I love that the training is informative and experiential, allowing participants to connect and bond with one another along the way. As a student, teacher, and practioner that has previously preferred in person training and and classes, I was blown away by how much connection and community was made through an online platform. My favorite was the exercises we did early in the training that allowed me to see hidden parts that needed to be seen.

I have trained in so many modalities in my 20 plus career in psychology, none have been as mutually beneficial to my clients as well as my own personal journey as Soma+IQ. If you have the opportunity to complete the hybrid program, make it happen. Both are special containers that allow you to work with clients in both an in-person or virtual format. The community is the most amazing part of Soma+IQ, from the mentors to my fellow practitioners, I always felt supported and informed. This is the best decision I have made both personally and professionally in a very long time!

I truly cherish the connections we've made, and I especially enjoy the breakout rooms. The knowledge and technology we've explored have not only helped me become a better practitioner but have also reinforced my current practices. Thank you!

My clients are women who are healing from abuse, trauma, dis-regulated nervous systems, chronic health issues, etc. Some of the approaches to somatics and or breath work are aggressive and in my opinion, have un-necessary approaches that can lead to harm rather than restoration and healing. Soma+IQ is the perfect balance of safety, self leadership and practitioner support that EVERYONE can benefit from. Without hesitation, this is the class and certification you have been looking for. Adding this certification to my repertoire was exactly as I had hoped and more! The benefits of being in this class will continue, for me and my clients.

Thanks to Soma+IQ, I learnt so much more about my nervous system, how to activate and regulate it, meta skills and how to be in service to others. How to feel people and be felt, being present and dedicated to this practice. I really liked the 3 first weeks that were very profound for me. The teachers are excellent and this specific breathwork works beautifully on people around me.

Excellent training, teachers, and program. I learned a ton from the online course, and the in-person training took it to the next level. The hands-on touch training was worth the price of admission alone, and all of the additional modules helped me to tune into myself and others in a way I haven't been able to before. The sincerity and passion with which the training was delivered really drove home the lessons and the motivation for sharing this work with others. I can't say enough good things about my experience with Soma+IQ and am very excited to share what I've learned with others. Aside from the training being fun and engaging, it was presented in a way that kept things moving and there was never a feeling of "hurry up and get to the good stuff" because it was all curated and presented so well. Finally, I met some wonderful people, both learners and teachers. Expectations met and greatly exceeded. Thank you!

