Hello, I attended the in person training in November 2025 in Austin, TX. The largest impact was being able to recognize the beauty and healing in myself and others and how much we need each other to help clear out suppressed emotions and stress by using the power of breath. My favorite part about the training was the somatic awareness and practice exercises. I learned that I am able to attune and stay in attunement with my beloved, adult children, grandchildren, friends, clients and community. People can benefit from taking this training to learn about the nervous system and how to activate, listen and re-pattern themselves. That way people can be there for one another. People can feel each others commitment to one another with love. are awesome!

To everyone on the Soma+IQ squad, The in-person training was truly an awesome experience. It was a fascinating view into our personal and shared experiences, and the insights that came from it have been powerful and even life-altering. Mt biggest takeaway is that you all embody a beautiful sense of self. And collectively, it was a pleasure to watch how you all interact. It was a beautiful display of what it can look like when people are truly synced up with each other, working for something they care about, and supporting and encouraging each other along the way. Thank you all for embodying what you're sharing with us and the world. With my deepest respect, Scott

This training was incredibly powerful and transformational — and definitely the BEST out of all the trainings and certifications I have done! It has given me practical tools to not only support my own growth and expansion, but also hold space for loved ones and clients with more confidence, presence, and love. It has deepened my understanding of the nervous system, somatics, and how to guide and support people in emotional release and authentic expression. Doing this in person made it even more special and memorable because it reminded me of the power of human connection and doing this important work in community, heart to heart. Practicing the tools and techniques we learned (including hands on touch) on each other was also incredibly helpful and gave me the confidence to now hold sessions for others. My favorite parts were the hands on practices and exercises in small groups and with partners during the training, especially holding and receiving a full breathwork session on the last day! This was truly transformational and eye-opening for me. This training is SO much more than breathwork — it really is the foundation for living a more aligned, present, and fulfilling life. It helps you expand your capacity to feel and hold yourself in the full range of emotions, and as a result, hold others in their unique expression as well. And it allows you to move through life (and all its challenges, ups and downs) with more ease, trust, inner peace, and compassion. It has changed how I approach my personal life and my work as a somatic practitioner going forward, and I know it will change the lives of so many others! I am beyond grateful that I got to experience and go through this amazing and important training! Huge THANKS to the entire SomatIQ team, and all the participants in my group who made it so potent and special!

I had a truly transformative experience in the Soma + IQ training. The program challenged me in all the right ways, helping me develop stronger self-awareness, emotional clarity and the ability to respond rather than react in difficult situations. The tools and practices I learned have made a meaningful impact on both my personal and professional life, allowing me to feel more grounded, confident, and intentional. Anyone seeking growth- whether in leadership, communication, or personal development this could benefit enormously from this training. It offers practical techniques, powerful insights, and a supportive environment that empowers you to become the best version of yourself. Thank you to the Soma + IQ team for everything!

Soma+IQ's approach to breath work is so beautiful in its simplicity, yet so impactful in the way that it leverages our pure humanity and holding space for another. The focus on alignment and attunement has the potential to transform every relationship in our lives, not just those with our clients... I can't say more about their program or the leaders! I love everyone here and this family so much

1. The largest impact for me was the feeling of community-with strangers! Everyone was so kind and encouraging. 2. My favorite part about the training was the hands on experience and the Journey! 3. This training can benefit everyone, personally and professionally. Do it!

Through this somatic training course, the greatest gift I’ve received has been a heightened sense of awareness and presence. Throughout the day, I now find myself checking in more often, being mindful of my breath, my voice, my emotions, the sensations in my body, and the story playing in my mind. This has profoundly improved the quality of my life and the way I show up for myself, my friends, my family, and my clients. One of my favorite parts of the training was the breakout room connections. I loved getting to interact with different energies and souls. It’s such a beautiful and powerful way to learn and grow, even in an online setting. I truly believe that everyone could benefit from this experience in one form or another. At its core, the Art of Connecting portion alone is so fruitful. We aren’t often taught how to connect deeply, and many people don’t feel safe enough to do so. This container, however, amplifies that sense of safety to be seen, heard, and held. I am filled with deep gratitude that this course exists. Gratitude for the mentors who took their time to share their wisdom, hold space, and attune to our energies each session. Gratitude for each and every student walking the path alongside me as each were a reflection and held their own special medicine to share for this journey. And gratitude for my own journey. For how it has unfolded and how it will continue to shape the way I live and serve moving forward. With so much love and appreciation, AnaCristina

