Testimonials
What Our Students Are Saying
Will & Aurianna create the safest space for students to be their whole selves... I felt very validated and supported... It was incredible to deepen my knowledge surrounding our nervous system... honor the knowing of my system in a new way.
This program contains information that every single person (and especially helping professionals) need to know... Trauma and Somatics was the MISSING PIECE to helping me to understand how to do this deep work with better results...
Before this course, I doubted my ability to handle trauma... I can now more confidently lean in to holding space for others because I deeply trust my capacity to be with any trauma responses and I know what to do when activation occurs.
I never thought I could be so profoundly changed by a 35-hour course... There is enough theory on the internet; we truly need embodiment... Undoubtedly, this course was a turning point in my life.
My language has transformed and I have a much deeper, empathetic understanding... If your goal is to effect aligned, safe, and considerable change in your clients, going through this program is an absolute must.
