Welcome to
Soma Mind
Australia’s dedicated platform for
Somatic Trauma Trainings and Events in Australia
Soma σῶμα ~ From the Greek, meaning the ‘ living body’. Referring not to the body as an object, but to the body as lived, felt, experienced and known from within.
Somatic Trainings, Workshops & Events
Soma Mind is Australia’s first dedicated platform for somatic, body-oriented professional development, curating trainings, workshops and events focused on body-based approaches to working with trauma and nervous system regulation.
We bring together high quality Australian and international somatic educators, offering learning experiences designed to support professionals seeking to integrate trauma informed body-based approaches into their practice.
Focusing exclusively on somatic and body-oriented events, Soma Mind provides a national platform for continuing professional development across therapeutic, body-based, and movement-informed disciplines.
Knowledge in somatic practice is felt, enacted
& relational, not merely conceptual.
You’ll Find Professional Development Focused on:
Somatic therapy and body-oriented approaches
Effective trauma work requires both conceptual understanding and embodied skill. This means we need knowledge as well as practical skills that support the integration of σῶμα (Soma) + μυαλό (Mind).
The workshops, events, and professional trainings featured on Soma Mind are led by somatic educators and clinicians in the field somatic and body-oriented traditions in trauma treatment and embodied practice. They often include education on trauma-informed yoga and movement, dance, expressive therapies, neuroaffective and intentional touch approaches, trauma-informed breath-work, and advanced somatic psychotherapy topics.
We also host workshops and events with educators that focus on more advanced clinical skills training in somatic psychotherapy. This includes those that draw on or expand sensorimotor psychotherapy, somatic experiencing and other related bottom-up, neurobiologically informed models that emphasise regulation, attachment, and embodied meaning-making.
This integrated focus supports psychotherapists, counsellors, psychologists, body workers, yoga therapists, and allied health professionals who are seeking to deepen their skills and capacity to work with trauma through both mindful inquiry and embodied intervention. Whether you are an early career practitioner or experienced clinician, we offer access to somatic professional development that respects clinical responsibility, depth of practice, and ongoing learning
Somatic Events For
Trauma-Informed Practice
Soma Mind features somatic trainings, workshops, and professional development events designed for practitioners working with trauma across clinical, therapeutic, and body-based contexts.
This includes psychotherapists, counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists, allied health professionals, as well as body workers, yoga therapists, and movement practitioners seeking somatic education grounded in nervous system–informed practice.
For Somatic Trainers
& Educators
Soma Mind invites experienced somatic practitioners and educators to apply to list their somatic workshop or event to our national audience of professionals.
The events featured on our platform are selected for their clinical integrity, ethical grounding, and coherence with contemporary somatic trauma theory.
We prioritise educators and clinicians whose work is grounded in neurobiology, attachment research, and embodied clinical practice, and who demonstrate respect for safety, consent, cultural humility, and nervous system regulation.
Our role is not to define a single method, but to hold a rigorous and relational field in which diverse somatic lineages can be explored, taught, and integrated in ways that genuinely support healing and professional development.
