ABOUT THE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

DEEPEN AND REFINE YOUR SKILLS AS A SOMATIC PRACTITIONER

Our Somatic Practitioner Mentorship program is designed to offer you a container of support as you develop your skills as a Somatic Practitioner or Therapist. It will also help guide and enhance your personal process and practice of the tools you have gained in either your Certificate program with The Embody Lab, or other somatic-based programs.

If you want to deepen your understanding of the practice of somatic therapies, refine your skills as a practitioner, and enhance your capacity to offer this life-changing work to others… this program is for you!

The Fall Mentorship program will run live and online from November 14th, 2024 - April 10th, 2025.

The mentorship program includes:

  • Six 3-hour mentoring sessions. 

  • Four 90-minute master level Embodied Practitioner Skills workshops to deepen and enhance your practitioner skills. 

  • Community Connection session led by Dr. Scott Lyons.

Each 3-hour mentoring session will include:

  • Part 1: Live demonstration of working with a client from a esteemed mentor, followed by a deconstruction of that session, analysis of techniques used, and question and answer

  • Part 2: Guidance for up to four case studies per session with three of our esteemed mentoring faculty supporting the practitioners

All sessions will be recorded and participants will receive lifetime access to the recordings at no extra cost.

Deepen your embodiment and learn practical applications of Somatic Therapy 

Through demonstrations led by your mentors, you will witness and experience the application and integration of the somatic and body-based healing techniques explored in our Certificate Programs.

Case-Studies

As a participant you will be invited to submit a case study prior to each mentoring session for guidance and support by three of our esteemed mentoring faculty during the live sessions. Up to four case-studies will be explored per mentoring session. 

All participants will have the opportunity to participate in the discussion and Q&A.

Community Connection facilitated by Dr. Scott Lyons

A community connection is included in the program as a way to further connect with other participants.


 
Our basic blueprint as humans is connection and bonding- sometimes we just need the right support at the right time to find our way back home.
— DR. SCOTT LYONS
