JOIN US TODAY

A 9-month online training - where you learn and master a proven Coaching and Teaching Method, and join our community for a Transformational Journey - rooted in depth, Feminine Embodiment, Empowerment and Leadership, access Mentorship and create your own unique Coaching Course.

Step into your role as a confident, embodied female practitioner rooted in integrity and deep trust.
This is not about chasing industry status or gimmicky titles - it’s about becoming a clear, compassionate, and skillful guide for real healing. Become a woman who leads with courage, care, and embodied wisdom.

Experience powerful results, even in one session - without bypassing or burnout.
Whether you’re guiding a client through emotional pain, nervous system overwhelm, or subtle body-based integration, this approach helps people reconnect with what’s most essential: their embodied wholeness.

Bring your unique voice, lived experience, and intuitive gifts into the work.
This isn’t a cookie-cutter method. You’ll be supported to shape and evolve your own way of working, combining and integrating what you learn here with your existing skills, passions, and purpose.

Support clients to experience profound shifts - in safe, spacious, and deeply attuned ways.
You’ll learn to listen with your whole body, respond from your centre, and create safe containers where lasting transformation becomes possible - without pushing or overriding any needs.

Integrate neuroscience, somatics, and soulful practice into a coherent, powerful method.
This training bridges science and soul. You’ll understand trauma and healing through the NS science and our unique framework, integrating Soma, Psyche and Soul for deep embodied transformation.

Heal from the inside out - yourself and your clients - through Presence, embodiment, and heart-led connection.
You’ll leave with more than tools and techniques. You’ll be changed by the work, and carry forward the capacity to hold space for others in ways that are nourishing, boundaried, and sustainable.

You’ve always felt a quiet, steady knowing in your bones - that you’re here to contribute something meaningful.
Something that brings deep healing, instead of harm.

You know it’s about connection, not performance. It’s something rooted in love, integrity, and embodied change.

You might not have always known the how.
You’ve had moments of doubt if you can do it, and wondering if it’s too late or if you’re enough.
But that inner call - to be of service, to make a real difference in people’s lives - has never left you.

You’ve already done so much inner work.
You’ve supported others with compassion and care.
You carry wisdom from your lived experience, your practice, and your path.

Now, you’re ready to go deeper.
To truly own your role as a trauma-informed, somatic guide and practitioner.
To walk forward in a way that feels aligned with your values,
and grounded in a method that honours both your humanity and your gifts.

This is the next step on your journey -
towards sustainable, heart-led impact that ripples out from the inside out.

This training will take you on a journey of Returning to Embodied Feminine Wholeness – and will deeply impact all women you work with and support, and will profoundly change you as a woman and a female practitioner.

Trauma is very ‘trendy’ right now. Everybody is talking about it. And you might have read some books or even attended some workshops or training.

But the reality is that reading some books or doing a little training is not going to give you the kind of understanding and skills that are needed for effective transformational and healing work.

The reality is that trauma and somatic education and skills are necessary for any practitioner working with clients – in 1-2-1 and group settings – and wanting to offer a safe and inclusive container. This is not a ‘nice-to-have’ optional approach but a complete necessity for our work.

In addition, working in an integrated way and learning somatic practices for nervous system regulation and body-focused coaching approach allows us to support our clients on a much deeper level. The kind of level that is wholly transformational and changes the way you work with and support your clients and changes your life and business forever.

“As a matter of fact, I see the repression of the feminine principle as the biggest problem on the planet, and since the planet has become a global village, power alone is just not going to work any more.”

-Marion Woodman

What you will learn in this training

This online training is a Journey of Embodied Feminine Empowerement + Leadership

Over nine immersive months you’ll weave together body, mind and spirit practices that turn theory and knowledge into lived and embodied wisdom. By the time you graduate you won’t just “know more” - you’ll become the guide women seek when they’re ready to heal, root and rise, and lead from within.

1 | Learn and Master the Proven Method: the Integrated Soma-Psyche-Soul Coaching Model©

Build rock-solid confidence in our signature, holistic methodology, born from over 25 years of grounded practice, client work, and feminine wisdom. You’ll learn to read the language of the body, track emotional patterns in the psyche and invite soul-level meaning so every session creates a safe environment with depth - based not just in theory but in real practical application and collaboration with your clients.

