RECONNECT TO YOUR BODY. RECLAIM YOUR POWER. RISE INTO WHOLENESS.
Body Wisdom: Movement Mentorship for Women
A Somatic Movement Certification Program
Module One – Personal Practice
A Transformational 50-Hour Training in Somatic Movement, Emotional Resilience, and Embodied Healing
Body Wisdom: Movement Mentorship for Women is a soul-rooted, movement-based journey for women ready to awaken the healing power within.
This foundational certification integrates somatic practices, functional movement, and movement therapy to support mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
You’ll be guided through immersive weekends designed to help you:
✨ Reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom
✨ Cultivate emotional resilience through embodied expression
✨ Explore movement as a tool for healing, creativity, and transformation
Drawing from Laban/Bartenieff fundamentals, breathwork, chakra dance, and more—this training offers a deeply personal, trauma-informed approach to embodied self-discovery.
Who This Is For
This training is for you if you’re:
- A therapist wanting to integrate somatic tools into your work
- A yoga teacher or movement practitioner seeking therapeutic depth
- A coach, facilitator, or healer ready to expand into body-based practices
- A dancer or artist called to do a deeper dive into somatic movement and how it can inform your performance, teaching, and process
- A healthcare professional looking to reconnect clinical care with human embodiment
- A seeker drawn to your own personal healing and self-awareness journey
And You Are:
Empathetic and open-hearted
Passionate about movement and transformation
Interested in learning to hold space safely
Eager to help others feel empowered, embodied, and whole
The training was transformative in that it helped me to dive deeper into my spirituality, to further explore the essence of my being. I will help others grow and become better versions of themselves through the use of all content learned, along with a spirit of compassion & curiosity. I will inspire confidence in others being that I've grown into such great confidence with the help of Nicole & the community. I would definitely recommend the training to others.
