“I’m so glad that I followed my intuition about doing trainings with Soma Mystica. I was looking to continue my education around somatics and understanding trauma and their programs and course do a great job of going deep into those. If you’re a hands-on learner like I am, I highly recommend attending one of their in person trainings. The immersion is deep and incredible to witness and be a part of.” -  Adrienne (Breath of Gold - Breathwork Certification)

 

"I'd rather be whole than good" - Carl Jung

 

The SOMAMYSTICA® Practitioner Training & Self Holding Method Modality teaches you how to, first and foremost, hold yourself and your own darkness with Grace. 

It is only by being able to hold yourself through the spaces of the unknown and to learn how to love yourself in the moments where life gets ugly and messy, that you are able to truly support others to journey these parts of themselves & to come home to love and self acceptance. 

With teachings on the Unconscious and the Shadow, we teach you how to tap into the space of the unknown and how to draw through the wisdom of the unconscious, to integrate it.

“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason.

I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.” - Anais Nin

Lets discuss this opportunity in more detail.

"For many years I have taken certifications, undergone trainings and mentored under different teachers to widen my mind & embody the teachings.

Yet…..

There was a gap, a missing link…

How to communicate what we know in the esoteric world & how to merge this with the scientific world.

Sigourney Belle & Soma Mystica has bridged this gap!

By being in her world for the past few years, so much has opened and solidified in my field.

Not only has my own knowledge become more embodied and visibility has gone through the roof because of using these practices, but my clients and their clients are having mind boggling results!

One of my clients with cancer is experiencing so much relief & the cancer is in remission.

If you were waiting to hop on board, the time is now! The world needs more of us!"
