“I was looking to discover what it means to be more grounded in my body. I found that I would get stuck in my own head. Thomas helped me to get in touch with my body by really slowing things down, getting me to connect with the feelings, and the sensations, without judging myself. I have a greater understanding and process to be able to notice my connection to my body through sensations which allows me to participate and allow for the emotional charge just simply to pass through my body. He was very patient, understanding, and helped to facilitate a sacred space where I could be fully present, seen, and heard. Truly an amazing and grounding experience!”
- Sean, Marketing & Sales
“I have always struggled getting in relationship with my body. When I heard about Thomas and his background, I was intrigued to learn more and see if his experience and expertise with somatic work would benefit me.
After more than 6 months of working with Thomas, I can say that I have gained more confidence in accessing the wisdom within my own body. Trusting myself has not always come easy, and through the many explorative exercises during my time with Thomas, I can say that I have more skill in listening to what my body is communicating and using it to inform future decisions and actions - and at many times, inaction (the need to do nothing but let things be as they are).
Thomas has a natural way of being curious and intuitive that allows him to ask insightful questions that lead to deeper exploration in his coaching sessions. I always felt safe when exploring challenging or uncomfortable emotions or body sensations.
I would recommend anyone who is considering getting more in touch with their body to consider working with Thomas!”
- Mark, Director of Training and Curriculum, & Integral Coach
“I’m an Integral Coach and thought I was doing well in the space of Somatic awareness. My coach training and continuing development work has taught me a lot about it. But I’ve learned about it in my head as knowledge, not experienced it in my body – until now.
I hired Thomas to help me learn how to move through my life in a more embodied way. Five years ago, I went through my own difficult physical journey. Before leaving the corporate world to start my coaching practice, my self-worth was defined by a demanding career that no longer served me. For nearly two decades I worked with Fortune 500 companies to recruit top-level talent, managing global recruiting teams but years of 60+ hour work weeks and constant travel left me feeling burnt out, physically depleted, and detached from my own life’s calling. I have been through five major surgeries in five years, which has left me wanting to leave my physical body and not deal with all the pain and healing. I found myself often just wanting to escape and not deal with any of it.
When I started with Thomas, I wanted to focus on getting out of my head and into my body more. I wanted to take on surrender as my intent for the year, as it related to what was happening in my body and my fear. I was playing small in my practice because I couldn’t trust my body to show up for me.
Working with Thomas opened my eyes to a whole new way of being! I was telling myself that I was broken and not good enough. With his guidance and support this is no longer my internal messaging. I’ve learned how to center myself when those negative internal messages want to play. I honor my needs and am unapologetic for saying Yes to me!”
- Lori, Integral Coach and Burnout Survivor
“I worked with Thomas almost exclusively over video for about 5 months. I approached his coaching with curiosity and questions, and maybe a little bit of skepticism. But Thomas consistently offered his somatic coaching no matter how often I attempted to veer off course.
From our work together I have a much deeper appreciation not only of what my body is telling me, but also how I can use my body to manifest change. I learned several techniques that I can carry on beyond my work with Thomas including the ability to center, face conflict, and soften in order to openly receive others and connect.
Thomas is very thoughtful and considerate—key qualities of any coach. And he is able to offer his insights in a welcoming manner.” - Cindy, Executive and Transition Coach
“I have been fortunate to have had Thomas as my somatic coach this year. During our coaching sessions, he met me where I was at and shared some very useful and powerful practices that I will be practicing for a while.
He is clearly committed to this work and passionate about his clients evidenced by how he shows up in our time together. Skillful, attuned, present and able to play along with whatever comes up.
As a result of my time with Thomas, I feel more integrated with my body and how I show up in this world. I was particularly impacted by a challenging moment last year and after spending an hour with Thomas, I was able to shift into a more powerful and centered way of being. Thank you, Thomas!” - Joy, Executive and Leadership Coach
“To say that I have been transformed through my relationship with Thomas would be an understatement. I came to him to sharpen my leadership skills, and we ended up generating completely new vocabularies of being that cut across my personal, social, cultural, and, yes, professional life. But it wasn't always easy. When situations emerged like a raging tempest, Thomas helped me re-center by trusting the lessons and wisdom of my experience, including those aspects of experience that were sedimented and too deep to till on my own. What I am most grateful for, however, is Thomas's way of modeling leadership. It led me to question the very meaning of the term and how it mediates the many infrastructures that enkindle personal and collective belonging. "Moving between the terms that mediate our existence," educational theorist Tanya Titchkosky writes, "invites us to wonder about belonging. Who are we when we belong, and where?" Working with Thomas supported my own investigation into who I am when I belong, how my felt-sense of belonging emerges, and what external conditions sustain and regenerate belonging for me and those I lead. When I came to Thomas, I wanted change. And, through a thoughtful, participatory process, I now have embodied vocabularies to enact change every day. Transformation—within and throughout.” - Josh, Author, Activist, Designer
“Thomas really helped me see my life choices in a new and different way - it was critical for me especially during the stressful and taxing changes during COVID-19.” - Garth, Environmental Consulting firm Co-Owner
"Thomas Rosenberg was my integral coach for about 3 months and I would absolutely work with Thomas again. Having never had an Integral Coach before, I was initially hesitant, but Thomas really helped me open up. Thomas really helped me get out of my comfort zone. I can be very "Type A" and Thomas helped me understand my needs, how to communicate them, and how to deal with them better. He encouraged me to try new things to live life more fully. I continue to use practices I worked on with Thomas every day and I look forward to working with him again in the future." - Annie, Tech Product Manager
"I worked with Thomas in a personal coaching capacity for 6 months. The headline of that experience is that I've worked with a few coaches over the years and this was by far my most enriching experience. But the real story of our interactions requires reading past the headline. I didn't feel like I was being "coached" at all, rather just had the opportunity to touch base with an old friend for interesting conversation and self-exploration as we move through our respective lives. Thomas helped me to see the critical nature of self-care and rejuvenation, the importance of ritual, and the pivotal role that thankfulness plays in a balanced life. He recognized me as a holistic, complicated, and sometimes irrational person rather than just a professional with a job title. All along, he was learning how I learn and tailoring his approach to my style and what I was experiencing at the time at home or at the office. Would highly recommend Thomas to anyone interested in exploring the opportunity to become their best self!" - Greg, Tech Strategic Finance
"Thomas is a thoughtful and effective leadership coach. I worked with him over the course of ten sessions and had an excellent experience. He invested a tremendous amount of time and energy into our conversations, coming back with thought-provoking questions and tools for me to use. He was immediately perceptive about some tangible areas where I could focus some of my energy, and then slowly worked up to some bigger themes and questions to consider. I would highly recommend working with Thomas for anyone who's open to coaching." - Charlie, Tech Public Policy
“Thomas is much more than just a business or executive coach. While I ultimately picked Thomas for the calming presence he exhibits, Thomas helped me to be a more effective decision maker and make more of an impact at work. By working with Thomas I was able to help my company grow more efficiently and ultimately get acquired! I would highly recommend Thomas as an Executive Coach to anyone looking to find more balance or find ways to achieve more in work or your personal life.”
