"We are always embodied. To ignore the body in the coaching dialogue is to miss a world of opportunities."

Creator of Applied Somatics Coaching Certification Course
As coaches, we understand the body’s vital role in transformation. Yet for many, incorporating somatics into coaching conversations can feel unfamiliar or intimidating.
That’s exactly why we created the Applied Somatic Coaching Certification Course—a powerful, experiential program designed to help you move from curiosity to confidence in your somatic coaching practice. This course is designed to cultivate confidence and skill within the somatic domain. This course will help you hone your somatic coaching skills to deepen your ability to spark sustained transformation and insight with your clients. Through thoughtfully curated experiences, we will explore, practice and embody the art of somatic coaching through time-tested Newfield methodologies and innovative curriculum.
At the heart of the training is a deep immersion in the Somatic Coaching Competencies (SCCs)—a framework aligned with the ICF Core Competencies. These are the fundamental skills needed to practice somatic coaching effectively and powerfully. The SCC's emphasize the specific skills required to be an effective somatically informed coach. As you practice the SCCs, you will find your skill and artfulness amplified.
Whether you’re new to somatics. or looking to refine and deepen your skills, this course will:
- Build confidence to actively bring the body into your coaching
- Deepen your ability to facilitate insight and transformation
- Increase your fluency, nuance and flow with navigating somatics in your coaching practice

You’ll be introduced to the “Coach’s Somatic Orientation”—a vital foundation that enhances your ability to create meaningful, embodied change with clients.

This month serves as the foundation for the entire course, providing you with the strength to evolve into a more artful and skillful somatic coach.

Additionally, we will learn straightforward and effective somatic safety practices to further build trust with our clients.
Month 3: Navigating Change – The Transformational Arc & Somatic Inquiry
Discover the Transformational Arc, a four-phase model that allows for precise intervention in the process of change. You’ll learn how to recognize where your client is on their journey and tailor your somatic inquiry to meet them exactly where they are in real time.
Month 4: Deepening Insight – Pattern Recognition & Somatic Tools
Learn to see somatic patterns with fresh eyes, expanding both your observational range and your ability to ask powerful, body-based coaching questions. You’ll be introduced to transformational somatic tools designed to help clients see and shift entrenched patterns and embody new insights.

The final month is all about weaving it all together. You’ll deepen your understanding, refine your skills, and co-create embodied practices to support clients in sustaining change.