Incredible communication skills learned and my favorite part ended up being able to be in break out rooms and work with my peers ! I love the arc Breathwork pattern ..unlike any other course/style I looked into before picking Soma!

This training was the gentle nudge I needed to move into the next phase of my career and next phase of a spiritual, intentional life. I appreciate every mentor from the bottom of my heart. I am leaving feeling inspired and confident. Thank you!

The sincerity, commitment and generosity of the entire SomaIQ team as well as the class cohort has been inspiring and a safe container. Thank you!

The biggest impact is learning how powerful the breath is to help support us and our nervous systems. I appreciated those who led the classes and the support was excellent. I also appreciated how much others participated and supported also. I am delayed in the training but hope to catch up with the final weeks. Thank you for all your training and support! I will recommend this to interested friends.

I stumbled upon Soma+IQ breathwork during a hard time in my life. I had a lot going on outside of class, but every week, I would show up to class and leave feeling so grounded and present. I realized how much I've been suppressing my emotions my whole life, and not feeling confident expressing myself. After completing the training, I'm excited to help others live their fullest expression. I'm grateful for the incredible mentors and fellow students in my cohort. I was surprised over and over again by how much of a real and true connection can be made through zoom.

The biggest realization for me is that no one in the world makes me feel the way I feel; it's all within me, and I am the one causing it, regardless of the feeling or emotion, whether it's sad or happy. Meta exercise. They are incredible, and I learned so much from them about myself and my being. By taking this training, you will learn to connect with yourself, be present, and experience life on a whole new level. This was a life-changing experience for sure. I highly recommend.

Participating in the Somatic Breathwork Practitioner Training with Soma+IQ has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. It has deepened my connection to myself, expanded my capacity for presence, and taught me how to hold space for others with authenticity and compassion. The teachings, practices, and community have profoundly reshaped my understanding of healing and embodiment. I'm moving forward not only with new skills, but with a renewed sense of purpose and alignment in my life!! With immense gratitude,

I did not expect to go this deep in understanding my nervous system and realizing how much I’ve been holding in my body. I’ve discovered that this work is the quickest and most powerful way to reset myself and transmute stress, tension, or any negative emotions. In the past, I used to lean on substances to cope, but now I can’t believe how much more I’ve learned about regulating myself through breath and awareness. Because this is a trauma-informed training, it’s also helped me understand my own patterns and past experiences in a compassionate way, so I can hold space for others more safely. This journey has transformed me — not just through daily breathwork practice, but through learning to co-regulate with others and experiencing the profound impact that connection has on the nervous system. I’m deeply grateful and excited to bring this medicine into the world. I really loved connecting with the community during the breakout rooms. It felt so heartwarming to collaborate, share stories, and learn from other practitioners. Hearing different perspectives and approaches gave me inspiration for how I want to offer this work in my own way. I also deeply appreciated the lectures — the wisdom and presence of the teachers were truly inspiring. Even if you don’t plan to become a facilitator, this training is incredibly valuable for your own healing and growth. It teaches you how to down-regulate your nervous system and hold space for yourself and others with more compassion and understanding. It’s one of the greatest tools you can carry for your personal and spiritual evolution — learning how the breath can shift your mood, clear heaviness, and create space for clarity, love, and authenticity. This training has truly changed my life. Over the last 12 weeks, I’ve felt lighter, more grounded, and more in tune with myself. I don’t let little things affect me the same way anymore, because I now trust my breath as a tool to release and reset. I’m deeply thankful for this experience and for the community of practitioners I get to grow and collaborate with. It’s been such a high-vibe, heart-opening journey.

