Embodied Assistant Training

Service Description

Mindful Somatic Wellness Assistant Training is a brand new offering for those who have completed Phase 3 and feel called to step more fully into facilitation, leadership, and the lived practice of holding space. This training is designed as a careful bridge between learning somatics and offering it in real relationship. It is for graduates who want to deepen their capacity to support classes, workshops, retreats, trainings, and group spaces with more clarity, confidence, and embodied understanding. Over this weekend, we will explore what it means to assist within an ecology of practice. The assistant role is not simply about helping out. It is a meaningful position of relational leadership that asks for presence, pacing, humility, nervous system awareness, practical reliability, and respect for scope. Together we will explore how to hold space without overreaching, how to read the room, how to support from both the edges and the front, and how to guide simple somatic movement with greater confidence and care. We will look at the difference between facilitating, fixing, rescuing, and over-functioning. We will also explore how to stay connected to your own soma while supporting the learning and unfolding of others. This training includes facilitation learning, movement teaching practice, assistant-role expectations, ethics and boundaries, and practical business insight. You will learn valuable behind-the-scenes skills that help a somatic practice actually run well, including professionalism, communication, setup, support, timing, and responsiveness. This is both a professional and embodied learning space. It is not about rushing into leadership or performing expertise. It is about growing your capacity to listen more deeply, respond more skillfully, and step toward the front of the room without leaving yourself behind. Participants may attend in person, online, or by recording. Recording participants will receive reflection and practice requirements so the learning can still land in a meaningful and applied way.
