Clinical Somatic Education
Only certified practitioners are legally able to teach movement classes or provide sessions using the name “Clinical Somatic Educator”. Students currently participating in a recognized training program are able to advertise themselves using specific terminology which identifies them as practitioners-in-training.
First of all, there are no such programs available: there are no practitioners licensed or authorized in any way to train individual students in Clinical Somatic Education.
Yes, this is the only authentic Clinical Somatic Education training currently available. While other training programs may advertise under similar names, only Somatic Systems Institute is able to offer full certification in Clinical Somatic Education. The information and techniques you will learn in our training program is derived directly from the work of Dr. Thomas Hanna, and our curriculum was created by members of his original class.
The Somatic Systems Institute Professional Training Program is based directly on the curriculum taught by Thomas Hanna, and we have worked hard to maintain the core beliefs and techniques that he presented in 1991. However, over time we have adjusted and refined our program in a variety of ways to ensure that our students are receiving the highest quality education and support possible.
Educational Methods
