Trainings / Groups

We train helping professionals in many fields, including psychotherapy, mental health counseling, medicine, and dentistry to apply Somatic Transformation to a current practice or become certified Somatic Transformation Practitioners.

The trainings are in-depth, with a small group of peers, lead by Dr. Sharon Stanley. Students will experience an intensive, collaborative and interactive program designed to provide current research from neuroscience and dynamic therapeutic skills to enhance and inspire their practice.


Workshop With Life Architect—Starting September 16

I’m delighted to be taking part as a teacher in this three-month online training program from Life Architect: Integrating Somatic Techniques in Therapy.* I will be joining ten other renowned teachers in the field, including Bessel van der Kolk, Deb Dana, and Peter Levine for this unique, educational, and empowering opportunity.

I’d love to have you join me on this journey! During these three months, you will:

-Learn core concepts of somatic therapy, gain effective somatic tools, and integrate them into your practice.

-Gain confidence in using somatic techniques both online and in person, and help your clients reconnect mind and body in a safe, embodied way.

-Connect with like-minded mental health professionals in a supportive space for practice, reflection, and shared experience.
