Somatics taught by Master Somatic Coach Staci Haines is an Embodied Transformation Training and transformation that goes far beyond “somatic awareness.” This unique approach also includes somatic practices—our default, socially and subconsciously reinforced habits that no longer serve what we really care about—and somatic openings, which is what occurs when we transform nervous-system contractions.
Watch now to learn a quick and simple practice from somatics that reminds your body how to process overwhelm.
Somatic Work Is for Therapists, Too.
We are living in overwhelming times, simultaneously navigating a worldwide pandemic, climate change, political upheaval, racial injustice, economic turbulence, and war.
As therapists, we’re busier than ever helping clients process the daily stress and trauma of the past few years.
How do we find the calm and resilience we need to effect positive transformation in the lives of our clients and society at large?
Master Somatic Coach Staci Haines offers this brief video about using somatics to work with overwhelm.
