The body-based coaching certification that will change your fucking practice 

Somatic Facilitator Certification

An intimate 3 -month group program training where coaches, therapists, and yoga teachers become masterful somatic practitioners by learning how to connect to the deep wisdom of the body and the unconscious – so you can guide your clients into deeper states of healing with a trauma lens.

This isn’t your average CERTIFICATION program.

It’s THE certification that’s going to make your jaw drop, humble you, BLOW YOUR MIND, change the way you view your business/yourself several times over, and upgrade the consciousness you’re currently operating from.

It’s the brain-exploding, body-activating, mind-bending, energy-shifting training you’ve been waiting for.

It’s being brought to you by a skilled veteran with over 20 years of experience in the mind-body field: (an actual) psychotherapist turned yoga master and mentor who has spent the last 2 decades studying the mind-body connection (Rachel Friedman).

I’ve created the training I wish I had when I started out – the one that finally brings it all together (mind, body, energy, and soul).

This certification won’t just change your career path, it will change your fucking life.

You will learn how to rewire the patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior that live in the conscious and unconscious parts of your human mind and body.

You will learn how to look beyond what's on the surface of someone’s mind and update unconscious patterns with TLC.

You will learn how to guide healing at the innate, cognitive, emotional, and energetic levels seamlessly and masterfully.

You will be able to navigate whatever your client brings - yes including TRAUMA. So many coaches are afraid to touch trauma at all (and without the proper training, you should be afraid because you can cause real damage). But no one goes through life without trauma, so it’s imperative that you know how to navigate it effectively, without re-traumatizing your clients and making things worse. That’s why this certification isn’t just trauma-informed, it’s HEALING-CENTERED. 

You will learn how to show up CONFIDENTLY, communicate the value of what you do, and stand out as the expert you are.

You’ll learn how to integrate ancient wisdom + the most cutting-edge neuroscience into YOUR practice and create transformations that your clients couldn’t access anywhere else.

I'm not teaching you to be a copycat of me or anyone else. I want you to fully embody your own way of doing it.

You want the best fucking skills out there AND be able to help your clients get faster more sustainable results this is for YOU.

If you think this is an extraordinary set of skills that will set you apart in the marketplace, you are 100% right.

Here's how it works:

Once you apply to the program you jump on a call to see if it's a good fit

​The program kicks off with a 1 day somatic retreat where you learn everything you need to know to succeed as a somatic practitioner.
​Over the next 3 months we meet weekly to integrate, improve your skills, & practice.
​You graduate with the Somatic Facilitator Certification and you are a walking embodiment of the work.

IT'S TIME TO GO BEYOND THE THINKING MIND

Despite what you hear from most of the coaching industry, thought work alone is not going to give your clients lasting, sustainable results.

If you’ve been following all the “proven approaches” of the major coaching schools and wondering why they don’t seem to be delivering results for your clients, this is why:

With mindset work alone, it can take weeks or months to talk through a problem your client is experiencing and transform her beliefs.

By integrating the body, you can uncover unconscious patterns in MINUTES and get to work on the deeper layers immediately. Through the body, you tap into your client’s unconscious mind and create true safety, facilitating lasting change.

I know it sounds hard to believe that this ONE thing can shift everything in your coaching sessions.

But trust me: just like mindset work was once considered the be-all, end-all of good coaching…

Bodywork is the new frontier of the coaching industry.

Being able to do this type of radical change work at both the conscious and unconscious levels is at the very cutting edge of where neuroscience meets ancient healing wisdom.

And you have the opportunity to be at the forefront of this movement, joining the new wave of coaches, therapists, and yoga teachers integrating the body’s deep wisdom into your practice.

I know that you don’t want to feel like all the other coaches, healers, therapists, and practitioners out there.

You want to feel like a badass warrior, a SAGE with incredible abilities.

Integrating the body – and therefore the unconscious mind – is what will give you the CONFIDENCE to show up and be the HEALER you are.

And there is no other FACILITATOR training that PROVIDES you with this level of MASTERY and EMBODIMENT.

This is exactly why I put together a program that not only gives you the credibility to do all of the above but equips you with the TOOLS and the CONFIDENCE to navigate anything your clients bring to your sessions.

WHAT MY STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY . . .

