Summary of Marina's workshop:

As you know our body keeps the score, and there are always “issues in the tissues” underneath any traumatic event. Whether you are a seasoned hypnotherapist, a beginning healing practitioner, or a regular person who wants to learn how to regulate their nervous system and heal physical and mental issues- this workshop is for you. You will learn my signature HEAL Method©. It is based on the blend of various mind-body practices I learned through the years in order to unleash blocked energy in the system responsible for mental and physical dysfunction, imbalance, and illness, while releasing lifelong blocks that shift all aspects of emotional wellbeing.

By the end of the training you will:

1. Have an in-depth understanding of the connection between physical disease and emotional blocks in the system using body maps.
2. Realize how trauma changes the brain and affects nervous system and the body.
3. Know how to release blocks, find and heal the root emotional issues underlying mental and physical health challenges.
4. Gain tools on how to work with “difficult clients” who are dissociated from or overwhelmed with their pain.
5. Gain somatic techniques to regulate nervous system and learn self-regulation tools
6. Shift your own (and your clients’) destructive patterns and self-sabotaging behaviors in the most ecological way.
7. Become true mind-body detectives by learning how to read your clients using profiling techniques, micro-expressions tools, kinesthetic testing, and spinal energy gateways
8. Get ready-to-use somatic and hypnotic healing scripts, client cheat sheets, recorded audios, and templates.
9. Have hands-on, practical activities which will help you gain clarity and confidence as a somatic practitioner (I will not be a talking head/ lecture type of guide for you!).
10. Learn emotional release and reset body points.

We will get loud as this will be an interactive, fun, engaging (and at times dancing) workshop!

At the end of this training you will walk out as confident Certified Somatic Trauma-Informed Mind-Body Practitioners and receive CEU credits.
