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.

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.

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.

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 thoroughly enjoyed this training so much. The mentors were amazing, so warm and inviting. I love how it was structured and how it all came together in the end. I feel confident going into my practicum that I know how to conduct a proper breathwork session. I'm so excited to use this creative and healing modality to help people. You guys are the best. I have truly loved this experience and and am so grateful. Find me over at Lauren Cureton, Breath & Sound Collective:)

Viktoryia Kryvanos
I really enjoyed that the focus was on learning by learning about yourself. At first, it doesn't make sense but as you continue to work through the course, you start to notice how you're shifting in life. The skills are one thing, but in reality, we all heal ourselves. It more important to become a safe and regulated container, than it is to actually teach anyone anything. Everyone comes to their own realizations, we're just an avenue and present a tool for them to get there. Thank you! Also, thank you so much for offering the guest pass. I wouldn't be here otherwise, yet now am genuinely excited and will be facilitating this work.

Largest realization was how powerful this work is. I have done other Breathwork prior how ever this method has been personally transformational! . Favorite part was the weekly calls which were full of connections opportunities, practice time with others, and mentorship. . Excellent platform / site with thorough materials.
Dec 30, 2025
Mark Thomas
While it is true that this course provides a platform to become a certified somatic breath work practitioner, it really should be considered an instructional course on being a better, more fully realized human being. The benefits of this course go way beyond just the breath work.

my favorite part of the training was the first 4 weeks of self development. There is such an opportunity to learn and grow as a person, an entrepreneur, a parent, coach, partner, or whatever you want to become when you go through this program.

Arie
This Training has been ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! All of the Mentors are Professional, Full of Wisdom and Genuinely CARING. I knew that I had a separate Breathing Journey with my grief after losing my toddler Son, Bodhe. This has brought further self-awareness to me personally and as a coach. My Nervous System is so GRATEFUL and I believe that the world can HEAL from this practice. Thank you for all that you do!!!

The first 3 weeks of learning the meta skills were unexpected yet some of the most powerful zoom sessions I've experienced. I finally understood pieces of my own heart and soul that were waiting to be witnessed. I've never felt this level of safety within a teaching container. I've always been a highly sensitive being, an empath who deeply feels for and with people. For the first time in my life, I felt seen and understood in the way I wish I always could feel. I'm speaking from 12 years of being a student of life, taking one certification after another. The level of wisdom, depth and care the mentors brought to this space was phenomenal. I felt like I was sitting amongst greatness, no ego, no facades, real, genuine humanness. This is so rare to experience. It's what we need in the world.

Ben
I entered this training expecting it to be centered around the practice and scripts. The first third of the training initially seemed out of place but was invaluable for gaining deeper understanding around somatic relating and being able to be a strong container for clients. Not something I considered going into this, and very grateful that it was included and driven home so hard. I got a ton out of the container work and somatic relating; that was probably my favorite part in hindsight, even though it wasn't initially very interesting on paper.
Others can benefit from this training by learning about the holistic approach to the techniques. It's not just about breath, its about integrating the full spectrum of practice around breath that will allow others to get the most out of it. I'm very impressed with the training and would definitely recommend it to others,

Somatic IQ Breathwork course has help me personally strengthen my body, mind and spirit.
The course is well taught with great mentor instruction. The cohort bonding is the best not only to practice the modality but building great friendships.

Christy Maltman
Soma IQ breathwork training helped me connect more deeply to myself and my body in a way I hadn’t experienced before. Breathwork has been a powerful healing modality for me, and Soma IQ feels different — more embodied, intuitive, and transformative. Through this training, I developed a stronger relationship with my body and learned how to truly listen to it. I look forward to sharing this practice with my clients and supporting them in reconnecting more deeply with themselves.

Becki Holt Portis
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.
Dec 30, 2025
Marleine
The biggest realization for me was understanding how much I had been living in my nervous system without realizing it. Breathwork showed me, in a very real and embodied way, how my body has been holding stress, protection, and emotion, sometimes far longer than my mind could remember.
It helped me feel instead of analyze, release instead of suppress, and trust my body as an ally rather than something I needed to control. That alone has shifted how I move through my daily life.

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!

Jamie Brech
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.

The Largest Impact has been the breakthroughs I have had through participating in the breathwork sessions myself. This has been profound and life changing. So much so that I have taken the course so I can share this outwardly with others. I have loved the training the sessions have been incredible, the teaching has been so professional and I feel well supported and informed. The participants are colleagues and friends now ! AMAZING will share !!! THANKS

I have been part of the online training and I am so incredibly happy and grateful that I found this school. I have done a lot of inner work over the years and yet I have gained so many important and new puzzle pieces and insights with the training and with the breathwork. I love this way of working and I am really looking forward to spreading Soma IQ breathwork further.

Alison Ungaro
My hopes for the training were to feel more in my life, to breathe deeper, and to heal my nervous system. I know I am connecting to myself in a deeper way, as those in my life have commented on a change within me and calmness. I see it in my co-regulation with the autistic children I am working with and the horses. They are a direct mirror for me.

This training allowed me to tap deep within myself and grant me the permission to show up in a raw emotional way, and allow myself to let go of what does not serve me anymore.
Helps me grow in becoming the best version of who I am.

Nicole
Soma+IQ Breathwork has been deeply supportive in my personal development journey. It gave me the permission and the structure to truly open up, feel, and commit to a healing practice.
Having a clear timeline and container kept me accountable. I didn’t just learn about breathwork, I learned how to embody it. The personal growth alone would have made this training worthwhile, and on top of that, I gained the skills and confidence to facilitate for others.
The mentors are incredibly supportive, grounded, and present, and the community is truly special. Every class felt like a safe, nurturing space filled with care, trust, and so much love. I’m deeply grateful for this experience and would recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their connection to themselves while learning a powerful modality to support others.

This training is excellent! The facilitators are professional and absolute experts in what they do. Their approach to brethwork is simple, approachable and impactful and I am so excited to bring this to my community. There is so much power in simply focusing on our breath.

Deborah Cautela
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

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

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.

Angela
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. ❤️

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.

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!

Meghan Smith
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!

Petra Ottenberg
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.

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.

Nikki LaFord
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 thoroughly enjoyed this training so much. The mentors were amazing, so warm and inviting. I love how it was structured and how it all came together in the end. I feel confident going into my practicum that I know how to conduct a proper breathwork session. I'm so excited to use this creative and healing modality to help people. You guys are the best. I have truly loved this experience and and am so grateful. Find me over at Lauren Cureton, Breath & Sound Collective:)

I really enjoyed that the focus was on learning by learning about yourself. At first, it doesn't make sense but as you continue to work through the course, you start to notice how you're shifting in life. The skills are one thing, but in reality, we all heal ourselves. It more important to become a safe and regulated container, than it is to actually teach anyone anything. Everyone comes to their own realizations, we're just an avenue and present a tool for them to get there. Thank you! Also, thank you so much for offering the guest pass. I wouldn't be here otherwise, yet now am genuinely excited and will be facilitating this work.
