Empowering Therapeutic
Presence Through Embodiment

Who We Are

At Embodywise, we offer comprehensive learning experiences aimed at cultivating your embodied therapeutic presence and skills. Our mission is to facilitate transformational therapy experiences by honing both the relational skillset and the internal capacity of helping professionals to grapple with human complexity.

Our Approach

In a world fragmented by individual and collective trauma, healing necessitates the development of the whole human being. We stand firm in our commitment to training from the "inside out", focusing on experiential and interactive learning experiences.

What We Offer

Embodywise presents intensive training to enhance your therapeutic skills, refine your somatic awareness, and uncover the internalized assumptions, body memories, and implicit beliefs that influence your relationships with self and others. Our programs also emphasize nurturing a more regulated nervous system, a key factor in becoming an integrated therapist, healer, and leader.​

Our Methodology

Our professional training integrates somatic psychology with evidence-based, embodied mindfulness practices and includes ongoing supervised practice. This blend of traditional and contemporary methods equips our learners with the necessary skills and confidence to navigate deep trauma healing effectively.

The nonprofit mission of Embodywise is to support the evolution of embodied healing professionals worldwide to create a more compassionate, conscious, and connected humankind. Join us on this journey and add your unique voice and gifts to our growing community.

Our Commitment towards equal opportunity education

The Embodied Healing Professional

Becoming an embodied healing professional begins with a willingness to inquire into the mystery of your lived experience. You can access the intelligence of your body’s wisdom for your own self discovery. This personal knowledge is essential when working somatic methods with clients and groups. Somatic therapies are powerful tools and a path into an embodied life. Transforming  trauma, learning methodologies that help others to heal and grow are not just top down learning paths. They require learning from the wisdom body. It takes time, intention and practice to develop as a skilled somatic healing practitioner. Embodywise supports helping professionals to learn from the “inside out,” developing not only therapeutic skills, but also continually refining our most essential tool: our own state of somatic awareness and mindful relational presence with our clients. The complexity of our current social challenges–including collective trauma, empathy burnout, systemic pressures and implicit bias among helping professionals–calls for a new paradigm for psychological healing that includes three essential elements:

Embodied Self

Your Somatic Resilience And Your Relationship With Your Own Innate Wisdom

Embodied Relationship

Your Therapeutic Skill Set For Facilitating Transformational Change That’s Nonviolent, Compassionate And Trusting Of Your Client’s Innate Healing Path

Embodied Community

Participating In Conscious, Kind Community Learning That’s Collaborative, Inclusive, Safe And Accountable

Manuela Mischke Reeds

“Somatic inquiry starts with being willing to be present with what we sense and feel without an internalized narrative. There is intelligence in our all of our experiences. We can transform unconscious beliefs towards wisdom in action, when we release old stories and live in alignment with our mind, heart and body.”
