Soma+IQ Year-Long Mentorship + Level 2 Somatic Practitioner Certification

A year-long mentorship for Level 1 Graduates designed for facilitation mastery, deep personal transformation + the first‑ever Level 2 Somatic Practitioner Training.

You must have completed Soma+IQ Level 1 (online or in-person) to apply.

 
The SOMA+IQ Year-long Mentorship is our most intimate offering: a year-long developmental container for Level 1 graduates who feel called to deepen their own work, expand their capacity to hold others, and build the foundations of embodied leadership.

This is not an instructor or trainer certification. It does not authorize you to lead SOMA+IQ practitioner trainings or certify others. It strengthens you as a practitioner and leader.

Inside this year, you'll complete the Level 2 Somatic Practitioner Certification Training - our advanced practitioner training that many of you have been asking about. The mentorship gives you a full year of practice and support wrapped around that Level 2 experience.
Applications for the 2026 mentorship + Level 2 are now open to 20 people only.

Applications for the 2026 mentorship + Level 2 are now open to 20 people only.

 

The First-Ever Level 2 Somatic Practitioner Certification Training:

Included inside the year-long mentorship. Prerequisite: completion of Soma+IQ Level 1 (online or in‑person).

For a long time, practitioners have been asking: "When is Level 2 coming? What's inside it? 

This is it.

Dates & Location:

  • April 30 – May 3, 2026
  • Denver, CO
  • 4 full days, in person
  • Tuition is included when you’re in the Mentorship
  • Travel and lodging are not included

What Level 2 Is:

Level 2 is our advanced facilitation and somatic coaching training.

It's where you learn to work with people beyond the breathwork session - in conversation, in ongoing support, and in the long-term integration of what surfaces during their sessions.

You'll build on the meta-skills from Level 1 (holding space, reading nervous systems, tracking patterns) and apply them in coaching and dialogue, not just inside the breathwork journey.

This is not psychotherapy. Everything remains somatic-based facilitation rooted in the body, nervous system, and relationship.

What You'll Deepen Into:

1. Somatic-Based Coaching for Integration
  • How to stay with someone after a big session
  • Helping them orient to what happened, name body-based shifts, and apply it to real life
  • Using clean, somatic-oriented questions to support long-term change - not analysis, not fixing

2. Advanced Hands-On Touch Techniques

(Used within your scope of practice)

  • Rocking techniques to soften holding patterns
  • More precise, pinpoint-based touch to support expression and release
  • An energetic balancing touch protocol to help clients feel more organized and present

 

3. Theme Design & Session Architecture
  • Creating specific themes for breathwork sessions
  • Designing breath holds and arcs based on your audience and intention
  • Matching pacing, language, and music to the nervous system states you're working with

There's an equation to this. We'll teach you how to curate sessions that land differently depending on who's in the room.

4. Working with Groups
  • Deepening confidence in group dynamics (corporate, specific populations, group somatic containers)
  • Reading and regulating the "room" as one organism
  • Communicating clearly to many different nervous systems at once

5. Head, Heart, and Body Integration
  • Using breathwork to support nervous system regulation (body)
  • Deepening emotional range and fluidity (heart)
  • Then working with patterns of thought and the inner critic (head)
  • Creating more congruence between what someone feels and how they think

The goal is congruence - where what someone feels and what they think are no longer at war.

6. Real-Time Feedback
  • You'll receive all of the techniques first so you can feel them in your own body
  • Then you'll practice them with supervision and feedback before bringing them to clients

Inside the mentorship, Level 2 doesn't stand alone. It sits in the middle of a full year of practice, support, and integration so it can actually land in your system and in your work.

What This Mentorship Does (and Doesn't) Give You:


Short answer:

  • Mentorship: not a certification
  • Level 2: yes, a practitioner certification

The year-long mentorship itself is not a certification and does not make you a Soma+IQ instructor.
 

You Will NOT Be Able To:

  • Run or facilitate official SOMA+IQ group trainings
  • Teach SOMA+IQ practitioner trainings
  • Call yourself a "SOMA+IQ Instructor" or "SOMA+IQ Trainer"

What This Mentorship Actually Gives You:

  • A full year of embodied leadership and nervous system literacy
  • Apprenticeship inside live trainings (online and in person)
  • Direct feedback from Steven and Adam on how you hold space
  • A deeper, more grounded way of showing up that people can feel

How You Can Use the Work:

You can integrate the principles and tools into your 1:1 coaching, bodywork, and leadership with appropriate attribution.

You can bring this into your existing practice in ways that feel honest and aligned.