  • The Somatic Coach Certification is THE most non-judgmental, safe, and caring container I've experienced for life coaches. During my time in SCC, I had so many negative thoughts about myself and my coaching. No matter what I did, I often believed that my coaching was never "good enough" and that I was a "bad coach." After going through SCC, not only did I learn how to have more compassion for myself and my Inner Critic, but I also learned how to hold a powerful, shame-free space for my clients. I love that Rachel emphasizes the importance of not shaming your clients and allowing your clients to have full autonomy over their journey in life. However, she emphasizes the importance of "walking the walk" and "talking the talk" by ensuring that you know how to stop shaming and criticizing yourself. You doing your own self-healing work is CRUCIAL and often emphasized in the program. In addition, I loved all the somatic tools Rachel taught us. She introduced a wide variety of modalities, from breath work, to learning hypnotherapy from Clarissa Tu, grounding, resourcing, orienting, nervous system regulation, and much more. We learned how to create collaborative partnerships with our bodies and how to use our body's wisdom as a powerful tool in coaching ourselves and our clients. Rachel's coaching style is so compassionate, safe, and trauma-informed. She has helped me access many subconscious belief systems that I didn't realize was holding me back -- but with ease, warmth, and safety. I love her approach and I HIGHLY recommend this form of coaching to empower the client and give the client full autonomy over their lives!

    Charmaine - EFT Practioner and Chi Gong Instructor

  • Looking back 1.5 years to when I first started with Rachel, I am amazed at the practitioner, business owner, and human being I am today. I remember being so anxious about what now feels so neutral - from overthinking sharing even just one social media post to now actually feeling enjoyment and fulfillment with creating visibility. I’ve published a book, do public speaking with ease, and found a way to market that suits me. My hypnotherapy business has grown, profiting 2-3x more, thanks to Rachel’s holistic coaching on strategy, self-belief and, my favorite, doing it all with integrity. The coaching skills I’ve learned from her have been an incredible complement to my hypnotherapy background, sharpening my effectiveness with clients. Most of all, Rachel really cares, and has a clear mission to help clients help others in the way that is true to them. Rachel’s coaching was game-changing. I have clear markers of tangible success, with income and client flow. Most importantly, though, I live a life where I feel secure in my work and myself. Life is so much more enjoyable this way.

    Clarissa Tu - Hypnotherapist

  • These six months with Rachel as my coach and guide have been everything I needed. Rachel supported me as I grew my confidence to be unshakable. I used to hold back sharing about my services to potential clients and new acquaintances. Now I share with a fat smile on my face. She also guided me to realize that I have so much to offer clients for their healing and I needed the consistent reminder to know that my service is very much needed.

    Helen Lim - Energy Healer and Medium

  • Just a year ago, I was trying to decide what to do with my professional life. I was experiencing major burnt out from teaching and knew I needed to make a change. A dear friend turned me on to Rachel‘s Somatic Life Coaching certification and passed on her number to me. After one short phone conversation, I was hooked. This girl not only knows what she’s talking about & helps create major transformations in your life but she also provides such a comfortable safe space for all that you bring to the table. In addition, she is a kick ass, fun, amazing gal. So grateful for her and her program, but mostly grateful that she taught me how to trust in myself that this change is what I truly needed.

    Ally Kahler - Mindfulness Life Coach

  • I truly believe finding Rachel was a matter of divine universal intervention. I was very close to giving up on my coaching career. I was showing up for my clients under prepared with low confidence and no real skill sets. I literally would cry after each coaching session. I was devastated but knew in my soul this is what I was meant to do. After starting to work with Rachel, I slowly began to practice new fundamental techniques that became the structure to build my own self identity as a coach. In this safe container, I have been able to practice, stumble, improve, grow and become more the coach I once envisioned. The Somatic Coaching program is filled with incredible tools coupled with heartfelt feedback. Rachel once told me, she would hold confidence in me until I could hold it in myself. That simple statement allowed me to focus on improving without shrinking from fear. Now, I so fully believe in my coaching skills that I was able to comfortably double the price of my program.

  • ​​You are hungry to create earth shattering life altering transformations for you clients

The Somatic Process Method is a revolutionary approach that uses the intelligence of the body, the mind, and your energy to create lasting change. It is a holistic, integrative approach that goes beyond just mindset work and gets to the root cause of what is holding people back from achieving their highest potential.

The curriculum encompasses the following and so much more:

  • COACHING THE UNCONSCIOUS MIND

    Master the conscious/unconscious the #1 skill that will dramatically increase your effectiveness as a healer– whether in 1:1 conversations or in group work

    ​​Learn how to “read” the client’s unconscious communication to pinpoint what they need beyond what they’re telling you

    ​Access conscious expanding states… without drugs (if that sounds fun… it is!)

Now, imagine what it would feel like to…

Now, imagine what it would feel like to…

To never worry again that you can’t help someone because of their TRAUMA.

Knowing you’re an EXPERT – your tools and abilities set you aside because you are so dam good at what you do.

Have clients refer you to their friends and family because of the transformation you have provided for them.

This can be your life. It no longer needs to be a distant dream – it’s time to make it your reality.

What Is Somatic Process Work . . .