-The range section was incredible—it really showed me where I’m still learning and where I need more grace with myself. - Also learning how to truly hold space for others. -This experience taught me how to calm my own nervous system quickly and naturally, allowing me to show up more fully—not only for myself, but for those around me. It makes me feel deeply aligned with my soul path. Thank you all, so much, from the heart. ❤️

This was a once in a lifetime experience that was absolutely worth every penny and travel expense! I learned a whole new dimension of healing and made incredible connections with my classmates. I am so grateful for the respect, presence, and knowledge from all of the leaders.

I thought I was pretty comfortable with all ranges of emotions .... I was very surprised that my range for joy was actually very small in comparison to the others. The way Adrianna made me reframe my thoughts about sensuality, love, and joy has made the most intense change that never knew I needed. I am forever grateful. 2 weeks past in person training and I feel like I have a completely new baseline in life. 🥰 If you are a human you need this training.

Great place to learn breathwork. First learning how to breathe ourselves and then learning how to guide someone else. Wonderful cohort!

This training was truly transformational. I loved every moment of it. The biggest realization I had was how powerful the breath can be in shifting your emotional state and reconnecting with your body. My favorite part was the sense of connection — not just to others in the group, but also to a deeper part of myself. I think anyone feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or even just curious about personal growth would gain so much from this training. It’s a beautiful journey of healing and self-awareness.

I think that SBW would benefit everyone. It is life! It is so gentle and loving, and what most people nowadays need, to be seen and felt. I loved the community and the weekly practicing of skills as we learned. I adored the instructors, who always created a safe space to grow and try new things. I am a Craniosacral therapist, and I am so excited with how well this modality supports this and the strong connection between the too. I am so excited to add SBW to my practice!!!

Upon joining this training, I feel more confident, spacious, and excited to witness others in their processes. I realized the power of presence, space, and safety. Breath is the bridge into connection with ourselves and others. My favorite part about the training was the visceral exercises that spoke to the power of attunement. This training goes beyond breathwork, through cultivating a beautiful communal space to simply be, heal, and witness others in their journey. Thank you Mentors, you special souls hold a space within me.

I did the online 12-week course. It was amazing. Yes, 12 weeks seems like a long time but it is worth it to allow time to process, practice, and integrate. The mentors are all great, they are patient, they are funny and they are human!! For me, the course provided a sense of validation and boosted my confidence to be able to go out into the world and help others untangle the mind one string at a time.

The integrated one on one sessions were really beautiful because they were uncomfortable but filled with so much growth at the same time. I love that we learned so much about attuning to one another. Learning to have those vulnerable conversations with someone you just met is so transformative and absolutely brought me out of the comfortable shadow I was living in. Combining the mental work with the body work is the exact recipe for healing. This class offered way more than just breath it offered genuine love and connection! This work changed my life and it’s an honor to facilitate it for others!

I attended the virtual training. More than anything else, this course taught me about myself and the ways in which I interact with the world. It has helped me transform my relationships and my mental health in ways that many other modalities Ive tried could not. I am eternally grateful to have found this work. Through partner practices and breathwork sessions in class Ive been been able to realize (and clear out) so many mental blocks that have kept me feeling stuck. Ive been able to sit with myself. Ive been able to make conscious choices for myself with clarity, which is something I haven't been able to do in many many years. Thank you for your time and energy. You guys have helped me get my superpowers back.

I thoroughly enjoyed the somatic related exercises before jumping into the curriculum. It set the container for holding space and human-to-human connection. I felt seen in a way I never have. The training itself was so thorough and in-depth. I can't speak highly enough of the program and mentors. I felt continually more inspired as the training progressed!

I attended online training. Joining the training helped me to understand the flow and piece together the full session. Overall, Soma +IQ has helped me shift deeper inward and release what no longer serves me or that I need to hold onto in my body and mind. My favorite part of the training was the practice sessions and going through daily exercises at the beginning of each call. For those who are interested in clearing anxiety, fear, and stress out of their bodies and returning to the person you truly are, I highly recommend Soma +IQ.

