Ian Stratton

Hi, I'm Ian.

I'm a Somatic Coach.

In my coaching work, I use an engineer's mindset to find the core mechanisms under your unique set of patterns and build a clear model to accomplish your goals. This informs the roadmap of our work and makes it easy to track your progress, so you always know what we're doing and why it's working.

I work with high-performers who have success, but aren't feeling that way internally. Drawing from my own experience of being overly-cerebral and emotionally underdeveloped, people often report I am uniquely talented at helping bridge this gap.

I bring a very particular set of skills: IFS, somatics, breathwork, guided journeys, and integrative coaching. I choose these tools for two reasons: they're the most powerful ones available, and simple enough to teach.

And I train you as we go. Every tool we use, you take home to use on your own. This empowers you and helps me reach my goal - to become obsolete as quickly as possible.