The main transmission isn't the technique - it's your presence.

When you're more regulated, more grounded, and more connected to yourself, the people around you feel it. That's what changes things.

The Path to Becoming a Mentor or Instructor (Eventually):

This mentorship is the starting point, not a guarantee.

Any future mentor or instructor role will depend on:

  • Your readiness
  • Your alignment with the work and the team
  • How clearly you embody the principles over time, not just understand them

 

Apply Here for the 2026 Mentorship
 

Baseline Requirement:

You must have completed SOMA+IQ Level 1 (online or in-person).

This Mentorship Is for You If:

  • You want to witness how we actually facilitate. You'll see firsthand how SOMA+IQ creates transformational experiences - online and in person - and learn by being inside the work, not just observing from the outside.

  • You're willing to go all in for a full year. This is a deep dive into your own transformation, not a quick add-on or another certification to stack.
  • You value depth over speed. You're here to work through your own patterns so you can recognize them clearly in the people you serve.

  • You want a tight-knit community. You're excited to grow alongside a small cohort, building strong relationships both online and in person.

  • You have the time and capacity to:

    • Attend the live calls (we'll share the full schedule in advance)
    • Show up ready to participate, not just watch
    • Engage in the community space throughout the year
  • You want to become the strongest practitioner you can be first - and let great facilitation and teaching grow naturally from that foundation.

This Mentorship Is Not for You If:

  • You're mainly looking to collect more tools or certifications.
  • You want a quick win rather than a long-term practice.
  • You don't realistically have space in your life for a year-long commitment.
  • You're more interested in techniques than in doing your own internal work.

Apply Here for the Mentorship
 

Short Answer: Yes

You must have completed SOMA+IQ Level 1 (online or in‑person) before joining the 12‑Month Mentorship.

Why Level 1 is required:

  • This mentorship is not for beginners and does not teach the foundations from scratch.
  • Level 1 gives you the baseline:
    • Core principles and nervous system work
    • Relational dynamics and somatic literacy
    • Shared language and trust inside the Soma+IQ framework
  • The mentorship year is about depth, not discovery - applying and embodying what you’ve already experienced.

What we’ll be asking of you in the mentorship:

  • A year‑long journey into self‑discovery, embodied leadership, and practitioner mastery.
  • Working with eight core principles you can apply personally and professionally.
  • Participating in live trainings (online and in‑person):
    • Holding space for students
    • Watching how we facilitate
    • Practicing these skills in real time

Without Level 1, you wouldn’t have the somatic or relational foundation to do this safely - for you or for the people you’d be supporting.

Level 2 access:

  • You cannot attend the Level 2 Somatic Practitioner Certification Training unless you’ve completed Level 1 (online or in-person).
  • This mentorship is for people who have that foundation and are ready to go deeper.

Container size & enrollment:

  • This is a small, intimate mentorship (max 20 people).
  • Enrollment closes on February 9th so we can set the container and begin together on February 11th.

If you’ve completed Level 1, feel genuinely called to this path, and can commit to the year, you’re invited to apply.

What Happens on the Live Mentorship Calls:

Over the year, you'll have 18 live mentorship calls with Steven and Adam - not including prep or integration calls for your online and in-person trainings.

These calls are in addition to the Tuesday practitioner training calls you'll attend during your two 12-week online cycles.


8 Lecture + Experience Calls:

These aren't just information sessions. They're deep dives into the principles that make this work relational, not technical.

You'll explore:

  • The foundations of embodied facilitation
  • How nervous systems communicate and co-regulate
  • What it actually means to hold space without fixing or rescuing
  • How your own patterns show up in the room - and how to work with them

Each call includes guided experiences so you're not just learning concepts - you're feeling them in your own body, seeing your own edges, and building the internal capacity to stay present with intensity.

The truth is simple: We can only take others as deep as we've gone ourselves.

8 Live Coaching + Q&A Calls:

These calls are where the work becomes yours.

Bring what you're actually moving through:

  • Patterns showing up in your practice or your life
  • Moments where you lost yourself or shut down
  • Questions about facilitation, boundaries, or how to apply what you're learning

Steven and Adam will help you unpack real situations in real time - not theoretically, but through what's alive for you right now.

You'll also witness others being coached, which deepens your own learning. Watching someone else work through their edge often illuminates your own.


These 16 calls are the core of the mentorship:

They're the consistent thread throughout the year-space set aside each month to deepen your understanding of the work and, more importantly, of yourself.

  • Actively supporting the container by checking in with students and partnering during exercises

Before each training: A prep call with the mentorship group to get aligned