How Breath Saved Me Twice: My Journey with Soma+IQ After my grandmother passed away, I went into survival mode. Grief didn’t get space to breathe. It rolled straight into chaos, violence, and abuse in my family and at home. I was navigating instability, betrayal, greed, hostility, and an environment that kept me stuck in a trauma loop I couldn’t seem to break. There were days I didn’t know how I was going to keep going, only that I needed to do it for my two little girls. After months away, I opened Facebook in a numb doom-scroll haze, and the first post was Nadeem asking, ‘What do you have to lose?’ (I should mention that I had never even heard the word “somatic” before that moment. His 3-min video appearing on a timeline full of depression and mental health memes felt almost absurd.) Anyway, at that moment, the question felt literal and I weighed that question against my tomorrow. I signed up for the 3-day workshop that day. Within minutes of the first call opening, I knew this wasn’t random. It didn’t feel like marketing. It felt like alignment. The energy was grounded and real. No performance. No spiritual bypassing. Just presence, truth, and nervous system safety offered by complete strangers- completely different than the only people I had ever known and spent my entire life feeling harmed or ignored by. When the online course was offered at the end of the day, I was hit with the "full body yes" and immediately used the humble life insurance left to me by my grandmother to enroll. It felt sacred — like investing her final gift into breaking survival patterns and choosing healing instead. The one thing she had always encouraged me to do: Learn as much as I could, break the family cycle of addiction and self-sabotage, and set myself (and my girls) free. It wasn't until just now, while writing this, that I fully realized why they tell us to "always listen to the full-body-yes"- our bodies are more intelligent than our minds could ever be when it comes to our best interests. The journey wasn’t smooth. My home environment remained unstable and challenged my intentions daily. Promised childcare fell through immediately the day the online classes began. I was trying to study regulation while actively dysregulated in my own life. I rapidly began falling behind in the course and felt discouraged. In November, I reached out to the team, feeling nearly defeated, and asked if I could shift from the online program into the February in-person training. They said yes—no questions asked. Their only goal was to support me, however that looked, to make this work as accessible as possible for me to complete it in my own unpredictable and chaotic timeline. That “yes” mattered more than they probably know. Their constant flexibility and consistent support during a time when I felt trapped in perpetual crisis became a stabilizer for me. Even when my personal life felt like it was unraveling, there was this steady thread of belief, structure, and encouragement reminding me that I could keep moving forward. February's training dates landed directly over my grandmother’s birthday and my first daughter’s birthday. The symbolism was not lost on me. The in-person training was the most intense and powerfully positive experience of my life. Meeting my mentors — and discovering they are even more genuine, gentle, and grounded in person than they appear online — changed something fundamental in me. There is no façade. No inflated persona. No hidden agenda. They are not personalities only trying to sell something. Then, being surrounded by over 30 people who were simply there to serve, to hold space, to care without ego — forever shifted my understanding of community. For the first time in my life, I felt I was standing among people like me. People who welcomed, admired, and applauded me for exactly the way I am. People who expressed unprompted and genuine gratitude for the simple experience of meeting me and hearing my ugly story unfiltered. I realized something profound: I am not alone. This work accessed places within me that therapy, medication, psychedelics, and survival strategies never could. It didn’t numb me or distract me. It taught me that my body was carrying answers — that through breath, I could access clarity, release, and strength from within. When I returned "home" from the in-person, I became immediately and deeply aware that this place was no longer fitting for me. The place I'd lived my entire life had not grown with me and it is time to move on, up and out. I began taking steps to move myself to a healthier, lighter, and more comfortable environment. I am building my own business to spread this new light to others rather than remaining "trapped" in the weight I could not identify before. I have now enrolled in Level 2 and cannot wait to see what Denver has in store for me and my future. ----- TLDR; Soma+IQ didn’t magically remove my circumstances. But it stabilized me enough to start making different choices. This work saved my life. This team didn’t rescue me — they reflected my power back to me when I couldn’t see it myself. And through that, I saved my life. And the most profound part of all is this: And maybe the deepest gift of this work has been remembering where my story even began… I was born without breath. My mother was only fifteen and barely weighed 100 pounds. During delivery, both of our hearts stopped. They prioritized her survival. I was set off to the side — assumed lost. Somewhere in the chaos, her heart began beating again. Somewhere after the chaos subsided, I finally cried out. The breath that brought me into this world — the breath that told them, “Hey. I’m here.” — is the exact same breath that carries me through each day. Every struggle. Every joy. Every grief. Every ounce of gratitude. Every single day. And now I understand: The thing that "saved" me at birth is the same thing that continues to carry me now. Every time I choose to breathe — truly breathe with awareness — I create space within myself to be (re)born as a more conscious vessel of divine life.

Testimonial – Somatic IQ Breathwork Training | Phoenix ~ Tammy Feltner Attending the in-person Somatic IQ Breathwork training in Phoenix was truly transformational for me.🤍 The largest realization I had was how deeply the body holds intelligence, and how much we can access when we feel safe enough to listen. I attended the 12-week online training and I’ve been practicing and facilitating breathwork. This training deepened my understanding of the nervous system, trauma-informed facilitation, and the profound wisdom stored in the soma. It wasn’t just about learning a technique… it was about embodying the work at an entirely new level. My favorite part of the training was the experiential components. Being both participant and facilitator allowed me to feel the subtle nuances of what clients may experience — the emotional releases, the quiet insights, the stored energy surfacing for integration. There was such a powerful balance of science, structure, and sacred space. The in-person container created connection, safety, and authenticity that elevated the entire experience. I also loved the depth of community. Being in a room of like-hearted individuals who are committed to growth, healing, and service was incredibly expansive. The energy in the space was grounded, intentional, and deeply supportive. Anyone who works with people — coaches, healers, therapists, stylists, leaders — or anyone on their own personal growth journey would benefit from this training. It gives you tools to regulate your own nervous system, hold safe space for others, and truly understand how the body processes and releases stored stress and trauma. This isn’t just a breathwork certification. It’s a personal evolution and a professional expansion. I left the training feeling more confident, more embodied, and even more aligned with the work I’m here to do. Thank you and I look forward to learning more from Somatic IQ.🤍