It has been a wonderful journey to my interior self, lots of aha moment of my life passed through my body. It seems like i am redirecting myself. I totally recommend it so everybody can remember this awesome tool to regulate! The world would be more kind if we spit what drains us out. Thank you

This training was phenomenal! Bite size, week by week for 12 weeks... very doable even with only having a few hours per week. The instructors are so caring and knowledgeable and being a part of a community makes all the difference in really absorbing the material. I feel like I have all I need to confidently begin my practitioner training. If you're on the fence about Soma+IQ, do it!

I sent a video but not sure it went .... I love this course. It came into my life at the perfect inconvenient time. Learned so much. instructors are amazing and the curriculum is spot on. It is going to be amazing and I hope the support in the future will be just as helpful.

My largest realization in joining the training. I realized how much we as humans need this work. How to stay connected in this technology driven world. How to connect to my authentic self and to be able to navigate from this place. How to help others connect to themself too! The community within Soma+IQ and the leaders are the most supportive, genuine people I’ve ever spent time with. It was refreshing to my soul. If you’re ready to take the journey inward and want to make an impact in the world then this training is for you!

This work allows every person to return home to themselves, find greater clarity, hope, and self-acceptance. The somatic breathwork practitioner training gifts each person going through the certification program a personal mirror with which they are able to heal themselves in a space that is non-judgmental, empowering, and educational. As a byproduct, each certified practitioner is then able to create a space for their clients to hold up their own mirror to process anything that may want to move through them so they too can walk their path to living their fullest potential!

I'm so grateful for that fateful day I came across Soma+IQ's free workshop online- it put me on a path to discovering who I am at my core and who I want to become. Steven did such a beautiful job facilitating that first breathwork session that for the longest time, I couldn't even imagine being able to do it myself. But a few months ago, when the chance to enroll in this program arose again, something in me said, "Jen, it's time. You can do this. You NEED to do this." And so I did. Practically speaking, the training was delivered flawlessly. The mentors did an excellent job at supporting us in every way through the 12 weeks. The educational materials are of high quality, and the weekly calls were structured effectively, helping us build our skill set from the bottom up. I loved that we had opportunities to get out of our comfort zone and practice with each other. I know I still have a lot of learning ahead of me, but I feel very confident moving forward. I'm excited to share the power of somatic breathwork with my clients and the local community. But the most impactful part of this experience isn't the transformation of my skills. It's the transformation that took place - and continues to take place- inside of me. I'm more confident in myself, my worth, and my voice than ever before, after dealing with impostor syndrome and anxiety that's held me back for as long as I can remember. This deepened self-confidence and self-acceptance have had a positive impact on my relationships, my ability to coach and hold space for others, and my overall happiness and well-being.

Connecting your breath and your body is life-changing, and doing that in a container that gives you the freedom to express your true self is priceless. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your space, and for holding it for me.

Online training - January 2025 - The consistent support and encouragement from all the mentors as well as their abundant knowledge - SBW having as a guiding fundamental our innate wisdom

I am very grateful for this 12-week journey! Throughout the training, I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, as well as expressions - I laughed, I cried - I was healing. Today, I feel more connected to my body than ever before. The weekly training calls with the community and mentors were deeply inspiring, surrounded by amazing people and beautiful souls. This experience has been life-changing, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to deepen their connection with their body, release emotions they may not even be aware of, and cultivate more peace into their life by using the most powerful tool we all have - the breath. Beyond personal transformation, this training provides a profound understanding of how the human body works and how to support it for greater well-being. Knowledge is power, and with this knowledge we gain the ability to help others - a beautiful gift to share with the world!

Wow, this training journey has been incredible from beginning to end. I initially hoped to feel more relaxed in my body and mind, but the transformations I’ve experienced are beyond words. I have suffered from migraines for the past five years, and within just three months, my symptoms have significantly improved—I now experience only about 10% of what I used to. I absolutely loved our mentors and the community. The mentors are full of knowledge and wisdom, yet they remain approachable, humble, and deeply compassionate. They are truly beautiful souls who guided us with care and attention, holding our hands every step of the way. If you’re looking to go deeper, truly understand yourself, and heal on a profound level, this course is an absolute must.

