Hi, I’m Vanessa Allard.

About Me

With over 15 years of experience and extensive training in the fields of coaching, somatic therapy, and bodywork, I bring a unique combination of expertise to the individuals and groups I work with. I grew up in a family of alternative healthcare practitioners, so I have been immersed in somatics from a young age. I have dedicated my life to studying healing modalities and to my own deep personal work, which supports me in helping others learn more about who they are and their own innate capacities. When I’m not seeing clients, I find joy in being outdoors and raising my daughter with my husband Alex Greene (also a somatic coach!)

 

How We’ll Work Together

As a body-centered coach, I work holistically, intuitively, and relationally to help you access your own innate ability to heal. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, fluidly weaving together my broad set of modalities, highlighting mindfulness and body-felt sense awareness. 

I am committed to offering a safe and supportive space for my clients to become curious about themselves, their choices, and their behaviors. I care deeply about the work that I do and strongly believe in the healing potential of the therapeutic relationship.
