Mastery is what you seek...
More than your job title or professional credentials, what really matters to you is having the freedom to do meaningful work in the world with people you love to serve. It's the impact you’re making that matters. Mastery is what you seek. The sensation-based approach is the missing piece you've been looking for.
Now more than ever practitioners need to be able to deliver deep and sustainable breakthroughs for their clients (and themselves.) Being a sensaton-based motivation coach you have the expertise to help even the most challenging or resistant clients create sustained motivation and mental wellbeing. Oh yea... and you get to use them to create freedom in your own life too. Bonus!

Who thrive on mastery and want to do the deepest work that gets results with 100% of clients.
Who want a masters in psychology without going back to college.
Who want to create a complete thriving business doing the holistic work that they love.
Who are exhausted with the insurance based grind and are ready for more profit, ease and impact.
Who are closet holistic junkies, who want to be doing deeply meaningful, soul-filling work.
Who can’t get enough of personal development and are ready to find the “missing piece” in their potential.
Everything you do starts with a sensation
This Is Why.
This Is Why.
Action does not arise from thoughts. It does not arise from will power. Action arises from our physiology no matter who you are, what you’ve been through, or how successful you’ve been in the past or will be in the future.
That's just how human's work.
When you learn to masterfully work with your client's sensations you work with the raw data of the human physiology. In essence, you can access their holistic intelligence- Body, Mind, Emotions and Spirit. They will have breakthroughs of the deepest kind...
...and your client's will feel it!

...and your client's will feel it!
In today's world, you can't just address a client's mind without engaging their emotions.
But how can we effectively integrate both mental and emotional intelligence, along with the wisdom of spirituality, without veering off course or delving into impractical theories? And without turning it into "therapy"?
Enter Sensation-Based Motivation Coaching.
By focusing on the body's sensations, this approach offers a simple yet profound method that delivers transformative results for clients—without the need for extra effort!

Gone are the days when we can pretend that we can "opt-out" from dealing with people who have trauma. Research tells us that 90% of people have traumatized nervous systems. Which means 90% of the people you serve or hope to serve do too. Does that make you nervous because you don't have trauma-sensitive skills? We kind of hope so! Most professionals don't want to hurt people, but they don't have the skills to recognize insidious signs of trauma and it's so very easy to do harm when we don't mean to. As a compassionate person who truly cares about humans, we know you want to be a part of the solution. We guarantee when you graduate from this program you'll be able to handle absolutely anything that comes up for your clients- and- you'll also know when to refer clients and to who.
Most of our graduates don't want to work with traumatized populations as a primary line of work. They want to do deeply meaningful work with "everyday people" and make a big difference.
The true freedom your clients (and you) are seeking is being able to read, decode, understand and re-wire your subconscious mind. Trauma-sensitive Sensation-Based Motivation Coaching makes you an expert in revealing the subconscious.
If you've ever felt like there is a "missing piece" you don't understand... even though you've spent tons of time and money in trainings... this is it.

Everyone has emotions. Not everyone has emotional mastery.
An emotional experience is a bodily experience.
Working with emotions isn't therapy. Lots of professionals work with emotions.
An emotion is two things... it's the sensations that are felt and it's the thoughts we think about those sensations or the narrative. Working with people is working with the body. The question isn't DO you work with the body... the question is... how skilled are you?
If you want to be a masterful practitioner who can compassionately help anyone improve their life... this program is just what you've always wanted.

- If you're a manager who speaks about motivation and productivity
- If you're a teacher, social worker or anyone who works with people...

