Client Experiences: Somatic Coaching with Deborah

A session with Somatic Coach Deborah Lee is a truly holistic wellbeing experience. Her deep knowledge of Embodied Leadership, paired with genuine empathy, active listening, and care, made a significant difference when I felt emotionally and mentally blocked. With her guidance and techniques, I was able to gain clarity in a difficult decision-making moment and felt noticeably lighter right away. Deborah is courageous, dedicated, and deeply human—making a real impact in the lives of many. The world needs more healing through the support of professionals like her.

Deborah has helped me work through some of my deep patterns in a simple yet effective manner. Through my work with her, I have become more aware of how my body responds to triggers, and found practical tools for regulation, coming back to my body and breaking ingrained patterns. After each session, I leave feeling more at peace within myself. After just four sessions, I’m in a much better place—more grounded, more whole and much more at peace in my relationships.

Deborah's coaching was eye-opening for me. When I realised how my anxiety physically manifested, everything became more tangible and manageable. The pendulum exercise was not only fascinating but it also a practical tool I can turn to, especially in those high-stress moments. Deborah made me feel really heard and understood and she helped me to address my struggles with anxiety.

Through my sessions with Deborah, I gained a much deeper and visceral sense of the intricate mind and body connection. Now using the somatic techniques I learnt in my sessions, I find a greater sense of focus, creativity and purpose.

Corporate Experiences: Embodied Leadership Workshop with Coach Deborah

Wonderful workshop with Deborah on embodied leadership! The somatic toolkit she provided has been something I’ve already put into action, and the exercise we performed together as a group was really impactful for me. Walking away from the session, I was encouraged to listen to my body and the signs it’s giving me – rather than trying to shut it down and overcome with the brain!
– Courtney Stennett, MFA
Deborah is a great leader and facilitator. I thoroughly enjoyed her discussions, pointers and tips at the embodied leadership workshop where I learned not only from her, but other participants during our small group exercises. I left with easy tools I can now use in my daily life and workplace to ground myself and listen to my inner voice to better respond with maturity and honesty in both professional and personal environments and situations.
– Greg Sim
Deborah’s blend of theory & practice, empathy & humor, and mind, body & heart made the workshop a gift that keeps on giving—we all can use what she taught us immediately and daily. Glad I could attend it!
– Jan Combopiano, COO
Really enjoyed the embodied leadership workshop with Deborah! Great blend of science and practicality. Such a valuable reminder to check in with your body so you can more intentionally act–or not!–on the information it is trying to share with you. Have been applying what I’ve learned in the weeks since and it’s been very helpful. Thank you, Deborah!
