Make room for what’s here.
Coaching that meets you where you are — with awareness, compassion, and curiosity.
​​The tightening in the chest.
The closing of the throat.
The incessant dialogue of the mind.
The pulsing, the shriveling of fear.
Even the lashing out.
​
All of it belongs.
And when we allow it
breath by breath,
new ways of moving, relating, and living become possible.
​
Coaching with me is an invitation to slow down.
To listen to what your body is saying.
​​
Together we practice curiosity,
trust the wisdom of your body,
and honor your perspective
with radical acceptance, fierce compassion and movement to something new.
​​​
Slow down. Sense. Choose.

My work is rooted in a commitment to fearless, embodied presence — offerings grounded in loving kindness, honoring our diversity and wholeness.
I help capable, caring people who push themselves and still feel not enough find the steadiness, grace, and compassion to live guided by purpose, not pressure.
​​​
​Somatic coaching invites awareness through the body — sensing, breathing, and moving as ways to meet life more fully.
It’s not about fixing or analysing, but learning to stay present with what arises so that new possibilities can unfold naturally.

A Path of Belonging
My path to this work has been as diverse as the people I serve.
​
I'm Evelyn, and I was born in Sweden to Chinese parents from India, and I have always carried different worlds within me. Over time, this has become a path of belonging—bridging cultures, weaving together body and mind, and meeting both self and other, with presence.
My journey has taken me through years of international work with the United Nations in Rome, Khartoum, and Yangon — and through practices that opened another way of being: Vipassana meditation, Ashtanga yoga, and the slow, steady art of listening.
Motherhood brought new questions and new beginnings. I turned toward psychology and coaching, and discovered somatic practice as the place where it all comes together: body, mind, awareness, and our longing for connection. For me, somatic coaching is a way of listening to life as it moves through the body — learning to recognise the patterns that hold us, and the movements that set us free. It’s a practice of presence, compassion, and curiosity — allowing what we sense to guide what we choose.
Today I also train as a Gestalt psychotherapist and continue to deepen my meditation practice.
​
My coaching weaves somatic awareness, mindfulness, and compassionate inquiry. I accompany people who have pushed hard and still feel not enough to find inner steadiness, speak from their body, and move through life with grounded grace. Sessions are a space to listen to what your body knows and to move toward what feels most alive.
In coaching, I bring my whole self — awareness, courage, and trust that when we together meet what is present together, something larger becomes possible.
Even amidst suffering, I trust the beauty, creativity, and joy that can emerge when we slow down and truly listen.

What Clients Experience
Clients describe our sessions as safe, spacious, and quietly transformative.
They often come feeling tense, overextended, or uncertain — and leave with a sense of calm, clarity, and renewed trust in themselves.
In our sessions, awareness naturally returns to the body — to breath, posture, gesture, and the subtle ways emotion moves through us.
As we stay with what’s present, understanding begins to take form through sensation rather than thought.
Over time, this shared practice deepens the capacity to pause, sense, and respond with compassion — both in coaching and in daily life.
Many speak of feeling more grounded, confident, and alive — able to meet life’s changes with a grace that feels natural rather than forced.
​​​

Here are a few words from those I’ve had the privilege to accompany... ​​
​
Client Reflections
“Evelyn creates such a safe and compassionate space to explore what’s hard. She listens deeply and reflects back the most important insights, offering practices that help you not just think differently, but be differently.”
​​​​
“Evelyn listens with her whole being. Through her questions and insight, I found clarity, confidence, and a gentler way of being with myself.”
​​​​
“Working with Evelyn brought a calm focus into my life. I feel less anxious, more confident, and more connected to what truly matters.”
​​​​
“Sometimes I felt like I was meandering and rambling with no clear direction… It wasn't until at the very end that I realised that is exactly how it was meant to be: we went on a ramble without a map, and I was leading the way while you were there to help and support when I felt lost or frustrated. The declaration was the destination and we felt our way together towards it. What a beautiful journey!”
Embodied Experiences
​“When the coach guided me to forgive and thank parts of my body, I felt a sadness slip through me. After that, I became lighter and more balanced.”
​​​
"I have been able to name my emotions and express them — definitely more self-compassion and acceptance, being more emotionally aware, more open to others.”
​
“I often felt energised and flowy after the sessions. There were sessions that I began with lots of sadness, which felt like a heaviness in my chest. By the end of the session I usually felt lighter as there was more space to breathe.”
​​
​“At the end of most sessions I felt notably more open and relaxed than I had done before starting the session. The sessions increased my awareness of my body's habitual responses and holding positions. One of the sessions led to a realisation of a somatic pattern which was followed by an incredible week-long energetic unfolding of release to do with long-held shame.”
​​
​“The more energetic sessions — hitting pillow, jumping around, rocking, centering practice — were where i felt the most significant shifts”​​​​
Somatic coaching isn’t about fixing — it’s about practicing presence, moment by moment. Curious?
