Training

Somatic Tapping& offers three types of training:

  • A comprehensive training program on somatic tapping, a somatic technique that helps clients reduce negative symptoms and increase positive outcomes.
  • Individual classes to increase cultural competency on a variety of esoteric traditions and topics.
  • Individual classes on techniques or approaches. Evidence-based approaches will be clearly identified with associated continuing education hours. Some of the approaches will not have continuing education hours available for them.

Online asynchronous and live Zoom trainings offer a mix for those who want to learn on their own or who want to be in a group with practice sessions and offer the ability for participants to ask questions.

If I do not attend the live Zoom class, I am forfeiting any refund and will have only one opportunity to transfer to a later date. Refund requests must be made at least two weeks before the start of the training, or only a portion of the tuition will be reimbursed. All transfer requests will incur a small administrative fee of $50.
