Somatic coaching helps you work with stress, anxiety, and emotional patterns through the body, not just the mind.
Unlike traditional talk therapy or mindset coaching, somatic coaching addresses how chronic stress, trauma, and overwhelm get stored in the nervous system as tension, hypervigilance, exhaustion, or emotional shutdown.
Benefits of somatic coaching include:
• Reduced chronic stress and nervous system overwhelm
• Greater emotional regulation and resilience
• Relief from anxiety, burnout, and emotional exhaustion
• Improved clarity, decision-making, and self-trust
• Feeling more grounded, present, and connected
in relationships and daily life
• Breaking recurring patterns that willpower and mindset work alone haven't resolvedSomatic coaching is especially effective for high-functioning professionals who appear fine externally but feel stuck in survival mode internally.
At Mind Body Awareness, Jennifer Degen integrates somatic practices with nervous system regulation, NLP, and Rapid Transformational Therapy for change that is both fast and deeply lasting.

Reconnecting with your body is one of the most effective ways to reduce anxiety and chronic stress.
Techniques include:
• Breathwork :Conscious breathing patterns that activate the parasympathetic nervous system and calm the body's stress response
• Somatic awareness: Tuning into physical sensations to notice where stress, tension, or emotion is being held in the body
• Nervous system regulation: Practices that help shift your body out of fight-or-flight and into a state of safety and calm
• Mindful movement: Yoga, gentle stretching, or walking with intentional body awareness
• Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT): A method that accesses the subconscious mind to identify and rewire the root cause of anxiety and stress patternsThe key is working with the body, not just the mind. Many high-functioning people have learned to override
stress signals for years, which keeps the nervous system stuck in survival mode even when life looks stable.At Mind Body Awareness, Jennifer Degen combines all of these techniques in her Resilient Practitioner programs to help clients experience real, lasting shifts.

Most stress management advice focuses on surface-level strategies, meditation apps, time management, and "self-care" routines. But for high-performing professionals in high-pressure roles, burnout isn't a time management problem. It's a nervous system problem.
When your body has been operating in survival mode for months or years, no amount of rest, journaling, or positive thinking will fully resolve it because the stress lives in your body, not just your mind.
Effective burnout prevention for high-performers includes:
• Nervous system regulation: Learning to shift out of chronic fight-or-flight throughout your day
• Somatic awareness: Recognizing stress signals in your body before they escalate to burnout
• Root cause work: Identifying the subconscious beliefs and patterns driving overwork, people-pleasing, or perfectionism
• Breathwork: Quick regulation techniques you can use between meetings, calls, or high-stress moments
• Professional support: Working with a trauma-informed somatic coach who understands high-performance environmentsAt Mind Body Awareness, Jennifer Degen specializes in helping leaders, CEOs, and high-performing professionals break free from burnout without sacrificing their performance or career.
