Nervous System & Relational Coaching
For those navigating the uncoupling process,
couples, & individuals
Stuck in a chronic survival mode or unhealthy relationship patterns?
Aka, fight, flight, freeze, +/- fawn?
We can work with that.
You are not too much. There’s nothing wrong with you. Intense emotions aren’t black holes; they’re sensations — and our bodies are designed to metabolize them.
Sessions involve a combination of solution-focused interviewing, breathwork, somatic practices, & relational/nervous system pattern mapping to help you to unwind the chronic stress, fear, & tension patterns that can keep you dysregulated, wired, and frustrated.
Coaching for individuals
In individual work, this safe, holistic (mind-body-spirit) approach strengthens your nervous system. Helpful for moving forward after stressful events and transitions, it brings mental and physical clarity while helping you to embody more ease, resilience, & joy.
Couples/Uncoupling
In couples/uncoupling work (e.g., co-parents navigating the separation process), all of the above holds true — and this, too:
A nervous system-centered lens to help you both get a clearer sense of the patterns you're engaged in, and how your nervous systems operate in response/reaction to each other -- and tools for de-escalating and co-regulating.
Practical coaching for communication that offers clarity, accountability, and transparency.
Solution-focused visioning/coaching to help you move forward with mutual goals with as much kindness and ease as possible.
In the case of uncoupling, the goal is to provide the most frictionless, mutually beneficial process possible in what’s almost inevitably a stressful process.
This work is based on the premise that you have everything you need within you to heal; my role is that of catalyst, amplifier, and guide.

Q: What can I expect in a session?
A: A trauma-aware, no judgment, meet-you-where-you’re at approach that acknowledges the impact of systemic oppression on our bodies, minds, & spirits. You can request specific modalities below, or I can draw intuitively from Mary Poppins’ bag of healing and helping approaches:

“Working with Adair has deepened my understanding of my physical and spiritual self…I have the tools to ground myself when everything feels chaotic. ..she has provided me with the tools to nurture and empower myself. I have learned the importance of balancing the need to serve myself before I am able to serve others, and those lessons have all been rooted in joy and self-worth.”
