Rachy Friedlander, Somatic Coach's style

Why Rachy Friedlander, Somatic Coach chose to be in the helping profession

I have embraced a career in the helping profession because it resonates deeply with my passion and aligns with my authentic self. Rather than viewing it as a job, it feels like a personal mission to assist others in realizing their true selves. Transitioning from a challenging period in my life to one filled with genuine illumination has instilled in me a profound sense of purpose – to illuminate the path for those navigating their own darkness.

My journey from profound darkness to genuine radiance has opened me to my light, which I now want to shine onto others, until they find their own. Each of us has light inside, as well as joy, freedom, peace and love. But we can't access it when we're covered in wounds and trauma and we're operating under so much stress. Drawing from my own experiences, I am dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate their unique struggles and journey to self-discovery. The transformative process of healing facilitates the emergence of our authentic selves, allowing us to grow into the full expression of our uniqueness.

Have you successfully emerged from your own darkness, sculpting a life that beautifully mirrors your distinctive strengths and individuality?

Rachy Friedlander, Somatic Coach's approach

My coaching approach is deeply influenced by my exploration of emotional healing through the spiritual lenses of Kabbalah and Chassidus. Each session is approached intuitively, drawing from a diverse toolbox that includes modalities such as psychodrama, IFS (Internal Family Systems), Transforming Touch, meditation, Breathwork, yoga, and more. My fundamental belief is rooted in the conviction that every individual is inherently whole and possesses an innate capacity for healing. Although obscured by layers of trauma, wounds, and negative beliefs, this intrinsic wholeness can be accessed, and it is my role to guide clients toward the space of clear divine consciousness.

Recognizing that our bodies somatically retain traumas and fears, I guide clients through inner work to facilitate a transformative shift toward the possibilities of wholeness. Witnessing the emergence of hope and faith after each session is a source of profound fulfillment for me. I am full of gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to this transformative journey.

What you can expect from sessions with Rachy Friedlander, Somatic Coach

In our sessions, the process is a somatic approach, encouraging a deep connection with our body and nervous system. Merely discussing challenges is insufficient; we delve into identifying where these challenges manifest in our bodies. Locating the specific areas of constriction becomes a gateway to engaging in a dialogue with those parts, thereby gaining an understanding of what our parts are holding onto. We do this by employing approaches like IFS (Internal Family Systems) or psychodrama focused on inner child work.

As we uncover the beliefs we have constructed and their impact, we bring them to awareness and integrate the adult to reprogram these beliefs. This process is sometimes complemented with Transforming Touch sessions, where I provide direct hands-on support to the client's body on the table. Throughout our sessions, I pose numerous questions to facilitate an honest exploration of the client's reality.

Creating a space of safety and comfort is paramount, allowing clients to explore their deepest traumas with a sense of security. The commitment to staying present with their inner child is transformative, often leading to life-changing shifts for the adult part of the client. The sessions are dynamic, and within this space, anything can unfold. Clients express gratitude for the opportunity to navigate their journey with a renewed sense of safety and commitment.

Rachy Friedlander, Somatic Coach's experience working with the Jewish community

A significant portion of my clientele comes from the Jewish community, encompassing diverse walks of life, varying levels of adherence to Judaism, and different religious backgrounds. It's intriguing to observe how distinct communities exhibit unique patterns of trauma. Drawing from my personal journey of transitioning from a more restricted lifestyle to a more open-minded community, I've found that this background has uniquely equipped me to be particularly effective in assisting individuals within the ultra-orthodox community.

Navigating the intricacies of abstract concepts such as the soul, relationships, and love, within religion, can be challenging, and I've found that I can provide valuable support by offering a more practical and accessible understanding of concepts such as Gd (God) and Torah. For clients grappling with these profound ideas, I strive to facilitate a space where they can explore these spiritual aspects in a way that resonates with their personal journey. My ability to bridge the gap between different religious perspectives has proven beneficial in fostering a sense of understanding and acceptance for clients from varying backgrounds within the Jewish community.
