The body moves effortlessly, releasing deeply held stress and trauma you never knew was there. This is the promise of SomaSensing, the next generation of somatic movement education.

The journey begins with you
You already know!
The Somatic Movement Therapy Certification is more than learning new information; it is a process of transformation. Connecting you to "an inner knowing", that can't be taught. It can only be felt. Through sensing, listening and exploring with curiosity, you become aware of how the body and mind are connected, how your body "holds information". How you can connect to your whole self and discover:
✔Self-regulating biological blueprints.
✔ Your true nature from learned patterns.
✔ How sensation becomes information.
✔ How chronic stress and trauma become pain, fatigue and inflammation.
✔ How to release stress, strain and trauma through the body.
✔ How to unlock the self-healing, self-regulating process of fascial unwinding
✔ How to allow the body to self-regulate, self-organise, self-move and self-heal
✔ A sense of wholeness, integration and the body as a living system of nature​
