I'm Amy BeberVanzo; my pronouns are she/they. I work remotely and in person. I'm located in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Somatic Coaching process often starts with the narrative of what’s wrong: the story in the head. Feldenkrais work can start with the narrative of what hurts: the story in the body. Self- learnings through Somatic Coaching and Feldenkrais may cross, with one informing the other. In practice, I keep them distinct. Each methodology is based on bringing more self-awareness and choice to one's life. Many clients work with me in both domains. https://www.propriosomatics.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-07-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba68f325cd52404bb5c436/fd8e6f3a-4369-424e-9aeb-00a42421c719/Contact+Proprio+Somatics.png Contact https://www.propriosomatics.com/about daily 0.75 2025-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba68f325cd52404bb5c436/245c159d-86a4-47f8-9c84-47a6df4da130/About+Amy+BeberVanzo+.png About - I'm Amy BeberVanzo My processes work to uncover unconscious conditioned behavior and mistaken belief. This opens space for new choices and effective action. What connects the pieces of my work are Somatics and Proprioception. Somatics is the understanding that the human body and mind exist as a unified Self, not just a brain carried by a body. Proprioception is the Self's ability to feel its own position in space, its internal sensations, and the efforts of movement. In Somatic Coaching, we know that people do not change by merely thinking about it; they change by engaging in new practices that supplant old habits. I am a Somatic Coach & Bodyworker, and an ICF Professional Certified coach. I also mentor & supervise other coaches, developed and experienced, in both domains. In the Feldenkrais Method, we know that we can change the way we use our Self by feeling how we move, and then exploring other possibilities. Knowing where you are in life, you can make informed choices to get where you want to be. Feeling how you move now, you can choose ways to move more effectively, with less effort. I am a Guild Certified Feldenkrais practitioner, teaching group Awareness Through Movement lessons, as well as doing hands-on private work with individual clients in that methodology. In both Strozzi Somatics and in the Feldenkrais Method, we need to first understand what is true now, and proprioception is our informer. We are what we practice. Learn to practice something different, and reach your goals. We are each differently resourced. Please let me know what accommodations you need. https://www.propriosomatics.com/coaching daily 0.75 2025-08-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba68f325cd52404bb5c436/1e347bbe-ab8d-45c8-a4fa-f7b1145443f1/Amy-BeberVanzo-Somatic-Coach.jpg Coaching - Somatic Coaching & Bodywork Through conversation and simple body movement practices in our coaching sessions, we'll explore how you move through the world now, what you want and how to get there. Your body has lived your history, too, holding its memories — and those of your ancestors — in its tissues. In our work together, we may use somatic bodywork (fully clothed), which involves informed touch practices that can release those habitual holdings so you can move more freely toward what you want. Deepen your self-awareness, define your goals, and build new practices to become the body that can live into your desired future. Lead your life, lead your team. We are each differently resourced. I offer my services on a sliding scale; please let me know what accommodations you need. Sessions are in person, or remote via Zoom. Coaching or bodywork questions? Book a Free Discovery Call.

Hands-on Somatic Bodywork is offered in person in multiple locations. When that's not possible, guided self-touch is offered remotely via zoom.

In small group sessions, we’ll review key somatic methodology, practices (including zoom techniques), and what core coaching skills you'll need to demonstrate in your final video submission for SISC certification. You will learn how to select a good session for submission, and what's important in your self-reflection. This course is not designed to include observed coaching. Five sessions of 1.5 hr over several weeks. Led by a veteran mentor coach for SISC, who is also a final video assessor for the program. Coaches who are already ICF certified can receive either mentoring or CCE credit toward certificate renewal. Coaches who are already certified Somatic Coaches are welcome to join us, too! If you need financial accommodations or want different group options, please email me (connect@propriosomatics.com). Still have questions?

I've been learning in the Strozzi home dojo since 2003, and began mentoring somatic coaches there in 2017. In the Strozzi domain, I mentor SISC students (in both Somatic & ICF coaching), I mentor their mentors in their mentoring, and I mentor experienced coaches as they deepen their practice. My creds for this work: Master Somatic Coach, ICF PCC, Mentor Coach. If you need to contact me directly, email me here I look forward to connecting soon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba68f325cd52404bb5c436/1658507980346-XQZKPTICUQCLSQOEYENP/Amy_BeberVanzo_2022-233.jpg SISC - Private Mentor Coaching I offer 1x1 Mentor Coaching for both experienced somatic coaches and those working toward certification. This work may include review of a recorded coaching session you provide before our meeting. Continued mentoring is an important part of every coach’s growth. In addition, this mentor coaching can fulfill both SISC and ICF mentoring requirements for new certification, as well as for certification renewal; it is also eligible for Continued Coach Education (CCE) hours. It may qualify as Resource Development CCE hours for practitioners in professions besides coaching. A recorded session review requires an add-on fee and some lead time for me to review the recording before we meet. Have questions?

Conversations deepen. Somatic Coach Mentoring addresses the How of the coaching process. It involves the study of somatic principles and practices, and their application in core coaching competencies. Somatic Coach Supervision addresses the Who of the coaching process. It involves exploration of how you embody your coaching, your own expectations, case studies, and group reflection to open your perspectives. The two modalities are distinct but interconnected. They are offered separately in small groups, but generally run concurrently, once a month each over several months. Groups organizing soon to start in April. Both are open to coaches who have completed their Strozzi Somatic Coach training (even if not yet certified). If you have a current study group that wants mentor support, or a particular scheduling need, please make a request. Note for Everyone: I have a Financial Equity Sliding Scale policy.

Through guided gentle, intentional movement, you'll learn to recognize — and change — unconscious habits that inhibit movement and limit choices. We look toward easing movement in and across armoring bands; in length, width and depth; in breath, in extension and in broadening vision. Bonus: you'll learn to move more effectively, more easily. Multiple group classes are offered each week. Each day’s lesson is different. Each lesson is self-contained, and under an hour long. No prior Feldenkrais experience is needed; join any class. We are all differently resourced; if price is a barrier for you, please let me know via email (connect@propriosomatics.com) and tell me what you can afford for this $25 class and we'll work it out. If you are well resourced and can help defray someone else's costs, please tell me via email (connect@propriosomatics.com). Classes are offered remotely via zoom.
