Who Is the IWA Somatic Practitioner Certification For?

A Transformational Path for Healers, Coaches, Therapists, and Wellness Professionals

Ready to support your clients on a deeper level? (I know I was 🙌)

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or newly stepping into the healing arts, the IWA Somatic Practitioner Certification offers a powerful opportunity to deepen your impact. This isn’t just another course—it's a shift in how you hold space for transformation.

When I began integrating somatic tools into my work, I noticed a dramatic difference. My clients were no longer just talking through challenges—they were actually feeling them, processing them, and moving through them in embodied, lasting ways.

Let’s explore who this certification is for—and why so many coaches, therapists, yoga instructors, and wellness professionals are adding somatic coaching to their toolkits.

Why Somatic Coaching Is So Effective

Somatic work recognizes that real healing doesn’t just happen in the mind—it happens in the nervous system and in the body. The IWA Somatic Practitioner Certification teaches evidence-informed somatic practices that help people move out of chronic stress, reconnect with their bodies, and access their innate capacity for regulation and resilience.

You’ll learn how to:

☀️ Support the unique regulation needs of each nervous system
🌿 Work with trauma in a respectful, embodied way
🤎 Create safety and choice in every interaction
🙏 Be part of a vibrant community of practitioners transforming lives from the inside out

Who Is This Certification For?

✨ Healers & Energy Workers

If you’re already supporting clients with intuitive, energetic, or spiritual work, somatic practices can bring even more depth to your sessions. This training helps you guide clients into the felt sense of their energy blocks—inviting physical awareness, emotional release, and greater integration. It's a natural fit for energy healers ready to work with the body as a bridge between the subtle and the tangible.

🧘 Yoga Instructors & Mind-Body Facilitators

As a yoga teacher or movement practitioner, you already understand the importance of breath, embodiment, and presence. Somatic coaching allows you to offer students trauma-sensitive tools that help them build nervous system resilience both on and off the mat. By layering in practices like interoception, titration, and orienting, you’ll help students safely explore and expand their capacity.

🧠 Coaches & Life Mentors

If you're a coach working with mindset, motivation, or life transitions, you’ve likely seen how clients can get stuck even when they “know what to do.” That’s where somatics comes in. When you help clients regulate their nervous systems, they become more available for insight, action, and sustained change. This training gives you powerful tools to go beyond mindset work and meet clients where they truly are—in their bodies.

💆 Massage & Bodywork Therapists

For bodyworkers and massage therapists, somatic coaching enhances what you’re already doing. You’ll learn how to support your clients not just during the hands-on work, but afterwards—with tools that help them integrate what their bodies are releasing. Many therapists find that somatic work brings a deeper emotional awareness to the physical body and reduces the likelihood of rebound tension after sessions.

🪷 Mental Health Therapists & Counselors

If you're a licensed therapist or counselor, this training offers a powerful complement to modalities like CBT, EMDR, or parts work. Because trauma often lives in the body beyond words, adding somatic skills allows you to help clients regulate their nervous systems, work with stuck survival responses, and access more holistic healing. This is especially impactful for clients navigating complex trauma, anxiety, or chronic dissociation.

🌿 Holistic & Integrative Wellness Practitioners

Nutritionists, herbalists, acupuncturists, and other integrative providers are seeing the value of addressing stress at its root. This certification gives you simple but profound tools to help clients shift out of fight-or-flight and into rest, repair, and digestion—the states where healing actually happens. Whether you’re supporting gut health, hormonal balance, or immune regulation, somatic coaching gives your work deeper staying power.

How This Training Changed My Practice

“This isn’t just more training—it’s transformation. For you and your clients.”

Since integrating somatic coaching into my work, I’ve seen clients experience profound shifts that used to take months of talking. My self-care practice has grown too. I’ve developed more presence, more capacity, and more confidence in how I hold space.

This work has not only helped my clients heal—it’s helped me thrive as a practitioner.
