WHAT I DO
somatic renewal coach & gUIDE
‘Go inside’ she said. ‘That’s where you want to be not out there amongst the madness. Coorie doon and get quiet. Turn on the light and close your eyes so you can see. Breathe. Listen. Do you feel the sound of stillness?’ – Unbound
Hi, I’m Linz. I work with high-achieving women who are done performing and ready to drop the mask.
You’ve been holding it all alone. Pushing through. Lost your spark. Getting on with it. But the exhaustion you’re carrying now goes bone deep. Your body is saying no in ways you can’t ignore anymore.
I’ve been there. I rebuilt my health and capacity after burnout and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) – a condition where full recovery in adults is rare.
As a body-led coach and guide, I help women shift survival patterns, reconnect to their body and create lasting change before exhaustion becomes crisis.
If this resonates, you’re in the right place.
a different kind of coaching
A body-led approach to lasting change.
This isn’t just mindset work. This is body-orientated coaching for those ready to feel again.
You are not broken. You are not weak. You are not too much. You are a person whose nervous system learned to survive in conditions that required more than any nervous system should have to give.
You’ve been trying to think your way through this for long enough. And still the exhaustion remains. Still the body says no. That’s not failure. That’s what happens when the body is left out of the conversation.
Your body is asking you to listen.
What will it cost you to keep ignoring it?
Maybe you believe you can’t stop, can’t ask for help or feel trapped with no way out. Maybe you feel hopeless and helpless. So you keep dismissing your body’s signals. Push through. Wear a smile. Call it resilience.
Without realising it – you are abandoning the Self.
I understand that. But I didn’t fully understand the consequences until my body forced me to stop. I don’t want that for you. You can choose to listen now and find a better way.
Somatic Renewal Coaching works differently.
It begins with listening – not just to your thoughts, but to the subtle signals of your nervous system, your emotions and your energy. Your body holds a deeper knowing that your mind alone cannot access. This work creates the conditions for that knowing to surface so that real, lasting change can emerge from within you, not be imposed from the outside.
Learning to feel again is the path to freedom.
I walk beside you as you soften, feel and remember your Self beneath the survival patterns. The process is sacred but never solemn. Laughter is medicine here. Your full humanity – messy, tender, wise and whole – is always welcome.
I’m not just here to hold space. I guide. I help you find your way through. I know the burnout terrain from the inside. And I bring the ability to see what’s really going on beneath the surface – the patterns, the root causes, the deeper thread.
The wisdom is always yours. The seeing is mine.
I help you make sense of what your body is doing, why and how to support it. Because once you see it clearly, things can begin to change.
What you carry – the complexity, the sensitivity, the depth – is not the problem. It is the gift. You just haven’t been able to see it yet.
If something in you stirs as you read this, I invite you to listen to that. That quiet nudge is worth following.
ABOUT YOU
Feeling burnt out, stuck or disconnected? You are not alone.
What here might resonate with you?
Burnout symptoms are a result of feeling overloaded, under-challenged or neglecting your own needs — often all three at once. Maybe you’ve reached a point where you just know you can’t keep going like this. Something has to change.
Deep down you know you are so much more than this. Now it’s finally time to find out what that might look and feel like.
You are longing to…
- Drop the mask and show up as your full self
- Know what you want and experience real change not just talk about it
- Set boundaries without guilt and take up space without shrinking
- Release the weight of shame and guilt and live a life that feels like your own
- Trust yourself, quiet the self-doubt and feel empowered to make better choices
You are wanting to…
- Feel more connected to your body and get your nervous system out of survival mode
- Break free from burnout and chronic fatigue – without needing to prove or push
- Wake up rested with energy that lasts
- Have healthier ways to cope – instead of numbing or disconnecting
You are desiring to…
- Reconnect with your intuition, creativity and aliveness
- Rediscover joy, beauty, play and meaning
- Find peace in acceptance, own your story and see the goodness that is already here
- Live life guided by your own knowing – not fear, habit or expectation
- Be more present and grounded
What would it feel like to celebrate you?
HOW we WORK
Grounded. Real. Intuitive. Embodied.
We slow down, feel in and listen to your body speak.
A Co-Created Partnership
Somatic Renewal Coaching isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about returning – to your body, to your inner clarity and to the deep wisdom already within you.
Through presence and co-regulation, we create a partnership where your body leads the way. Together, we tune in – tracking sensations, emotions and impulses that reveal what’s true beneath the noise. As you reconnect with your body’s signals, you begin to rebuild trust in yourself, expanding your capacity for what’s possible.
This isn’t about achieving more. It’s about living more truthfully, aligned with who you already are.
In deeper work, I bring something more – the intuitive ability to see patterns and possibilities you may not yet be able to see yourself.
For clients drawn to it, creative expression can be woven in as a somatic tool using art, writing or making to access what words alone can’t reach.
What You Can Expect
- Coaching is present and future-focused – we work with what’s alive in you now and move toward what’s possible.
