A moment you might recognise

You ask the question.
They answer.
And then?

You've helped someone open up. They can tell you where they feel it β€” a tight throat, a heavy chest, a knot in the stomach.

But the next step isn't always clear. So the conversation returns to the story, because that's familiar territory.

You don't need to abandon what you already do well. You can learn how to bring the body into it.

The moment after they answer

β€œThere's a knot in my stomach.”

What happens next?

A different kind of confidence

Imagine knowing your next move.

Not a dramatic technique. Not a forced breakthrough. Just a simple way to acknowledge a sensation, explore it with care, and notice what happens.

  • Stay with the body, not just the story.
  • Recognise when to slow down or resource.
  • Build on the way you already work with clients.

The practical framework

Three steps. One place to begin.

At the heart of the course is a simple progression called Locate, Explore, Witness β€” a structure for a moment that can otherwise feel uncertain.

01 / NOTICE

Locate.

Find where a sensation is showing up in the body.

02 / GET CURIOUS

Explore.

Make space to notice what it's like, without forcing it.

03 / STAY PRESENT

Witness.

Stay with the experience and observe what changes.

You'll also learn resourcing, pacing, listening, co-sensing and how to work within your professional scope.

What's included

Two trainings.
One grounded beginning.

Practical somatic first steps, plus trauma-aware foundations you can bring into your existing work.

Part 01

Somatic short course

Your First Steps in Somatic Facilitation

9 lectures and practices, plus a bonus, focused on what to do after a client names a sensation.

  • Resourcing and the art of listening
  • Locate, Explore, Witness
  • Titration, pendulation and pacing
  • Co-sensing and the therapeutic relationship
  • Bonus: why catharsis isn't the goal

Part 02

Included training

Trauma Aware Facilitation Training

The full 10-hour training, taught by Rachel and Lucy with clinical psychologist Lic. BegoΓ±a GarcΓ­a.

  • Understanding trauma and the nervous system
  • Window of tolerance and scope of practice
  • Responding when strong reactions arise
  • 10 CPD-accredited hours and certificate
  • Yoga Alliance (YACEP); NASM & AFAA continuing education

The CPD certificate applies to the included 10-hour Trauma Aware Facilitation Training, not the introductory somatic course.

Tools you can return to

Before you join

A few things you might be wondering.

Do I need prior somatic training?

No. This course introduces the foundations and lets you learn at your own pace.

Will I need to change the way I work?

No. It's intended to complement the coaching, counselling or facilitation approach you already use.

Does this certify me as a somatic therapist?

No. The introductory course isn't a somatic therapy certification. The included 10-hour Trauma Aware Facilitation Training has its own CPD-accredited certificate. Neither replaces clinical qualifications.

Can I use this with clients?

Only within your existing professional scope. Practise with a willing partner before bringing exercises into client work, and respect professional boundaries.

Can I upgrade later?

TWHP's offer describes a $197 credit toward the larger Somatic Foundations Facilitation Training if you decide to continue.

How long is access?

Lifetime access to the self-paced course material.

A practical next step

The next time they name a sensation, you'll have a place to begin.

Learn the first steps of somatic facilitation. Gently. Practically. In the way you already work.
