Soma+IQ breathwork
practitioner certification

We teach you how to read the body, regulate the nervous system, and help people feel safe enough to let go.

#1 Emotional Intelligence & Trauma-Informed Somatic Training Accredited by Arizona State University.
SOMA+IQ: THE WORK

an experiential training that builds YOU first

We believe the best practitioners are the ones who've been through the work themselves. So everything here is experiential and relational - you won't learn this by lecture, you'll learn it in the practice. That's what it means to be a practitioner. Hands-on, relational, and immediately usable in your own life, not just your clients'.
ONLINE

12 weeks. 80+ hours. LIVE, mentor-led training in somatic breathwork, nervous system communication, and session design. Everything you need to confidently hold space for clients.

 

IN-PERSON

experience together

4 days, in person. Hands-on touch techniques, real-time facilitation practice, and the kind of embodied learning that online can't replicate.

 

ONGOING

continue together

The moment you enroll - join bi-monthly sessions, weekly somatic activities, continued education in a private community of 400+ practitioners who take this work seriously.

 

OUR PHILOSOPHY:

a modern approach
to nervous system healing.

 

Your nervous system learns safety from another nervous system. That's why breathwork is guided: a practitioner holds the space, for one person or a room. We co-regulate with others before we can settle on our own.

A session moves through an arc of upregulation and downregulation, resetting the nervous system and giving a person the chance to release what they've held, so the mind can clear. It works three things at once: mindset, emotions, nervous system.

The emotion moves. The body settles. The mind clears. We call it clearing to become clear.

THE PROGRAM

The #1 Somatic
training


accredited by
Arizona State University.

We teach the somatic side of change: the physiology of breath, the language of the nervous system, and how to put both to work in a real session. You'll start with your own body. The patterns you run, the places you hold, the way your own breath moves you between states. That's the foundation, because the steadiness you offer a client is one you've found in yourself first. From there, you learn to guide. How to read another nervous system, lead the breath, and hold a session from open to close, online and in person.

(Licensed professionals earn CEU credits upon completion.)

Who this program

was created for:

Coaches

Expand beyond mindset alone. Learn somatic methods that help your clients deeply integrate change.

Therapists

Enhance traditional therapy by integrating neuroscience-informed somatic techniques.

Practitioners

Advance your expertise with proven somatic methods that safely guide clients through nervous system healing.

Body-Workers

You already know the body holds everything. Soma+IQ teaches you what to do when it starts to let go.

The Curriculum:

Weeks 1-3: Self-Discovery & Meta Skill Development

Alignment, attunement, and holding space. The meta-skills that separate facilitation from real safety in a room. You start with yourself.
Expand

Somatic Self-Inquiry: Track what's happening in your own body. Sensation, emotion, the patterns you run on.

Alignment: Notice when you're out of alignment, and find your way back.

Attunement: Read the subtle cues of another nervous system. Meet them with curiosity instead of judgment.

Holding Space: Create a space where anything can be felt. No agenda, no fixing.

Full Session + Integration: Put it all together in a complete guided journey, then map your path forward.

Weeks 4-7: Session Structure and the Science

How to guide a session from open to close, and the science of what happens when someone drops from their story into their body.
Expand

Session Foundations: Structure a full session with the ARC framework. Build the safety a client needs first.

Nervous System Communication: Guide with your voice, pacing, and presence. Speak to the body, not just the mind.

Emotional Release: Help a person move an emotion they've been holding. Titrate the intensity so release stays safe.

Building Rapport: Establish trust in the first few minutes. Set the relational tone a deep session depends on.

Weeks 8-12: Integration and Practitioner Mastery

Post-session care, session design for different contexts, and real-world facilitation with direct mentor feedback. You'll lead actual sessions, get supervised, and walk out knowing you can hold a room.
Expand

Integrating Transformation: Turn a breakthrough into lasting change. Open and close so the shift holds.

Session Design: Design the whole experience. Space, music, pacing, setup.

Leading Full Journeys: Guide complete breathwork journeys with real-time feedback, until confidence becomes real.

Launching Your Practice: Certify, and set up the business side so you can actually practice.

THE FOUNDATIONS:

by the end of our program, you’ll have embodied…
