Offering a soft and cushioned landing, welcoming young students into a deeper sense of self.
What if students didn’t have to carry it all alone? In this blog, Annie shares how somatic coaching offers young adults a softer, more supportive way to connect with themselves, find belonging, and gently explore who they are—beyond expectations and performance.
