A Little About Somatica
Somatica Institute trains coaches to help people create deeper connection, more fulfilling relationships, and more authentic experiences of intimacy and sexuality.
Unlike approaches that focus primarily on giving advice or talking about change, Somatica training is experiential.
Students learn how to help clients practice communication, boundaries, vulnerability, intimacy, dating, relationship skills, and other forms of connection in real time.
The Certification Pathway combines professional coach training with an experiential learning environment designed to help students develop both the skills they will use with clients and their own capacity for connection.
You Don’t Need to Already Be a Coach
Somatica students come to this work from many different backgrounds.
Some already work in coaching, therapy, sexuality, wellness, education, or other helping professions.
Others are changing careers or beginning an entirely new professional chapter.
What matters for this scholarship is not having the perfect résumé.
We want to understand why you feel called to this work and what you hope to do with it.
