ABOUT THE PROGRAM
DEEPEN AND REFINE YOUR SKILLS AS A SOMATIC PRACTITIONER
Our Somatic Practitioner Mentorship program is designed to offer you a container of support as you develop your skills as a Somatic Practitioner or Therapist. It will also help guide and enhance your personal process and practice of the tools you have gained in either your Certificate program with The Embody Lab, or other somatic-based programs.
If you want to deepen your understanding of the practice of somatic therapies, refine your skills as a practitioner, and enhance your capacity to offer this life-changing work to others… this program is for you!
The Fall Mentorship program runs live and online from November 14th, 2024 - April 10th, 2025.
The mentorship program includes:
Six 3-hour mentoring sessions.
Four 90-minute master level Embodied Practitioner Skills workshops to deepen and enhance your practitioner skills.
Each 3-hour mentoring session will include:
Part 1: Live demonstration of working with a client from a esteemed mentor, followed by a deconstruction of that session, analysis of techniques used, and question and answer
Part 2: Guidance for up to four case studies per session with three of our esteemed mentoring faculty supporting the practitioners
All sessions will be recorded and participants will receive lifetime access to the recordings at no extra cost.
Deepen your embodiment and learn practical applications of Somatic Therapy
Through demonstrations led by your mentors, you will witness and experience the application and integration of the somatic and body-based healing techniques explored in our Certificate Programs.
Case-Studies
As a participant you will be invited to submit a case study prior to each mentoring session for guidance and support by three of our esteemed mentoring faculty during the live sessions. Up to four case-studies will be explored per mentoring session.
All participants will have the opportunity to participate in the discussion and Q&A.
HOW SOMATICS HELPS HEAL
‘Soma’ is a Greek word for ‘the living body known from within’, or known to the Self. This ‘knowing’ signifies wholeness. Somatic therapy is an experiential approach towards mind-body integration. The pain, overwhelm, and coping responses manifested by trauma take us away from feeling at home in our body, and as a result there is often a split within ourselves.
Somatic Therapy helps:
Restore the body as a place of safety while helping to expand the capacity to process body (preverbal and nonverbal) memory
Metabolize unprocessed emotions
Complete thwarted (incomplete) stress responses
Restore our optimal relationship to our self and the world around us
Somatic trauma therapy offers techniques for clients to sense and regulate their own physiology and states of being. This includes building more internal and external resources, building trusting and co-regulatory relationships, learning to turn inward with compassion, being invited deeper into the body, and being given time and space to process the trauma. These somatic techniques unwind trauma and restore well-being.
Deepen your embodiment and learn practical applications of Somatic Therapy.
WHO IS THIS TRAINING FOR?
Students must have completed or be currently enrolled in one or more of The Embody Lab’s Certificate programs or completed a somatic practitioner program from other schools.
Eligible Embody Lab programs include:
I’m not an Alumni of The Embody Lab. Can I still participate in the mentorship program?
Yes. If you’ve completed previous embodiment or somatic based certificates and/or work as a somatic practitioner (including body worker, yoga teacher, therapist, etc.) and you want to deepen your understanding of the material and refine your skills as a practitioner in order to enhance your capacity to offer this work to others, then this program is for you.
“I left feeling so much gratitude to have the opportunity to be with like minded practitioners around the world—connecting, learning, growing, supporting and creating community together. I’ve already been able to apply what I’ve learned in my professional sessions with people this week.”
— ANNA, MENTORSHIP PARTICIPANT, NEW ZEALAND
