What People Are Saying

Melissa Jones

This training helped me reconnect with my body in ways I didn’t even realize I needed. The somatic practices were simple yet powerful, and the trauma-informed approach made me feel safe the entire time. I’ve started integrating these tools into my classes and private sessions with great results.

Trent Williamson

The Somatic Healing Certification gave me the structure and confidence to introduce body-based techniques into my client sessions. The blend of neuroscience, movement, and breathwork is incredibly effective. I’ve seen clients open up in ways that traditional talk coaching couldn’t reach.

Erica Quinto

Before this course, I didn’t realize how disconnected I was from my own body. Now I not only have tools to support my own healing but feel equipped to hold space for others more intentionally. The course materials were thorough, and the practices felt like a gift each day.

Sarah Miller

This course helped me understand trauma, healing, and the nervous system in a way no other training has. The practices are gentle yet powerful, and I now bring them into all of my classes. It was healing for me and empowering for my work.

Marcus Bellor

MVP made complex somatic concepts easy to grasp and immediately applicable. I appreciated the balance between scientific insight and embodied experience. I now feel more confident holding space for clients navigating stress and emotional dysregulation.

Leila Jones

I took this course to better serve my clients in trauma recovery—and it delivered. The emphasis on nervous system safety, interoception, and emotional regulation changed how I show up professionally and personally.

Jason Timms

Before this training, I taught yoga but wasn’t truly embodied. This course gave me the tools to feel safe in my body and teach from that place of authenticity. The somatic meditations and movement practices are now part of my daily routine.

Olivia Denoir

Being able to work through the material at my own pace was a huge plus. The course was thorough without being overwhelming, and the instructors are incredibly compassionate. It’s one of the best investments I’ve made in my professional development.

Rachel Knox

I came into this training exhausted and disconnected. The somatic tools I learned here helped me recover from burnout and reclaim my energy. I now integrate them into client sessions and have seen a profound difference in outcomes. Highly recommend.
