About Me
I'm Imani, a Black British woman of Caribbean heritage, born and raised in the West Midlands.
Like all of us, I am shaped by the people, places, experiences, and communities that have shaped my journey. Some stories have been passed down to me, some I have consciously chosen, and others I am still learning from. I feel particularly drawn to working alongside those navigating the complexities of social injustice; people doing meaningful, often challenging work who want to create change while also finding ways to care for themselves.
My Work
I'm a trauma-informed somatic coach, facilitator, and systems change practitioner. My work sits at the intersection of social justice, wellbeing, and embodied leadership, supporting people to lead, live, and work in ways that are more aligned, grounded, and sustainable.
I’m recently completed my 200-hour trauma-informed yoga teacher training, which continues to deepen my understanding of the body as a place of wisdom, resilience, and transformation.
I’m curious about relationships and belonging—particularly the tension between fitting in and truly belonging, and how we choose to take up space, or not. I’m interested in the ways our bodies, relationships, and environments shape how we move through the world.
I believe wellbeing cannot be separated from the wider social, organisational, and cultural contexts we live and work within, and at the heart of my work is a belief that meaningful change happens when we reconnect with ourselves, strengthen our relationships, and create the conditions for more just and sustainable ways of being together.
My coaching and facilitation are rooted in embodiment, relational practice, and experiential learning. Together, we'll explore not just what's happening in your mind, but how your body holds patterns, responds to challenge, and points towards new possibilities.
I draw on established body-centred, trauma-informed, and systemic approaches to support nervous system resilience, helping you cultivate more presence, creativity, joy, and choice in how you live, work, and lead.
No two sessions are the same. Rather than offering quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions, I create reflective and creative experiences that help you discover your own insights. You might be invited to explore the seeds you want to sow, the footprints you want to leave behind, what keeps you grounded, or the thorns that are holding you back. My sessions are spacious, practical, and gently challenging. Alongside conversation, we may work with embodied awareness, breathwork, movement, visualisation, creative reflection, metaphor, or nature-based practices—always at a pace that feels safe and supportive.
Together, we'll strengthen your capacity to navigate change, deepen your self-awareness, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and connection to what matters most.
My approach
My Coaching Approach
My coaching approach is grounded in an integrative understanding of behaviour, embodied experience and sustainable change. I draw on somatic coaching practices, nervous-system education, reflective inquiry and approaches to behavioural change to help clients develop greater awareness, choice and capacity.
Rather than focusing solely on goals or strategies, we explore the relationship between what you want to change, how you respond under pressure, and the patterns that may be shaping your choices.
My approach is organised around four interconnected areas:
Seed — Intention & Vision
Every process begins with clarity.
We explore what you want, why it matters, and what you are moving towards. Rather than immediately moving into action, we create space to understand your intentions and consider whether your goals are genuinely aligned with your values, needs and lived experience.
This provides a clear foundation for meaningful and sustainable change.
Footprints — Patterns & Somatic Awareness
Our present responses are shaped by our experiences, environments and learned patterns.
Here, we develop greater awareness of how you respond to situations, relationships, uncertainty and challenge. Through reflective and somatic inquiry, we notice recurring patterns, signals and behaviours, creating more choice around how you respond.
The aim is not to analyse the past for its own sake, but to understand what is influencing the present and use that awareness to support different choices.
Anchor — Regulation & Resourcing
Sustainable change requires more than insight. It also requires the capacity to stay present with ourselves as we navigate uncertainty, challenge and growth.
We identify the practices, relationships, environments and embodied resources that support steadiness and groundedness. Over time, this can strengthen your ability to recognise your responses, work with activation and return to a more resourced state.
The focus is on developing practical capacity rather than seeking constant calm or eliminating difficult emotions.
Thorns — Challenges & Protective Patterns
Resistance, avoidance, perfectionism, overworking and other patterns can often serve a purpose, even when they are no longer particularly helpful.
Rather than treating these responses as problems to overcome, we approach them with curiosity. We explore what they may be responding to, what they are trying to protect, and what might be needed for greater flexibility.
This creates an opportunity to work with challenges rather than against them — developing greater self-understanding, choice and integration.
The Formula
Intention + Awareness + Regulation + Curiosity = Sustainable Change
The four areas work together rather than as a linear process. We may move between them depending on what you are experiencing and what the coaching relationship requires.
The goal is not simply to achieve an outcome, but to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and greater capacity to navigate change with awareness, agency and choice.
