Organic Intelligence Coaching

Organic Intelligence is a trademark that refers to this therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Steve Hoskinson. 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 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 person and ended up working with another and was stunned by the beauty of her ability to hold space and individuals with such a deep level of love and compassion. Later that day I asked for more information which led me to Steve Hoskinson. I ended up studying with him, firstly in a person growth setting, getting a full experiential understanding of the method and went on to train as a coach.
