what shapes your team beneath the surface
Talks, workshops and longer programmes that help teams understand how they respond under pressure, so communication becomes clearer, trust deepens and people work together more effectively.
01 - what you might be noticing
It isn’t a skills gap
Most challenges inside teams don’t come from a lack of knowledge or strategy. They come from patterns, how people respond under pressure, how conflict is handled, and what gets said and what doesn’t.
Communication that breaks down or feels disconnected.
Tension that gets avoided, or escalates quickly.
Unclear roles, over-responsibility or quiet disengagement.
A sense that something isn’t working, even though it’s hard to name.
02 - In Plain Words
What is Somatic Work for teams
Somatic means “of the body”. Under pressure, all of us react from the body first, we tense, go quiet, push harder or pull away, long before we have thought anything through.
Rather than only talking about communication, we work with what is actually happening in the room. Your team learns to notice those reactions as they happen and to choose a different response, which is what makes the change last once everyone is back at their desks.
03 - ways to work together
how we can work together
TALKS AND WORKSHOPS
Experiential sessions where your team explores how it works together, in real time. Each one is shaped around a theme, for example ethics in practice, connection and belonging at work, working with conflict, boundaries and responsibility, leadership and presence, or change and uncertainty.
COMMUNICATION AND RELATIONAL TRAINING
Support for teams through tension, growth or change. Rather than scripted communication tools, we focus on what happens in the moment, so people can stay present, speak more honestly and stay connected when things feel uncomfortable.
LONGER-TERM PARTNERSHIP
For organizations wanting change that lasts. Working together over several months gives time to build trust, work through recurring patterns and carry what is learned into everyday working life.

04 - who leads the work
from the boardroom to the body
I began my career in corporate England, working across several psychology consultancies in London, training and teaching senior leaders to develop themselves and their teams.
From there I supported organizations with workplace wellbeing and researched sleep, stress, depression and anxiety, before moving into private practice in New York City. I hold an MSc in Psychology and I’m trained and certified in somatic work, so I bring both the language of organisations and an understanding of how people actually change.
ORGANIsATIONS I HAVE WORKED WITH INCLUDE DHL AND HADASSAH INTERNATIONAL.
“Lauraine expertly guided participants on a journey of self-discovery and connection. What truly stood out was Lauraine’s ability to create an inclusive environment that fostered growth and introspection. It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Lauraine Mann as a transformative facilitator.”

We agree clear guidelines at the start, so taking part feels respectful, optional and professionally held.

Sessions run in person in New York City and online for teams anywhere in the world.
no one has to share
People take part at their own pace, which makes room for honest rather than performed participation.

It is an experiential approach to team development led by Lauraine Mann, a psychosomatic practitioner in New York City with an MSc in Psychology and a background in corporate psychology consultancies. Instead of only talking about communication or conflict, teams notice how they respond under pressure, in the room, and practise responding differently. Sessions run from a 60-minute talk to a full day, in person in NYC or online.

No. This is professional development for teams. Nobody is asked to share personal history, and everyone takes part at their own pace.
