THE SOMATIC EDUCATOR FOR WOMEN CERTIFICATION STARTING APRIL 2025
Somatic Institute for Women
Reclaiming your birth right to living from your sensuality
In a world that values productivity and performance over well-being and deep self connection, we are often left feeling disconnected from our bodies, our emotions and our sense of who we really are.
Sensation Is Sacred offers a clear, trauma-informed roadmap to nurture your sensual nature.
Towards the self-sourced, profound and enduring sense
of safety, worthiness and freedom that lives within our bodies.
Join us in this powerful step away from the culture of disconnection, over stimulation & disembodiment and discover how your sensuality is a pathway to freedom & an agent for creating a more attuned, connected and empathic world.
Sensation Is Sacred Provides
A Pathway To
Rediscover Your Sensuality
Reconnect with the profound wisdom and aliveness of your somatic sensations, allowing you to tap into a boundless source of joy, fulfilment, and well-being.
​
​
Transform Our Culture Through Sensual Embodied Activism
Embody sensuality as a form of powerful activism against the capitalist and patriarchal constructs of separation.
Through reclaiming your sensuality, you contribute to creating a more compassionate and interconnected world ( it'll make sense when you join the workshop! )
Free Yourself From The Hustle
Let go of the craving for external achievements to cultivate a deep sense of presence and connection within yourself.
​

​
​
Reclaim your birthright as a women to feeling & expressing your sensual aliveness
You will redefine sensuality, liberating yourself from limiting and misogynistic notions of what it means to embody sensuality as a woman. Embrace the profound sacredness and innate freedom in joyfully expressing your sensuality without constraints.

What Our Students Say
Workshop 1
Reclaiming Sensuality as an agent for inner & outer transformation
In this immersive workshop, we'll explore the impact of internalized capitalism & misogyny on our sensuality.
By recognizing and addressing this disconnect, we can reclaim and expand our understanding of our sensual nature in a healthy & empowering way & discover how it not only transforms the connection to ourselves but acts as an agent for change in the world.
Workshop 2
Sensuality, Trauma & the Nervous System
In this workshop, you will learn the trauma-informed approach to embodying sensuality.
You will receive insight into how trauma manifests in the body & practical tools to regulate your nervous systems and cultivate a sense of somatic safety within yourself.
It is only from a place of embodied safety that we can sincerely expand into the fullness of our sensuality, our pleasure and our power to act in the world.
Workshop 3
Somatic practices to embody your sensual nature.
Be guided into somatic practices that will support you to embody sensuality.
Experience a transformative, felt sense of what it’s like to live from a place of embodied pleasure and body-wisdom.
This isn’t just a temporary experience. This is a way of being in the world.
In this way, we can change the culture that lives within our bodies, to bring an end to the consciousness of disconnection and destruction of our earth.
