WHAT IS SOMATIC FACILITATION
Somatic facilitation is a holistic approach that recognizes the interconnection between the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. It acknowledges that our physical experiences, sensations, and movements hold valuable insights into our psychological and emotional well-being. By working with the body as a gateway to personal transformation, somatic facilitators help individuals access their innate wisdom, release stored trauma, and cultivate a deeper sense of presence and authenticity.
Our Somatic Facilitator Training program is carefully crafted to provide a rich learning experience that combines theoretical knowledge, experiential learning, and practical skills development. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to the field, our program offers a comprehensive curriculum that caters to all levels of expertise.
