If you're here, you probably already know you want to learn somatic work.
You've had the patient who understands everything and still can't change.
You've read the books. Maybe you've even felt it work in your own body.
The hard part is choosing who to learn it from.
Because somatic is everywhere right now. Weekend workshops. Three-year programs. Apps. Someone's Instagram course.
So before you pick anyone (me included), I want you to ask a few questions.
You can teach somatic work from a textbook. You can't hold it from one.
Not a teaching assistant. Not a forum. Them.
At 200, you're a login. At 20, you're a name.
If you haven't felt it, you won't trust it in a session.
Three years in-person isn't realistic with a full patient list. A weekend isn't enough to use it safely.
Yoga saved my life. I'm not exaggerating.
I grew up with trauma, did years of talk therapy, and could explain every single thing that had happened to me. My body didn't care. It was somatic work that finally changed things.
I've spent every year since teaching that work to the people who look after everyone else: doctors, psychiatrists, therapists, nurses and practitioners who run their own clinics. I have 1,500+ hours of my own training and I've been teaching this exact program for over a decade.
A few things about me:
"I have been working with Holli for two years⦠I consider it to be fundamental to my understanding of myself and my wellbeing. Holli is a wise and knowledgeable teacher who challenges in a way that is as transformative as it is gentle."
βThis course is one of the most life changing experiences I have had. I am so grateful to Holli for delivering such an in-depth, holistic course that for me captures the true essence, an amazing gift!β
"It was an incredible experience. My yoga has been so empowering for me. I actually like being 'me' for the first time ever!! It's been an amazing journey for me. I contacted my psychologist and said I would contact her if I felt the need to but haven't had to."
"Holli facilitates an amazing online group. It's a safe, supportive, nourishing and intimate environment full of inspiration and rich interaction. It has really helped the development of both my personal yoga practice and the launch of my business. If you're thinking of trying itβ¦no need to think twice. It's so so full of goodness and benefits!"
βThe course for me was profoundly & intensely beautiful. While not always easy, it is from these challenges that a deepening occurs. The teachings of Sacred Seeds comes from the heart and are delivered in meaningful ways.β
'Whenever anyone asks I always emphasise the passion and genuine nature of [the course]. [Holli] sees yoga as a way of life and teaches with heart of wanting to help people grow. This is inspiring to me and makes the class more than just receiving instructionβ
βExtremely passionate & highly knowledgeable, caring teachers make this course what it is. Not simply a certificate, but a way of living, thinking and opening ourself further than one could ever imagine. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to expand not only their physical practice, but also their entire beingβ
β[Holli] offered me a journey into myself, giving me the tools to heal & grow in my yoga practice. It has challenged me to develop trust in my body & allowed me to be part of a supportive & varied community"
βHolli is extremely passionate & highly knowledgeable, and caring. This is not simply a certificate, but a way of living, thinking and opening further than one could ever imagine. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to expand not only their practice, but also their entire beingβ
βThis training so far feels like the start of a beautiful self healing and awareness journey of body & spirit. Furthermore with this inner healing and supportive and informative training program I am feeling more confident to start the process of teaching others to help themselvesβ
βThis training is the start of a beautiful self-healing and awareness journey of body & spirit. Furthermore, with this inner healing and supportive and informative training program I am feeling more confident to start the process of teaching others to help themselvesβ
"Aside from the physical learning, Iβm touched to have learnt from people who are sincerely practicing & exploring the essence of yoga & want to inspire others in the same way"
βThe mentorship program was invaluable! Being able to learn one on one was amazing! I feel it really deepened my understanding...also, it was good to have to take responsibility, independently & have what youβve been working on ready for the next meeting with the mentor. I can become quite reliant on groups as support & itβs good to be self-motivated instead. I think it sets you up well for using the material professionallyβ
βItβs fun & intense, be prepared to experience feelings & emotions in a safe, caring environment. This training has highlighted behaviors that needed changing. It has helped me to ask questions of myself & explore the why of my patterns such as procrastination.β
βThis course has given me the foundation and confidence to become a yoga teacher. It has provided me with a lot of experiential practice, deepened myself awareness and knowledge on the yoga philosophies, asanas for all levels, body anatomy, and adjustmentsβ
βAn opportunity to immerse yourself in an encouraging & beautiful yoga community, to enhance your yogic journey & challenge you to form a solid foundation to bring yoga to othersβ
βThis yoga course has deepened my yoga practice on all levels. The dedication & knowledge of the teachers is instructive, guiding & inspiring. I feel lucky this pathway opened in my life!β
βA really well rounded course that helps develop personal understanding and teaching tools across many kinds of yoga. Itβs helped give me the tools necessary to not only share the tools but also to better thrive in day-to-day lifeβ
You can start using it in your first month, on yourself, between patients. Most people notice the difference in how they feel at 5pm before they notice it anywhere else. And it fits around your week.
Somatic sessions, small groups, workshops: a new service you can add to the practice you already have. Something most practitioners near you can't offer.
You can be certified in as little as 6 months. And you won't wait until the end to use it. Our private sessions are about your patients now, while you're still training.
Only 20 places. Enrollment closes October 31.
Most somatic work starts with the nervous system. The Heartmind Method starts with the heart, where we regulate, connect and feel safe. It brings together yoga, breathwork, neuroscience and Eastern medicine.
You can't guide someone through what you haven't felt.
8 one-to-one sessions on your own patients and your own practice.
I didn't learn this from a textbook. It's how I healed.
Use it from your first month, starting with yourself between patients, so you finish the day with energy left
Spend less session time going round the same story with patients who are stuck
Add a new service to your practice: somatic sessions, small groups or workshops
Offer something most practitioners in your area can't, and charge like it
Get certified in as little as 6 months, at about 8 hours a week
Shortcut the years of trial and error by learning a method that's been taught for 10+ years
The Program
You learn the method in your own body. Most people tell me this is the part they didn't know they needed.
How to take someone else through it safely: the sequencing, the trauma-aware practice, what to do and what not to.
This is where our private sessions do the heavy lifting. We work out exactly how it fits your patients and your scope, so it doesn't stay in a notebook.
No. It's a 200-hour somatic certification registered with Yoga Alliance. You use it alongside your existing training, within your own license and scope.
Trauma-aware practice is built into the method, including when not to use certain practices. We'll work through your specific setting in our private sessions.
Yes. At the slowest pace it's about 4 hours a week, and I'll help you plan it on our call.
No. Most graduates bring it into the practice they already have.
You and I talk about your work and whether this fits. No pressure.
You'll have access within 24 hours of enrolling.
