This is a trauma-informed training that is designed for personal + professional development. Regulated professionals will benefit from this training on a deeply personal level + will also be able to integrate the core of this work into their practice in many ways.

Training in somatic work requires a deep commitment from oneself to learning + embodying a body-based approach to healing so you are able to facilitate the work for others. Students must set aside 8-10 hours per week for the 8-weeks of online study, including the live calls + in-person or virtual support training. Then students will set aside time (approximately 2 months) to complete their 12, 1-hour case studies (including receiving sessions from other students).

The program is intentionally run with small groups to allow for a collaborative + interactive learning + development program. If you are someone who is uncomfortable with group interaction, or who doesn't have the time to fully show up for your fellow classmates, this may not be the right fit, or the right time to take the program.

It is important to be aware that this work can bring up a lot mentally, emotionally, + physically. Please ensure you have a less stressful schedule during your training. Students may also need to get extra support such as therapy while in/post the program.