I LOVED being a part of this community and learning from Jaggers and Fish! It was such a powerful experience to go through my own healing journey and to learn from the best on how to give this experience to others!

The largest impact I experienced and realized in this training was the integration of my mind body and spirit connection. After being a breath worker for over 36 years trained by Sondra Ray and Lenard Orr the mother and father of breathwork my intuition skills were met by my intellectual skills with Soma+IQ in an integrative union in my soul. My favorite part during the training was all of it lol. I think everyone can experience growth and integration with this technique.

The biggest realization I’ve had through this work is how to not get stuck in shutdown. I’ve learned to notice my triggers, connect to my body, and let my body lead—allowing stuck tension to naturally move through. Since then, I’ve been flowing through emotions more freely—not feeling numb, but also not drowning in them. I’m navigating my nervous system with much more awareness and feel more regulated overall.

The largest impact was stepping into the breathwork techniques and having the permission to make it my own, it has been incredible empowering! It also reinforced the true power of breath and presence. My favorite part of the training has been the zoom meetings. Witnessing and connecting with the instructors and students has been a highlight! I have made friendships here that I am sure I will carry on for many years. Everyone can benefit from this training! whether deepening one's relationship to their body or stepping fully into becoming a breathwork practitioner, it is truly wonderful and life changing!

Joining this training was a transformative experience that reshaped my understanding of myself and my connection to others. The biggest realization I had was the profound impact of breath, not as a biological function, but as a tool for healing, acceptance, and growth. Learning to breathe with intention taught me how to embrace my emotions, release past burdens, and cultivate a sense of inner peace. It was a reminder that healing begins from within, and that true acceptance of oneself opens the door to a more compassionate and fulfilling life. My favorite part of the training was the deep connection I felt with myself, but also with the group of like-minded individuals who shared the same journey. The space was one of openness and trust, where every participant was encouraged to be vulnerable and authentic. There was an unspoken understanding that we were all there to heal, to grow, and to support one another. This sense of collective energy was genuinely uplifting, reminding me of the incredible power of human connection! For anyone considering taking this training, I can confidently say that it will change your life! Whether you are struggling with self-acceptance, seeking emotional healing, or simply looking for a deeper sense of peace, this training offers tools and insights that can be applied to every aspect of everyday life. It teaches the importance of being present, of embracing oneself fully, and of extending that same kindness to others. It is a journey of self-discovery that equips you not just to heal yourself, but also to become a source of support and inspiration for those around you.

I am so incredibly grateful for this training and healing modality. I feel more clear in my mind and more grounded in my reactions to daily stress. I am so excited to integrate this work into my yoga,massage therapy and sound healing sessions. I feel better able to show up for the challenges of raising my unique special needs son and am mostly grateful for this. Thank you.

I am delighted to offer my wholehearted recommendation for the Somatic Breathing Course. This program has been nothing short of transformative for me, both personally and professionally. The expertise and dedication of the instructional team is exceptional. Their profound knowledge of somatic breathing techniques is matched only by their ability to communicate complex concepts with clarity and compassion. The faculty creates a safe, supportive environment that encourages deep exploration and personal growth. The curriculum itself is brilliantly structured, offering a perfect balance between theoretical understanding and practical application. Each session built thoughtfully upon the previous one, creating a comprehensive journey through the power of breath work. The techniques I've learned have become invaluable tools in my daily life and in my work with clients. What truly sets this program apart, however, is the remarkable community it fosters. The connections formed with fellow participants have provided ongoing support and inspiration long after the formal coursework ended. This community aspect amplifies the learning experience exponentially. Throughout this course, I embarked on a profound personal journey that challenged me to explore new dimensions of self-awareness. The process was sometimes challenging but always rewarding, and I emerged with greater presence, resilience, and understanding. I cannot recommend the Somatic Breathing Course highly enough. The team, the content, and the community combine to create an exceptional learning experience that continues to influence my life in meaningful ways. For anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of breathwork and its transformative potential, this program is an absolute must.

