Our trainings in Somatic approaches offer guidance in listening to and trusting the body-mind connection as you learn skills that you can apply in personal and professional contexts.

Why Train in Somatic Trauma Therapy?
When you are working with clients’ stress and trauma, understanding the organismic wisdom of the body-mind connection, knowing how to listen to your own body to inform your practice, and understanding how to access this wisdom within your clients are essential skills in the healing process. Training through the Somatic Nature Therapy Institute offers you meaningful direction in translating practical, textbook research and knowledge into effective therapeutic interventions and practices.
Our Somatic trainings can transform you into a confident, highly skilled trauma practitioner. You’ll learn to help your clients listen to their bodies’ wisdom as well as uncover and develop new healthy neural pathways and patterns. We’ll help you understand attachment from a very practical and applicable perspective — one that will ultimately strengthen the client-provider relationship and your clients’ healing process.
With a more nuanced understanding of trauma and attachment’s effect on the body, mind and soul, you’ll gain greater trust, and confidence to understand the blueprint for healing trauma and will be more present—with yourself and your clients—in new, life-affirming ways.
