Resources for Modern day Somatic Healing

Whether it’s solving the mental health crisis, reducing people’s dependency on prescription or over-the-counter medication, increasing the efficacy of diversity, equity, and inclusion programming, or fixing the engagement crisis in the corporate world – somatic coaching holds the key.

Since ancient times, somatic healing work has been the sought-after cure of all kinds of ailments of the body and mind. Gaining recent popularity in therapeutic work, bodymind solutions such as massage, yoga, and mindfulness have become an astounding mainstream presence. Yet many somatic healing modalities are still relegated to the healing and wellness space- or reserved only for therapeutic professionals.

Healing can be seen as a dangerous word in the coaching space. Since coaches aren’t supposed to talk about the past nor address therapeutically based strategies, the “H” word will be one your clients long to talk about but as a coach you might find yourself avoiding the topic altogether. It’s our hope that with this blog and other resources you will find here at the Somatic Coaching Academy you’ll realize the root of health (in any area of life) comes from our ability to perceive physical, mental, and emotional wholenss. That wholeness IS the healing we crave. The fact that we aren’t talking about it or are scared of it is the reason so many of societies solutions in health, business, and relationships fail… or leave us less than totally fulfilled. 

The coaching methods brought at the Somatic Coaching Academy were created by holistic professionals for everyone to use. Many people wish they could employ therapeutic solutions like EMDR and somatic experiencing with their clients, however these holistic healing strategies are reserved only for therapeuticaly licensed professionals.
