*Trigger Warning*: a heads-up that this episode includes a discussion about su*cide. We approach the topic with care and compassion, but please use your discernment and prioritise your wellbeing. 

Monica Climaco (she/they) is a queer, immigrant, neurodivergent somatic practitioner, coach, artist, and activist. Her purpose on earth is to enjoy life being as true to herself as possible, with the hopes that people feel they can be true to themselves as well. Weaving movement, writing, art-making, play, improv, and other creative modalities into her practice, she believes that radical embodied authenticity and aliveness are foundational for healing, transformation, and collective liberation.

As a survivor of su*c*de attempts, Monica is also devoted to providing support and safe spaces for fellow survivors to strengthen their relationships with their reasons to stay, in a world that gives so many to go. Monica has been coaching since 2020, and studying, practicing, and sharing about somatics since 2023.


This is such a beautiful episode with a wise, wild woman, where Monica so generously shares:

  • her experience with living through the experience of depression and suicide attempts
  • the role somatic accessing and reweaving and the interplay of mind, body, heart and soul has played in her journey
  • some of the common sterotypical misconceptions around somatic coaching and a beautiful reclamation around [somatics = sovereignty]
  • how choice, power, control and feeling the pain of living out of connection with exiled parts of ourselves who just want to be seen and tended to
  • a delicious discussion around the simple power of naming our feelings and emotional responses and honouring the full spectrum of our human experience
