“It seems hyperbolic to say that my life has changed from soma school, but it truly has. I've been doing some intense inner work the past couple years, and while I've made a lot of changes through that work, doing soma school just put so much of that into perspective and I have so much more understanding for it. And I've been able to make so much more growth in that short time period than the past couple years. The past work I've been doing feels so surface level compared to soma school. But because of soma school, those surface level changes feel so much easier now.” - Soma School Student
“I have more compassion. More understanding. I have more tools, but I'm also not trying to fix anything. That might be one of the biggest takeaways. Before soma school, I had a revelation of 'what if there's nothing wrong with me'. And that was huge for me. But after soma school I feel it. You gave an example early on about new year's resolutions and why they fail, if our body/nervous system isn't ready for changes even if they are supposed to be positive. And while I may have known there was nothing wrong with me, now I feel it. And that is a world of difference. And while there's always room to grow and things to work through, there's no rush. There's so much gratitude for myself. The past versions of me. Where there might have been shame or guilt around how I went through life before, now there's gratitude and love. I'm leading with my body, checking in with her more and she's always right. Even if it doesn't make sense. It's gotten easier to make decisions from an embodied place and place value and truth there instead of overruling them because a different decision is something I think I 'should' do or seems more logical. I feel more whole, with all the parts of myself feeling seen. “ Liv

Soma School is a 10-week online immersion and certifcation program centered around healing your nervous system so you can come home to your body through somatics. We hold trauma and dysregulation in our body that, once digested opens up space for our personal growth and expansion to take shape. Mainstream somatics discludes the unique needs of the female nervous system. Soma School is here to revolutionize this pattern in our approach to healing trauma. We will meet each week on Saturdays 11-1pm cst on zoom. All recordings will be available in the Soma School portal 24 hours after each class
Soma school integrates nervous system healing with various topics related to the female experience including:
-pelvic health, pelvic embodiment, womb healing
-ancestral trauma healing
-pleasure
- the renegotiation of trauma
-somatic attachment
-somatic movement and practices
-Guest teachers, topics and extra weekly somatic movement/dance classes

Additional Info:
Our body holds the map to our healing, and gaining fluency in the language of your soma, your nervous system, empowers you at a root-cause level to expand your life and level up your capacity.
When we heal in community we nourish our bodies with coregulatory power that amplifies our ability to heal. We are often taught that it’s all up to us to make the healing happen as individuals when actually, our bodies are starved for the essential ingredient of coregulation, or the impact of other nervous systems. Women heal through tending and befriending, this coregulation is especially vital to our ability to thrive.
Soma school is as much about unlearning as it is about learning, as we will spend time uprooting what we’ve internalized that holds us back from becoming embodied beings.
Our body, our nervous system, drives our thoughts, our emotions, and choices. When we become embodied we gain the the ability to engage with our default patterns versus letting them control us.
“Soma School really filled in gaps for me in my own awareness of my body and in my sessions with my clients. I used to get regular nervous system dysregulation and never knew what it was or how to change it. Soma School has educated me and given me practices to really change this. I'm having so much more peace in my body. Veronica really embodies what she is teaching and just being in her presence calmed and healed my nervous system. Thank you Veronica and Soma School.”- Amy
