For coaches, therapists and bodyworkers who want tools to work with Trauma and Body Memory

Are you tired of going round and round talking about the same issues with your clients? Or meeting the same blocks and rigidity in their body after it looked like it had shifted the last session? 


Wouldn't it be great to have a way to resolve these patterns via an ancient and intelligent system inbuilt into every one of your clients?


And in a way that increases mindfulness, self-awareness,  presence and an improved quality of life? 



Introducing.. 

The Nervous System and this 3-part Somatic Therapy Training

You'll learn...

✔️ How the brain lays down repetitive patterns, behaviours and feelings states that can be worked with via the map of the nervous system,

✔️ How to work with body memory so your client doesn't need to re-tell or re-traumatise in order to heal,

✔️ The keys you need to embody to help your very heady or resistant clients to drop into presence and listening to their body,

✔️ The tool kit to work with trauma within your scope of practice,

WHO IS THIS TRAINING FOR?

  • Counsellors or therapists wanting to have a deeper understanding of the role of the body and how to incorporate that into their current work,

  • Psychotherapists and bodyworkers,

  • People wanting to work with the instinctual brain (in themselves or their clients) for greater health and thriving.

If that's you...

Do you want to learn how to use your clients' body intelligence to heal and resolve stuck-ness, trauma, depression or anxiety?


Want to support them into more natural thriving based on their ancient biology and yours?



"I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Amanda for delivering this training, I've really loved Amanda's style of delivery.
This is my first introduction to Somatic therapy, and I have found it incredibly helpful in learning about myself, my own nervous system, and how the nervous system plays a significant part in our lives. 
The information has been really comforting, and it has supported my own established knowledge. Thank you so much again".  - Apikali, counsellor

You blew my mind ...

"Amanda you blew my mind with your generosity of sharing your knowledge and actual experience. I loved cementing and growing my love for the wisdom of the body. Finding new ways to listen, and understanding how to guide someone gently though trauma and unreleased emotion, so that the body can release naturally and we can begin to befriend the whole spectrum of feelings."
- Jody, Health Coach

WHO RUNS THIS WORKSHOP?

Hi, I'm Amanda and I've been working "somatically" for 16+ years

I started out as a bodyworker and moved to Somatic Therapy and coaching when I realised I really wanted to be able to work with the patterns in the mind and emotions that were creating the tension or collapse I was meeting on my massage table.

I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Lead Essence Coach with the Essence School (amongst many other things) and am deeply in love with my work. I find working somatically is very soulful.. the body is a place of such wisdom, depth, and intelligence.

I look forward to sharing what I know with you.


"I have much more awareness of my client's physical cues, and ways to help them move things through their body simply and effectively. In this training you'll learn simple tools which are easily transferrable, in a practical and embodied way, plus be supported as you integrate the learnings and tools. Dive in!" - Emma, coach and meditation teacher

What others have said:

I finally have a tool that ushers release through the body’s own intelligence

Marissa - Bodywork and Wellbeing expert

Somatic experiencing with Amanda is profound. After working with mind-body connection and therapies for 20 years, I finally feel like I have a tool that ushers release through the body’s own intelligence in a gentle and very respectful way. I feel deeply cared for as the practitioner which provides my own health with such relief.

Having studied with Amanda online, I am awed at how subtle yet powerful online somatic experiencing can be, which is such an important medium for thriving human connection in these times. My own somatic awareness has also improved, leading to more fulfilling work and personal relating. I wholeheartedly recommend your course to all body workers and anybody who desires to be deeply present and available to humanity.

I gained so many new skills and tools I could take away and apply to my own clients

Treysi Orion - Transpersonal Counsellor

Amanda delivered theory and practical tools in such a succinct and easy to understand way that I felt I gained so many new skills and tools I could take away and apply to my own clients as a Transpersonal Counsellor.

. For my own healing journey I gained new insights and understanding of patterns still present in my nervous system and body. I would highly recommend this training for anyone curious about the nervous system and our ‘animal body’ and/or anyone who wants to deepen their skills as a therapist regardless of modality.

Deeply important information for clinicians, beautifully presented.

Georgie - Psychologist

I did the Somatic Therapy training last weekend and it was absolutely worthwhile. Amanda Patterson knows her stuff. Deeply important information for clinicians, beautifully presented. Highly highly recommend - Georgie, psychologist

A knowing which brings greater safety and a faster let go

Helen

"Experiencing this art-form, I have become fascinated by the habitual patterns of my thoughts and body reactions. This has now has created a path “interuptus”.. of a knowing which brings greater safety and a faster let go once I am present to my body awareness. Amazing course and gentle, wise wisdom from the continual sage of SlowDown!"

Professional, embodied, wise, loving and insightful

Claudine - Transpersonal Counsellor and Womens Sexual Wellness Guide

I totally loved the course. Professional, embodied, wise, loving and insightful. It was a real joy and inspiration to be in the training with you! ... and best of all, we have a zoom follow call still to come! Thank you 🙏 ✨🙏

I've seen a deepening of how I work as well as my clients results

Jerika - Soul-led coach and Psychic

Amanda's workshop was a beautiful and powerful (much like Amanda herself) learning experience... Simple and powerful somatic experiencing tools were presented in a clear and grounded way. I've already started integrating what I've learned into how I work with clients and have seen a deepening of how I work as well as my clients results.

You blew my mind with your generosity of sharing your knowledge and actual experience.

Jody - Shiatsu Therapist and Circle Guide

Amanda you blew my mind with your generosity of sharing your knowledge and actual experience.

I loved cementing and growing my love for the wisdom of the body. Finding new ways to listen, and understanding how to guide someone gently though trauma and unreleased emotion, so that the body can release naturally and we can begin to befriend the whole spectrum of feelings.

I wish I had known about you when I was first in Therapy! I am looking forward to integrating what I have learnt and using it and even diving in some more.

I can see how somatic tools help empower a client ..

Dee Dee - Coach

What I loved about your workshop was how professionally it was delivered from beginning to end.
I loved the way you described how you would work with a client from the start of a session. Your delivery was really clear for me too and I learned heaps of great techniques and tools that I can use with my own clients. I feel this is an aspect of therapy that is missing from my coaching/counselling delivery.

I can see how somatic tools help to empower a client to find awareness/acceptance of their felt-sense and internal world and in achieving this, to find a way of releasing the grips of trauma. Thank you so much for a really enlightening afternoon!!

Thanks Amanda for the Great Value you deliver!

Nitya

"I participated in Amanda’s short somatic therapy training for practitioners, and loved the way the day was designed, simple yet powerful. I learned new insights about the nervous system and was reminded about some very important foundations for how to truly support my own clients.
I love the way Amanda really walks her talk and holds a supportive container for learning.
I’ve gained new awareness about my own nervous system and how past trauma’s have influenced me, and am feeling an increased awareness and inspiration about my own healing and greater ability to support my own clients after this training, Thanks Amanda for the Great Value you deliver!"
