January 2026 Thrive in Body Alliance

Expressive Arts Healing Facilitator Training

A 6-month fully online facilitator training for creatives who desire to step into embodied leadership & guide others through the healing power of expressive arts

Welcome to 'Thrive in Body Alliance' Expressive Arts:

 

This is not a training about being a better artist. It is a journey into becoming a more attuned, embodied, and creative facilitator of healing.

We don’t see creative expression as a product to be perfected, but as a language of the soul—a "third thing in the room" that can safely hold our most tender stories. Our methodology is a gentle archeological dig, using creative expression to uncover the wisdom that already lives within you and your future clients.

Our first and most important principle is this: We move at the speed of safety.

We use a process of titration—offering one drop of awareness, one drop of movement, one drop of creative expression at a time. We pause. We notice. We allow the system to integrate. This is how we build the capacity for profound, lasting healing without overwhelm.

I’m not the same person I was at the beginning. I’m a better version of myself. I’ll be forever grateful I followed my instincts and signed up for this program

— Andrea, Past Sensual Somatic® Trainee

It's what changed the growth journey for me... I was able to grow/heal more in 6 months than I had in many years prior. I knew I needed to bring this magic to the women that I work with.

— Alicia, Past Sensual Somatic® Trainee

I feel very confident having the correct terms for each movement we practiced and beautiful techniques we learned. There are also so much content and so many ways to learn and keep on exploring.

— Paula, Past Sensual Somatic® Trainee

I now feel a new safety in my own body that I don't feel I can even put words to. I am beyond excited but also prepared to weave this work into my business.

— Alisha, Past Sensual Somatic® Trainee

Do You Feel It Too? The Medicine Living in Your Creative Practice?

Maybe you're a painter who has watched your own trauma transform on canvas, stroke by healing stroke.

Perhaps you're a dancer who knows that certain movements can unlock what years of talking couldn't touch.

You might be a poet whose words have been a lifeline—for yourself and for others who have read them.

Or a musician who has felt the vibration of sound literally reorganize something deep in your nervous system.

 

You already know that creative expression is medicine. You've felt it in your own body, seen it in your own work.

You sense stories in texture and color, feel emotions as movement and rhythm, and know that sometimes a single brushstroke or dance gesture can say what a thousand therapy sessions cannot.

But maybe you've been searching for a way to hold this knowing professionally. To create containers where others can access this same healing magic you've discovered in your own creative practice.

You've looked at traditional therapy trainings that feel too clinical, too removed from the raw, transformative power of making art. You've explored creative workshops that feel inspiring but lack the trauma-informed depth needed to safely hold someone's deepest stories.

 

What if there was a different way? A training that honored both your creative gifts and your calling to facilitate healing?

A space that understood that your paintbrush, your pen, your voice, your body in motion—these aren't just tools for self-expression, but instruments of profound transformation?

A Space Designed for Deep Learning & Connection

FORMAT: A 6-month, fully online training with a mix of live calls, pre-recorded materials, and community support.

LIVE CALLS: Our live sessions will be held Every Sunday from 9-11 AM EST.

FIRST SESSION: Our journey together begins on January 11th, 2026.

ATTENDANCE: Live attendance is encouraged but not mandatory for certification. All calls will be recorded, and with dedicated support group check-ins and other ways to connect virtually, you can have a deeply rich experience on your own schedule.

The Shape of Our 6-Month Journey

Our curriculum is a gentle, 3-phase progression designed to take you from personal embodiment to professional integration.

Phase 1: Excavation (Months 1-2) Our journey begins with you. This phase is dedicated to deepening your own Body Alliance, experiencing our core methodologies from the inside out, and building the sacred foundation of self-trust from which authentic facilitation is born.

Phase 2: Discovery (Months 3-4) With your foundation in place, we shift to the art of holding space. You will learn to facilitate across our core modalities—somatic movement, expressive writing, visual arts, and voice work—practicing in a supportive, supervised container with your peers.

Phase 3: Integration (Months 5-6) Our journey culminates in bringing this work into the world. Through supervised practice and ongoing mentorship, you will learn to weave these methodologies into your own unique offerings, feeling confident and ready to share your gifts.

Is This Path Calling to You?

This training is for the artists, the healers, the poets, and the practitioners. It has less to do with your resume and everything to do with the resonance you feel reading these words.

  • Therapists, Coaches, and Practitioners who want to integrate body-based creative tools into their work.
  • Yogis, Dancers, and Movement Guides who know the body holds stories that words alone cannot reach.
  • Artists, Poets, and Creative Souls who feel a deep longing to guide others into their own creative wellspring.
  • Community Workers and Spiritual Space Holders seeking trauma-informed ways to foster connection and healing.
  • Survivors who have walked their own healing path and feel called to facilitate spaces for others.
