RUTH STERN
Even though, I am a therapist, this took my skills of attunement to a much higher level and really understood from this training, the power of regulation. The method of Soma to me touches the soul deeply and gave me deeper insights into my path for growth. The mentors and of course Steve are really amazing practitioners that teach and coach with heart and wisdom and professionalism. I am truly blown away by this training. If you are a therapist or coach, this will be an important process to add to your work and to your own personal transformation.

I didn't know what to expect when joining this group... rather I had decided for myself that it was going to be a bunch of videos that I paid for and didn't get much out of. This was so different. I have really bad ADD and just videos are not something I can contend with. One thing I really loved about this class was the accountability. At first it was really hard for me, making the time. Choosing this over all the things I have to get done. You all have so much patience. Just the overall vibe - I felt like you held me accountable but didn't judge. I loved what I learned, I loved meeting people. I just love the calmness of all the instructors that gave me such peace every Tuesday even though we were learning something. I love what I"m walking away with. I love how good I felt after every class. I love the Sunday breathwork sessions. Thank you for this amazing beginning to my journey.

What stood out most is the authenticity of the staff; from discovery calls, onboarding to each call during the program. You can tell they all embody this work, they aren't just selling a product.
This training has allowed me to connect deeper to myself and by extension the relationships around me. What a gift it is to learn to hold a relationship with self both mentally and physically, to find balance and compassion like never before. Thank you to the SomaIQ team for this life changing experience

Soma IQ was one of the most profound personal and professional trainings I've experienced. The training reinforced my belief that lasting transformation begins with the state of the human system, not simply mindset or behavior. It will be the foundational infrastructure of my work moving forward. Highly recommend Soma IQ.

If you're looking to change the way you move through life and relate to others, this course is for you. I've experienced many healing modalities in my life, and this one far exceeds all others. Somatic Breathwork is the most transformative modality I've encountered and it's something that you have access to at all times.

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 biggest realization for me was how powerful conscious breathing can be in helping regulate the nervous system and release stored stress. My favorite part of the training was the experiential breathwork sessions and connecting with others throughout the process. I believe anyone looking to reduce stress, deepen self-awareness, or support others in their healing journey could benefit from this training.

As a nurse coach, my own journey with somatic breathwork has been so profound and made me realize that as nurses, we have so much that we are holding on to--the trauma, the blame, the shame, the insecurities--somatic breathwork has helped me realize what we hold in our bodies but most importantly, how our bodies are able to bring those emotions out to the surface utilizing our breath and also how do we fill our cups up with love and gratitude...this has truly changed my life.

The largest impact I got from this training was the new found trust I have in myself. I truly cant put in to words how deeply I've been moved by this course. I will FOREVER be grateful for these 12 weeks and the boundless opportunities it has created for me. I think everyone in the world would benefit from this training. As humans we lost the enate ability to shake out or get rid of our stored trauma, this course offers people the opportunity to release what no longer serve's them and as a result meet, themselves on a level deeper than they ever have before. Thank you to everyone who put this together, your love and guidance is inspirational and a breath of fresh air(;

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 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.

Joining the Somatic Breathwork Practitioner Training had a profound impact on me as a trauma therapist, revealing how deeply interconnected our breath is with our mental and emotional well-being. This training transformed my therapeutic approach, allowing me to integrate breathwork into my practice for a more holistic healing experience. I found this bottom-up approach to healing, starting with the body, exceptionally effective in helping my clients truly heal from their trauma. My clients now feel more grounded, experience less anxiety, and have greater emotional resilience.
Initially, I was hesitant to take the training online, but it turned out to be wonderful. The course was easy to follow, and the sense of community it created is something I will forever be grateful for. The mentors were exceptional, and the entire Somatic team was incredibly supportive throughout the process. Anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the mind-body connection would benefit immensely from this training. The skills and knowledge gained are invaluable for offering a comprehensive approach to healing and helping yourself and clients achieve profound, lasting change.

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 largest realization I had in joining the training is that life can change, you can heal, and the story you've been living can be released if if no longer serves you. I feel stronger and more steady. I started somatic breathwork two years ago with a graduate of your program and worked through some tough shit ... I was going through treatment for breast cancer and feeling very unsafe in my own body. I can say that the journey to reconnecting with myself is in large part due to this experience both as a student and a practitioner. Although I am one of the quieter students in class, and have a hesitation to sharing personal , deeply held feelings in a group, I am grateful for the mentors and the kindness that has been shown throughtout the 12 weeks!

What an incredible experience. Over the past 12 weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to come home to myself. Somewhere along the way, I had disconnected from my inner guidance, and this journey invited me to turn inward and reconnect with my truest essence. I now feel more at home in my body, more deeply aligned with who I am, and grounded in a greater sense of peace than I’ve felt in a long time. Thank you.

This training has changed my life in the best way possible. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my heart after years of heartache. I am finally comfortable with releasing emotions. I am able to show up as my authentic self.
My favorite part of the training was the first three weeks. I didn't know that I had so many pent up emotions and feeling against myself that were holding me back and lowering my self confidence. I am now so confident in my mind and body that I can't wait to get out there and help others!
I think so many people can benefit from the training. You are able to go so much deeper into yourself (expected or not) and you are able to show up differently in the world. If you are scared (like I was) you just need to go for it and stop waiting. You will feel the change mentally and physically faster than you think!
