Nancy Thompson

As an LMFT, I frequently work with individuals and couples looking to resolve stress and somatic tension in their body and I've gone through other somatic trainings in the past. This is by far the best somatic training available. My clients are reporting life changing results and I'm witnessing total transformation. Amazing!

Jordan Simpson

This course gave me exactly what I needed to take my somatic work to the next level. It not only deepened my understanding of assessment and session structure, but also helped me process my own nervous system patterns in a safe, supportive way.

Ana Martinez

The depth of this training is incredible. It goes far beyond surface-level techniques and explores how to truly hold space for complex trauma. The focus on interdisciplinary integration makes it useful whether you're in private practice or part of a clinical team.

David Ramirez

I appreciated how the course built progressively—starting with theory, then moving into application with clear examples and guided practices. The tools I gained have made my client sessions more focused, intuitive, and outcome-driven.

Janet Reyes

Before this course, I was hesitant to bring somatic work into client sessions. Now, I feel confident assessing needs, setting boundaries, and guiding clients through real embodiment. It’s made a huge difference in my effectiveness and confidence.

Lucas Mills

This training filled in the gaps between my counseling background and somatic techniques. It offered practical frameworks for nervous system-informed interventions and helped me understand how to ethically integrate somatics into clinical work.

Celeste Williamson

I loved the focus on both the practitioner and the client experience. This course reminded me that somatic healing starts with how we show up in our own bodies. The pacing was perfect, and the content felt both clinical and soulful.

kind words by students

Our students love MVP's approach to learning

"Somatic healing is an opportunity that has helped me to become more self-aligned. I am excited to help my clients. Somatic healing is a journey that will make my clients feel safe being present. They will have tools to help themselves during uncomfortable moments of being emotionally triggered."
Donna L.
"I’ve begun to apply somatics into my yoga classes. It’s subtle but I feel any student can benefit from a bit of body awareness. I try to piece together classes that help the student recognize the small changes in effort and to observe if sensation or thought accompany as well. Most of this is done with the use of props – the ground, wall, blocks, bolsters, chair."
Jennifer R.
"The Somatic Healing Certification course itself is designed well with step by step instructions, clear explanations and helpful video demonstrations."
