News and announcements about the field of Somatics, health care, education, and related matters.
We are excited to announce that we've opened our new center in downtown Northampton. We are right on Main Street, on the busiest block in town, a few doors down from Thornes Marketplace.
Last month we held what we thought was our only free Somatics Clinic in Northampton until the end of the year. But then, unexpectedly, we arranged a last-minute meeting of this year's graduating class in Northampton, and so we have the opportunity one more time to offer our one day only, completely free Public Clinic this Saturday, March 28th, 2015, and you are invited to join us!
We had such a nice time at our special $20 clinic 2 weeks ago…Even though we had to operate it under 24" inches of snow! Â
Well now it's that time again:  Our much less frequent and one day only, completely free Public Clinic is happening this Saturday, February 28th, 2015, and you are invited to join us.
We are excited to announce a special new Somatics clinic. We know that the cost of Somatics sessions can be challenging for some people who need Clinical Somatics, or simply want to try it out.
For the first time ever, we are offering a week of sessions for only $20 a session!
We have made special arrangements with our senior practitioners-in-training to provide this valuable service. Whether you are brand new to Somatics and just simply want to give it a try; have been wanting to obtain the pain-relief, injury, relaxation, or fitness benefits of Somatics for a long time; or an old Somatics friend looking for an affordable tune-up, we hope you will take advantage of this opportunity.
We are pleased to announce that Somatic Systems Institute is offering one more starting class of the Somatics Professional Training Program our Northampton, MA campus beginning February 15, 2014. Applications are being accepted now.
After 3+ years traveling to provide training programs in other parts of the country, we are back in Northampton with our next Somatics Professional Training class.
The next Somatics Professional class starts at our Northampton, MA campus on July 13, 2013. Applications are being accepted now.
Somatic Systems Institute is now an Approved Continuing Education Provider with the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork. The Somatics Professional Training classes are also approved courses. Many of our individual courses that have been NCBTMB Approved are included in the Somatics Professional Training Program. This means you can attend the Somatics Professional Training Program, and earn more than 100 credits per semester -- the kind which many states require massage therapists and some other kinds of bodyworkers complete to maintain their licenses.

Most states require licensing for massage therapists, and most of those states require that massage therapists and some other kinds of bodyworkers complete NCBTMB Approved continuing education hours each year to maintain their license.
