SOMATIC TRAININGS FOR SOMATIC PEOPLE
Our trainings go beyond teaching the theory. We are interested in supporting wellness professionals to become exceptionally skilled somatic practitioners. Many trainings will teach you what somatic work is. We teach you how to embody somatically and offer transformative life-changing healing for your clients (and yourself)
If you feel ready to deepen into the potential of your somatic practice, this is what are trainings are designed to support
We don't just teach more protocols. We teach you to listen, notice, attune and respond, and to trust what's unfolding because you trust yourself from your own depth of experience.

FIND COMMUNITY & SUPPORT
As practitioners, we hold space for everyone else and don't have a place for themselves to receive that same level of support. At SIH you learn in a small cohort, receive work as often as you give it, and stay connected after certification through our ongoing community.

"From day one, Jessica and the SIH team created a welcoming and supportive space—it was immediately clear that we were in good hands."
"I’m blown away by how powerful this modality is. It’s like a full-body and mind “tune-up,” helping to shift things physically, emotionally, and relationally in ways I didn’t even realize were possible."
"Jessica is incredible. She teaches with zero pretense, loads of humor, and heart wisdom, meeting everyone exactly where they are."

OUR APPROACH
SIH draws on 4 foundations. From Somatic Experiencing, we understand trauma through the nervous system and see health as the capacity to move flexibly between activation and rest. From Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, we orient toward the health and intelligence already present in each person. From Polarity Therapy, when energetic opposites are in balance and moving, health arises. And from yoga therapy, movement and posture induce nervous system states and support the return of organic rhythms.
​
Together, SIH is relational attunement, presence-based healing, somatically centered practices, and transformational embodied awakening to one's fullest capacity for health & interconnectedness.

"This program didn't just teach me to do but transformed me to just BE."

Meet Jessica
CREATOR OF SOMATIC INTUITIVE HEALING®
​
Somatic Intuitive Healing was created by Jessica Garay, SEP, RCST, PLC, who has taught since 2009 and trained yoga teachers and somatic practitioners since 2015.
​
After years of teaching nervous system work, bodywork, movement and relational healing, one idea kept standing out: knowing about the body isn't the same as practicing from the body. SIH exists to bridge that gap.