Ive gained so much knowledge and confidence within myself to continue to learn new modalities and techniques. This training definitely pushed me outside my comfort zone. My favorite part was probably the exercises and connecting with people all over the world. This training is amazing and the entire world truly benefit in learning how to regulate our nervous system.

I joined to take this back to where I worked , and then left the job, so I was wondering NOW WHAT , I struggled in the Oct class , got something worked out and started the Jan class with a differnent mind set , I knew I had some stuff to move through me and was having a hard time figuring out how to do it , I stuck with it and moved mountians in the last 12 plus weeks ... My favorite part was the community and the way we held space for each other. There’s something incredibly sacred about breathing and releasing in a room full of people who are doing the same. The safety, vulnerability, and deep connection I felt with others—many of whom I had just met—was beautiful and transformative. I also loved how each session felt like a journey, and every breath brought a new insight or layer of release.Anyone carrying stress, trauma, or emotional heaviness could benefit deeply from this training. It’s not just about learning to facilitate breathwork—though you do learn that—it’s about learning to trust your body, to feel again, and to reclaim parts of yourself you may have disconnected from. Whether you're a healer, coach, or someone simply seeking personal growth, this training offers powerful tools to regulate your nervous system, access deeper emotional truths, and show up more fully in your life and relationships. and the Mentors were amazing

For anyone feeling called to breathwork take the leap with SomaIQ. The container they have created is so special and that feeling is palpable. You will learn, you will experience, you will transform and love along the way.

This was hands down the most valuable training I have done. The education on nervous system regulation helped me understand more about why the techniques that were being taught work so well. Thank you!!!

Thanks to breathwork I now realize that I no longer need to live in a constant state of fight-or-flight mode and can actually take a moment to breathe.

This training has far exceeded my expectations. The 12 weeks online gave me the understanding of breathwork and the nervous system so that I could feel in command of the practice. The in-person training let me step into the roll of breathwork practitioner. The combined training brought me into a fuller sense of alignment with who I am...as a person and as a practitioner. It's truly been a transformational experience!

This breathwork came to me during one of the highest anxiety moments of my life. It taught me to breath again. The work here helped me find rest again. And the gift to share this with more people is a gift that will keep on giving. Thank you! Cheers, Amma

I loved the material itself, and how profound the tools are to share with others. i thought that the training was fully equipped with how to confidently become a practitioner. One thing that I would have liked is a discussion on pricing and ways to set up sessions, like platforms utilized, and or, successful ways to get people into your classes, etc. But, other than that, it was fantastic and I'm a changed person because of it.

Eye openin experience! Went in skeptical and came out moved and empowered.

The largest impact was the connections I made with other people and allowing myself to be held by the group. The structure of the sessions were powerful and well organized. I am very impressed with the thought put into the structure and being told to trust the process definitely helps. This is an amazing and powerful workshop. My favorite part of the workshop was how hands on it was. It wasn’t just about theory, but also about practice. It kept the days fun and they went by fast. The training would be beneficial for anyone out there. It’s not always easy to work outside of your comfort zone, but my personal feeling is that everyone would benefit from this training. It helps teach you how to become more relational in a positive way.

This training was more insignificant and personally fulfilling then I ever could have dreamed it to be. Not only did I learned incredibly vital skills to help others but I reached new levels of my self to see how much impact I can give just from the unraveling of my own awareness. I am forever grateful to Jaggers and his team and hope SOMA IQ keeps it's wonderful message and trainings around for a long time. Thank you.

