About this Workshop

Life can be overwhelming, but you have been very successful in dealing with all the things that have happened to you! There's a good chance that much of your coping strategy has involved shutting up the signals that your body gives you! 

The truth is, healing can only occur when your work with your body. 

In this course you will learn how to tune in to your body and discover the very things your body needs to feel safe, supported, and acknowledged. 

 Safety is the most important component to coming back to yourself in order to heal. This workshop focuses on how to foster safety through coming back to the body, as well as honoring the heart and mind.

You will learn how to work with the Parts of you that didn’t get their needs met in childhood and take charge of your life at times.  You will learn movements that integrate your brain with your body and heart. There are breathing techniques, and other surprises! See you on the inside!

Join us Live!

Testimonials & Experiences

The Integrative Somatic Support Workshop is exactly what I have needed in my practice with clients.  Its simplicity makes it easy to learn and accessible to everyone. As I use it more and more I realize how deep it goes and how foundational it is for all types of personal healing work.  It "equals
more than the sum of its parts"!

 Susan V.

This is a piece of healing work that has been missing in my practice with others and especially with my family. It helps others help themselves in their own journey.

 Janae D

Ever since this workshop came to be, I have been using the techniques not only for myself, but for my clients. I love how it helps me be more in tune with my emotional, mental, and physical states. Working with my Parts allows me to honor and support the parts of me that continue to struggle. This helps me stay out of my story and process my triggers more easily. 

 Debbie L

I really liked the Somatic Class that I took with Tami and Debbie. The manual was so well put together and easy to follow and the videos were great for review and to practice.

It was fun to be in class and hear everyone’s comments and experiences with the material.
This class really helped me understand myself better in all areas- body, mind and emotionally.
I had some aha moments on some issues I’ve been holding onto for years.  I highly recommend the Somatic Class and I think everyone could benefit from it no matter their level of experience with energy work!

 Janette W

My most important takeaway was how to differentiate feelings from sensations, and the different tools to use as supports. Crazy that we never learn these simple but helpful tools growing up. 

I really like that this was the first class before anything. I think understanding our somatic body and the different way it tries to communicate with us, and how to support ourselves or a client experiencing something, is important and a great foundation of knowledge to have.

 Maura T

"Before taking the Somatics class, I had thought I knew 'enough' about somatics because I'd read books and watched videos on the subject. And yes, I did know about somatics ... but I did not know as much as I thought I knew. Participating in the Somatics class enriched the knowledge I'd previously gained (which, honestly, was mostly theoretical) and expanded the knowledge to make it more useful and real. I enjoyed working with others and learning from the real experiences of Tami, Debbie, Ron, and other class members. I started to develop confidence in myself as I practiced the techniques and used them throughout my week. 

One of the most valuable pieces I learned was recognizing when I was in a functional freeze and being able to negotiate myself through the functional freeze and back into genuine functioning (instead of just powering forward as I used to do)."

Tami Davis

Instructor Bio:

Tami Davis has been an Energy Kinesiology practitioner for the past 12 years. Some of the modalities she employs are: LEAP, Hugo Tobar’s Neuroenergetic Kinesiology, and Ron Wayman’s Chakra Touch, Emotional Balancing, Nutrition, Elementos, Meridian Switching and Communication Courses.In 2006 Tami joined the team at Sensory Dynamics, as an Energy Kinesiologist and Empowerment Life Coach.  She has assisted Ron in developing several courses, particularly with her invaluable charts and diagrams within the power-packed manuals, allowing students to reinforce what is taught so they can use it outside of the classroom.  In the class, students are guided toward an understanding of powerful concepts to assist them on their road to working with others.This is an incredible journey, especially for those that have special gifts of intuition, psychic abilities, being a medical intuitive etc.  The students discover ways to tap into their gifts and also gain skills which will allow them to maintain objectivity. This allows for a balance to maintain professionalism and congruency, allowing them to truly help other people heal themselves.