First, I want to say thank you to the entire team! You’ve each impacted me in such a significant way. I’ve heard several of the things taught in class before but in this safe container, my SOUL heard them. ❤️ I walked into training completely intimidated, telling myself that I wasn’t qualified. What I discovered is that I have been living a completely fear based life. I walked away knowing I can do this! I’m finding myself and soon, I’ll be able to create a space where others can too. I’ve found a community that I can share for a lifetime! Anyone thinking they’re not ready or not good enough, you ARE! Trust the process and trust YOURSELF!

I have been a certified practitioner since 2022 after completing the online training at the end of 2021, and I recently attended the in person training. My intention was to fully receive as a student again without having any expectations as I've held space for almost 1,000 people over the past 3 years. I received more than I could have ever imagined! I loved reviewing the curriculum again as a way to refine my own practice. I loved connecting with the most beautiful humans in this incredible community. But mostly, I loved reconnecting with the power of Somatic Breathwork. The medicine we give is the medicine we need to receive. This training reminded me of how sacred this work truly is, it deepened my connection to myself, to this human experience, and it helped me express what had been suppressed. I feel more rooted in my aliveness and now I have more clarity around how I want to serve/ leave an impact in this world. Yes this is a Somatic Breathwork training, but in reality, in felt like a "Life/ How to Human" Training. I couldn't be more grateful to be a part of this community and to be able to walk this path of service through holding space for others and guiding them home to their true self through the power of the breath. My heart is so full!

The impact this training has had on me is tremendous. I feel better within myself to help others. My energy had shifted for the better when helping others. I recommend taking both the in person and online trainings because they are slightly different and fill in gaps of knowledge.

Like somatic breathwork itself, this training provides a channel for opening the heart and the mind, for connecting deeper to yourself and others, and for discovering empathy and compassion internally and externally. I loved everything about the training, from the beginning exercises to the gradual unfolding of knowledge and wisdom to be able to lead a practice. As a holistic health practitioner, I see firsthand that the body can't heal until the nervous system is regulated - and somatic breathwork is such an amazing tool for this. Whether you take this training for yourself or to support others, it will be a profound experience.

Soma+IQ changed my life and how i show up in the world. They gave me my choice back a gift that I intend to pass on to others. Life changing for the better the practice and community have touched my frozen heart and melted it . I can feel again

The favorite part about training was the family aspect of our community. There was an element of transparency and authenticity within each member of the cohort and the instructors, so what could have been intimidating (as an introvert), I have felt loved, valued, and cared for during this entire training. I will greatly miss being with each of you every week! The actual delivery of materials and presentations were exceptional and the ability of each instructor to clearly explain and teach each component of the training was thorough and understandable! I would highly recommend this training to anyone interested in a trauma informed modality to help with healing and growth in many areas!

The online training has prepared me for so much more than 'just' becoming a breathwork facilitator. I know better how to relate to others, stay in my centre and hold space without getting caught up in the energy or story of another. I'm walking away with new skills that will support actually being able to go out in the world and share an offering, rather than just completing another training or module and not really knowing what to do with it. Thank you guys, it's an honour to have spent these months together and to now go out into the world and continue sharing somatiq breathwork.

The largest impact of joining this training was the deep connection to myself. Learning how to listen and actually feel my body by creating space and choice. Its opened my world up to deep connection within so I can attune to others and hold space with greater compassion.

I really didn't know what to expect but this has far surpassed my expectation. I think I found a way into helping people that I have been searching for. I Have learned and grown so much and believe in what somatic breathwork can do for all of us in this chaotic world. Thank you all for an amazing journey and I look forward to giving back to my community.

The program is awesome; it showed me things about myself that I wasn't aware of. It's a great introduction to breath work. All the mentors have been caring, compassionate and knowledgeable. They go above and beyond to help and train. I feel confident in holding a session.
