This group will be limited to 8 participants and will meet monthly online from September to June online one Friday per month, from 9am-11am Pacific (Vancouver) Time.
We welcome counsellors, psychologists, social workers, and Hakomi practitioners who value and understand the benefits of bringing a somatic approach to their therapeutic work with clients. Regardless of your experience level of working with somatic methods, you can expect to be held in a kind, warm learning environment where we can explore together. Marcia is an Approved Clinical Supervisor with the BCACC (A-CS) and each session can count as 2 hours of group Clinical Supervision, for those needing to fulfill the requirement of supplemental supervision hours.

Develop your own somatic awareness
Sharpen the somatic skills/techniques that you already use in your work
