What our students say
“It’s been so fascinating to observe and learn through the modules how important it is to take somatic work slowly with people… you can slowly add in more movement and exercises with clients with time, once you build up that trust…”
“…I don’t have a fear of bringing somatics into sessions and I don’t have a fear of doing specifically somatics sessions.”
“I knew I spent a lot of time in my head and I now have more tools and understanding as to how to drop into my heart, my body and come from an authentic place in the moment.”
“Lucy and Rachel are a Pandora’s box of knowledge and wisdom. The take-away goes beyond the breath itself, I’ve been able to deepen my healing and manifest my dream career.”
“Learning from Rachel and Lucy has been a truly inspiring, empowering and healing experience. I’ve filled so many gaps in my knowledge of meditation, joining the WHP is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”
“Doing the Yin Yoga TT online with Rachel and Lucy has been an insightful and valuable journey, I learnt about yin, about mindfulness, and about myself.”
“I’ve learnt the beauty in the simplicity of the breath. The most stripped-back, seemingly simple techniques can have such profound benefits, and you can easily bring them into your life.”
“An absolute gem and now a go-to tool in my healing and teaching toolkit… their grounded, compassionate teaching style. Clear and free of jargon, it doesn’t just explain trauma, it gives you the tools to move through it.”

Meet Rachel & Lucy
We’re Rachel & Lucy, two teachers and two mums, co-founders of The Whole Health Project. After our sell-out Bali retreats closed during the pandemic, we turned years of teaching somatics, breath, meditation and yin around the world into our first online training, and we’ve been building it ever since. We built The Whole Health Project to make trauma-aware training accessible to everyone who holds space for others. We’re also the published authors of Somatic Practices for Trauma.
