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'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.
I can honestly say this training was a kickstart to a direction of healing in this journey we call life. I became somatically aware of issues, traumas, and blocks that have knowingly plagued me for a long time. Through the knowledge of the mentors and my own somatic awareness I have made some shifts that not only I see but also my family sees. My levels of anxiety have decreased and I am more aware of what can or has triggered them. - Soma+IQ Practitioner