I can honestly say that I feel “more human” after this experience. My capacity to feel and express emotions has gone up 10x. Breaking through my self-imposed numbness, placed upon myself for the sake of maintaining “composure”, feels like a true blessing- a gift that I gave myself simply by committing to my breath and the process. I’ve been holding on so tight through life; this experience simply let me be held in love and grace. My favorite part of this experience was being surrounded by such high vibrational energy for such an extended amount of time. While everyone had a unique intention for themselves at the training, the fact that we all had intention to be *more*, for ourselves and the world at-large was truly uplifting. Anyone at all could benefit from this training, whether they intend to teach somatic breath work or not. Simply understanding the mechanics of how and why the process works opens up a world of opportunities for self-inquiry and exploration. Simply put, this was time well invested in the process of becoming more human and more connected with the divine spark of my inner essence.

The instructors have an intuitive brilliance in their ability to create a program that not only leaves you with a vital skill to bring to humanity but also transforms you to a higher version of yourself. The people that I have met through this will forever be in my heart and - I hope - my life. This has truly been 4 of the best days of my life.

I have always been jealous of people who had access to the feeling of certainty and groundedness, and of those who an ability to use their voice and take up space. I didn’t know what this experience had in store for me. I had never even heard of Somatic breath work before this. But the release that I’ve had here, the community that’s been formed and the connection that’s been felt has really altered me. For the first time in my life, I have really connected with the power that’s inside of me, and I’ve gotten to meet other people who share this felt sense of oneness between us all. For so much of my life, I felt so lonely because I could only ever find glimpses of God in small places, but God was in the room with all of us this weekend, and He was felt through the arms of each other. This weekend has given me so much hope for humanity and it’s also given me a sense of personal power in these really difficult times where it’s so easy to feel powerless. But I know through teaching this work as a practitioner, I will be able to share a glimpse of the hope and joy and love and connection that I felt with this weekend with my community. And I hope that glimpse is a spark that catches across the world.

Wow! So impactful and... there are no words!

I've always held people at least at arm's length, but I feel so close to so many of my fellow learners! I feel such overwhelming love for everyone I come in contact with!!

Loved the stories we got to tell one another

Day one, was like an indescribable dance of emotion to a melody that is unique to each individual. The exercises we did Where things I have never done Before. It’s nearly indescribable because it is introspection prompted within a group setting or paired up with a stranger. Day, one was my first professional breath work session. And in the group, it was beautiful to be able to be around others on their journey while feeling supported in my own. In the session, my body involuntarily moved in ways I was unsure of what to do with and I learned in that moment to just be there and let it happen and not control but just be. And that doesn’t sound like much maybe while you’re reading it but it’s fucking huge for me in the first half my body convulsed and was moving a lot and in the second half when we were calming ourselves through the breath, all it took was for one of the teachers to come by. Tell me it was OK to let it go and my eyes turned into pools And pools turned into waterfalls, and my ears turned into a little warm Jacuzzi full of tears… Tears of gratitude for the moment with that person and tears of release because I didn’t realize I was holding so hard ! Everyone experience everything we got to go through in that first day… Humans need to feel their feelings! There’s not a person on the planet who shouldn’t get this full spectrum training of introspecting, outward expressions and the deep heaviness that life can be in a big beautiful healthy way! There were moments that were so uncomfortable for so many of us and especially for myself. Either to overly express or just act out an emotion that wasn’t necessarily familiar… And day one doing this in front of others was an extremely large challenge because it’s easier to stay and not looked at. And Although that feeling remained that I didn’t Really want to be seen in the moments you just do it! You do it for yourself. You do it to break through those layers that are necessary to shed to become the best version of self… Or at least this stands for me I left there with a new sense of self and calmness and community. And I realized how safe it can be to have emotions around perfect strangers when I feel like I’m “not allowed to” (emote) around people that tell me they love me and that I love in life. Day one was 1 million waves 1 million different ways both positive and negative emotionally that came in like a tsunami and washed away so much of the negative patterning (or brought it up to be realized) and unworthiness and unraveled 1 million little things inside… And after the wave moved along, it formed such a secure landing. And that new solid ground aka security, I will be able to take away with me. I realize how hard it is for me personally to be held by others. To trust in others to actually have my back. But in life, I live a story of just holding space for others and pushing my needs underneath theirs because I want them to love me. Or I want them to choose me in the way that I choose them. My biggest Takeaway is that I got to feel that beautiful Love… From perfect strangers!

