Hakomi offers a safe nurturing space to explore your inner world, tune into the wisdom of your body, and embrace transformative self-awareness. 

In Level Two of the Hakomi Professional Training, you’ll expand your skills in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy in three important ways: by developing your “selfhood,” refining your therapeutic strategy, and by working your personal edges as a therapist through in-depth supervised practice. In Hakomi, developing your “selfhood” means expanding your capacity to work with even the most challenging clients and situations from a deeply mindful and compassionate state.

Through targeted experiential exercises and supervised practice, our Level 2 training will help you explore your organization as a therapist and surface and transform unseen patterns that limit your effectiveness with clients. You’ll also refine your therapeutic strategy by learning to choose the tools and interventions that are most appropriate for your clients. Therapists often remark that the deep personal work that unfolds during their second year of Hakomi training profoundly impacts not only their therapy sessions, but their personal relationships as well.

Make-up for missed live teaching sessions includes watching the recording, which will be posted on our learning platform, and completing required documentation. Please see below for more details.

If you miss 4 or 5 online days, in order to get a certificate of completion you'll need to listen to all the Kajabi classes, as well as the videos of the live days you missed, write a brief report of what you learned in each one, do any exercises from those times with a group member or to pay an assistant to do them with you, and write a report on that as well. This should be done within a six-month window from the end of the training and requires a $150 Review Fee.

If you miss between 6 to 9 online days, In addition to the requirements above, you can work with one of the Hakomi Teachers or Teachers in Training to do some live sessions with a buddy to demonstrate your skills level, ask questions about the material and get some additional input. It would be a good learning experience in any case but could take some time to make sure your skills level is equivalent to Level One. You can arrange this with one of our teachers or teachers in training separately at their normal fees, and then they can report back to lead faculty when they think your skills are ready.  

If you miss more than 9 online days, you'll need to take the Level 1 training again to receive a certificate of completion and/or continue on to Professional Training Level 2. We'll be happy to offer you a 50% repeat-student discount.

  5. Practice instructions will be provided on our learning platform for each module to help guide you.
