I met Meryl in person first without even knowing she offered coaching sessions, and immediately felt wonderful energy radiating through her in our conversation. It was an absolute pleasure to eventually get to do a discovery session with her and let her guide me through exploring a very challenging life decision.
Our session left me on a new path and a new way of thinking about things. This is something I'm still experiencing as I write this, two weeks after the session. I have lots of unanswered questions but I feel that talking with Meryl gave me a powerful method of looking for answers within me. However, one thing there is definitely no question about is that I want to talk with her again :D !
Meryl is so passionate in her belief for each person’s goodness, and she creates a feeling of safety and security in the session - it made me feel comfortable to open up, to be seen, and offered the opportunity to be brave in what I chose to share. Her questions were insightful, and gave me a new perspective to reconsider what I had always taken as gospel
I was introduced to lovely Meryl via a good friend at a time that happened to be very challenging - returning to work after a second maternity leave and to a career that had never made me happy. From our very first conversation, we connected instantly and I felt so uplifted. Meryl’s guidance gave me the courage to embrace the unknown, helping me feel braver and more open to change. Taking that step is something I am very proud of and I feel immensely grateful to Meryl for all of her support. It will be remembered always!
I very much recommend coaching sessions with Meryl. She combines the principles of traditional coaching with both a somatic approach and visual tools. This makes it a holistic experience with even greater opportunities for powerful insights. I loved how she led me through embodied experiences and regularly tapped into what I was feeling in my body. It helped me really "feel my thoughts" and the cognitive processes that emerged during the session. What I enjoyed the most were the visual representations of our conversation using AI. The symbolism and metaphoric approach suit my way of looking at situations, ideas, and challenges. The visuals also helped me remember the conversation and the key takeaways. I appreciate how Meryl delicately creates a safe space for personal exploration and her very careful and precise use of language. I'm very grateful to Meryl for her inspiring and impactful practice.
'Feeling thoughts' - such a great way to put it! Thank you for capturing this Anne Claire. You are an inspiration in the work that you do in the art therapy realm. Lucky to know you!
Meryl was recommended by a valued friend so I was keen to try her sessions. Being completely stuck at work having no way out of the physical pain it was causing me I knew that regular counselling wasn’t going to work for me this time round. I had lost a vital connection to my body which Meryl very cleverly, through props, imagery and gentle digging, helped me with the first steps in rebalancing mind and body. It was invaluable.
Since then I have also have a fantastic couples session given to us as a genius wedding present, and taken an end of year review session. It’s lovely to know Meryl is here to help
I have had the absolute pleasure of having numerous sessions with Meryl which have brought me so much clarity and also trust in my own body and in myself!
Meryl is incredibly skilled and also very intuitive, always with the right prompt or question or reflection back to you at the right time.
Also importantly Meryl is so warm and full of heart and I love how there was always an invitation to explore the feelings coming up with different options to choose from in how we might explore deeper. Meryl always brings it back to you to feel empowered in the sessions and made the space feel safe to explore and trust the process.
I have had other therapy sessions but I have found the somatic exploration alongside the talking really profound. Moving the body and exploring themes away from the screen and and feeling into my body really helped me to get under so many layers much more effectively than being just in my head/mind.
Because of these sessions with Meryl I have been able to see patterns that have been holding me back really clearly and I’m now following joy and what I love and I am so much kinder to myself internally too. This has had a ripple affect on how I show up for my family and loved ones and I am so grateful to Meryl for her time and care and for creating a space where I didn’t feel judged in all that came up. Highly recommend Meryl if you’re looking for a Somatic Coach!
Working with Meryl has been fantastic! Her ability to combine a refreshingly pragmatic, logical approach with deep, empathetic insight is rare and remarkable. Whether in one-to-one sessions or during couples coaching, she has an extraordinary knack for getting straight to the heart of complex issues without ever making you feel pressured or exposed.
In just a single session, Meryl can untangle tricky problems, leaving you with clarity, actionable tools, and a renewed sense of direction. Her innovative and positive perspective feels like a breath of fresh air.
During couples sessions, Meryl's somatic approach helped my partner and I feel happier, more aligned, and more connected—not just in the moment, but for days afterward.
Meryl’s warmth, wisdom, and ability to gently guide without pushing make her an exceptional coach and therapist. I can’t recommend her enough
Oh Tiff what a joy to read this! I’m very lucky to have been part of your process and be witness to the evolving beautiful relationship you have with your husband 🙏🏻 Thank you for inviting me in and your continued commitment to self-awareness and reflection!