Day 2 had a lot of voice work. I've always spoken softly and am often asked to speak up. Today really challenged me to make a positive change to let my voice be heard.

My first day was amazing! Out of my comfort zone and stretched but amazing!

My largest realization- is that we are not here to fix anyone, but to simply hold space for them. My favorite part about the training (how can I pick just one???) was the group tasks and the instant feedback. Which brought some awareness to things that I can improve upon personally. Everybody would benefit from this training, whether you are wanting to provide this service or simple become a deeper and more capable person of feeling. There are aspects to this training, and I have learned and are excited to bring back into my personal life and how I operate with my family.

The levels of understanding how to communicate efficiently to your clients are only as good as the ways you've learned to be with yourself. Every excersize showed this and is a way to self improvement and thus a way to help others do the same

The largest impact for me was how open I was during the exercises. I am usually open, but I allowed myself to go to the edge. My favorite part about the training is all that I am learning. The trainers are so knowledgeable that it is so easy to learn from them. The exercises that they are having us do open a whole new perceptive on practices that I am already doing. I believe everyone could benefit from this training in one way or another. The one on ones in person face to face are magical and intimate.

For me, as a clinician, the largest impact has been truly holding space for people. I always thought I was holding space until "holding space" in SomatIQ Breathwork. My family and friends are also embracing the idea of the breath deeper than before. I am showing up differently for others, no FIXING !! My favorite part of the training was community sessions, the mentors, and the ability to truly REMEMBER who I am and why I chose to be a therapist. We collectively need to embody this modality, and we need practitioners. My community is dire need of some healing :)

Thank you. What a gift to the world your work has become. Looking forward to sharing your great heart ❤️ through somatic+ iq. Blessed we are.

This training impacted the way I look at life differently. I really enjoyed the online training pairing with another partner and getting feedback. The benefit of this training is to help someone deal with stress instead of taking drugs to escape from the problem.

Steven talks about to not wait until you're ready to do this work because you will never "be ready" and my biggest take away is just accepting where I am at in my journey to healing. I do believe this work is helping me become my most authentic true self(I'm remembering) and with that my work will improve with more clearing, regulation and repatterining. This work is truly life changing and what a gift to give and receive it.

I took the onilne training.It empowered me through a very important time in my life to stay calm, focused, and present with the process i was going through.The instructors and group held space kindly and encouraged through the entire process.i am looking forward to sharing the practice with others and continuing by myself.I experienced deep healing and energetic shifts.Thank you i am grateful to you!

Online training. Really appreciated the energy and camaraderie as well as the instruction. Mentors did a great job of holding space for questions and responding comprehensively. The hands on practice sessions in breakout rooms were very empowering. I think some of them (especially like the intro / wrap up that were longish) could have allowed a little more time to account for establishing rapport with the partner and then having enough space for both participants to complete the practice. They both ended up being cut a little short.

Somatic Breathwork has been the key to what I have been searching for in life. Not only has this made major benefits to my personal life, but also to those around me and creating better connection to life. I could sit here and praise this modality all day. Give it a try and watch the growth before your eyes. Wonderful team. Beautiful souls. Somatic Family is HOME <3

I first took the online training in March. It was such a great experience. Everything was wonderful about it, but it was suggested to me to do the in person training. I cannot even describe what an exceptional experience the past four days have been. The quality of teaching was absolutely amazing. This just took my level of being a Breathwork practitioner to a different height. The trauma that I released with my partner Tyler on the last day was unbelievable. I learned so much but most of all I learned so much about myself. It was a true honor to spend four days with the most amazing group of people! The people I met are lifelong friends! People from Scotland to Bulgaria to Canada! I’m truly blessed! I am forever grateful.

My experience with SomaIQ has been nothing short of extraordinary. This work has completely changed my life and has empowered me to be be able to help people in an impactful way.
