Working With Jory

somatic coach Jory Sussman

Our work together will be profound, thought-provoking, and intense.

  • We will meet once a week or bi-monthly via Zoom.

  • You will have unlimited access to me, where I inquire, support, and challenge you in “real-time” through WhatsApp or another secure platform.

  • Everything is 100% confidential, and I commit to showing up for you as fully as possible. I always intend to respect, give my complete attention, and hold you in the highest possible regard. You are in the lead, but you can count on me to profoundly challenge you!

  • You may receive evidence-based, customized assignments, worksheets, and practices to complete between sessions.

  • You will be invited to practice mind-body practices that support emotional well-being, productivity, and peak performance. You are always in the driver’s seat.

  • Various assessments such as the Values in Action (VIA) Characters Strength Survey, the Positive Intelligence Sabotueur Assessment

  • For those who want to dive deeper and faster, I offer “Journal-Based Coaching,” where you will receive a new journal prompt each week on a secure and private platform, and I will interact with it and you daily.

What will the coaching sessions look like? How does somatic coaching work?

The first session is designed to get to know you quickly and begin supporting you immediately in defining and articulating your vision for your personal and professional life. Many clients appreciate starting each session with a brief centering or meditation, while others prefer to dive right in. The topic may already be established since we will be closely in touch between sessions.

Each call is an opportunity to peel back the layers. We will move back and forth between your overarching goal—which may change, and that’s okay—and the day-to-day aspects of your life. I trust in your wholeness, will follow your lead, and challenge you by bringing everything I know about you into each coaching session.

I commit to giving you my entire presence and attention. I will ask powerful questions, make observations, offer interpretations, and challenge you to gain clarity and move into action. We may use assessments or exercises during sessions. I will invite you to practice somatic awareness, directing your attention to the felt experience in your body for greater self-awareness. 

Remember, you are in the driver’s seat and will decide how you want to be accountable.
