Learn to ‘listen’ with your hands and presence—blending technical skill with somatic intuition.
- Trauma-informed touch—honoring each client’s unique history held in their body.
- Navigate the triad of tissue, structure, and energy—knowing when to work deeply, when to hold space, and when to invite release.
- Transform your table presence—from mechanical technique to embodied connection.
WHAT YOU’LL GET
- Hands-on skills to assess tissue with sensitivity.
- Somatic principles for working with emotional-energetic holding patterns.
- A refined palpation language—reading the body’s whispers, not just its shouts.
- Confidence to tailor sessions—no two bodies (or souls) are the same.
KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
- Open to all practitioners
- New graduates: With foundational training in anatomy, assessment, or hands-on techniques (e.g., massage, yoga therapy, Pilates, etc).
- Experienced practitioners: Curiosity to integrate somatic and trauma-informed principles into your existing modality.
- No prior trauma/energy training needed – just a willingness to explore touch and movement as tools for embodied healing.
WHAT TO BRING
- Note taking equipment.
SUITABLE FOR
- For practitioners ready to deepen their touch beyond technique—where anatomy meets alchemy, and healing becomes an art.

Somatic Bodywork Mentor • Trauma-Informed Healing Practitioner
With 30 years of one-on-one clinical practice, I blend remedial massage, myotherapy, and somatic wisdom to help bodies release stories held in tissue and soul. As a clinic supervisor, I guide students to merge technical skill with intuitive presence—transforming touch into a trauma-informed dialogue. My work is rooted in this truth: Every body’s healing begins when met exactly as it is.
“Whether your medium is touch, movement, or both — discover how to meet the body where it is.”
