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 an accreditation and credentials - it’s a profound embodied journey 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, 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 rest and cycles, and deep connection with self and others.
The essence of our work is based on trust, integrity, 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 accept only TWENTY students 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.

It took a long breath. And replied, I’ve been waiting my whole life for this.”

Trauma-informed Somatic Training
3 Reasons why trauma-informed somatic training should not be an add-on
Our ACADEMY Core Values are
Safety First
We always start with creating ‘safe enough’ spaces for all of us to explore, learn, grow and heal. We honour the connections that happen in our many shared circles.
Collaboration Over Competition
We choose collaboration over competition in our work and understand that our positive impact and power comes not from ‘being the best’ but from being ‘one of the voices’ in the conversation.
Kindness and Compassion
We consciously choose to cultivate kindness and compassion in relationships with ourselves and others, and cultivate clear compassionate boundaries.
Simplicity and Cycles
We embrace a natural way of living in attunement with Nature and Life, and by honouring our needs and inner rhythms that lead to a deeper sense of embodiment.
Shared Human Experience
We recognise that we are all just having a human experience, often messy and imperfect, and bring curiosity, connection, deep listening and playfulness into our interactions.
Integrity and Wholeness
We prioritise our sense of integrity and wholeness that comes from a rested, stable and grounded way of being, and a regulated nervous system and physiology. All parts are welcome here.
Embodied Listening
We take regular time to connect with our inner felt experience by practicing Embodied Listening to help us understand our needs and meet them in an empowered way.
Embodied Feminine Leadership
We fully embrace our responsibility and role as Embodied Feminine Leaders, understanding the impact we want to make for the benefit of all.