- A trauma-informed practice – we work at your pace, not mine. Nothing gets forced, rushed or pushed beyond what feels right for you.
- A held space – non-judgemental, attuned and grounded, with a little sparkle.
- All of you is welcome – no masks, no performance. You don’t need to arrive resourced or ready. Nothing is too much, too messy, too complex.
- An integrated approach – drawn from mindfulness, somatic practice, embodied psychotherapy, constellations, creative arts therapy and deep listening.
- You are the expert and I am the guide – you already hold the answers within you. My role is to hold space, and over time, to see patterns, root causes and possibilities that may not yet be visible to you. Together we go deeper.
- An invitation to create – if it calls to you and entirely optional. No artistic experience needed, just curiosity.

WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“This is What Regulation Feels Like”
Working with Linz helped me tune in to something steadier in myself—something I could actually feel. It’s subtle but strong – and surprisingly practical. It’s changed how I look after myself.
I was trying to make sense of some strong reactions I was having—irritation, upset, flashes of anger that felt out of proportion. I could explain them in my head, and I knew how to be kind to myself afterwards, but in the moment, none of that seemed to reach the place where the reaction was actually happening.
It felt like my body was responding faster than my thoughts could catch up, and I didn’t know how to meet that.
Working with Linz helped me tune in to something steadier in myself—something I could actually feel, not just think about.
There was a quiet moment in one session where something clicked, and I realised, this is it — “this is what regulation feels like“.
Since then, I’ve been able to come back to that feeling when I need to. It’s subtle but strong, and surprisingly practical. I use it in everyday situations now, sometimes without even realising it. It’s changed how I look after myself.
Linz has a really gentle way of being with you—never pushing, but somehow helping you get right to the thing that matters.
I wasn’t sure how body-based work would feel over a screen, but I felt safe and grounded right from the start. There’s nothing performative about her—just real presence, and a deep trust in the process.
She’s not trying to fix you. She helps you feel more at home in yourself, which is maybe the most powerful kind of help there is.

“Truly Seen. Genuinely Heard. Transformational”
Having experienced many therapists and healing modalities over the years, I can wholeheartedly recommend working with Linz. Her somatic coaching stands out as a truly transformative and supportive experience.
From the very first session, I felt safe and in experienced hands. Linz creates a warm, non-judgmental space where self-exploration feels natural and unforced.
Through her guidance, I gained clarity, understanding, and insights that I hadn’t uncovered on my own—insights that continue to have a lasting impact on my life.
I felt deeply valued, truly seen, and genuinely heard throughout our work together.
If you’re looking for meaningful, embodied coaching that nourishes both personal growth and self-awareness, I encourage you to reward yourself by booking time with Linz. It’s a decision I’m grateful I made.

FAQs
How do I know if this is burnout?
Burnout is recognised by the WHO as an occupational syndrome resulting from chronic stress that hasn’t been successfully managed. The NHS describes it as a state of physical, mental and emotional exhaustion that doesn’t resolve with rest alone.
Burnout is not the same as stress. Stress is short term – you feel it, you get through it, you recover. Burnout is longer term. Rest doesn’t fix it. You stop being able to bounce back.
Symptoms look like:
- Physical — persistent fatigue, disrupted sleep, body aches, getting ill more frequently, no energy even after rest.
- Mental — inability to concentrate, forgetfulness, mental fog, feeling detached or going through the motions.
- Emotional — apathy, irritability, feeling hopeless or helpless, loss of joy and motivation.
Typical causes of burnout:
- Feeling Overloaded — doing too much for too long, unable to stop even when your body is saying no.
- Feeling Under-challenged — disconnected and apathetic. Boredom. The meaning has gone. You find yourself asking “what’s the point?”
- Neglected your own needs — losing yourself in the process. Quietly disappearing. Going through the motions. Ignoring your deeper wants.
Most people experience a combination of all three — often without realising it has a name.
Left unaddressed burnout doesn’t resolve on its own. The exhaustion deepens. The disconnection becomes normal. Over time it can develop into chronic fatigue, anxiety or physical illness – conditions that take significantly longer to recover from. The body will find its own way to make you stop.
You can choose to listen now.
Who can benefit from this coaching?
Burnout can affect anyone but it is more common in women. And certain personality traits are more commonly seen in people who experience burnout and chronic fatigue.
If you recognise yourself in any of these, this work was made for you:
- You push through exhaustion and override your body’s signals until you crash
- You hold yourself to very high standards and are quietly self-critical
- You put others’ needs first and find it hard to say no without guilt
- You need certainty and feel anxious when things feel out of control
- You are highly sensitive and easily overstimulated by stress, emotion or environment
- You suppress difficult emotions – grief, shame, anger – rather than feel them
- You have neglected your own deeper needs for so long you’ve lost touch with what they are
- You feel unable to stop, ask for help or rely on others so you keep pushing
The suppression of emotions plays a significant role in how chronic stress accumulates in the body. When we don’t allow ourselves to feel, the body eventually finds its own way to make us stop.
