What You’ll Receive | Program Details & Curriculum | About Manuela Mischke-Reeds | Bonus Collection | FAQs
As a practitioner in the fields of psychotherapy, social work, mental health, or wellness coaching, you might sense that your patients’ or clients’ traumatic experiences call for more than conventional interventions.
Trauma survivors rarely possess the spoken language to express the complexity of their pain. Many experts believe the memories stored within their physical bodies tell the real story.
Years ago, these same realizations inspired Manuela Mischke-Reeds, clinical therapist and international somatic psychology teacher, to develop her own therapeutic approach — with the goal of improving her patients’ outcomes.
Manuela began her career 25 years ago, working with survivors of torture.
She realized her clients were often at a loss to verbally convey their trauma — which stayed with them in debilitating forms of flashbacks, night terrors, anxiety, depression, and much more.
Yet, she found that their bodies could express it all.
Manuela focused on learning the body’s expressions and somatic patterns and discovered the body’s innate ability to heal through this powerful silent language.
Now you can learn how to understand this silent language from your clients in Manuela’s breakthrough Somatic Trauma Therapy approach, which acknowledges pathways in which fear and healing coexist in the body.
Her approach draws on various somatic therapy practices that are rooted in polyvagal theory — including key practices from Hakomi Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Innate Somatic Intelligence Trauma Therapy.
She’ll show you how to safely use these same somatic resourcing, breathwork, mindfulness, pendulation, and titration skills in your own practice to guide your clients’ transformations and healing...
... from a place of profound compassion — because first, you’ll experience each of these healing tools yourself.
Join us for a 20-module training as Manuela guides you to expand your inner soma toolkit with these Somatic Trauma Therapy skills and techniques.
You’ll first apply each approach to your own life experiences, so you can ultimately bring new dimensions of healing to both your clients — and yourself. Once you learn to regulate your own nervous system, you’re able to effectively navigate systemic trauma issues that may be overwhelming both you and your client.
Manuela will guide you to develop these skills (and many more) so you can become more present with your clients’ suffering, assess which embodiment tools they’ll benefit most from...
... and empower them to trust their own innate somatic intelligence beneath the trauma. You’ll also learn how to best track results so you know when these somatic skills are working.
At the heart of supporting your clients’ journeys towards whole and healthy lives is your own process of facilitating your inside-out transformation as their healer...
... applying Somatic Psychology Tools to your triggers, projections, and countertransferences so you can mediate them when working with clients.
From this grounded space, you can then effectively and compassionately guide your clients into the healing potential they’ve always held in their bodies and hearts.

As this course begins, learn what the field of somatic psychology offers you as a practitioner who wants to help your patients heal within a body-oriented framework.
Manuela will explain different approaches within somatic psychology — including lowering the internal noise as opposed to using amplification techniques, and what it means to cultivate a somatic mindset as a therapist.

Module 6: Apply Co-Regulating Skills (Part 1) – Create Safe Spaces for Your Clients (February 27)

Module 7: Apply Co-Regulating Skills (Part 2) — Ease Your Clients’ Overwhelm & Resistance During Sessions (March 5)
The challenges therapists face are immense.
For sessions to be successful, the client must be emotionally and somatically regulated during therapy work.
Learn how overwhelm and resistance are common experiences in therapy — but you can feel prepared with careful co-regulation skills.
An embodied therapist knows her own boundaries and operates from an abundance of somatic connection, supporting her client.
In this module, you’ll:

Module 8: Establish Safe Relationships With Co-Regulation & Attachment Awareness (March 12)
The need for belonging, safety, and connection are common attachment themes.
Manuela will discuss attachment theory as it applies to somatic work, and how to work with client needs to sensitively and effectively guide them through these core therapeutic themes.
Through guided practices, discover how to work with core beliefs that have interrupted a sense of safety and belonging.
In this module, you’ll:

How can you help a client discover their inner experience without overthinking things yourself, and getting pulled into their head?
Manuela will guide you through wisdom, techniques, and practices to create this boundary so you can most effectively serve your clients.
In this module, you’ll explore:

Learn how core wounds and traumas that occur from the ages of 0-3 and 3-6 often lay the foundation for somatic experiences throughout life.
Module 11: Body Reading & Tracking Skills to Identify What the Body Is Communicating (April 9)
The body has its own communication and language.
Manuela will guide you to practice even more precise observation skills. Through the skill of body reading, you’ll identify the unspoken voice the body expresses.
The client often doesn’t know what the body is communicating. The job of the therapist is to help the client connect with their own expressions and meanings.
In this module, you’ll learn:
- Tracking skills, so you can read the body accurately — including what body indicators mean to the client
- The information revealed by body indicators about the internal shaping of the client — including cultural and societal influences from past

Module 12: Understand How Character Is Shaped by Early Experiences So You Can Support Your Clients More Effectively (April 16)

Module 13: Understanding Life Stage Age 0-3 — Identify the Origins of Core Wounds & Traumas (April 23)
Continue examining how the human development map shapes inner experiences.
Manuela will explain how core wounds and traumas that occur from the ages of 0-3 impact every stage of life going forward.

- The core beliefs and biological trajectory formed in the age 0-3 developmental stage
- Somatic techniques for working with these early stages
- Somatic practices to address the need for safety, belonging, and connection

Examine human development from 3-6 years and its implications in somatic therapy work.

Ages 3-6 years shape the personality and temperament a child brings into the family of origin, community, and early schooling years.

Support clients as they expand feelings of peace and ease, while sensing and interrupting habitual patterns like anxiety, stress, or fear. But first, apply all these tools to yourself.

Manuela will share key aspects of polyvagal-informed techniques for helping your clients feel well-resourced.
Somatic resourcing refers to the ways we strengthen our sense of stability and safety in the world.
Learn how to guide your clients to identify the resources that help them feel secure — including significant people, relationships, skills, strengths, and more — so clients can ground and stabilize their emotional intensity.
The regulated nervous system is important in trauma therapy, as it helps clients stabilize their inner activated states of fight, flight, and freeze responses.
In this module, you’ll explore:

- Key somatic resource techniques to calm, soothe and settle
- When it’s appropriate to bring somatic resourcing techniques into your sessions (and when it’s not)

Module 18: Somatic Therapy Tools to Teach Your Clients to Heal Their Traumatic Memories (May 28)
