About Us
Welcome to Garacci Somatic Therapies
​

A body–mind practice rooted in thought work, intentional action, and embodied change

Garacci Somatic Therapies is a holistic coaching and body-mind practice grounded in a simple but powerful principle:

The way you think shapes the way you act — and repeated action reshapes your life.

At the core of all our practice is thought work: learning to recognize thoughts as mental events rather than commands, understanding how they drive behavior, and deliberately choosing actions that create lasting change.

Whether we are working through conversation, movement, or parenting support, the foundation is the same:
changing how you relate to your thoughts so you can act differently — and consistently — in your life.

This page may describe what we do, what we offer,
but the work itself is always about you.

The foundation of our work: thoughts → actions → transformation

Most people wait to feel different before they act.

Our work is based on the opposite understanding:

Action comes first — and thoughts are trainable.

Your mind will always produce reasons not to change:

  • I don’t feel like it.

  • This is too hard.

  • I’ll start later.

  • This isn’t me.

Thought work teaches you how to:

  • notice these thoughts without over-identifying with them

  • stop treating every thought as truth

  • choose intentional action anyway

When action changes, physiology changes.
When physiology changes, identity follows.

This is how real, sustainable transformation happens — not through motivation or insight alone, but through deliberate repetition guided by awareness.

A unified approach to body and mind

While thought work is the foundation, it is never practiced in isolation.

At Garacci Somatic Therapies, thought work is integrated with:

  • somatic awareness

  • nervous-system-informed practices

  • relational and emotional insight

  • and embodied action

This allows change to move beyond understanding and into the body — where habits, regulation, confidence, and self-trust are built.

How you can work with us

Coaching for Adults

Clarity, agency, and intentional change

We offer one-on-one coaching for adults who want to:

  • change unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior

  • strengthen emotional regulation

  • improve relationships

  • take consistent action aligned with their values

 

Modalities include:

​

       Thought Work Coaching – Learning to identify, question, and shift thoughts that limit confidence, follow-through, and growth

Relational Somatic Coaching – Applying thought work within emotional and relational contexts, using body awareness to support integration

Sessions are practical, personalized, and focused on creating real change — not just insight.

 

Somatic Personal Training & Bodywork for Women

 

Strength built through thought work, repetition, and physiology

This offering applies the same thought-work foundation to physical training.

Rather than relying on motivation or willpower, women learn:

  • how thoughts like “I don’t want to” are normal and irrelevant

  • how consistent action rewires the nervous system and brain

  • how repetition creates a new physical and mental baseline

This is strength training guided by awareness, structure, and intentional action — so movement becomes expected, natural, and eventually desired.

The goal is not to force yourself to work out,
but to train your system until it becomes who you are.

Sessions are available in person and online.

 

 

Support for Parents & Families

Thought-work-based guidance for conscious caregiving

Parenting challenges are often driven less by children’s behavior and more by adults’ internal reactions.

In parent coaching and caregiver training, we apply thought work to:

  • emotional regulation

  • boundaries and consistency

  • stress responses

  • and relational dynamics

Services include:

  • Parent Coaching – Learning to respond rather than react, and to lead from clarity rather than overwhelm

  • Nanny Training Courses – Teaching caregivers how thoughts, nervous systems, and behavior interact in children and adults

This work supports both children and the adults guiding them.

 

Our commitment to the work

At Garacci Somatic Therapies, the guiding principles are clear:

  • Thoughts are optional, actions are decisive

  • Consistency creates identity

  • The body adapts to what you repeatedly do

  • Change is built, not discovered

  • Support must be individualized

The goal is not self-fixing or self-soothing.

The goal is to help you build a life that feels grounded, capable, and intentional — through clear thinking and consistent action.

About Sofia Garacci

Founder of Garacci Somatic Therapies

Sofia Garacci is the founder of Garacci Somatic Therapies, a body–mind coaching practice grounded in thought work, somatic awareness, and intentional action.

Over time, the practice has grown to include a small team of like-minded professionals who share the same foundational approach. Sofia personally trains and collaborates only with practitioners who work from this methodology, ensuring that all support offered through Garacci Somatic Therapies reflects the same clarity, integrity, and depth of work.

She holds a degree in Clinical Psychology from La Sapienza University of Rome, a certification in Psychosomatic Counseling from SIAB (Italian Society of Bioenergetic Psychoanalysis), and a Teen and Parent Coaching Certification from the Scuola di Coaching Umanistico in Rome, Italy.

Sofia works with clients in person in New York City and Rome, Italy, and offers remote coaching worldwide, creating a flexible and supportive space regardless of location.

How this work came to be

Sofia’s approach is shaped not only by formal training, but by years of clinical experience — and by her own personal transformation.

Through her work as a therapist and coach, she observed something consistently:
insight alone was rarely enough to create lasting change.

While emotional understanding and somatic awareness are essential, real transformation tended to occur when clients learned how to work directly with their thoughts — especially the ones that quietly drive behavior, avoidance, and self-sabotage.

At the same time, Sofia experienced this shift firsthand.

Learning thought work fundamentally changed how she related to her mind, her emotions, and her actions. By recognizing thoughts as mental events rather than absolute truths, and by choosing deliberate action even in the presence of resistance, her life began to change in concrete, measurable ways.

What felt like effort became habit.
What felt unnatural became normal.
What once required motivation became identity.

Thought work was not just another tool — it was a revolution.
