Anne-Marie Lappano, BScOT, PCC, SEP (She/Her)
As a Personal Development Coach, Anne-Marie is passionate about helping people find and connect to their innate wisdom. Often, our authentic self is obscured by outdated beliefs and automatic patterns of defence and reactivity, from the ways the world has responded to us. The longing we feel for greater wellbeing, better relationships, more fulfilling work, or emotional ease is a signal that we're ready to grow. Development is life long, and being in a coaching relationship can provide the support needed to breakthrough your blocks and create alignment within. The doorway to real change includes the body, mind and spirit, and this is what defines Anne-Marie’s Coaching. Through noticing what has been blocking us, more space from past hurts follows and naturally moves us to greater flow and ease in our lives. Anne-Marie provides a safe and non-judging space to be witnessed and supported.
As an ICF-Certified Integral Development Coach® (New Ventures West, 2011) and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (2015), Anne-Marie blends Somatic Experiencing and Integral Coaching with her growing understanding of Somatic Parts Work. She also has training in SE Touch and is able to support the nervous system through touch work when appropriate. In addition to her depth of experience and training, decades of doing her own inner work have shaped her capacity to be present and stimulated her desire to coach others on this path of self-development and growth.
With over 35 years as an Occupational Therapist, she brings a depth of clinical experience in trauma-informed care, physical and mental health, including brain injury, chronic pain and depression, burnout, anxiety, ADHD, and ASD. Her training also spans decades of Personal Meditation Practice, Mindfulness-Based Trainings, Studies in Internal Family Systems Parts work, Polyvagal Theory, Studies in Depth Psychology, The Enneagram and Spiritual Inquiry.
In addition to her private practice in Sebringville at A Calm Retreat, Anne-Marie currently assists all levels of Somatic Experiencing Trainings in London, Ontario, and is approved by Somatic Experiencing International to offer Personal Sessions to SE students at all training levels.
She offers in-person and virtual sessions and is currently accepting new clients.
