course description
🌿
This course is an immersive, 6 week experience into your body & mind. It is designed to deliver all of the necessary tools, techniques, and philosophies to begin healing trauma holistically and naturally just through listening to your body. The language of the body is sensation. When we learn to feel these sensations & communicate with them we begin a lifelong dialogue of listening to ourselves and releasing trauma/stress as they occur - so we don't live a life resulting from a build-up of stress/trauma in the body. Better health, better mindset, and a better life are the usual results of this work.

Meet Your teacher
I am a Somatic Therapist & Educator, a musician, a father, & a husband. I healed myself of chronic illness when I was 18 years old, using only food. I went onto study & apprentice whole food & herbal healing and began helping people manage their PTSD, anxiety, and chronic health issues with diet alone through my private nutrition practice.
Then, in 2015, I discovered somatic therapy & went to the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute for a 3 year immersive training to practice Somatic Experiencing. This was the missing puzzle piece for my work. Now I had a way to help people release trauma from their bodies with various exercises & practices.
To meet the growing need for my work, I started his course so that people could begin working with their own trauma by learning how to speak to their bodies themselves. It's an incredible and affordable way to begin the journey now.
For more information on me and my work, listen to the first episode on my podcast: how I transformed my trauma into a gift and then into this work that I do. This course is just one of the many gifts I have the pleasure of sharing with you.