Meryl is, quite simply, a wonderful person and I feel incredibly lucky to have her as my coach. She has a serenity and patience that creates space and clarity in our sessions and she is an expert in her craft. She's empathetic and supportive whilst always being prepared to challenge and provoke resulting in a positive, collaborative and constructive environment for great work to be done together. I couldn't recommend her any more highly. I always look forward to our sessions and feel energised and inspired after every single one.
Meryl is warm, open and patient which is I think is key in being able to build such an honest and open dialogue during sessions.
I have had some real “aha ” moments which have come about through Meryl’s insightfulness and then gentle inquisitiveness. Her patience and encouragement of allowing and encouraging you to sit with the feelings that arise during sessions just enables you to become more comfortable and more open during sessions.
I have experienced some real insights and love the feeling of having “moved forward’ that I feel after our sessions and actually, a real feeling of peace afterward both within my mind and body!

Meryl creates a “safe space” for you to sit with and explore the feelings that arise during sessions.
I love the guidance and questioning that meryl provides during sessions that enables an exploration of thoughts and patterns that I think would otherwise go unquestioned! Our sessions have given some real “aha” moments and looking forward to seeing how many more of these will occur!
Love the quiet and peace that I feel after our sessions!
My sessions with Meryl were very enlightening yet gentle. She weaves in creativity, curiosity, & safety in a way that naturally allows insight and inspiration to come through. She's a natural when it comes to somatic guidance and integration. Thank you Meryl for the space your hold and the integrity with which you hold it!
Oh Meryl! It’s such a wonderful journey to take with you with each of our sessions - always a path of self discovery through some whimsy, careful reflection, kind understanding, and most importantly trusted guidance to find personal peace.
Having taken a few sessions with you over the last year - in each the safe space you create, your friendly open aura immediately puts one at ease, apprehensions at bay, to allow for dialogue that you masterfully unpack allowing for vulnerability in digging deeper.
I have found somatic coaching through your learning and the mix of mind and body is something so visceral but often overlooked when we unpack our feelings and thoughts - something a lot more of us need to collectively listen to as “the body keeps count”!
A big thank you for all your patience and in honing your own craft that helps others (like me) in ways that are often hard to articulate but the ripples are felt for a long time after. :))
I've had the pleasure of having 1:1 somatic coaching as well as attending multiple co-curious group sessions. Meryl has such a lovely balance of being uplifting and positive as well as being very attuned to what is happening in the mind and body. In our 1:1s I have always left feeling lighter with a lot of clarity. Meryl always makes me feel heard and understood and has given me support that feels is coming from a place of genuine care. She mixes meditation into the coaching and focusing on the body which really helps to process the emotions. In the group sessions I've attended they are a safe space and a lot of fun! Again, I always leave feeling energised and have a clear outlook on my life and goals. Thanks so much Meryl and never stop being you and doing what you do so well!
Awwww Simon I think back on your sessions often! The recording of one of them helped me get my certification so you’ve played a pivotal role in this journey. Thank you for your trust in me 🙏🏻
I booked time with Meryl at first to learn how she made a career switch—and ended up having my first somatic coaching session with her. I was blown away by how easily I could open up to her. How easily I found myself being vulnerable, with her asking me the perfect questions, leading me to my own conclusions. Her method kept me connected to my body, to my inner child, and I came away with tools for working on some ongoing struggles. I have since adopted Meryl as my new “therapist” and whenever I have a hiccup in life, I reach out to her for a session. She even reaches out to me from time to time to check on me. She has a true gift for helping her clients tap into their whole being—mind, body, and spirit—and I’m so grateful to have her as a resource.
Awwww Heather - it’s been an absolute joy getting to know you since our paths crossed at WOP. I’m glad I can provide a resource for you. I’m consistently inspired by your progress and life path choices!
Meryl is a really talented space holder- I’ve had the honor of having several sessions with her the past year and I’m forever grateful for the insights I’ve received from these sessions. I’ve been facing a lot of difficulties in navigating life through my second immigration and building my business at the same time and at times it has felt like self doubt and overthinking has taken over my life so with the help of Meryl, I’ve learned to come back to the body, to find the deep wisdom of my soma and also understand what’s tangibly needed for me to move forth in my life and leadership. She holds such non judgement, safe and loving space and has a very unique way to guide you to the root cause of what’s holding you back. I would 10/10 recommend working with her. Thank you so much for your support Meryl.
Booked! Looking forward to it
