For women who are extraordinarily capable… and completely exhausted by it.
Somatic Integration & Emotional Coaching for High-Capacity Women
You’ve handled everything.
The career. The family. The hard seasons. The decisions no one else would make. You’ve been the one people count on for so long that you’ve lost track of what it feels like to count on yourself.
Something has shifted. Or maybe it’s been shifting for years, and you’ve been too busy to stop and notice. You’re not falling apart. You’re changing. And the life that used to fit - doesn’t, quite, anymore.
This is not a crisis. This is an invitation.
Does any of this sound familiar?
You’re tired in a way that sleep doesn’t touch.
Your body keeps asking for attention - aches, twinges, something that just doesn’t feel ‘right’ - and you keep promising to deal with it later.
You’re good at what you do. You just can’t remember the last time doing it felt like you.
You know what you need to change. You’ve read the books. You’ve tried the things. But none of it sticks.
You feel disconnected, like an observer in your own life.
You feel stuck in your head, emotionally numb but functional.
When you’re not overthinking everything, you’re second-guessing yourself.
You don’t need someone to tell you what’s wrong with you.
You need someone who can meet you where you genuinely are, and help you find your way from there.
You don’t need a crisis to deserve support.
You do not need to keep trying to solve this alone.
The work:
body-first coaching for women over 45
I work at the level where change actually happens: the body.
Body-first coaching focuses not just on what you think, but on what you carry, where you hold it, and what your nervous system has been quietly organizing your life around.
Not because the mind doesn’t matter - but because most women who come to me have already done years of excellent cognitive work. They can name their patterns with precision. But they still can’t get the knowledge to land below the neck.
That’s where somatic integration comes in.
Together, we work with what your nervous system has been holding - the old strategies, the chronic tension, the decisions made from survival rather than choice. We work with your emotional truth, not around it. We move at the pace your system can actually integrate, not how the internet would like you to transform.
This is not about fixing yourself. You are not broken.
This is about coming home to a self you may have been managing from a disconnected place for a very long time.
I often tell my clients: it gets to be easy. Not because the work isn't real. But because ease is what happens when you stop living in your body from a distance.
The Return Code™️
The process underneath the work
However we work together — a single session, three months, or six — the work follows the same living process. Not a curriculum. Not a checklist. Five movements that unfold in the order your system is ready for them.
Clarity — not forced. The kind that arrives when you finally stop long enough to let it.
Listening — to the part of you that has been trying to get your attention for years.
Examination — gentle and honest. Just looking at what's actually there, without the shame spiral.
Action — small and real. Not the action you think you should take. The one that's actually yours.
Return — not back to who you were. Forward into who you've always been underneath the managing.*
My job is to know which movement is alive for you in any given session — and to follow that, rather than a plan.
Hi, I’m Loralee
I'm a somatic integration coach helping high-capacity women reconnect with themselves at the level where it actually sticks: the body.
My work blends somatic (body) awareness, emotional integration, and honest conversation.
I’ve been doing this privately since 2012. I’m a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, a Functional Movement Trainer, and a Yoga Teacher.
I’m also a mom, a partner, a friend, a daughter, a sister, and a neighbor.
I know what it is to hold a lot together while something essential quietly breaks down.
That is not a character flaw; it’s a pattern.
And patterns can change.
I’m not here to tell you who to become.
I’m here to help you remember what you already know.
In their words
“There are very, very few coaches who deeply listen without waiting to respond. Listen without interrupting. Listen without their brains chattering away about anything the client has said. Loralee does that. Some coaches will stop you mid-story to tell you, “I have good news, you don’t HAVE to do anything!” Loralee doesn’t do any of that.
If you are looking for a gentle, wise, but fun coach who sees you, really hears you, and has a gentle questioning style that allows you to relax and find your answers, stop now and book with Loralee. Her wide base of knowledge, luminous way of being, and her seeming lack of judgment make her the coach you need for whatever you are working through.”

“Working with Loralee was a game changer. I have struggled deeply with how I feel and talk about my body for a very long time and was ready to create new habits around that. Every session with Loralee offered a safe space to explore my deep-seated patterns and incredibly valuable tools and exercises to put into practice to begin changing those habits.
Instead of just giving advice, Loralee gently guided me to find the actions myself that I thought would be most impactful for this change. Literally after one session, I already found myself feeling excited and more loving toward myself and couldn't wait for each additional session, which continued to give me new respect for my body and practices to keep the work going. I can't recommend Loralee enough!”

Working with Loralee helped me uncover some deep stories I didn’t realize were keeping me exhausted. Her approach is kind but direct and really helps you think about yourself in a new way!! I cannot thank her enough for the growth I experienced! I highly recommend working with her!

Ways to work together
Inhale
A single 2-hour somatic integration intensive
Something has cracked open - a diagnosis, a divorce, an ending, an unexpected beginning - and you need more than conversation. You need a place to put it down and catch your breath.
This is a complete, contained experience with a clear arc. You will leave with more than clarity. You will leave with something that has moved in your body. You will leave different than you arrived.
The Pause
A 3-month private container
The open moment between inhale and exhale. Three months of weekly work in the space where the real you lives.
We meet weekly, 60 minutes, unhurried and body-first. Not to analyze what's automatic — to find the space just before it moves, and to practice, again and again, the simple act of choosing.
This is where the knowing moves from your head into your body.
Softening. Metabolizing. Becoming.
Exhale
A 6-month private container
For women ready to stay.
We meet on a consistent rhythm, starting with weekly sessions and moving to twice-monthly, 90-minute sessions as your system integrates. Unhurried, body-first, following your actual process rather than a curriculum.
This is the kind of change that lasts because it happens inside your actual life — not alongside it. This is where you finally get to put it down — and let it be easy.
Not a program. A partnership.
You don’t need more pressure.
You need space to hear yourself again.