2 | Work with the Body: Somatic Movement & Fascia Release

Discover gentle, science-backed movement sequences that dissolve survival tension stored in fascia. Your clients will learn how to be more present and connected - from the very first session - because they are able to finally experience what “regulated” actually feels like in their body and whole being.

3 | Trauma-Informed Science and Approach - Made Practical

We learn about Polyvagal Theory, Nervous System Mapping and Tracking, stress neuro-biology, hormonal impacts, dissociation and PTSD, Epigenetics. We translate theory and research into easy frameworks and tools so you can explain why a technique works and how to tailor it to each woman’s capacity and needs, within her Window of Tolerance. Understand Titration and ‘baby steps’ for sustainable healing and growth.

4 | Tender & Fierce Self-Compassion & Post-Traumatic Growth

Guide women to reclaim power after betrayal, narcissistic abuse or systemic oppression. Through evidence-based practices you’ll help them turn wounds into wisdom, spot red flags and power dynamics, and choose to create boundaries based on their own needs and terms.

5 | The Life Seasons of Womanhood

We take into consideration the Life stage when coaching a woman. I will teach you to Coach with nuance through menstruation, motherhood, child-lessness, peri-menopause and menopause. By honouring Life Seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn (Second Spring) and Winter, you’ll contextualise symptoms, celebrate gifts and craft season-specific rituals that make every stage feel sacred rather than “wrong.”

6 | Decode Feminine Archetypes & Shadow Work

I will teach you to move beyond Archetypes of Maiden, Mother, Queen and Crone. You’ll map cultural archetypes - even the messy ones like Huntress or “Whore” - then learn to integrate their shadows so your clients stop rejecting parts of themselves and step into an empowered, whole identity.

7 | Embrace Embodied Feminine Leadership

We will explore the Heroine’s Journey as a map for spiritual growth. You will learn to balance inner feminine flow with grounded masculine structure. You’ll practise courageous visibility, value-based pricing and boundary-setting so you can model the leadership your community needs.

8 | Holding Sacred Space: Embodied Wisdom Circles

From opening rituals to energetic closure, you’ll master the art of group facilitation. Leave knowing exactly how to generate psychological safety, attune to group needs and nervous systems, and hold space for profound collective insights and breakthroughs.

9 | The Language of Somatic Safety

Learn trauma-informed, invitational, choice-based language that fosters a sense of agency and calms the nervous system. Scripts, prompts and consent-based cues are baked into every module so you will never have to second-guess your words.

11 | Create Your Own Course with Daily Rituals & Client Resources

CREATE YOUR OWN COURSE - integrating the material from this training with your own approach - and get known for your expertise. Create your toolbox with somatic and holistic practices clients can do in five minutes a day: somatic check-ins, nervous system mapping and tracking, understanding and meeting your needs in an empowered ways, breath patterns, sensory anchors, self-touch and holding, somatic journaling prompts and more. Consistent small wins create the big before-and-after stories you’ll be proud to share.

10 | Learn Embodied Listening (Focusing) & Parts Work

Blend Focusing and the IFS Model to meet all your inner parts with compassion. Your sessions become a homecoming - where each internal voice is heard, the body feels met and sustainable regulation becomes possible.

At the end of the training you will be able to:

  • Teach Somatic Movement – in an intuitive way and with trauma-informed approach

  • Teach Somatic Meditation for healing and growth – with trauma-informed approach

  • Teach various Somatic practices for nervous system regulation and to grow somatic awareness

  • Coach female clients using my Soma-Psyche-Soul Coaching Model©

  • Confidently lead your female students/clients through various body-focused practices towards more empowerment and deep inner self-trust

  • Confidently use trauma-informed language and communication in somatic coaching and teaching sessions and guide women towards more stability and nervous system regulation

  • Take care of yourself when working with women experiencing trauma and trauma symptoms like stress, anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, chronic conditions and disassociation

  • Use trauma-informed somatic practices for self-regulation, to reflect on your own journey and continue your growth as a somatic practitioner

  • “As a participant in the Autumn cohort of Trauma-Informed Somatic Teacher and Coach for Women, I feel deeply grateful for this transformative journey. Over the years, I have immersed myself in various modalities - I’ve been teaching yoga for 13 years, facilitating trauma-sensitive yoga for seven, and am also a Somatic Experiencing practitioner. Yet, despite my experience, I felt something was missing. I struggled to find a cohesive way to bring everything together in a way that truly resonated with me.

