Introduction to Somatic Therapy: 6-CE Training
Date: May 9, 2025
Time: 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM
Location: Environmental Education Center
190 Lord Stirling Rd, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920
Join us for an immersive 6-CE training designed to deepen your understanding of somatic therapy and how to integrate body-based healing into your therapeutic practice. This hands-on training will introduce core somatic concepts, helping you enhance client regulation, emotional resilience, and overall well-being through a holistic mind-body approach.
What You’ll Learn
Foundations of Somatic Therapy – Explore how somatic therapy complements traditional talk therapy, providing a body-centered approach to healing.
Practical Techniques – Learn nervous system regulation methods and somatic interventions to help clients reconnect with their bodies safely.
Recognizing Somatic Patterns – Identify body cues, tension, and stored trauma to guide clients toward deeper processing and healing.
Integrative Skills – Build confidence in blending somatic therapy with other therapeutic modalities for a more comprehensive and effective approach.
Why Attend?
This training is experiential, meaning you won’t just learn the concepts—you’ll feel them in action. By the end of the day, you’ll have practical, immediately useful tools to integrate into your work. And this is just the beginning—somatic therapy is a lifelong practice, and we’re excited to continue this journey with you.
Our Setting
We’ll be gathering at the Environmental Education Center in Basking Ridge, NJ, a beautiful, nature-rich space nestled on 425 acres of the Great Swamp Basin. Surrounded by forests, rivers, marshes, and meadows, this setting offers a peaceful and grounding environment to support your learning and integration.
I look forward to sharing this experience with you as we explore the profound impact of somatic therapy together.

Reviews of the POM Method Trauma Training:
“Wonderful training — would do again and again! Amazing discussions and connections within the group! I would encourage anyone to participate in this training. Will be information and knowledge I know I will reflect back on often and implement within my own experiences as well as the people that I hold space for. Thank you Kris!”
“Such an incredible training that really teaches a comprehensive way to address and treat trauma in a therapeutic space. All the examples were insightful and explanations were thorough. The group learning and sharing dynamic really aided in digesting the material as well. Thank you so much Kris!!!!”
“Kris really put her heart into this training, it was fantastic! I’m looking at my Daily interactions via life and work and I never knew how they couldn’t in together the way they do, this training has given me so much food for thought.”
“The electronic and paper copy of all the materials is extremely helpful. There is a lot of information and having the opportunity to go back and review each piece again and again by using these tools is perfect. It also allows us to use these tools (worksheet/handouts) for professional development and personal growth. Thank you!!”
“There is practically nothing I would add. Kris was very knowledgeable, helpful and an amazing instructor. She was so genuine and skillful in how she was able to answer my questions and integrate ideas and to meet everyone where they were, no matter their experience level.”
“I learned an unbelievable amount and can easily see myself continue to return to this content easily for the next decade of my practice.”
“I am SO grateful that I got to participate in this course. The concepts I learned were extremely relevant and helpful to my practice as a therapist as well as my own personal growth in terms of relating to others. I am actually planning to go through the recordings after this program, so I can continue to absorb and integrate so much incredible information. This could be an entire 2 semester course or even graduate program.”
“I think this program could be wildly beneficial to people in a variety of positions, including educators. Grateful to have been a part of it :)”
“Training was very good. It put things into different perspectives for me both personally and professionally.”
