*Bodymind

noun

1. Bodymind is the living unity of body and mind, recognising that thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are embodied processes that arise through the whole organism, not just the brain.

Feeling stuck is not inevitable!

Do you already understand yourself well, but still feel stuck?

Often, the issue isn’t insight or motivation. Change challenges something deeper — your identity, the roles you’ve adapted to, and the patterns your body has learned to stay safe.

That’s why I don’t work at the level of strategy or behaviour alone.

As a somatic coach, I pay attention not only to your thoughts, but also to your lived, embodied experience — your emotions, your sense of aliveness, and the subtle impulses that arise in the moment. By staying with these experiences, we begin to access a deeper inner knowing that arises through the body and often holds the key to lasting transformation.

Alongside this embodied work, we explore the psychological and relational forces shaping your life.

The aim isn’t self-optimisation.

It’s coherence — so your thinking, values and actions align, and change feels grounded rather than forced.

Michael de la Bedoyere is an ICF level 2 certified Somatic Coach and a DCV-certified Systemic Coach, with further training in Anti-Burnout & Resilience Coaching, Jobcoaching, Neurodiversity in Coaching (ICF), Coaching Outdoors (ICF).

The People I Work With

I work with thoughtful, self-aware people who are ready to question themselves — not just their circumstances. Some clients arrive with clear goals, others with a sense of stuckness. What they share is a willingness to look inward and a readiness for real development.

Using an embodied approach, we explore both your thinking and the intelligence of your body so change feels natural, grounded, and sustainable.

I can help you:

  • Clarify what you truly want — beyond expectation or pressure

  • See the patterns that keep repeating in your life

  • Work through self-doubt and inner conflict

  • Make decisions that feel grounded and aligned

  • Navigate change without overwhelming your nervous system

  • Reconnect with a sense of direction and vitality

Sometimes we focus on practical steps. Sometimes we go deeper. Most often, we do both — in a way that feels natural and sustainable.

Wonderful — thank you!

  • Many thanks Michael, for the incredible impact your coaching is having on my life. You helped me to shift my mindset after going through a burnout during my unemployment, when I felt completely lost and unsure of how to rebuild my confidence and navigate my job search in a healthy way.

    Juan Carlos Rosa Casasola

  • Michael's holistic approach to career coaching allowed us to explore the patterns in my professional history and skillset, but also dig deeply into the mental blocks and ineffective coping mechanisms I had developed over the years. Michael created a space for me to explore these concepts whilst challenging them when necessary and offering tools to allow me to tackle them myself moving forward.

    Helen FitzGerald

  • As my career coach Michael provided me with the tailored resources I needed to overcome the career change I am currently going through. His multidisciplinary and creative approach greatly helped me overcome some deep rooted blocking mindsets I had, take this whole career ordeal much more lightly and be ok with experimenting stuff while letting go. As a matter of fact, Michael will accompany you in deconstructing whatever is stopping you from being more aligned with yourself.

    Timothée Mouchard

  • Working with Michael as my career coach was a great adventure. The few months of our cooperation gave me more than I expected.

    Dr. Sabrina Satzinger

  • I had the privilege of working with Michael as my job coach, and I cannot express enough how transformative and invaluable the experience has been. One of the most precious, individualistic qualities of Michael, I believe is his ability to create a personalized and targeted approach. Rather than employing a one-size-fits-all methodology, he took the time to understand my unique strengths, challenges, and even peculiarities. This did not only make me feel particularly seen and heard, but also laid the foundation for a coaching journey that blossomed with attentiveness, respect and a lot of care.

    Galatia Ioanno

  • I felt truly heard and seen by Michael. He’s a very attentive and empathetic coach who gently guides the process and knows how to focus on what really matters in the moment. He has a great sense for choosing the right methods at the right time and for finding the right pace for each process. Through the coaching, I’ve started to believe in myself again. I now have a clearer sense of how I can follow my own path — not just take any job, but actually live my calling. Michael’s coaching helped me reconnect with my feelings and regain clarity about what I truly want

    Marie Klenke

  • I felt I could really open up during the coaching with Michael, and even when we touched on difficult topics, we were often able to find lightness and humor together. Thank you, Michael, for your empathetic and open-minded way of being. The coaching was both enjoyable and deeply valuable for me — it helped me regain confidence in myself and in my future professional path. Thanks to Michael, I’ve learned that it’s okay to feel stressed or overwhelmed sometimes.