This is not a character flaw. It is a pattern. And patterns can change.
You don’t need to have the perfect words or know exactly what you want. That’s part of the process. All that’s needed is curiosity, openness and a willingness to listen to what arises.
What is Somatic Renewal Coaching and how is it different?
Somatic Renewal Coaching is my own integrative approach weaving together body-orientated coaching, somatic practice and creative arts therapy into a single coherent way of working.
Most traditional coaching models focus on mindset, goals and cognitive processes – working primarily with thoughts, beliefs and behaviours. Somatic Renewal Coaching is different because it brings the body into the conversation.
We work with the whole of you – not just what you think, but what you feel, sense and experience on a deeper embodied level. We listen to the signals of your nervous system, your emotions, your physical sensations and your energy.
The word renewal is intentional. It speaks to the kind of transformation that doesn’t happen on the surface – the kind that asks you to go inward, to sit with what’s been buried and to emerge more wholly yourself.
Not a quick refresh. A genuine beginning again.
What’s the difference between you being a coach and a guide?
In Somatic Renewal Coaching the client is always the expert – you know yourself, your body and your experience better than anyone. My role is to hold space for that wisdom to surface. I follow what’s alive for you. Your body leads.
But I also bring something more.
When we work together, especially over time – I begin to see what you may not yet be able to see from inside your own experience. Patterns. Root causes. The thread that runs beneath everything. The bigger picture of how you got here and what needs to shift.
Think of it this way. You are walking through a forest and can only see the trees immediately around you. I can see the whole forest – where you came from, where you are and where the path leads. I don’t drag you down the path. I walk beside you and occasionally say “do you see that pattern over there? What does your body say about that?”
The wisdom is always yours. The seeing is mine.
This is what I mean when I say – you are the expert and I am the guide. Two things held together. Neither cancels the other out.
In the multi-session packages this guiding capacity deepens. Over time I bring my lived experience, my intuitive ability to read patterns and your Human Design chart as a practical lens – helping you understand not just where you are, but how you are naturally wired to move forward.
What results can I expect?
Every session is led by what’s alive for you in the moment – what you’re feeling, facing or curious to explore. Together we’ll clarify what you’re hoping for and why it matters, then work with your body’s whole system to uncover what wants to be known for that outcome to become possible.
What you experience will be unique to you but here’s what clients consistently notice:
- A sense of being truly seen, met and understood
- A safety in the body that many haven’t felt in a long time
- Clarity around something that felt foggy or stuck
- A quiet but unmistakeable shift in how they feel, how they’re holding something or how they see themselves
- A sense of lightness and a renewed sense of what they need, what’s next and how to get there
Working together over time and with consistency the deeper changes emerge. You begin to understand your nervous system, loosen long-standing patterns and rebuild trust in yourself. The exhaustion starts to lift. The boundaries get stronger. The voice gets clearer.
The body knows. This work helps you listen.
What does working together look like and does online really work?
Sessions are held online via Google Meet – accessible wherever you are in the world. Face-to-face sessions are also available on request in Edinburgh. All you need is a quiet space, a device I can see you clearly on from the waist up and enough room to move if the session calls for it.
This work asks one thing above everything else – that you show up. Not perfectly. Not resourced. Just honestly. Everything else follows from that. To get the most from our time together I ask that you:
- Show up on time and check your tech in advance
- Have space to move — sessions may include gentle movement or body-based practices
- Complete a simple coaching agreement before we begin
- Let me know as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule
- Arrive with an open mind and a genuine willingness to listen to what arises
And if you’re wondering whether online sessions can really create that depth of connection the answer is yes. Clients report feeling safe, grounded and deeply held from the very first session, regardless of where they are in the world.
The more you bring to the process, the more powerful it becomes.
How much does it cost and how do I get started?
Full pricing is on the Work With Me page – you’ll find everything you need there to choose the option that feels right for you.
Prices are currently kept accessible while I establish my practice. This is a genuine opportunity to work at this depth with someone who has lived what you’re living and trained specifically to guide you through it for a fraction of what this work will cost in future.
If you’re considering it – now is a good time to begin.
To get started simply reach out through the Contact page. We’ll find a time that works and begin with a free 20-minute Connection Call to explore what you’re looking for and make sure it feels aligned.
No pressure, no sales pitch, just an honest conversation.
Is this a substitute for therapy or medical treatment?
Somatic Renewal coaching can feel deeply therapeutic and transformative and it is not a substitute for clinical care. I am not a licensed therapist or medical clinician. If you are seeking support for a clinical diagnosis or mental health condition, it’s important to work with a qualified healthcare professional.
My coaching is designed to complement but not replace medical or psychological treatment.
If you’re unsure whether coaching is right for you right now, please feel free to get in touch and we can talk it through honestly.
