A safe and accessible doorway into somatic awareness

Our bodies hold experiences that words alone cannot reach. When we work with people — as therapists, coaches, or helpers — it is often in the body that patterns of stress, trauma, and resilience are stored. Learning to notice and work somatically can open new possibilities for regulation, presence, and connection.

It was created by Tracy Jarvis, lead trainer of the Integrating Somatic Techniques in Therapy program.

Day 1 – The Power of Awareness

Discover why awareness is one of the most powerful tools in somatic therapy. Through real examples and a guided noticing practice, you’ll see how simple awareness — of sensations or the environment — can interrupt cycles of overwhelm and bring more presence.

Day 2 – Somatic & Interoceptive Awareness

Learn how tuning into the body — heartbeat, breath, impulses like fight or freeze — can support regulation and open space for change. A guided practice will help you gently explore body sensations and grounding.

Day 3 – Completing Truncated Responses

Explore how incomplete defense responses (fight, flight, freeze, collapse) often remain stuck in the body. Through a simple exercise, you’ll experience how even micro-movements can support a shift from immobilization toward more flow.
