If you’re here, you’re probably wondering:
Let’s dive in and give you ALL the juicy details so you can get absolute clarity on whether this is the certification that will change your life.
Somatic coaching is the missing link in the personal development and healing space.
The word somatic comes from the Greek word soma, meaning “the living body.” It’s a revolutionary approach that goes beyond mindset work to create deep, lasting transformation by working directly with the body and nervous system.
Most coaching and therapy models focus on thoughts, beliefs, and behavioral patterns. But here’s the truth:
Somatic coaching integrates the mind, body, and energy system to release stored trauma, rewire the nervous system, and help clients break free from emotional and energetic patterns that keep them stuck.
The result? Sustainable transformation—for you and the people you serve.
Let’s talk about the financial potential.
Somatic coaching is one of the fastest-growing modalities in the coaching and wellness space. With companies investing billions in nervous system regulation, stress relief, and emotional well-being, now is the time to get ahead of the curve.
And here’s the best part: You get to design your business YOUR way.
This certification is designed to elevate your coaching practice, amplify your impact, and expand your income potential. Whether you’re looking to start fresh or integrate somatic coaching into your existing practice, here’s what’s possible for you:
You’ll have full clarity on how to structure your practice by the time you graduate.
If you’re already a therapist, counselor, or coach, adding somatic coaching to your skill set will radically enhance your results.
Traditional therapy and coaching often focus on talking through challenges—but this only scratches the surface. If trauma, stress, and emotional patterns are stored in the body, true transformation requires nervous system work.
Somatic coaching bridges this gap by integrating body-based healing techniques that go beyond conversation and into deep, embodied change.
The world is shifting toward body-based healing—and clients are actively seeking practitioners who can offer solutions that create real, lasting transformation.
If you’ve ever felt like your current work is missing something, this is the missing piece.
Somatic coaching transforms EVERY area of life—from emotional well-being to relationships to career success. Here’s what’s possible:
Greater Self-Awareness & Clarity – Gain deep insight into your emotions, triggers, and patterns so you can make empowered choices.
Improved Relationships – Help clients heal attachment wounds, communicate more effectively, and build deeper, more authentic connections.
Increased Productivity & Success – When clients are free from old patterns and stress responses, they can step into their full potential in business and life.
Better Mental & Physical Health – Somatic coaching reduces stress, improves sleep, and enhances overall well-being.
Identity Transformation – Support clients in fully embodying their most empowered, liberated selves and stepping into the life they were meant for.
This isn’t about surface-level change—it’s about complete transformation at the root.
The next round starts in March 2025, with graduation in October 2025.
This is a 7-month immersive experience designed to ensure you fully integrate this work and emerge confident, embodied, and ready to lead.
This certification is designed to fit into your life while also providing a deep, transformational experience.
Depending on the stage of the program, expect to commit 5-10 hours per week to live calls, training materials, practice sessions, and coaching integration.
Every piece of this program is designed for maximum impact in a time-efficient way—so you can balance your learning with your life.
