Warmest welcome! We’re so glad you’re here
Golden Mandala Somatic Coach Academy© was set up 5 years ago to train practitioners, especially female practitioners - Coaches, Therapists, Social Workers, Yoga Teachers, Wellness Practitioners, Healers - to teach in compassionate, needs-led and bio-psycho-social & spiritual approach, integrated with trauma-informed somatic approach, including Focusing (Embodied Listening) in their coaching and teaching.
Our professionally accredited training certification courses are for practitioners who want to work with focus on creating spaces for deep integration, wholeness and healing, and by encouraging clients and students to develop their own sense of agency through choice and collaboration; practitioners who want to become true embodied feminine leaders within their communities, and teach somatic and embodiment practices that make a real difference to their clients’ wellbeing and lives.
I’m Aneta Idczak, CEO, Director of Education and Main Trainer at Golden Mandala Somatic Coach Academy©
I’ve been on my own journey of healing, learning and growing for over 30 years now. I’ve been practicing yoga, mindfulness and somatics since then and have a strong body-focused and sprititual practice that is the foundation of everything I do.
I completed my first NLP and Coaching, and Counselling training 30 years ago and since then many other training courses in various modalities. I love learning and from experience I know there are many courses out there that provide a lot of learning and theory but do not provide deep embodied transformation.
Many coaching approaches focus on one area of growth, usually it’s to do with goal setting, taking action and working with beliefs and mindset. They follow ‘Cartesian Thinking’ and focus on the power of mind but neglect other aspects of our human experience: Soma and Soul.
This is why I created this training programme with a bio-psycho-social-spiritual and needs-led integrative approach drawing on three decades of studying various psychological, therapeutic, movement and body-focused, and spiritual modalities.
My approach is further influenced by over 25 years of working with trauma and its impact with individuals, families and communities, in Social Care, in the community and in my own business.
I love supporting other female practitioners and I’ve been training, mentoring, coaching and supervising front line workers, practitioners and business owners for the last 20 years.
Welcome and I hope you will resonate with our approach!
We are One-of-a-Kind, Trauma-Informed Somatic Coach Training for Women
Here’s what makes our Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women© certification different.
Our training isn’t just about gaining accreditation and credentials - it’s a profound embodiedjourney to wholeness for women who want to support others with depth, compassion, and integrity. This is for those who seek true alignment, not just in their work, but in their lives too.
In this training we go beyond traditional coaching models, integrating somatic wisdom, trauma awareness, feminine embodiment and embodied leadership to create truly transformational experiences that lead to embodied wisdom. Every woman who joins our program becomes part of this quiet movement that is founded on self-compassion, nervous system regulation and resilience, embracing cyclical nature of our lives and Life Seasons, and deep connection with self and others.
The essence of our work is based on trust, integrity, honouring our lived experience, and deep commitment to walking your talk, creating safe spaces for healing and wholeness in a way in which we live, love, work, lead and support others.
If you're looking for an interactive and practical, nervous system-friendly training that transforms you and helps you embody deep self-trust and confidence as much as it equips you to guide others, this is the path for you.
To create a safe container and a healing community where everybody can learn and grow we currently accept only up to TWENTY women per cohort. This is not one of those courses where you are one of hundreds of participants. We want to honour your presence and offer you the right support, and create a safe space for profound growth and embodied learning.
And in addition unlike other certifications, you will continue having access to our learning platform with all the materials and with monthly Q&A Mentoring Sessions - meaning you can take your time, deepen your practice, and complete your accreditation with ACCPH and YA UK when you are ready.
This is not just another training to attend and complete - it’s a journey of deep transformation that will help you step into your fullest, most embodied self as a leader, teacher and guide for others.

Trauma-informed Somatic Training
3 Reasons why trauma-informed somatic training should not be an add-on
Our Values
The principles that guide everything we do at the Academy
Safety First
We create "safe enough" spaces for exploration, learning, growth, and healing. We honour the connections that form in our shared circles.
Embodied Listening
We connect with our inner felt experience to understand and meet our needs in an empowered way.
Integrity & Wholeness
We prioritise a rested, grounded way of being, a regulated nervous system, and an integrative approach. All parts are welcome here.
Collaboration Over Competition
Our power comes not from "being the best" but from being one of the voices in the conversation.
Kindness & Compassion
We cultivate kindness in relationships with ourselves and others, and maintain clear compassionate boundaries.
Embodied Feminine Leadership
We embrace our responsibility as leaders who understand the impact we want to make for the benefit of all.
What Our Students Say
"This course has been a game-changer. It has given me clarity, helped me find my voice, and supported me in stepping into my work with greater confidence. The curriculum is brilliantly designed — everything falls into place like a well-crafted puzzle."
Sarka Soudkova
"The training has acted as an olive branch to parts of myself I had lost connection with. As you are held within the expanse of growth, the Academy encourages a trust in the process that is deeply embodied."
Serina Leech
"I joined because I felt an urge to understand trauma in depth and empower women. This training has opened doors I didn't see before and each day I get more and more clarity on this path."
