What is trauma sensitive coaching ?
As a coach, I support you in reconnecting with yourself. My approach is one of compassionate curiosity. Together, we explore—based on the issue you bring to me—what is standing in the way of your deeper desires for yourself and your life. I meet you as a fellow human being and on equal footing, acting more as a companion than as an expert.
I work according to the principles of NARM. Specifically, this means that through my inner attitude and my understanding of attachment and developmental trauma, I offer a framework in which you can explore both top down (believes) and bottom up (nervous system dysregulation) patterns that get in the way of what you long for deep inside. I support you, moment by moment, in becoming more aware of your inner world, honour and question relational survival strategies, and develop capacity for self regulation, healthy relating, and freedom.
Sounds familiar?
I feel like I can’t be myself around others
I feel lonely and I'm ashamed of it
I feel like I’m alone with my problems
Constant tension—I can’t relax anymore
Constant pressure to perform or look good
I’m always there for others; I don’t know my own needs
I withdraw emotionally in close relationships
I have a hard time saying “no” and setting boundaries
I overthink things before making a decision
The strategies I use to feel good no longer work
I keep getting into the same conflicts with my partner

My offer to you
1:1 Coaching
Do you want support on your journey toward greater relaxation, vitality, or inner peace?
In my one-on-one sessions based on NARM principles, I’ll guide you with kindness and as an equal. Together, we’ll explore what’s standing in the way of your deeper desires for your life.
Honest Sharing Practice
Do you want to be able to remain relaxed in the presence of other people?
With the “Honest Sharing Practice" your nervous system learns that everything is okay. No matter what you're feeling or thinking at the moment, you can express it, you'll be heard, and nothing bad will happen. The ventral vagus nerve is activated, and you discover that relaxation is possible through connection.
Embodiment Workshops
Do you want to explore stress regulation, creative expression, or authentic communication in experienced based, small group settings?
In my embodiment workshops, you learn with your whole being: cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and relational. It sticks.
Josua Münch - Who am I?
I see myself as a guide on your journey. At the same time, I am on my own journey of reconnection. In some areas, I may be a step ahead of you; in others, you may be ahead of me. I meet you as an equal.
My sensitivity is a gift that serves me well, especially in one-on-one support for others. Added to this is my own experience spanning several years in various mindfulness practices such as meditation, conscious dance, and honest sharing. I also receive support through SE, IoPT, and NARM, among other approaches.
I am trained as an Embodiment Coach (2023), as NARM-informed professional (2025), and I'm currently in training as a NARM practitioner.
“The more we allow ourselves to fully experience who we are, the greater the possibility of change.” – Dr. Laurence Heller