Frequently Asked Questions
WHO THE PROGRAM IS RIGHT FOR
If you are a service professional who works with clients or staff and you desire to have a skill set that can quickly help people move from resistant and stuck into empowered and inspired quickly, YES, this program is for you! If you want to have trauma-sensitive skills to use with the people you serve and/or manage, YES, this program is for you. This program is perfect for anyone who manage people problems professionally.
Established coaches train with us because Sensation-Based Motivation is the most complete, effective, and sustainable way to help your clients create personal transformations. Statistically most people who receive coaching services do not transform their life results. Most coaches would say that “not everyone is willing to change” or worse, label clients who are having trauma reactions as "un-coachable." What we say is, a skilled somatic coach trained in sensation-based motivation coaching understands that the only thing blocking a person from making positive changes in their lives is resistance. Resistance that can not be intellectualized (as most of it can’t) MUST be met with a wholistic, somatic (body-centered) approach like Sensation-Based Motivation Coaching. Yes, established coaches train with us.
This program is also different from other coaching programs because of its practical focus on physiology. Yes, we talk about intellectual aspects of human behavior. Yes, we talk about spiritual aspects as well. It's the physiology that ties our psychology, emotions, spirituality and physical existence together.
Maybe. This program can make you a much more valuable employee. We also give you the bonuses you need to build a thriving business. That being said, Somatic Coaach Professional is high level curriculum and we want to make sure you will have the desired results following your training. You will either start with Somatic Practice Essentials or speak with our team before you apply for this program and we'll get you on the right track.
Yes! When you know who you are at the “core” figuring out who you serve and how you serve them becomes very simple. This will be a part of your personal transformation in the program.
Because you're going to want to study somatics at some point anyway... you might as well hop right into it. Our students who are already health and wellness coaches tell us they wish that they had found us sooner because what we offer quite literally it the missing piece they have been looking for!
See the above QnA. This program is perfect for people who already have a coaching background. Think of your wellness coach (or whatever coaching certification you have for that matter) as your bachelors degree and this is your masters.
Not at all. You will be familiar with some of the concepts already but we've found that helps with comprehension and gaining competency with the skills in the program. This is a coaching related program and so we find that our students who are somatic therapists greatly enjoy the optimistic and "light-hearted" approach somatic coaching brings to their work.
Have you ever felt like you should have a therapists couch in your office because people come to you with personal problems you didn’t feel qualified to help them with? Yep… thought so 😉 This program is perfect for you.
Both. This is not a coaching course, the Cross Mapping Method is a tool used by both therapists and coaches. If you are already a therapist or a coach it can easily be integrated into what you already do.
We will tell you… Coaching can be a profound journey of self discovery and a phenomenal way to help your clients get in touch with the truth of who they are. If that sounds exciting… we should talk.
This program is not well suited for people who do not already work with clients/team members professional. If you are currently not working or work at a job where you do not lead and manage people but you desire to be a somatic coach, please start with our Core Centering Program, get started on your professional journey working with people, then apply. [Click here to be directed to the Core Centering program page.]
Our students chose our program because 1) we hear it's the most "somatic" of all the somatic coaching programs. We will teach you exactly how to read the body, handle pain and physical discomfort, move with clients, and use physical discomfort as a compass for growth and decision making. 2) We are very practical. We focus on science and the science we use is physiology. You'll leave our program knowing how to talk to prospects and other professionals about what you do so that you can easily integrate somatic work into a professional atmosphere and gain credibility. 3) Students choose us because they want a comprehensive program that will help them grow their businesses. This isn't a weekend course. Our focus is to help you create a bigger impact with your work.
PROGRAM STRUCTURE
Our coaches are not only expected to learn content and demonstrate competencies, they are expected to use and embody the tools and methodology to create their own life transformations. It takes 10 months to make a human being and it takes 10 months to make a qualified, highly trained coach. Breakthroughs can occur in a moment. True lasting transformation takes time... it takes 10 months and it's worth it! Our students never want their cohort to end.
Enroll and start your learning right away. Level 1 and 2 cohorts are spaced through out the year and Level 3 cohorts start in September.
If you'd like to take the Somatic Coach Professional program, please register right away so you can save your seat in our next program. You will first get started with Level 1 and may also decide to take Core Centering. You will gain immediate access to your student vault after you sign your program agreement and can get started with all the bonuses we have waiting for you.