Somatic Process Work is a body-based approach to a one-on-one or small group setting to work towards personal growth and transformation. 

Somatic Process Work is a complement to traditional talk therapy or coaching as it moves from the brain and cognition to the body and sensation. Somatic coaching taps into the unconscious mind so we can get more sustainable results.

Working with the body is a powerful way to both address our past traumas and prepare for our future goals. 

In our current society, our bodies are often an afterthought – but our bodies hold so much information and contain pathways to wholeness. Engaging with our physical experiences can offer insight and strength in ways that are surprising and sometimes challenging. 

Our bodies hold the wisdom to so much of our healing and our faster way to access transformation.

In my practice, I use somatic techniques such as yoga, breath work, inner child work, parts work, process work psychology, and meditation to help you connect with deeper levels of consciousness and transmute wounds into growth. In this certification, you will learn how to use 10 different somatic tools -- including recognizing the best time to use each with a client.

Somatic Work can benefit anyone, we all deserve to be in an active relationship with our bodies, to have awareness of our sensations, and to move in the world from a place of connection and alignment.

This is the only coaching program that focuses on adding the emotional, physical, and energetic body into your coaching.

Most programs focus on targeting problems and creating solutions from either a mental, physical, or emotional perspective and do not have an integrative approach that embodies all three.  

Human beings are not one-dimensional therefore the process of true change also needs a multidimensional approach.  

The Somatic Process Method prepares you to assist clients no matter what problems they bring to you because we get to the root of the problem and then create lasting change in all three levels.

This is NOT just another certification that is going to collect dust in your repertoire of certificates but this is specifically designed to help you...

  • create profound transformation for your clients that goes beyond conscious awareness

  • be able to navigate trauma with grace and without any worry of re-traumatizing your clients.

  • break through even the most resistant clients and help them reach new levels of success

Here’s what this program is NOT about.

I am super aware that a lot of certifications are selling . . .

  • the promise that your life is going to just be sunshine and butterflies

  • “get rich quick” ploy

  • the idea that your well-being and ability to achieve goals is independent of what's going on in the world around you and that you shouldn't be at all affected by it (that's a load of crap)

  • the idea that you should mold your brain and your life so it looks like the cultural ideal of “perfection”

  • illusions of instant gratification, and “secret formulas” and “exclusive blueprints” that allow you to bypass the work

THIS IS BULLSHIT.

The goal of Somatic Work is to unlock each human's fullest potential.

And there is no right way to do this. So there is no formula, blueprint, or script.

Your growth looks completely different from someone else’s growth. The same is true for your clients.

And it (usually) doesn't look anything like what society believes it "should" (rich, thin, heterosexual, and happy all the fucking time).

Thriving is about being fully present with your human experience — including the challenging parts, the sadness, the anger, and the darkness.

Growth and expansion make room for all of it to unfold naturally exactly as it's meant to.

Thriving includes acknowledging the interconnectedness of all beings, and exercising your influence and privileges in a way that truly serves the communities you’re part of.

These concepts aren’t just boxes you check off. You embody them.

Yes, you will master the tools and skills that crack through the unconscious patterns that live within us,

And I will make sure that you feel fully aligned with your internal values the entire time.

You will learn to guide clients to define for themselves what happiness and thriving look like and follow that no matter what society says.

There was a moment when I wondered, "Will this work?!" And about a month in I found myself thinking, "holy crap... This is working!" Seeing the shift in my perspective is worth it's weight in gold! Seeing the shift in my studio has allowed me so many more opportunities than I ever thought possible.

Rachel has been an amazing support system for myself and my business. I'm working on things (like a business breakthrough for yoga teachers and a coaching business of my own! That I never thought I'd need or want to have. I feel more centered, and at peace with myself and my business, and have a renewed sense of confidence to pursue my dreams (and to dream BIG!) I found myself thinking, "holy crap... This is working!"

Maggie Olson - Business Coach

My favorite part of the course was observing Rachel coach and then getting to coach others in the group. I have found the more practice I got, the more comfortable I became, and then I could really focus on my clients and not on my own mind drama while coaching! I also loved incorporating the mindfulness/yoga component into the standard mind-based coaching methods. I integrate both in my coaching and find it so valuable.  

Fast forward to now. I have a five-figure coaching business and clients that I absolutely love. I feel confident in my coaching and I know I am making a difference in my clients’ lives. I will always be grateful to Rachel for helping me find and create my path and my passion.

Olivia - Yoga Teacher

Over the course of 6 months, my perspective and thought patterns changed drastically. 

Alicia - Life Coach

She helped me recognize some of my own mental setbacks that were keeping me from moving forward with reaching my goals. I appreciate the way she listens, holds the space, and helps me see my thoughts more clearly. With her help and great insight, I'm able to move in that direction.
