Organic Intelligence Coaching

Organic Intelligence was developed by Steve Hoskinson which integrates the best of complexity science, Somatic Experiencing, the work of Milton Erickson, Carl Jung, polyvagal theory, aikido, deep ecology, play, and the fractal nature of body & mind.

It approaches trauma as an ‘unintegrated resource’. It focuses on trauma resolution and nervous system regulation through natural, self-directed processes. I particularly love the trust it shows in the individual’s own resource centre. It is a coaching of the individual through this resource centre, recognising its own innate intelligence of the body and the whole nervous system and its ability to heal and recover from traumatic experiences.

It is uses understanding of the polyvagal theory, really meeting the client where they are and at the same time recognising and supporting the innate wisdom and self-regulating capacity of the human body and nervous system. It combines mindfulness, somatic awareness, and a deep understanding of the body's physiological responses to create a holistic approach to healing trauma.

I discovered Organic Intelligence completely by accident in Brighton in 2019. I had gone to work with one teacher and was and was deeply impressed with another. I was stunned by the beauty of her ability to hold space and individuals with such a deep level of love and compassion. This led me to her teacher, Steve Hoskinson. I studied with him, firstly in a personal growth setting, getting a full experiential understanding of the method and went on to train as a coach.