Somatic Coach Professional takes place in virtual classes for 90 mins. each week, usually on Thursdays at 11:30 EST. We also have a 3 day retreat as a part of this program.
Yes.
Experienced and practicing somatic practice practitioners have the option to opt out of Somatic Practice Essentials. You can discuss this when you talk with our Program Administrator about joining the program. You may be required to have a quick call with an instructor to gain approval. That being said, EVERY one of our students in the past has chosen to take Somatic Practice Essentials anyway and they always relate they are glad they did!
It is not necessary to study ahead of time, however if you want to, two great books to read are 1) The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk 2) Find Your Soul's Agenda: the one word that will make your whole life a success by our co-founder Ani Anderson.
Most Level 3 classes take place for 90 mins. on Thursdays from 11:30am-1pm EST.
TUITION
No. For the Somatic Coach Professional retreat your costs are wrapped in. The only cost you will incur is to travel to get to the retreat. If you are a new practitioner you may decide to purchase a client agreement from our affiliate lawyer, but that is not required.
Yes. Most of our students pay on a monthly payment plan starting when they sign up and extending to the last month of the program. It's also possible to pay in full or in 3 equal payments.
Money consciousness is a BIG part of the discussion in our network among our students because for many of our students, the breakthrough they are looking for is around money specifically.
Here is truth: it isn’t about having all the money up front… it’s about being resourceful. Our clients and students have experienced results all the way from getting their first client payday to quadrupling revenue in an established seven figure business.
These results are real, but not guaranteed because the amount of money you can gain from this program FAR exceeds your investment, however you will have to put the action steps in place to make it happen.
If you would love to join the program, your first step is to schedule an interview with our program Administrator and if accepted, make a decision to join. Then, and only then, can the money become available to you to pay for tuition because the money doesn’t come first, a decision comes first.
Here are some of our graduate stats for you:
- 86% of our self-employed students have more new clients after program completion.
- 79% of our students who intend to start coaching businesses do so within 6 months of program completion.
- 80% of the students who intend to leave full-time jobs do so within 6 months of program completion.
No. We believe very strongly in helping you develop a new relationship with money. In light of that, we do not want to rob you of the experience of paying in full. We DO however have a really exciting Social Investment program! If you are going to be using this work to create social impact with individuals and/or organizations that need this work... please apply! [Click here to apply for our social impact program]
Please see Somatic Coach Complete- that is your best deal on tuition.
Even before the start of the program you will have a business building bonus. We take your ability to grow your professional life very seriously. As soon as you sign up you will have access to an extensive library of business building videos. Before the program starts we begin with our first live business building bonus. After your graduation you will continue to be invited to monthly office hours where we talk about growing your business. We give you the tools to start utilizing this program to gain an ROI right away. Also, you will have business support in the student forum FOREVER.
RESULTS
We regularly have students tell us that they have gotten their monies worth from the program before it starts. Before the program officially begins, we start with 2 bonuses that provide our students with personal insights that reap benefits for a lifetime.
The easiest way to understand what Sensation-Based Motivation Coaching is is to experience it for yourself. Join our certified graduates in a private coaching session and experience its power for yourself! [Click here to schedule your session.]
In all settings. Our graduates use the SBMC with their private clients, group programs, and as a part of trainings, workshops and retreats. SBMC can be found in wellness centers, factories, prisons, schools, hospitals and office buildings. Anywhere you find people, you'll find SBMC.
Our students routinely tell us that their clients report SBMC has been "better than 20 years of therapy." Our students clients make progress and gain results faster and more completely then other coaching methodologies. Our graduates are using SBMC to help people eliminate chronic pain, chronic stress and lifelong patterns of anxiety. In fact we are the only program we have found that teaches coaches exactly how to deconstruct a pattern of behavior in a way that client's easily understand. SBMC is being used in organizations to increase productivity, engagement and motivation. It's being used in prisons to reduce recidivism and increase employment retention following discharge. It's being used in hospitals for back pain, neck pain, knee, hip and joint pain. It's being used by coaches to help people overcome lifelong patterns of fear and resistance to change. It's being used to help people make more money in their businesses, grow, scale and lead. Our students find novel uses for SBMC all the time!
- 86% of our self-employed students have more new clients after program completion.
