The Liquid Accordion:
A Somatic and Embodiment Primer for Coaching In, With, and Through the Body for Coaches and Leaders
Croft’s new book fills a gap that has lingered in this field for a long time. Many talented practitioners have written about the body, yet I have not seen another book that accomplishes what The Liquid Accordion achieves. Croft offers an accessible primer for readers at any level who want to understand how the body shapes emotion, thought, and interpretation, and how those same forces shape the body in return. He presents clear frameworks, new distinctions, and practical methods that can be used immediately. He also shows readers how to care for themselves and others with greater intention. Coaches, leaders, parents, partners, and anyone seeking deeper insight will find lasting value in these pages.
The Liquid Accordion offers a clear, grounded way to work with the somatic dimension. Croft Edwards walks readers through why the body matters, what to pay attention to in themselves and others, and how to build embodied practices that bring this work into everyday coaching and life.

Reviews & Praise
Croft is the kind of coach who doesn’t get lost in my stories (and I have many). He stays grounded, present, and anchored in the body, offering distinctions that genuinely shift how I see myself and the world. His somatic wisdom isn’t theoretical, it’s practical, humane, and deeply integrating. The book carries that same quality: clear, steady, and quietly powerful. It’s a gift for anyone who wants real change, not just insight.

“A thoughtful and refreshingly embodied contribution to coaching literature. Croft Edwards brings somatic awareness into practical focus, offering language and distinctions that deepen presence with clients. Insightful, grounded, and genuinely useful for coaches and leaders working beyond purely cognitive approaches.”
