How Presley works
Presley uses parts work, somatic work and emotional work together. Parts work calms the self-critical inner voice. Somatic work releases stress and anxiety held in the body. Emotional work helps clients face fear with compassion. The main offer is a 6 month private coaching program for imposter syndrome. It also puts self-doubt in context, including sexism, racism, ableism and unhealthy company cultures. Clients also find and practice using their own inner resources.
Background and qualifications
Presley started as a software developer and struggled with procrastination that came from fear of being found out. Parts work helped, so Presley studied Internal Family Systems parts work under Derek Scott at IFSCA. Presley then became certified in the Aletheia Advanced Coaching Program, which blends parts work with somatic work and other modalities in a goal-oriented coaching style. Presley is also a Certified Tension Release Exercise Provider. Presley still takes tech contracting work alongside coaching.
