Areas of Expertise
While somatic coaching is useful for a wide variety of situations and people, these are some areas where Deepika has unique depth of experience:
-
Leadership and Self-Agency: Stepping into leadership is challenging, confronting, and an opportunity to stretch yourself in new ways. It's an opportunity to show up with clarity, power, and presence as you move yourself and those around you forward.
-
Imposter Syndrome & People Pleasing: Understanding all the ways we undermine ourselves with self-doubt and give our power away to others, and finding our way back to the seat of inner trust and power.
-
Emotional Reactivity: Many of us have emotional imbalances that show up as anger issues, floods of tears, panic attacks, or feeling overwhelmed by our emotional reactions to challenging situations. Working directly with these patterns in the body creates new pathways for healthy emotional expression.
-
Heartache, Loss, and Stuck Grief: Our heart carries the scars of the heartbreaks and losses of our life, and sometimes it gets stuck, not knowing how to move forward without abandoning our commitment to love. There is a way to integrate grief and tap back into the wellspring of love and connection within us.
-
Team and Relational Dynamics: A decade of working with teams and organizations as co-founder of Aurum Leadership gives Deepika a unique ability to untangle messy dynamics between people. She helps unearth and clear the issues and unleash the potential of a relationship, team or group.

How to Work with Deepika

Individual Coaching
Sessions
An individual session with Deepika is a quiet, focused space to meet what's actually alive in you, through the body, not just the mind. You leave with more clarity, more room to breathe, and a tangible shift in how you're carrying yourself through your life.

Awake & Alive
Breath Circles
Breathwork and somatic coaching in a small group setting. A process to loosen the blocks and tensions that are stuck in your body. In these circles, each person receives an individual Pulsation bioenergetic breathwork session from the facilitator.

Transformation
Intensive
The Coaching Intensive is an in-person, full-day experience, designed to go deep and move something significant.
For those at a crossroads, or simply ready for a deep dive, a day together can open doors that may take weeks or months to reach otherwise.
