Trauma impacts over 70% of adults globally. That’s more than 5 billion people around the world (World Mental Health Survey Consortium). It’s not just a personal struggle; it’s a public health emergency disrupting lives, families, and communities. Unresolved, it drives a 50-60% higher risk of heart disease, a 3-5x greater chance of depression, and billions in economic losses. With 5 billion affected, we can’t wait. Education and training are essential to confront this challenge. Have you seen clients struggle with trauma you felt unprepared to address?

Prioritize your own nervous system health as your primary tool. Implement self-care routines, utilize Polyvagal Mapping for self-discovery, and integrate all course learnings into an embodied, confident professional presence.
Before this course, I doubted my ability to handle trauma... I can now more confidently lean in to holding space for others because I deeply trust my capacity to be with any trauma responses and I know what to do when activation occurs.
I never thought I could be so profoundly changed by a 35-hour course... There is enough theory on the internet; we truly need embodiment... Undoubtedly, this course was a turning point in my life.
My language has transformed and I have a much deeper, empathetic understanding... If your goal is to effect aligned, safe, and considerable change in your clients, going through this program is an absolute must.
Will & Aurianna create the safest space for students to be their whole selves... I felt very validated and supported... It was incredible to deepen my knowledge surrounding our nervous system... honor the knowing of my system in a new way.
This program contains information that every single person (and especially helping professionals) need to know... Trauma and Somatics was the MISSING PIECE to helping me to understand how to do this deep work with better results...

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.
