+ Who is this program designed for?

This program is a certificate program that distills an educational methodology to integrate into a variety of modalities. It is ideal for:

• Therapists, coaches, and practitioners who want a deeper framework for working with trauma safely.

• IFS practitioners ready to expand into somatic literacy and neuroscience.

• Somatic therapists seeking a clearer map for parts work and trauma complexity.

• Helpers of all kinds (healers, facilitators, guides) who see trauma’s impact daily and want tools that are embodied, integrative, and effective.
  
  This is an education program and not a licenser program.
