Why Trauma and Somatics?

About us

Our vision of a healthier, happier world.

Redefining Growth Through Embodied Wisdom

Trauma and Somatics is more than a training platform; it is a movement dedicated to transforming how individuals and communities relate to their bodies, their work, and each other

. We serve as a bridge, connecting profound somatic wisdom with practitioners, leaders, and seekers eager for meaningful growth and integration

. Our work invites you not just to learn, but to experience a fundamental shift towards a more connected, resilient, and embodied way of being

Our Vision: A World Connected Through Somatic Intelligence

We envision a world where somatic wisdom is second nature

– where healers, educators, therapists, coaches, and leaders effectively integrate these practices into their lives and work

. We strive for a future where every individual feels empowered to trust their body's intelligence as a partner in growth, healing, and navigating complexity

. This transformation extends beyond personal well-being, creating ripples that reshape relationships, professional fields, and communities

Our Mission: Accessible Wisdom, Embodied Transformation

Our core mission is to revolutionize access to sophisticated somatic practices and trauma-informed education. We create learning environments where this essential wisdom feels approachable, practical, and vital for both professional application and personal discovery. We are committed to guiding participants beyond intellectual understanding to truly embody insights, turning knowledge into lived experience and tangible skills.

Our Approach: Depth, Practicality, and Trauma-Informed Care

Integration: We blend contemporary neuroscience, attachment and developmental theory, and psychological principles with the rich lineage of somatic methodologies and wisdom traditions.
Embodiment: We believe the body is the key to meaningful change. Our programs provide clear pathways to deepen connection with the soma – the body as experienced from within.
Trauma-Informed: Safety and attunement are paramount. Trauma-informed principles are woven into the fabric of all our offerings, meeting participants with sensitivity and skill. We equip practitioners to work effectively with trauma responses within their scope of practice.
Practical Application: We translate complex concepts into practical, accessible tools and frameworks that can be applied immediately in professional settings and personal life.
Experiential Learning: True integration comes through experience. Our trainings emphasize hands-on learning, somatic practice, case studies, and mentorship.

Our work is grounded in:

Transformation through Embodiment: Honoring the body as the source of wisdom and path to change.
Unwavering Integrity: Respecting the necessary pacing and honesty required for deep, sustainable transformation.
Care Beyond Knowledge: Ensuring trauma-informed sensitivity, safety, and compassion in all interactions.

Your Trainers

Will Rezin is an expert and educator specializing in applied somatics, trauma resolution, and developmental processes, dedicated to advancing human potential through embodied awareness. As Owner of Trauma and Somatics and Founder of Formative Somatics, he develops and delivers sophisticated training programs and provides coaching for high-impact individuals globally.

Will's work integrates contemporary neuroscience, psychological theory, and insights from esoteric traditions with a deep grounding in applied somatic methodologies. He synthesizes developmental attachment theory and sensorimotor approaches with nervous system physiology, building upon the foundations laid by early somatic pioneers. This unique synthesis informs methodologies designed to enhance interoceptive capacity, facilitate nervous system regulation, and resolve patterns stemming from trauma and developmental deficits. His approach moves beyond symptom management to address the underlying psychophysiological organization shaping perception and behavior.

He employs diverse modalities, including Somatic Experiencing®, Formative Somatics®, and applied psychodrama, to help clients access profound levels of self-awareness and cultivate adaptive resilience. The objective is not mere comfort, but developing the capacity to engage fully with the complexities of life, fostering greater effectiveness, connection, and purpose.

With over a decade of experience, Will has consulted for and coached industry leaders, innovators, and professionals across numerous sectors, including individuals associated with NASA, Google, Boeing, National Geographic, Emmy award-winning producers, and Fortune 500 companies. His work aims to foster systemic change by equipping practitioners and leaders with the tools to navigate complexity and cultivate presence, contributing to more integrated and resilient individuals and communities.

Ultimately, Will envisions the cultivation of a global "somatic culture," where embodied intelligence is recognized as fundamental to personal well-being and collective evolution. This involves a fundamental shift from widespread disconnection towards presence, relational attunement, and systemic structures that honor the body's wisdom. By fostering somatic literacy and integrating these principles into leadership, education, and healthcare, the potential emerges for a future grounded in deeper human connection, resilience, and the full expression of our shared aliveness.
