Why Somatic Certification Matters
You may already be doing body-based work with your clients. The difference is whether that training is documented anywhere outside your own session notes.
WITHOUT CERTIFICATION:
Your somatic training lives in your case notes and nowhere else
Referral sources cannot verify your body-based clinical skills
Clients searching for somatic-trained clinicians have no way to find you
Your professional profile lists your license, but not your specialization
Years of somatic coursework with no single credential to show for it
WITH CERTIFICATION:
A verifiable credential from a recognized certification body
Referral sources can confirm your somatic training in one search
Clients and directories can identify you as somatic-certified
Your professional profile reflects the work you actually do
18 hours of structured training documented under one credential
* Professional standards apply

Full Somatic Certification Training
(3 Days)
Each day covers a distinct clinical layer: from foundational principles, to neurobiology and clinical methods, to safety, ethics, and practitioner competence.
Day 1: 6 CE Hours
Foundations of Embodiment & Somatic Psychology
What somatic therapy actually is, where it came from, and why the body was left out of clinical training for decades. You will learn the core principles that run through every somatic model: bottom-up versus top-down processing, interoception, present-moment awareness, and the role of safety and pacing in body-based work. Day 1 closes with guided embodiment and regulation practices you can use with clients immediately.
Wednesday, October 28 — 6 CE Hours
Length: 6 Hours
Recording: Available If Needed
Thursday, October 29 — 6 CE Hours
Neurobiology, Methods & Clinical Applications
The neurobiology underneath somatic interventions: how nervous system regulation and dysregulation work, what happens physiologically during trauma and attachment disruption, and how somatic methods support reorganization at the neurobiological level. You will learn core methods across somatic models, including interoception, embodied emotion, movement-based interventions, and bridging associative channels. Day 2 also covers somatic manifestations across anxiety, depression, PTSD, and dissociation, with clinical demonstration and practice.
Format: Live
Length: 6 Hours
Recording: Available If Needed
Friday, October 30 — 6 CE Hours
Safety, Ethics & Practitioner Competence
How to do somatic work responsibly. Consent and client choice, working with activation during sessions, maintaining therapist presence and attunement, and tracking countertransference somatically. Day 3 covers the clinical decision-making that determines when to introduce direct somatic interventions, when to build resources first, and when to pause or refer. The training closes with case conceptualization using somatic principles and documentation considerations.
Format: Live
Length: 6 Hours
Recording: Available If Needed
