Somato-Energetics
MENTORSHIP AND CERTIFICATION
A SYSTEM FOR GUIDING AND FACILITATING SOMATO-EMOTIONAL RELEASE
Somato-Energetics is a holistic therapy that offers a distinctive approach to trauma and deep emotional work. It is designed with a neurophysiological framework that honours 4 pillars :
Fascia as Memory Medium: addressing and dissolving emotional + somatic memory patterns via breathwork, fascial unwinding, and mindfulness.
Tracking Autonomic Nervous System Shifts: the art of therapeutic listening (follow , listen, allow).
Creating a Therapeutic Container: physical safety, internal state, resource building, accessing, prompting, orientation, titration, and pace.
Somatic Memory Processing: using various methods for emotional and cognitive integration and transformation.
Central to this approach is the recognition of the hierarchical organization of the autonomic nervous system. In this training, practitioners understand that emotional processing can only occur effectively within the ‘ventral vagal state’-characterized by engagement, connection, and optimal regulatory capacity. Touch technique with this framework emphasizes following, rather than directing. We train practitioners to be attune to subtle cues presented by the tissues, supporting the natural unwinding process rather than imposing predetermined patterns or outcomes. The inherent intelligence of the body's self-healing capacity guides the somato-emotional release process.
Through a unified somatic approach to trauma-informed care: including a deeper understanding of the body’s relationship with social, environmental, developmental, relational, spiritual, and cultural wounding and healing, we help clients :
Transform stuck parts into inner resources of strength, love, and freedom.
Remove the barriers in relationships, and gain a deeper understanding of self and others.
Build internal resilience and self regulation through embodied presence and practices.
Enhance fundamental ability to adapt and navigate life with ease and agency.
Enhance capacity to identify internal responses to stressors, and mobilize that energy towards restoration and ease.
WHO IS THIS FOR ?
In this training you will learn to become a skilled practitioner who creates optimal conditions and then follows the natural unfolding of the healing process. This method encompasses multiple dimensions; somatic, emotional, cognitive, relational, and energetic. Integration across these multiple dimensions creates lasting transformation rather than temporary catharsis or insight without embodiment.
A somato-energetics practitioners explicitly address each of these dimensions, ensuring that insights and releases at one level are incorporated across all aspects of the client's experience. While the method provides a clear framework and theoretical understanding, each session unfolds according to the unique needs and process of each individual client. As practitioners develop proficiency in guiding somato-emotional release and processing somatic memory patterns, they gain access to a powerful dimension of healing that addresses the root causes of many physical symptoms while supporting clients overall wellbeing and embodied presence.
