No matter if you’re taking the Somatica Training for personal growth or professional development – it is guaranteed to transform your life and prepare you to be an expert coach in the field of sex and relationships.
Our experiential, in-depth, and deeply interpersonal curriculum gives you all the tools to launch a successful, lucrative, and fulfilling coaching practice.
Objective of the Curriculum
The Somatica Training is designed to not only teach you the skills to become a successful sex and relationship coach, but also unlock the secrets to emotional and sexual empowerment for yourself.
Throughout the Somatica training, you’ll master the tools to:
-
- Explore turn-ons and embrace different desires
- Turn relationship challenges into opportunities for intimacy
- Move beyond negative socialization and shame through self-acceptance
- Deepen embodiment and mindfulness
- Clarify boundaries and consent
- Discover and claim your unique identity across the gender and sexuality spectrum, whether you (or your clients) are cisgender, bi, gay, lesbian, transgender, non-binary, or genderqueer
- Understand oppression and privilege in sex, intimacy, and relationships
- Become empowered around trauma by learning to understand, self-sooth, and communicate
The Philosophy Behind the Curriculum
The Somatica Curriculum is based on the Somatica Method. It combines talk-based coaching with experiential practices in an authentic two-way relationship so people can practice intimacy tools in real-time. This process is proven to help participants change existing habits, uncover their true selves, and find more fulfillment and pleasure in their sex lives and relationships.
The Core Curriculum (Modules 1-6)
The Core Curriculum is your gateway to a better understanding of sex and relationships. It is designed to give you insights into your own beliefs and gently guide you toward a more accepting and open relationship with sex and intimacy.
Throughout the curriculum you will be engaged in hands-on practice to build confidence in yourself. You’ll dig deep to identify old wounds and traumas, and learn to confront them in an honest and healthy way. Plus, you’ll connect all of these skills to become more comfortable dealing with sexuality, both in yourself and in people around you.
The Core Curriculum is designed for aspiring sex and relationship coaches, individuals seeking personal growth, and licensed mental health professionals looking to build their toolkits.
