About your coach
Hi, I'm Charyn. I'm glad you're here.
I believe good coaching should feel more like being deeply heard and understood than being told what to do.
My style is gentle, down-to-earth and supportive. I draw on evidence-informed coaching tools, nervous-system awareness, body-based practices, mindful reflection and compassionate curiosity.
I'm particularly interested in those moments when the problem we first notice isn't quite the whole story.
I love helping people recognise patterns, question expectations and discover small changes that feel meaningful, manageable and genuinely theirs.
My hope is that you leave coaching not with more instructions, but with greater clarity, self-understanding and trust in your own choices.
A note about coaching
Coaching is collaborative and future-focused. It can complement therapeutic or medical support but does not replace therapy, diagnosis or treatment.
A gentle invitation
I'm welcoming a small number of practice clients.
I'm currently training as a health and wellbeing coach and would love to work with a small number of people who are curious about experiencing The Gentle Return.
You don't need to know exactly what you want to work on.
Feeling that something could be different is enough of a place to begin.
You can use the enquiry form to tell me a little about yourself and ask about current practice-client arrangements.
Before you enquire
You might be wondering...
Do I need a clear coaching goal?
Not at all. We can begin with whatever is feeling difficult, noisy or stuck. Finding clarity is often part of the process.
Will you tell me what to do?
No. Coaching is collaborative. I'll bring questions, reflection and supportive tools, while you remain the expert in your own life.
Is coaching therapy?
No. Coaching can complement medical or therapeutic care but isn't a replacement for either.
What happens after I enquire?
Complete the short enquiry form and I'll be in touch to discuss what you're looking for and whether coaching feels like a good fit.
Am I committing to coaching by completing the form?
No. The enquiry is simply the first step towards a friendly, no-pressure conversation.
Your next small step
Does this feel like you? Let's begin gently.
You don't need to have everything worked out. You don't need the perfect words.
If something here has resonated, I'd love to hear from you.

A space to soften
Welcome to my Seomra
Seomra (pronounced approximately SHOH-mruh) is the Irish word for “room”. Mine is a quiet space dedicated to slowing down, feeling supported and stepping away from the demands of everyday life.
Warm, private and thoughtfully prepared, it's a place where you can arrive as you are. There is no need to rush or explain away your need for rest — this time is yours.

Welcome to
Soma & Soul
Come as you are.
Leave a little more whole.
I'm a massage therapist, yoga teacher and somatic healing practitioner - and I founded Soma & Soul to hold space for all seasons of womanhood.
The way I support others is shaped by my own journey — through the burnout of corporate life, the upheaval of becoming a mother, and the gradual (and still ongoing) return to myself — one step, one breath at a time.With many years of training and practice in Yoga, Massage and SomaticsI bring a trauma-informed approach to my classes, treatments, circles and 1:1 work, along with warmth, humour and a deep care for how people actually feel in the room.
My approach
Classes for Women & Mothers
A soft place to land. A calm space to come home to yourself.
Supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and the tender postpartum season is deeply personal to me. These classes are shaped by my own journey through motherhood, my work in yoga, massage, and somatics, and a belief that every woman deserves care that honours her changing body, nervous system, and soul.
