This is a foundational 7-month training program in somatic practice, nervous system regulation, and relational healing. It’s designed to provide the practical skills needed to begin practicing as a somatic healing practitioner specializing in sensitive nervous systems. Upon completion, you’ll be certified as a Sensitive Intelligence Somatic Healing Practitioner Level 1.

This training is specifically created for women with highly sensitized nervous systems who have already completed foundational somatic healing work on themselves. You don’t need existing professional training - the program works whether you’re starting fresh or integrating these skills into an existing client-centered practice.

The demand for this specialized work is extremely high, yet most helping professionals aren’t taught how to work skillfully with sensitive nervous systems. Many people with sensitive systems leave appointments feeling worse because they need a level of titration and safety that most practitioners aren’t trained to provide. This work also cannot be replaced by AI since it requires nervous system co-regulation between practitioner and client.

Those of us with sensitive systems developed the superpower of reading other people’s nervous systems as a survival adaptation. Once we’ve healed our self-abandoning patterns, we can use this gift therapeutically while staying connected to ourselves. The training teaches highly titrated approaches specifically designed for sensitive nervous systems - if you can work with a highly sensitized system, you can work with anyone.

Touch training is not required for certification. However, attendance at the October in-person weekend is strongly recommended because it teaches advanced relational skills that apply to non-touch sessions as well. You can receive certification without doing hands-on touch work, but you would need to be clear that you don’t specialize in touch work.

The program runs 7 months with 6 active training months plus a December integration break. It includes:

• Two live Saturday trainings per month
