that until I worked through that process with her. She has a powerful ear to listen to the rumblings of what is true and good trying to emerge from within me. She could see my passion and drive. And with her, I felt safe to feel what was stopping me. Now, I feel I can take action and continue to build on that. I knew I was up to something profound but Josephine allowed the space for my longings to come forward. She’s warm and welcoming and encouraging. Whatever you’re up to will be improved through working with Josephine."

  • "My work with Josephine has been invaluable to me as I have been working towards expanding my capacities and growing outside of my comfort zone. Her attunement, warmth, curiosity, and skills in deepening into embodiment allow me to explore the parts of myself that have kept me stuck and try on more expansive ways of being. I’ve seen myself be able to show up in my life more fully and courageously from the insights I’ve gained in the somatic process. The work is incredibly encouraging and rewarding, and I would recommend to anyone with the desire to grow into deeper relationship with themselves!"

  • Somatics comes from the Greek word soma, meaning “the living body in its wholeness.” It refers to the study and practice of understanding the body as an integrated, sentient experience rather than just a physical structure. The body is viewed as more than a collection of bones, muscles and systems – we see it as a dynamic and interconnected living system that holds emotions, memories and patterns of behavior.

    Somatics takes a holistic approach to personal development that integrates the mind, body, and emotions. This method goes beyond traditional talk-based coaching by encouraging embodied practices such as breathwork, mindful movement and grounding techniques. We begin from the place that the mind are interconnected, focusing on understanding how emotions and life experiences are stored and expressed in the body. This practice emphasizes the role of physical sensation and movement in shaping our thoughts, behaviors and overall well-being.

    The body is seen as a key resource for insight and change; it is a source of intelligence and self-awareness. By paying attention to bodily sensations, movement and posture, somatics provides insights into how we experience and interact with the world. I’ll guide you to explore bodily sensations, postures and patterns of movement to uncover unconscious habits and emotional blocks. By tuning into the physical body, you can access deeper levels of self-awareness and unlock new possibilities for growth. Somatic practices help release tension, regulate emotions, and cultivate a sense of presence and agency in your life.

  • Polyvagal-informed coaching focuses on helping you work with your nervous system to move out of stress-driven responses and into states of connection, calm and clarity. With training from the Polyvagal Institute, I use insights from polyvagal theory to help you understand how your body’s automatic responses shape your thoughts, emotions and behaviors.

    Your nervous system constantly scans your environment, your body and your relationships for cues of safety or danger – without your conscious awareness. These assessments influence your physiological state, which becomes the foundation for patterns like stress, overwhelm or unhelpful habits. Polyvagal-informed coaching works with this system, helping you understand how these patterns emerge and guiding you toward healthier ways of responding.

  • Josephine is a certified somatic coach, and a cultural anthropologist and journalist by training. She earned her Master’s in social and cultural anthropology from UCL, following two months of ethnographic research into Ayahuasca tourism, in the Ecuadorian Andes, and has since lived nomadically in the Americas. Formerly a Londoner, her professional background in travel and lifestyle journalism has seen her review wellness retreats, trends and hotels in Europe.

    As a journalist, she’s babbled at trees and submerged herself in ice for Telegraph Travel, taken in a CO2 bath in the Czech Republic to report on age-old spa traditions for ABTA Magazine, spent the night in an Italian 11th century chapel for Culture Trip, and covered Ukrainian Fashion Week for an independent fashion magazine. As a digital nomad, she’s led editorial teams for travel tech startups, powered by blockchain and AI, commissioning and shaping content and core brand identities.

    Within the somatics, embodiment and psychedelic integration spaces, Josephine has undertaken trainings with The Embody Lab, The Polyvagal Institute and Chacruna Institute. Her somatics and polyvagal teachers include Dr. Scott Lyons, Dr. Stephen Porges, Staci Haines and Manuela Mischke-Reeds, while she has studied psychedelic facilitation and integration training with the likes of Simone Weit, Adam Aronovich and Licia Sky of the Trauma Research Foundation.

  • Anthropology taught me how to ask meaningful questions, consider ethics, and engage fully with the complexities of human behavior and belief systems. These skills are integral to my coaching practice. Central to social and cultural anthropology is ethnographic research – immersive fieldwork to study the dynamics of an environment through participation. My training in this method enables me to cultivate a heightened sense of presence and listening, and attunement to both verbal and nonverbal communication.
