Put Yourself on the New Cutting Edge
of Healing and Personal Transformation

 

Whether you are a bodyworker, healer, or any other wellness professional, your clients are looking for help in solving problems, creating breakthroughs, and achieving lasting personal transformations.

One difficult aspect while working with your clients are the intense memories, emotions, and trauma that often arise during session, and what to do when those painful moments surface.

You probably already practice different ways of “holding” your clients through those feelings. But those memories and emotions keep coming back over and over again. And the end result is that your client may feel good for a while, but eventually everything comes back, and they feel stuck again.

 

Why? 

Because the body holds the root event — the deep source of these emotions — in the cellular memory. And without that root event being addressed and finally released, the clients are faced with continual emotional regressions. And those regressions, which typically happen without any warning — can literally stop your clients in their tracks. 

Somatics is on the rise precisely because it gives practitioners the tools to take a present emotion, trigger, or discomfort, and track it to the place where it is held within the body. This ability to move it out once and for all, enables you to guide your clients toward more permanent resolutions.

The Hudson Method

We have developed The Hudson Method of Somatics by combining decades of our expertise in Somatic Bodywork, Personal Coaching, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Trauma Resolution, Naturopathy, Shamanic Practices, and Energy Healing into one very effective and teachable system. This intuitive system guides and supports the client’s body, mind, and soul in healing and transformation through clearing cellular memory of the past.

Unlike most modern systems, the Hudson Method of Somatics is designed to not only dissolve trauma and other blocks but to also “fill” those now-empty spaces with positive experiences. This approach is effectively and powerfully rewriting their subconscious belief systems and their default trigger-response systems. Think of it as “bio-hacking” the human mind-body connection.

The Hudson Method literally dissolves the various issues which have held your clients back for years and years. Using our techniques, practitioners are able to uncover and release not only trauma that has been stored in the brain, but also the ones hidden deep in the cellular levels of both the physical and energetic bodies. Instead of  simply experiencing and endlessly talking about the emotions stuck in the body, clients finally get the chance to DO something about them. 

 

For people who have tried many different modalities with no real success, these results are miraculous.

Our previous students are consistently able to help clients create sustained and lasting results.

Who Is This  Training For?

This six-month certification program is designed for practitioners who already work with clients towards self improvement, healing and transformation. 

If you are a body worker, healer, or any other wellness professional, this training will enrich and deepen your current knowledge and practice — while filling in the gaps in areas where you’d like to feel more competent, especially when it comes to working with client trauma. 

In this program you will learn our methods to help your clients achieve superior levels of release, healing, and transformation in all of their systems: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual… Simultaneously. 

The Hudson Method can be added to your current set of skills and can also stand alone as a new session offering.

The Hudson Method of Somatics… Deep. Thorough. Lasting

The Impact of our Somatic Certification

“You two make such a beautiful team – the level of awareness, consciousness, and integrity is unmatched and so very much on purpose. You are willing to do what needs to be done in service of another’s unfolding; a rare and valuable service. I am no longer run and ravaged by fear. My brain broke and I broke open. I have a chance and I have the purpose I so needed to live my life.”
Hayden
“Your somatic training made me realize how important it is to see your shadows, dragons, and it is not all about love and light… there is no other way than to go over the body to reach that shadow and the training you are giving is extremely powerful to release old wounds in the body”
Tilly T. Licensed physio and craniosacral therapist
“Jonathan and Heike bring so much to the table as individuals and as a couple. They are passionate and engaging, directive, knowledgeable, and extremely caring.  People in our audiences responded to them very positively and they were booked solid the following 10 days.  I am looking forward to having them back at our next large event in New York City.”
Anita Teresa Boeninger SexAndMedicineSummit.com
“Participation in the Somatic Sexological Practitioners Training was profound and absolute.  The material was presented in a thoughtful and organized sequence leading up to the hands on workshops.  Jonathan and Heike held the space beautifully allowing for each participant their individual experience.  The work and process taught has been life changing for me, both personally and professionally, influencing how I relate to myself and my clients.  This was for me, some of the most powerful work I’ve ever done.  Without reservation, I highly recommend this program for both personal growth and professional development.”
Zev D. Certified Somatic Practitioner
“As a practitioner working with clients somatic based training has created the most effective, long lasting changes in my clients. It creates a unity between the body and mind that goes far beyond talk therapy. The mind may say it desires all sorts of things but if the body is stuck in a trauma response no amount of talking will ever get your client the results they desire in life. Jonathan and Hieke are like Jeidi Masters when it comes to speaking the language of the body and energy. They will teach you how to get the most epic results with your clients using very practical techniques, adding many tools to your tool box as a practitioner.”
Amy D. Certified Somatic Practitioner and Embodiment Coach
“To say that this training changed my life is an understatement. If you are seeking a comprehensive and profoundly rich toolbox of very powerful skills when working with Somatics, Trauma and the Psychology of the Body-Mind, run, don’t walk to spend time learning from the magic and passionate Jonathan and Heike Hudson. As mentors and teachers, they are unmatched – passionate and deeply invested in pushing the bounds in the field trauma therapy and Somatics – as human beings, their integrity and joy for what they do is beyond inspiring – I cannot recommend them enough.”
Marcie G. Certified Somatic Practitioner

How Does The Training Work?

The Hudson Somatics training is different from other programs. It is not simply a method we teach that you learn like in a classroom. In this training you will practice each part of the method in a way which requires you to embody all of it. In other words, you’re going to make The Method part of you. You’re going to make it yours. 

Plus the strategies, skills and tools you master will dramatically improve your own life well before you begin assisting clients in their evolution.

So not only are you learning the skills to become a Certified Somatic Practitioner, you also get the incredible benefit of receiving this life changing work on yourself.

The Certification Program runs over the time period of 6 months and consists of 

    • 12 interactive modules of written content, videos, presentations, and homework 
    • 12 weekly live group calls
    • 7-day Embodiment Intensive (in-person)
    • 3 months of supervised review of 20 hours of sessions with monthly live calls and Q&A

The online components will help you gain the theoretical framework and technical understanding of The Hudson Method and builds a thorough foundation for the 7-day Embodiment Intensive in San Diego. In order to get certified, students are required to perform and document 20 hours of post-training practice sessions which will be reviewed by training staff. 

We know you’re already busy, so we made this training as efficient as possible. The content is provided in easy to digest portions that can fit into your workweek. Every part of each module is 100% downloadable so you can learn while you’re on the go.
