Healing Somatic Movement:
Level 1 Teacher Training
Where Embodiment Meets Teaching with Skill, Confidence and Integrity
If you’ve attended my previous immersion weekend for Healing Somatic Movement and you’re looking to hone and refine your skillset as a teacher—this is your next step.
These two days offer a deeper dive into the art, application and teaching of this practice where you’ll gain the knowledge, confidence, and embodiment you need to integrate somatic movement into your work, classes or offer stand-alone somatic sessions in a way that’s real, rooted, and transformative.
Whether you're a yoga teacher, movement facilitator, coach, therapist or healing practitioner, this training will support you to translate your somatic understanding into teachable, transformative sessions.

Refine your understanding of the somatic principles introduced in the Immersion Weekend
-
How to sequence and guide somatic classes with clarity and nuance
-
How to help students access felt sense, internal safety, and subtle awareness

Kind Words...
“This work has completely changed how I teach—and how I listen to my body. Deborah’s way of guiding is spacious, wise and grounded."
- Lucy, Yoga Teacher & Coach
Deborah always inspires me with her teachings, she is welcoming and considerate in the information she delivers and space she holds. In all the trainings I have taken with many different teachers, Deborah's is always the one's I enjoy the most! This somatic weekend was a delightedly way to spend my weekend and all the information shared and experience was so useful and enjoyable. Whether you do yoga or not, this course is a great way to 'get into the body' and do some self exploration. I highly recommend anything with Deborah.
