Core skills you’ll master
What changes in your practice after 12 weeks.

Track the Nervous System

Learn to read the subtle signs of nervous system states in your clients’ bodies. Develop the foundational skill of tracking activation, shutdown, and regulation in real time.

Apply Somatic Techniques

Help clients regulate using hands-on somatic interventions. Build their resilience and capacity. Know exactly what to do when intensity arises in session.

Master Trauma-Informed Care

Understand how to create physiological safety. The body and mind can only change when the nervous system senses safety. Learn to build containers where deep healing becomes possible.

Build Post-Trauma Capacity

Move beyond symptom management. Help clients expand their window of tolerance, develop nervous system flexibility, and thrive beyond survival patterns.

"The body and mind can only change when the nervous system senses safety."

Daily Somatic Practices

7 guided audio practices (3-5 minutes each) to develop your own somatic awareness. Practice grounding, orienting, self-contact, breathwork, tracking, oscillation, and integration.

What practitioners are saying

From therapists, coaches, bodyworkers, and facilitators who’ve completed the training.
“Before Trauma & Somatics, I felt stuck using only cognitive techniques with my trauma clients. Now I can track their nervous systems in real time and help them build capacity they didn’t know was possible.”
Erin Schemenski

Reiki Practitioner & Breathwork Facilitator

“I considered myself a pretty trauma-informed clinician before taking this course but every clinician should take a refresher. It was almost as if I was experiencing myself for the first time with the information.”
Molly Eames

Sexuality Educator & Coach

“For the last 2 years, I’ve been seeking tools that ring true for me so I can support others. I wanted a foundational stepping stone of understanding regarding our nervous systems. The material was in-depth but presented in a digestible and integrative way.”
Anna McCoy

Artist & Space Holder

“This training forever changed the way I work with clients. I was able to integrate the tools and techniques in my personal life and even with my friends. I’m now helping people from an entirely new lens that wasn’t even available to me before.”
Kevin Crenshaw

CEO, The Heart Guy

“Trauma + Somatics has been a game-changer for my work with clients and for my personal healing. You are guided with compassion and understanding, allowing the teachings to easily integrate into your everyday life.”
Gordana Jakopcevic

Space Holder & Mentor

“I initially thought I knew enough about trauma after working at a retreat center for a few years. However, I realized I had only scratched the surface! I now feel so much more confident in supporting my clients and see being able to refer out as a positive thing.”
Bryn Marhefka

Sex & Love Coach

"Coming from my SE training, the simplicity was appreciated. Bite-size golden nuggets that I could implement NOW with my clients. This is an invaluable approach for whatever container you hold. It is a blueprint for the human experience."

Natasha Pampin, Somatic Coach

Everything you need to know before enrolling.
Who is this for?
This training is designed for helping professionals actively working with clients: therapists, coaches, bodyworkers, breathwork facilitators, health coaches, and anyone committed to trauma-informed care. Caring humans of any kind are welcome.
No. This is a foundational training. If you’re completely new to somatic work, we recommend starting with our Foundations of Trauma & Somatics mini-course, but it’s not required.
All classes are recorded. While live attendance is highly recommended for the full experience, you can watch recordings and still complete the program.
Plan for 4-5 hours per week: 3 hours for live class (or watching the recording), plus 1-2 hours for module study, daily practices, and homework.
This is a certificate program, not a full modality certification. You’ll receive a Certificate of Completion documenting 35 hours of professional training in trauma-informed somatic practice.
Not at this time, but we’re working toward it.
This is a professional training, not personal therapy. If you’re seeking trauma healing for yourself, we recommend working with a qualified practitioner first. Visit the Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Directory to find someone in your area.