    This course has been a game-changer. It has given me clarity, helped me find my voice, and supported me in developing a nervous-system-friendly approach - not only for my clients but also for myself. The training provides a safe and nourishing container where I feel seen, heard, and supported in my challenges and growth. Aneta truly walks her talk, holding space with deep wisdom, kindness, and compassion.

    The curriculum is brilliantly designed - everything falls into place like a well-crafted puzzle. It’s practical, hands-on, and deeply integrative. More than just a course, it’s a transformational process. I am excited to witness how everything is coming together, and I feel an increasing sense of clarity and confidence in how I want to serve my clients in a way that is both authentic and aligned with the greater vision of my life.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Aneta’s flagship training to all female practitioners seeking to find their voice in the trauma-informed and somatic realms.”

    - Sarka Soudkova

  • “I joined the 160 hour Trauma-informed Somatic Teacher&Coach for Women Training in October 2024 (Cohort 4) at the last minute and it was the best decision I have made in my career! I am about half way through the course now and it has not only already made a big difference in my personal life through the practices I do each day from the course, but also in the work I do. My business has already benefitted massively - I am working fewer hours but earning more as I work in a more nervous system friendly way and in a way that makes me more present for my students. I have found more spaciousness in my life and brought a stop to my burn out cycles! I have also found the course so inspiring, bringing new ideas and ways of working to my business. The group of women on the course provides an amazing support network and Aneta's way of teaching is just wonderful. The course is really well designed and run by someone who really walks their talk. I would recommend this course to all women who want to not only do it for their personal development, but also to become a coach that can really make a difference in women's lives.”

    - Anja Torikka

ABOUT THIS TRAUMA-INFORMED SOMATIC TEACHER & COACH FOR WOMEN© TRAINING CERTIFICATION

This Trauma-informed Somatic Teacher & Coach© for Women Certification Training is a trauma-informed and experiential training for Coaches, Healers, Yoga Teachers, Therapists, Movement Teachers, Bodyworkers, Complementary Workers, and other professionals who want to use somatic & embodied wisdom practices in their work with women.

This exploration of somatics while working with and supporting women in a foundational approach to embodied practice and teaching – and it will allow you to take your female students/clients deeper into experiencing inner stability, embodied connection, self-regulation, empowerment and purpose.

This 9-month, 160-hour certification is held fully online (all sessions are in our private Zoom room), and each cohort is intentionally kept small, with no more than 24 women. This isn’t the kind of training where you get lost in a crowd of hundreds – it’s a deeply interactive journey where you’ll truly get to know the other women walking alongside you. Together we create a safe, nourishing space where you can show up as yourself, learn and heal through connection, and feel held and supported as you grow into your role as a trauma-informed somatic teacher and coach.

Many women who join this certification find that the practices naturally support their own personal healing and growth. The embodied tools, community connection, and trauma-informed approach can feel deeply nourishing and transformative. At the same time, it’s important to remember that this training is first and foremost a professional certification designed to equip you as a practitioner, teacher, or coach. It is not a substitute for therapy or individual trauma treatment.

And here’s something I really want you to know: you do not need to be “fully healed” or have it all figured out before you join. In fact, your lived experience - with all its beauty and its messiness - can become part of the unique gift you bring as a practitioner. What matters is that you are ready to learn, grow, and show up with honesty, compassion, and a willingness to practice. If you are currently in a very tender place, you may wish to have therapeutic support alongside your studies, so that you can receive the training as fully and safely as possible.

Distribution of the 160 hours within the training:

Over 90 hours of contact time in
live online sessions including educational lectures, group discussions and practice with Aneta and guest trainers

50 + hours of study, reading, assignments, buddy + small mentoring pods sessions, and self-practice at home and practice with others

Nine Embodied Wisdom Circles
– where we come together to practice, integrated and hold space for each other

  • “The training has acted as an olive branch to parts of myself l had lost connection with. I admire the way Aneta allows time for processing and integration; as individuals we are able to access learning in alignment with our own personal capacity and I love that we are invited to re-visit and re-immerse in our sessions in our own time as we evolve as practitioners and upon or own pathways of personal healing.

    As you are held within the expanse of growth, the Golden Mandala Somatic Coach Academy© encourages the awakening of curiosity from the dormancy of the unknown within a space of collective safety and I have felt thoroughly supported.

