EMBODIED LEADERSHIP

Leadership From Within.

Pic of Elizabeth Mehta, Somatic Practitioner

Welcome! I’m Elizabeth Mehta.

My goal at Sound Somatics is to help deepen your leadership abilities. This way, your impact can be even more meaningful in your organization and community.

To make this happen, I offer an alternative approach to leadership development. It’s grounded in somatics.

Somatics appreciates that how we show up in our leadership and in our lives is profoundly influenced by our bodies.

Our bodies hold onto stress, emotions, unconscious beliefs, and trauma*. They also connect us to our intuition, purpose, and wisdom.

As a result, somatics offers a potent - and often untapped - approach to becoming a more effective leader and cultivating personal growth.

  • Words from Rose C:

    “I have been working with Elizabeth now for a few months and am astonished to feel and see how the work that she facilitates has shifted my life on a very deep level.

    I have enjoyed experiencing her craniosacral work as well as somatic coaching, and have benefited immensely from both.

    I especially have enjoyed her somatic coaching sessions. They are convenient due to the sessions being virtual, and have been powerful in healing past trauma and understanding my own body and what it tries to teach me and in how it protects me.

    I can't recommend Elizabeth enough, and have appreciated her joyful, encouraging, and uplifting attitude in supporting me in shaping and creating the boundaries and understanding I want in my life.”

  • Words from Annika K:

    “Elizabeth is a highly skilled bodyworker who my body completely trusts. Her craniosacral therapy is deeply rejuvenating for me, and I am so grateful that she can guide my mind and body into the deepest states of receptivity and relaxation.

    In this state, my body will send waves of energy through my spine. While I’m not 100% certain of how or why this energy moves, my intuition tells me that it helps my spirit inhabit my body more fully, unwinding, cleansing, and re-calibrating the deepest unconscious patterns and programs that my cell memories hold.

    I highly recommend working with Elizabeth not only because of her amazing skill sets, but because [Elizabeth] deeply understands how to honor the unfolding of a human body and mind in an unimposing way that makes you feel deeply held and cared for.”

  • Words from Judy C:

    “Elizabeth helped me identify what my body’s response was to certain thoughts or emotions and it was mind boggling! This work helped me delve into myself in a way I hadn’t experienced before. The connection of mind and body is so underrated and desperately needed in our ongoing journey of self.”

  • Words from JC:

    “When I am in a stressful situation, my body often betrays me. My breathing feels constricted, my mind feels fuzzy. I feel tension in my neck and back; sometimes I feel fatigued, irritated, or overwhelmed. I am unable to tap into all that knowledge that is stored in my brain to change my present situation. It’s left me wondering: what can I do to calm my mind in the moment? Is there something I can do to shift my body to help me think differently?

    That’s where Elizabeth’s work comes in. She takes a holistic approach to leadership. It’s a somatic approach that has the same roots in somatic therapy — a form of body-centered therapy that looks at the connection of mind and body and uses both psychotherapy and physical therapies for holistic healing. This approach makes a ton of sense to me.

    Elizabeth helps you improve how you feel in your body ... and teaches you the techniques you need to improve your physical and mental wellbeing. The idea is that our body is the channel to our mind. When you improve your mental wellbeing, you can show up the way you want to show up in any situation.

    To me, that’s the holy grail of leadership.”
