ABOUT

Louise Ma

I am a mindful somatic coach based in the Bay Area and Taipei, primarily practicing virtually.

I’m a cis/het woman in my early 40s, and a first-generation American child of a Taiwanese and Chinese immigrant family.

My practice centers the right use of power in, and utilizing, the client-practitioner relationship as a space of healing and deeper self inquiry. My aim is to bring forth the inherent wisdom and wholeness of the client, even in the midst of traumatic responses. I use mindfulness, connecting with the soma,
art-making, intrinsic movement, parts work, and play as part of my healing toolkit.

In addition to being a Certified Hakomi Practitioner, I’ve received training through ManuelaMischke-Reeds and Continuum Movement teacher Susan Harper in connecting with the body’s fundamental intelligence and natural capacity for integrating overwhelming and traumatic experiences.
My current client base is mostly comprised of individuals experiencing spiritual shifts and awakenings. Recent client testimonial: “Your grounded approach is unmatched. How I show up is just right. You show genuine interest and excitement about my unfolding which is my favorite part about working with
you because I feel genuinely cared for and HEARD.”
