Embodied Confidence
A 4 month personalised journey helping you soften pressure and over-giving to access more aliveness, creativity and ease
꩜ Your body is the way home to yourself ꩜
Strategising, keeping busy and staying small have worked for you for a long time. But the tension and pressure are building and you're craving more ease, more aliveness and more playfulness.
You have dreams and projects you’d like to bring into the world but you’re feeling flat and find yourself spiralling often. Your body feels stiff, your jaw is tight and you’re finding it hard to ‘flow with life’.
Over the next 4 months, we will create a trusting and safe space so you can soften the pressure, reconnect with what lights you up and move forward with softness, ease and inner knowing.
We will meet for 10 x 75min somatic coaching sessions and 4 x 45 min breath + movement sessions, as well as access to a portal of somatic practices and voice note/messaging support.
This work is for you if:
You feel the weight of responsibilities, your to-do list and other people's emotions
Like lying in bed at night running through everything you didn't get done, everything you need to do tomorrow, and also worrying about how your friend seemed a bit off in her last message.
You're in the middle of something big — working motherhood, a career shift, entrepreneurship, a midlife stirring — and you need some gentle support
Like holding something enormous mostly alone and not wanting to burden the people you love with how hard it actually is.
You have dreams you want to get off the ground but you feel stuck, stagnant, flat
Like having an idea that lights you up for a moment and then watching your mind immediately fill with reasons why it won't work, why now isn't the right time, why someone else could do it better.
You feel a longing for more aliveness, alignment and pleasure
Like catching a glimpse of a life that feels more like you - slower, more spacious - and not quite knowing how to get there from here.
Your body feels tense and you find it hard to let go
Like carrying tension everywhere you go (in your shoulders, your jaw, your chest) that never quite releases.
Through this work, you’ll experience:
Feeling more settled in yourself: trusting your instincts and your own judgment again
Like being faced with a decision that would once have sent you into a spiral of second-guessing and feeling an inner knowing in your body about what's right for you.
Living at a rhythm that nourishes you rather than drains you
Like moving through your day with more gentleness, not rushing to the next thing. Living more in tune with your cycle (seasonal, menstrual).
Rekindling your relationship with what makes you feel alive
Like noticing that there are more moments in your day that feel alive. A conversation that lights you up. A piece of work you're proud of. A morning that feels spacious rather than frantic.
Leaving behind the patterns of overgiving and people pleasing
Like someone asking you to do something that doesn't feel right and instead of the usual automatic yes, feeling a calm, clear no rise up in you.
Setting boundaries and finding your voice without fear
Like speaking up in a meeting where you'd usually stay quiet, or telling a friend honestly how you're feeling instead of saying "I'm fine."
Taking steady, grounded steps toward what you actually want
Like finally moving towards a dream you’ve had for a while and taking gentle steps towards it.
Feeling held and supported instead of carrying it all alone
Like texting a friend when you're struggling instead of waiting until you're ok again. Or telling your partner what you actually need instead of hoping they'll guess.
Your body beginning to soften and unwind
Like moving through your day with less bracing. Noticing your shoulders have dropped. Your breath has deepened.
“Anouk has been a grounding and calming presence in a chaotic period in my life and I will forever be grateful to her. She has helped me to feel sure of myself and my decisions and the important things in my life. I feel transformed. Thank you Anouk! ”
— Jess, Programme Lead, Google
Why Somatic Work?
Most of us have spent years trying to think our way through the hard stuff. Reading the books, listening to the podcasts, understanding our patterns intellectually. And yet we still feel stuck.
Your patterns - the people pleasing, the tension, the self-abandonment, the shrinking - live in your nervous system, not your thinking mind. Through emotional attunement, somatic expression and gentle processing, you learn to feel at ease enough to soften. To feel. To take up space and ask for what you need. There's nothing to fix here. Nothing to push through. Just a slow, tender coming back to the wisdom that was always stored in your body, waiting for you to return.
About Anouk
For years it looked like my life was ‘successful’ — the full time role at Google, the family, the house. But on the inside I was running on adrenaline, chronically tense, and over giving in every direction.
Eventually I didn’t have a choice but learn to slow down, feel what I'd been avoiding, and listen to what was actually going on underneath.
That journey is what brought me here. I now walk alongside women who are looking for a different way of being and feeling - less tension, less pressure, less over giving and more aliveness.
I'm a somatic coach based in East London, fuelled by deep conversations, forest walks, sea swims and discovering new places. Read more about my story here.

“I'm incredibly grateful for all the guidance and support I got from my coaching sessions with Anouk. I learned how to manage stress at work and navigate promotion anxiety. She helped define what progression means to me and also developed a more compassionate voice, allowing me to deal with failure and be kinder to myself. Thank you for empowering me to thrive both personally and professionally!”
— Ana, Design Lead
“I was able to process my feelings about closing my business and shift how I framed it - from feeling like a failure to celebrating the value of everything I’ve done and the successes along the way. Anouk’s embodied practices really resonated with me, helping me connect more deeply with myself, find clarity, and gently step into a new chapter with wisdom and confidence.”
— Carla, Entrepreneur
“Working with Anouk has been genuinely transformative. She helped me connect more deeply with myself and untangle the many competing voices in my head, allowing me to see a much clearer and more grounded path forward. Her approach is both insightful and practical, and I’ve been able to apply what I’ve learned not just in reflection, but in real-life situations. The tools and perspectives she’s shared continue to support me well beyond our sessions.”
