Trauma Informed Somatic therapy: Exclusive Track
Professional Certificate Training
In spite of the vast amount of interest we have had in this training over the last years, Aimee has made a conscious and intentional choice to avoid this school becoming a machine, cycling hundreds if not thousands of students a year through a training treadmill. Our Self Study Standard Track allows vital accessibility at an affordable rate, but our exclusive track allows for something else entirely - something not offered by any other market equivalent.
Aimee doesn't want you to be an anonymous unknown face on a zoom call. She wants to know you, journey alongside you, help you heal, and personally support you to become the best practitioner you can be. To make this possible she now takes only one or two very small live online training groups a year and works exclusively with those trainees. We receive around 150 applications per cohort and have room for only around 20 fully committed individuals. Mentoring was the way of old, learning directly from and with a skilled other. Modern training has too often lost its humanity and its intimacy. This training is different. We seek to offer some of the most up to date evidence based approaches to therapuetic healing, in a way that is rarely offered in our mechanistic consumeristic paradigm. This training is for those willing and able to take a deep dive, those with sensitivity but resilience, those looking for a community of fellow seekers, healers and peers, those looking for another way, a way that is truly trauma informed, holistic, soulful and somatic in its orentation, without becoming fluffy or confused in its approach.
"As usual Aimee blew me away, with the ability to take the soul searching to another level. The combination of everything you do, teach and guide brings tears, joy and some kind of magic."
