An Introduction to Body-Centered Coaching for the Hakomi Community
with founder Marlena Field, CPCC, PCC, CBCC
Body-Centered Coaching is a unique somatic style of coaching that assists clients to embody their innate wisdom and move through disempowering beliefs, fusions and fears. It supports clients to make decisions from an integrated and aligned state of body, mind and spirit.
The fundamentals of Body-Centered Coaching are founded on the perspectives that the client has her/his own answer and their body is a resource for change. While embodying a state of empowered listening the coach can guide the client through mindful awareness to discover their own truth.
Inherent within this modality are values and skills that align with the Hakomi principles of mindfulness, present moment experience, loving presence, nonviolence, and organicity.

About Marlena Field, Founder of the Body-Centered Coaching Method:
In the spring of 1991, my dearest friend Donna Martin and I first met Ron Kurtz for a five day event at Hollyhock. I then attended a two year in person training (1991-1993) with Ron Kurtz and Jon Eisman where I met my good friend Beth Falch-Nielsen. I became a CPCC – Certified Co-Active Coach - in 2001.
Hakomi principles are foundational to my integration and the development of my Body-Centered Coaching Method. I began teaching tele-trainings and wrote Body-Centered Coaching: using the body as a resource for change in 2005. I updated the manual in 2012. . I updated it to the Complete Training Manual in 2012. I have certified both CBCC (Certified Body-Centered Coach) coaches and Body-Centered Coach Trainers.
Marlena Field has been my best friend for over 35 years. We discovered Hakomi together and we both love the focus on embodied experience. Marlena was interested in the application of Hakomi to life coaching and has brought her understanding of Hakomi along with her own unique and inspired way of being to Body-Centered Coaching. She is a dynamic and charismatic teacher and is a beautiful example of what we mean by loving presence. Marlena has a gift for inspiring others to tune into themselves deeply and to help others to find the most creative and effective expression of themselves in the world.

Marlena Field has been a friend and colleague for many years. She was a very good Hakomi therapist and when she shifted to being a coach, she found a way to bring together many aspects of her life's experiences and trainings. Her Body-Centered Coaching is a wonderful blend of using a somatic, mindfulness approach to coaching. I have seen her work grow and expand and her reputation and respect as a coach and trainer deepen. I highly endorse her work and trainings for those people who have studied Hakomi and would like to either add coaching to what they do, or shift from therapy to coaching: also for anyone who would like to coach the whole person in a somatically, mindfulness based way.