    I would recommend Aneta’s Trauma-Informed Somatic Teachings to those seeking to become embodied teachers and coaches, yoga practitioners, holders of spaces in the community & therapeutic settings alongside those feeling the desire to obtain tools of possibility aiding them to harness a deepened understanding for their own healing”
    - Serina Leech

  • “I am so grateful for having decided to attend this training! I joined this training because I felt an urge to understand more in depth the broad subject of how trauma works, learn more about somatic movement and definitely because, since I am a yoga instructor – I would love to use this training to help and empower women to become their best version of themselves. I felt that this training will open doors I didn’t see before and I am so happy to say that each day I get more and more clarity on this path.

    First of all, I have not been wrong in where Aneta is concerned. She does own her knowledge, in an authentic and inspiring way. Adding to that, her experience has really motivated me to want more from myself and what I could bring to the world. I am so grateful for her knowledge, her clarity and creating the space – so that we can learn, heal and become ourselves – embodied somatic coaches and teachers.

    It has been a truly transformative journey for me, and I can honestly say that I feel more empowered, more present with whatever is there, more emotionally mature and resourceful than before. Besides, it has been a great opportunity to learn from the other practitioners and support each other.

    Overall, I would definitely recommend this training to anybody that has experienced trauma in a way or another, but not only. Anyone that is interested in growing, in becoming a more embodied, compassionate human being. Thank you Aneta!”

  • “I joined Aneta’s course to be a Trauma Informed Somatic Coach for Women because I feel I have more to give than just being a yoga teacher. I have always strived to help others to thrive in their lives but there is that extra that I can add to my work. I was looking for a course that can help me include a more therapeutic approach to my sessions with clients and I found it with Aneta.

    The course had not been a disappointment! Aneta is very knowledgeable in her field and delivers the course in a compassionate way. I find Aneta very relatable and easy to connect with. She has a nice way about her and the course is full of really interesting content. I particularly enjoyed learning about theories attached to working with the body, such as the Internal Family Systems approach. The course has changed me in a way I did not expect. By taking up a regular daily practice of checking in with myself, I am aware of what I do and do not want in my life. As a result, my boundary setting has become a lot stronger, and I feel much more confident and empowered. I know which direction I want to go in moving forward which is something that was a grey area before I started the course. That is both within my personal life and in my business.

    I recommend this course to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge and bring a more felt sense into their business or lives. Whether you choose the course for your personal development or as a business move. The Trauma Informed Somatic Coach & Teacher for Women course will develop you into a person who understands themselves and others on a different level because it teaches you to look at all aspects of a person – body, psyche and soul. If you are reading this you probably want to do the course so I would say just dive in and sign up. You definitely won’t regret it!”
    – Jade Wallace

  • “The reason I joined the course was because I’m a yoga instructor of 10 years and I was searching for a course that complimented my yoga knowledge, that could support me with my own understanding of emotional resilience and trauma recovery and ultimately create a safe space for my students. I felt that there was more necessary training I needed than what I received from my yoga studying. For example, I was volunteering at a suicide prevention clinic, and I didn’t feel I had enough resource to support the guests and I needed more understanding of trauma-informed approach.

    As soon as I saw Aneta’s content and what she was sharing I knew I wanted to study with her. And it has been the best decision. The course runs over 10 months, which gives me time to absorb all the content, to self-study, learn how to hold space for myself and others, and become the Coach I want to be for my students and clients.

    The course has been exactly what I was looking for. I am managing to absorb the content around work and being a single mother as it is spaced out and well delivered. I was worried I would not be able to study but I love studying with Aneta. The course is so well planned and all of content is perfectly delivered, and rich in its depth and breadth of trauma-informed approach, and somatic coaching and practices. The way that Aneta sets it all out is accessible, and thorough. Aneta creates a safe container to learn and for us to show up to learn as students and facilitators.”

  • “I joined Aneta’s 160hr trauma-informed somatic teacher and coach for women training because I wanted to learn more about working with women and invite somatic coaching into my work. I had been looking at other coaching trainings but a lot of them didn’t appeal to me – I liked that Aneta’s training is more comprehensive and includes a trauma-informed and somatic approach.

    I was initially on the fence about joining (regarding timing and commitment), but I am so glad that I did. I have already learnt so much – for my own personal development and understanding of how I can support myself as well as my clients.

    The course covers so much interesting and deeply transformative material as well as time in-between modules to integrate what we have learnt.

