Welcome to the next level of transformation and integration for practitioners, healers, and guides of all disciplines.

Transformational Coaching with an Emphasis in Somatic Integration Therapy is an immersive online certification program that teaches you how to work skillfully at the intersection of mind, body, and consciousness.

Grounded in depth psychology, somatics, interpersonal neurobiology, and contemplative traditions, this program offers a truly integrative pathway into the heart of transformational change.

Our trauma-informed approach supports both you and those you serve in cultivating:

  • deeper self-awareness

  • emotional regulation and resilience

  • clarity of intuition and inner guidance

  • embodied authenticity

  • attuned and ethical presence with clients

  • greater ease and coherence in the body

You will learn how to guide transformational processes safely, compassionately, and effectively—supporting clients through meaningful shifts that create long-term change.

Why this matters now

We are living through a time of profound psychological, cultural, and spiritual transition. Old models of healing—overly cognitive, disembodied, or symptom-focused—no longer meet the complexity of what clients are facing.

People are struggling with fragmentation, overwhelm, meaning crises, dysregulation, and wounds that live as much in the body as in the mind.

They are asking for guides who can hold depth, hold nuance, and hold them.

This program meets that need.

Because clients now require practitioners who can…

  • Understand the interplay of nervous system states, psyche, and consciousness

  • Work with trauma in a regulated, ethical, and somatically-informed way

  • Recognize archetypes, complexes, patterns, and the unconscious

  • Support integration, not just insight

  • Create belonging, safety, and coherence in a rapidly destabilizing world

  • Guide transformation that is embodied, not performative

Because healing is shifting from quick fixes to deep integration.

People are no longer looking only for strategies.

They want presence.

They want attunement.

They want a guide who can walk with them into the deeper layers of their experience and help them return with clarity, meaning, and self-trust.

Because the world needs practitioners who are grounded, compassionate, and skillfully awake.

This program trains coaches and helpers who can meet the moment and serve as anchors of integrity, insight, and embodied transformation.

Who is this program for?

This certification is designed for both established and aspiring:

  • Coaches & Transformational Guides

  • Therapists, Counselors, & Social Workers

  • Yoga Teachers & Meditation Instructors

  • Somatic Practitioners & Bodyworkers

  • Mentors, Leaders, & Space Holders

  • Healing Artists & Integrated Practitioner

  • Motivated Learners drawn to depth, consciousness, and embodiment

Whether you’re beginning your professional path or deepening decades of work, this program offers a grounded, rigorous, heart-centered approach to transformational practice.

What makes this program unique

1. A Truly Integrative Approach

This program weaves together depth psychology, somatic practices, attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and contemplative traditions. You learn how mind, body, and consciousness interact, and how to work with all three in a grounded, ethical way.

2. Trauma-Informed + Transformation-Oriented

We teach transformation from a place of nervous system safety, not intensity. Students learn how to guide clients gently, effectively, and without retraumatization.

3. Embodiment First, Techniques Second

You don’t simply learn tools; you learn to embody them. This creates coaches who are attuned, present, and trustworthy guides in moments that matter.

4. Rooted in Depth & Soul

Drawing from Jungian psychology, yoga psychology, and integrative neuroscience, the program honors both the psychological and the sacred dimensions of healing.

5. Direct Access to Experienced Mentors

You train directly with Leanne and Shilah, not assistants or pre-recorded modules. This intimate mentorship is part of what students value most.

6. A Community That Feels Like Belonging

You are held inside a supportive, diverse cohort of practitioners committed to integrity, depth, compassion, and real inner work.
