Somatic Therapy Training

Unlock your unique gifts as a healer.

Samana Healing offers multi-dimensional training in somatic therapy, energy healing, and metaphysics that supports your unique professional development as a healer, coach, empath, or therapist. Because you have a unique voice and calling, forever evolving, Samana training is designed to support you in deepening, honing, and honoring your gifts.

If you are looking for a teacher, let it be the teacher within.

If you are looking for belonging, let it be the body that shows you where you belong.

If you are looking for permission, let it be ancient laughter that says, “You had it all along.”

Samana Healing offers training that coalesces and bolsters the gifts you already have, building upon them in a context of positive psychology.

Training may include:

  • Ancestral partnership and mediumship

  • Angel guidance

  • Art therapy and creative forming

  • Astral projection and distance healing

  • Authentic movement and contemplative dance

  • Buddhist psychology, including vipassana, metta, and Satipaṭṭhāna meditation

  • Chakra alignment and energy work

  • Dreamwork and co-creating in liminal states

  • Economic systems and the nature of wealth and abundance

  • Laws of Ease, Laws of Enough, and Law of Attraction

  • Metaphysics, quantum physics, and neuroscience

  • Mysticism and alchemy

  • Pleasure activism, sacred sexuality, the erotic mind

  • Psychology of language, including poetry and non-linear forms

  • Shamanic journeying

  • Social justice, dismantling & eroding oppressive systems, rest as resistance

Your training includes the disciplines and spiritual practices that are unique to YOU.

While other somatic training programs have more rigidity and problem-oriented focus, Samana Healing co-creates your program of study based on your holistic approach as a healer or coach. You will receive in-depth training in energy healing, somatic therapy, and imaginal practices, and then build upon these within your own cosmology, values, and practices. The result is a powerful offering of your presence and services that is as life-changing for you as it is for your clients. And you will have the context and skills to grow your business on a path of increasing ease and humor.

"Working with Julie Ann felt like magic. The ideas she shared were really powerful and immediately clicked for me. After our session, I was able to put aside my notes, tools, frameworks and just be present with my clients. I was able to bring ease into my conversations and trust myself to ask the questions that naturally arose instead of worrying so much about the "rules of coaching". Working with Julie Ann helped me become a better coach for my clients."

Samana Healing brings a positive psychology approach to somatic therapy that upholds ease and humor as essential to our individual and collective healing.

Students begin by creating a Fairy Godmother Wish List. You will describe your future self and the professional practice you would like to create. We’ll use this list as a map in our first time session so you can experientially understand the somatic and energetic practices that provide the base for exploration throughout training. We’ll discuss your unique abilities and interests, then diving into a somatic and energetic journey to allow body wisdom and spiritual guidance to lead the way.

Developing your work and stepping into your confidence as a practitioner takes time, commitment, and faith.

  • a demonstrated ability to work with your unique toolkit of somatic and energy healing practices with clients

  • consistent daily practice as a foundation for easeful growth

  • an understanding of oppressive systems and contexts and the role of your healing practices play in dismantling them

  • an articulated vision of what you wish to offer and to whom

  • a community of colleagues and mentors who are in alignment with your ethics and values

“Julie shines brightly with her approach, tenderness, humor, and professionalism as a somatic healer and mentor. I sought her out as a mentor for some training to increase my toolkit, but I have gained much more… their unbelievable skillset and wealth of knowledge pour out during our sessions while keeping on track. She guides and holds a space that feels deeply in alignment with my desires. I cannot say enough good things about how beautiful it is to be supported, coached, mentored, and seen by Julie.”
