ABOUT SOMATIC ARTS ACADEMY
Our certifications support new and experienced therapists, coaches, and facilitators who are ready to help others and expand their impact. Through our trainings, you’ll recognize and rewire patterns in your body and psyche, align with your true essence, and guide transformative change. By exploring the stories held in the body, you’ll uncover and release outdated conditioning, creating space for deeper self-awareness, authentic expression, and embodied leadership.
We believe it is our birthright to steward our own lives and our responsibility to be part of collective healing. We’re here to help you feel safe in your being, fall in love with life, and take a chance on fully living.
