Somatic Coaching in Beirut, Lebanon
The most intelligent women I know are completely disconnected from their own bodies. And it's costing them everything that actually matters.
I'm Nour Hejase, a certified Integrative Somatic Practitioner based in Beirut. I work with women who are successful on paper and exhausted underneath: the capable one, the one everyone relies on, the one who can analyze every feeling and still can't feel at ease.
What somatic work actually is
Somatic work starts from a simple premise: your nervous system holds patterns your mind can't think its way out of. Anxiety, perfectionism, overthinking, people-pleasing and the inability to rest aren't only mindset problems. They are learned states in the body.
In our sessions, we work with breath, posture, sensation and movement alongside honest, rigorous conversation. You learn to notice what your body is doing, why, and how to shift it. The change becomes something you feel, not just something you understand.
No vague promises. If you're skeptical of wellness culture, good. So am I.
Who this is for
Women in demanding careers (corporate, NGOs, government, tech, healthcare) who are high-functioning and quietly burnt out
People who have done years of talk-based self-work and still feel stuck in the same loops
Anyone who struggles to rest, set boundaries or make decisions from a place of calm rather than pressure

FAQ
Is Somatic Coaching Therapy?
No. Somatic coaching isn't psychotherapy or medical treatment, and it doesn't replace either. Many clients work with me alongside a therapist, because body-based work can unlock what talk alone doesn't reach.
Do I need yoga or meditation experience?
None. You need curiosity and the willingness to pay attention to yourself honestly.
Are sessions available online?
Yes. If you're outside Beirut or travel often, sessions run online as well.
What happens in a first session?
We talk about what you want to change, then work directly with your body's patterns around it. You leave with at least one practice you can use the same day.
