From the very start it was a welcoming, inclusive and supportive environment that allowed the whole group to instantly connect. The modules were not only enjoyable but hugely informative, offering a mix of theory, science, literature and practical examples/demonstrations. The amount of information packed into this course is enormous but it is all taught in a way that makes it feel manageable so you are able to integrate it fully. I am grateful to have been taught by Nathan (who is incredible!) and for now having the somatic tools to share with clients, as the impact they have within a session is actually mind-blowing! Thanks to everyone at the Somatic School for an incredible experience.

An incredible course that was been crafted with so much intention, purity and deep knowledge and wisdom. From day 1 you feel so well taken care of from all the staff at the Somatic School (even though the school is entirely online). The course itself gives you so much knowledge and tools to use in your coaching practice, but also becomes a journey of personal discovery. The teachers are beyond amazing and the students you meet in your cohort and in the community are incredibly inspiring people. Could not recommend more if you are looking for a coaching course that weaves in the wisdom of the body!

It's hard to put into words how much I got from the Body-Oriented Coaching training offered by The Somatic School. Yes, there is a long list of body-centred coaching techniques, the process map, and the foundational coaching skills. Yet, there are also all the subtle ways I have been challenged to put aside everything I thought I knew and bring my beginner's mind to learn how to learn anew; in the way that is embodied, that leans into and nurtures the curiosity, the way that fosters the aliveness. I learned that tending to these qualities is what ultimately cultivates the presence that holds the space for shifts and changes to occur in both the context of coaching relationships and our personal lives. Everything, from the structure of the course modules to the ongoing support through the invaluable Organic Intelligence Labs, to the mentoring process and so much more contributed to this learning. As a bonus, I gained a new, incredible community to be a part of and continue sharing my journey with for years to come. The only suggestion I have for the school is to consider extending the course to the whole year, giving even more time for the integration of each Module so that, them being as rich as they are, there is more space for it to be practised and absorbed. Thank you The Somatic School!

The Somatic School gave me the tools and understanding to not only become aware of my own bodies needs, but how to coach others to experience the magic of their own internal resources. The shifts I see session by session still blows me away. This school and the warm community within it has enabled me to create a beautiful and transformative business. The community here is beyond beautiful too. Thanks SS

I loved the Somatic School! It was an amazing experience of traveling with the same people over 6 months. The tools we learned were practical and easy to implement in my coaching practice. I feel equipped to take my client's on a deeper journey of exploring their bodies through embodied awareness training.

I am so glad I decided to start my journey as a somatic coach, or a "somanaut" as they say at the somatic school, here with them. While the somatic school does plenty of things right and has a really complete and competent curriculum, one of my favorite things about this certification program, and which I would like to distinguish is the cohort sizes, which are between 12 and 14 I believe.Through 6 months you will see each other develop into somatic coaches, practice with each other, witness each other, have a profound experience together and come into relationship with each other, which is all supported by a solid learning framework and really great trainers. This means you have plenty of access both during the module weekends as well as some additional calls to the trainers, also due to the moderate cohort sizes. At the same time, the somatic school community is large and also has plenty to offer in terms of varying cultural, national, and professional backgrounds, once you are going through or have completed a training. Truly a joy to be a part of.

This is a wonderful course to add somatic tools to your coaching, but it's also a transformative life experience. I learned as much from the way it was taught than from the content and experiential practice. There's not a lot of history or theory, so it really allows for you to get out of your head and into your body. Great reading lists point you to do more research on your own in case you have an intellectual side that desires it, but the class time itself is left light, free and hands-on so that you can truly connect with an embodied experience and learn "bottom up." One of the most satisfying learning experience of my life, and the first time from pre-K to Ph.D. that I felt 100% resonant with everything taught.

If you are researching where to learn somatics this is the place. The organization is top notch, the program is interesting and educational and personally satisfying. The instructors are so kind and easily connect to the cohort. I would do this course all over again happily. It’s been expansive and emotional and accessible and just amazing. I loved it.

I found the training and the sense of community really useful. The whole experience has supported me and led me to change the ways I offer coaching support. I would recommend the school to anyone looking to develop their skills in, and understanding of, the wonder of embodied somatic self awareness.

The Somatic School offers an incredible, caring, and detailed program. If you are interested in widening your tool kit and bringing integrated healing and nervous system regulation experiences to your clients I can't recommend it more. It felt so aligned to enroll in The Somatic School in order to really delve deeply into this field and offer that out to others. Thank you Somatic School!

If you’re here reading these comments on this page, chances are that you are curious about somatics, the body, and maybe even coaching…. Something might be whispering to your curiosity and I would simply say, trust that… What I gained from my experience in the Somatic School will forever impact the “way I human” and how I connect with those that I have the privilege to share a space with, whether in the university classroom, the dancehall, a coaching session or how I share online. You will be richly challenged and sweetly surprised if you say yes to this adventure… x

Learning is fun and profound. You will learn so much while being supported by just being yourself and trusting the space, trusting your cohort and all the facilitators/teachers/mentors are all so nurturing, wise, fun, and walk their talk! There are so many practical tools and practice sessions too.

Excellent course - the somatic school helped me develop the confidence to use the intelligence of the body in my coaching practice. The course can help any coach, no matter how experienced, to be a better coach.

I had a really positive experience here as part of my training and have frequently recommended this to others. The space was so gently held and I was part of the first cohort in 2019. It felt like we were tilling important new ground together. When I have used these skills with clients I heard from them that these were really transformational sessions and went deeply into their issues. Once you have felt what is going on for you in your body something radically changes. I have taken my life in new directions as a consequence of starting a journey here.
