Hi there, I’m Rachel Kraft.
I’m here to help you thrive while navigating the ups and downs of your life, career, and relationships.
With more than seven years of experience as a somatic healer, I have dedicated my work to helping men and women integrate, heal, and flourish.
Breathwork facilitator and somatic coach.
Real relief begins when you feel safe in your own body. From there, clarity, confidence, and choice naturally follow.
The Story Behind the Work.
My journey into this work began with my own.
For years, I struggled with anxiety, confidence, relationships, and feeling truly connected to myself. After experiencing profound loss, I began exploring new ways of understanding healing, eventually discovering breathwork, somatics, mindfulness, and the mind-body connection.
What started as a personal journey became a much deeper curiosity about the ways our experiences live within us and what becomes possible when we learn to meet ourselves with awareness, compassion, and a greater sense of safety.
Over the years, that curiosity has led me to train extensively in trauma-informed somatic work, breathwork, nervous system education, parts work, and other mind-body approaches, while guiding women through their own experiences of healing, self-discovery, and growth.
Today, my work is rooted in a simple belief: you don't need to become someone new. You need space to reconnect with who you already are.
Through somatic experiences, breathwork, education, and conversation, I create spaces for women to slow down, listen inward, understand themselves more deeply, and build a more connected relationship with their mind and body.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Somatic coaching is a body-based approach to personal growth and emotional wellbeing. Instead of focusing only on thoughts, somatic work helps you become aware of physical sensations, nervous system responses, and emotional patterns stored in the body. This process supports greater self-regulation, emotional processing, and a deeper connection between mind and body.
-
In a somatic breathwork session, we use guided breathing techniques alongside body awareness and gentle coaching. Sessions typically include time to check in, guided breathwork, and space to reflect and integrate what arises. Many people experience emotional release, increased clarity, and a greater sense of calm in their nervous system.
-
Somatic coaching can support people navigating anxiety, chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and patterns of burnout or people-pleasing. It can also help individuals deepen self-awareness, build emotional resilience, and develop tools for nervous system regulation in everyday life.
-
Sessions are available both in person in Long Beach, NY and virtually for clients worldwide. Many clients choose virtual sessions because somatic practices and breathwork translate very well to online sessions.
-
Somatic coaching is for individuals who are curious about the connection between their body, emotions, and nervous system. It is especially supportive for people who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety or overthinking and want to develop a more grounded relationship with themselves and their emotions.
