“Was a bit hesitant about buying an online course, but it was absolutely worth it. The somatic movements were a game-changer, I didn’t realize how much tension I was holding in my body until I tried them. The detailed explanations and downloadable videos make it easy to practice at my own pace. I feel like I’ve learned more here than in months of reading books on trauma ”
Maya “This course made complex trauma concepts easy to understand and apply in my daily life.”
Iggy “the course gave me a deeper understanding of my own trauma than I ever expected. The module on trauma responses helped me see patterns in my behavior I wasn’t aware of before. The somatic exercises take some practice, but they really help release the stress I’ve carried for years. ”
Anonymous “I didn’t know much about somatic therapy before taking this course, but I’m glad I did it. The practical exercises are incredible, and the psychoeducation part is clear and easy to follow. Some of the science-heavy sections were a bit overwhelming at first, but the summaries really helped. I’m using daily some of the techniques I’ve learned ”
Andrey “As a professional, I appreciated how well-structured and trauma-informed the course content was.”
Aldo “The combination of movement exercises and the polyvagal theory module was eye-opening. It helped me connect the dots between my nervous system and my emotions, making sense of reactions I’ve had for years. I now feel like I have a better understanding of why my body responds the way it does, and I finally have tools to start working with it rather than against it. It’s been an empowering experience, and I’m so glad I took the leap.”
Anonymous “As a therapist, I was looking for ways to expand my approach to trauma work, and this course delivered. The somatic interventions are practical and effective, and the emphasis on safety and co-regulation gave me new insights for working with clients. I wish there was more detail in a couple of the modules, but overall, this has been a fantastic investment.”
Daria “This is the first time I feel hope and progress in my healing journey.”
Zoe “If you’re serious about trauma healing, this course is worth every penny. The movements and postures aren’t just exercises, they feel like tools for real transformation.
