Somatic coaching & women’s retreats

Live from a place of stability, self-trust & authenticity.

BE GUIDED BACK INTO YOUR BODY

Do you ever feel like stress or emotion has taken over? You’re juggling family, work and life’s demands, but a passing comment or an unexpected turn of events can set off a chain reaction – leaving you feeling stressed, overwhelmed or maybe wondering: “What’s wrong with me?” 

I’m Caroline Birch, a somatic practitioner based in Sydney and working with people across Australia and beyond. For years, I lived in constant overwhelm, feeling like something was wrong with me for being so sensitive – so different from those around me. My emotions often felt like too much to handle and I thought it was a curse I’d never escape. But here’s what I’ve learnt: your sensitivity isn’t a flaw – it’s your strength, a gift when you know how to work with it.  

Imagine living in complete trust of your body and it’s wisdom, having the freedom to experience cycles of stress and emotions without feeling destabilised. I support my clients to gently digest incomplete cycles of stress and emotion being held in their bodies from the past, that keep you looping in old patterns and reactivity. You’ll learn how to create a trusting relationship with your body’s cues and instincts. No more suppressing emotion, saying yes when you want to say no or wronging yourself for your thoughts or feelings. You’ll become a natural at riding waves of stress and emotion, no longer weighed down by the weight of past experiences.

HOW I CAN SUPPORT YOU

1. SOMATIC (body-led) COACHING

For those ready to get free from old patterns and live from their most instinctive and empowered ways of being. 

Do you ever feel like no matter what you try, you end up in the same loops—reacting, regretting and second-guessing? My somatic coaching sessions offer a personalised path to gently unravel the weight of undigested stress and emotions held in your body, giving you greater access to choice. In these one-on-one sessions, we’ll digest the unfelt emotion and nervous system patterning behind held in your body. In doing so, you’ll have greater access to stability, discernment and your innate instincts. 

You’ll learn to tune into what’s happening in your body moment by moment, sensing the need of the moment. Somatic coaching supports you to cultivate the space to respond to life with intention instead of feeling overtaken by stress or emotion.

Key takeaways:

·       Finally get free from old patterns by liberating your body from the undigested stress, emotion and life experiences that hold those patterns in place.
·       Develop a compassionate and deeply understanding relationship with your emotions.
·       Be guided to awaken your most instinctive ways of being—self-trust, discernment, choice, self expression, nourishment and creativity.
·       Feel stable and grounded as you navigate life’s inevitable highs and lows.

2. WOMEN’S RETREATS

A nurturing reset for women ready to reconnect with themselves and their body, shed emotional density & create greater stability & self-trust in a supportive group of women. 

Imagine taking time to completely unwind in a beautiful setting, surrounded by women on a similar quest for greater peace and freedom to be themselves. My retreats are a chance to reset, experience somatic explorations for cultivating greater stability and self-attunement, and connect with a supportive community that “gets” you. With restorative practices, gentle movement, nourishing meals and time for deep rest, you’ll leave feeling light, clear and ready to step back into life in deeper connection with yourself.

Key takeaways:

·       Escape the daily grind and find a space where you can put down everything you’ve been carrying, take a big exhale and truly unwind.
·       Experience a deep sense of belonging – to yourself and to a community of like-minded women.
·       Return home not just rested, but nourished and transformed—having learnt how to stay grounded and clear through life’s inevitable ups and downs.

ABOUT CAROLINE

I’m Caroline and I’m so happy you’re here. I used to live with anxiety and emotional chaos as daily companions. Every day, I felt like my emotions would swallow me whole. People told me I was “too sensitive”, “too emotional”, and honestly, I believed it. It wasn’t just the residue of undigested past experiences that held me back – it was the constant self-criticism, the harsh inner voice telling me I was wrong for feeling the way I did.

Through somatic work, I found that sensitivity wasn’t the problem - it was my unfelt emotions, patterned nervous system responses and critical inner voice that were keeping me stuck.  

Today, I’m known for being steady, grounded and present – something I never thought possible for me. Now, I help people like you to connect with your body, trust your instincts and learn how to ride waves of emotion with ease. Through a grounded somatic approach, led by you and your body, I help you feel fully and freely yourself.
