OTG – Opening to Grace

“Opening to Grace Somatic Studies offers professional training for practitioners in the fields of Counseling, Healthcare and the Healing Arts.”

Are you interested in Somatic Studies?

Opening to Grace Somatic Studies offers professional training for practitioners in the fields of Counselling, Healthcare and the Healing Arts.  The counselling field is currently in a paradigm shift from cognitive to psychobiological (Somatic) models of therapy.  The training focuses on relational and somatic approaches. This experiential format brings leading-edge information in neurobiology, trauma renegotiation and attachment work alive. Information becomes accessible and applicable through embodied learning and skill building explorations. Classes are held in a small group format and range from workshops, and staff training to a comprehensive full training certification program. The training prepares participants to work with others in a more informed, embodied and relationally attuned way.