    I really love that there is space for practical and personal exploration - learning practices that we can implement for ourselves and with our clients, as well as space to inquire and reflect about our own experiences.

    I previously joined other trainings with Aneta as well as had personal and business coaching with her and I absolutely love her supportive approach – creating a safe space, where we can learn, explore and where we can share our experiences – all based on invitation and meeting our own needs.

    I would recommend this training to anyone who works/ or would like to work with women and would like to deepen their understanding on supporting other women (as well as yourself) with a more wholesome trauma-informed, somatic approach.”

  • “Joining Aneta's 160hr training to become a trauma-informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for women is the best decision I've made in a long time, both personally and professionally. I'd already been working with Aneta on business coaching and having 1-1 sessions, and I love her approach to coaching, running a business and making sure we are truly living what we teach. Even though we are learning to work with others, Aneta instils in us that we have to do the work ourselves to be able to support them, but it's done with so much understanding and compassion for who we are as individuals and the acknowledgment that our lives can be up and down.

    Aneta has created a friendly, open space where we can talk about what we're going through and how the course is unfolding for each of us, get the support we need, with the reminder to come back to ourselves and our practices, because they do help!

    Over the last 3 months, I've felt a lot more growth and learning within myself. I'm a qualified Yoga Teacher but I am really drawn to Somatics, the nervous system and using the body to heal pain and trauma. It has been incredibly eye opening when I think of my own experiences and journey, as well as observing the people in my life. Although I love guiding Yoga, I don't feel as connected to it from a teacher point of view, as I do with this work. I've been working with older adults and people with health conditions for a few years now and the way I support people is very much aligned with Somatics. Since I started introducing Somatics into my work, I've noticed big shifts in my clients, physically, emotionally and mentally, helping to reduce chronic pain, improve balance, make them feel more confident and at ease in their bodies, and introducing movement when there has been years of resistance. I've witnessed mindset shifts that has meant some big changes in their lives and expressing their needs openly for the first time in years. Somatics feels really aligned with how I want to live my life, how I want to show up and run my business and work with others. I love how open, invitational, expressive and intuitive it can be; a way to access joy and creativity, whilst finding tools for inner resourcing.

    It makes me excited to dive deeper and share this with others. Everything Aneta has put into the course so far, has lit me up and made me want to learn more. Aneta is so passionate about what she does and this really comes through in the course content. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys learning about the intricacies of the human body (soma), mind (pysche) and soul on a deeper level, and how this can support people who are disconnected from themselves, whilst also supporting yourself; I have never been on a course that encourages so much of your own practice to self-awareness and self-healing. For this I am incredibly grateful!”

I feel very passionate about sharing this knowledge and wisdom because I know how much of a difference it can make to our life, confidence and the quality of our teaching. I’ve been working with trauma and its impact on individuals, families and communities for 25 years in various settings, including 16 years front-line in Social Care where I worked with trauma, crisis intervention, mental health, addiction, DV, and child protection issues in various settings in London and Kent, and where I later trained and supervised front-line workers to engage and support vulnerable individuals and families.

I’ve been on my own journey of healing for the past 30 years, practicing yoga, mindfulness and somatics, and running my own business with coaching and mentoring private clients and other practitioners, teaching mindful and embodied yoga, meditation and mindfulness, embodiment and somatics for over 14 years.

Over last three decades I trained in various modalities including Mindfulness yoga and meditation, Mindfulness and Yoga for Pain, Slow Embodied Yoga, Yin/Insight Yoga, Psychology and Person-Centred Counselling, Master NLP and NLP for Health and Wellbeing, Life and Wellness Coaching, Breathwork, Energy Healing and Reiki Master, Somatics and Embodiment Coaching, Bodywork and Thai Yoga Massage therapy.

I also trained as Embodiment/Somatic Coach, BSE – Become Safely Embodied Practitioner, and Focusing (Embodied Listening) Practitioner, and Somatic Movement teacher. I also completed many Mental Health and trauma-informed trainings including Transcending Sexual Trauma through Yoga.

I’m currently training to become a certified and ICF and CPD accredited Somatic and Narcissistic Abuse Trauma-informed Coach, and certified in Trauma-informed Positive Psychology Coaching Method.

I bring all of that experience into my work with all my students and clients (mostly women), creating an integrative approach – a unique mix of bio-psycho-social & spiritual approach that is client-led, compassionate and trauma-informed.
