Somatic Coaching
Embodied resiliency
Politicized healing
Climate grief support

My name is Selin Nurgün, (SEH-lin), and I am a somatic coach, speaker, climate grief worker, and facilitator dedicated to supporting individuals and communities on their path to liberation, empowerment, and healing.

I have a vision of a liberated and resourced society, where ecosystems of care and justice replace systems of oppression; where individuals can experience joy, rest, dignity, and deep connectivity through their body, environment, and relationships; where we feel empowered to embrace uncertainty in a rapidly changing world.

I am a queer, femme, first-generation Turkish American, who practices authentic choice, radical love, and compassion in all that I do. I use my skills, experience, and intuition to guide individuals to tap into their wisdom and transform themselves, in order to transform society. I believe that the more capacity we cultivate to feel discomfort, the more choice we have towards the way we respond in the world. With more choice comes a deeper connection to our values and purpose, aligning us to what is truly possible. I see myself more as a “guide” rather than a “healer” as I bear witness to evolution and growth. I will also transform along the journey, and happily so.

My ethos and lineage is informed by principles of decolonization, deep ecology, abolition, anti-racism/ oppression, disability justice, and transformative justice, rooted in the teachings of Black feminist liberation thought, as well as indigenous and other people of color. It can be so easy to get lost in despair as we face overwhelming destruction and injustice, yet there are also answers to be found in the darkness. We can choose to move through uncertainty as a skill, an art form, rather than let it take us further away from our selves and each other.
