A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER

Hi, I’m Dana Regan

dana sqaure.jpg

I am the founder and director of the Somatic Soul Coach™ School.

As you read over this information about the Somatic Soul Coach™ School certification program, I invite you to do so with your feet connected to the earth and your heart open to what’s possible.

I want your exploration of what we have to offer to be a full-body experience. I encourage you to check in with your body every as you read about the program, what sets it apart from other coaching certifications and how to decide if you belong here.

I want your decision to join us to be a full-body YES!

You’ll hear from our current students about what their experience has been. They’ll tell you all about the ways that this learning is changing how they work, make money, parent and live.

I started the Somatic Soul Coach™ School because I saw a need for a more body-centered approach to coaching. I’ve had a professional coaching practice for over 10 years and have witnessed again and again the life-changing impact that getting more in touch with the body has on my clients.

From CEOs to parents to teachers to entrepreneurs to influencers to digital nomads and everyone in between.

Given the chance to rewire their nervous system, my clients are now all happier, healthier and living in greater alignment with their life’s purpose.

When I realized that my impact would be limited working as the only Somatic Soul Coach™ in the world, I knew in my bones that it was time for me to share this transformative and deeply needed methodology with other people.

Other coaches, leaders, bodyworkers, and healers. Other souls—just like you—who know that the body is a wealth of wisdom and who are longing for greater access to a way to help others feel connected and embodied as well.

So the Somatic Soul Coach™ School was born.

This isn’t just a school. It’s a movement.

This is a place for people like you to learn how to be a Somatic Soul Coach™, a successful business owner and an active member of our disembodied world that so desperately needs our work.

The Somatic Soul Coach™ School is an inclusive space and—in addition to our core curriculum—we address topics such as privilege, race, and sexism directly because all of these things are inherently connected to the body. As someone who identifies as a female and who is half Puerto Rican, I have felt the impact of so many different systems of oppression on a cellular level in my own body.

We also give breath and attention to the science and alchemy of Somatic Soul Coaching™ and support deep inquiry and embodied application along the way.

This program is full and deep and profound.

It is my life’s work—my soul calling—and I want more than anything for you to join me, my diverse and accomplished faculty and your eager and awake peers in the Somatic Soul Coach™ School certification program.

If your body and soul are calling you to do this work, keep reading. There are so many more juicy that I’m ready and excited to share with you!

Big love,

Dana Regan | Founder & Director

I love being a mirror for people. I love being able to reflect back to people what I see in them and what they see in themselves. I love holding space for them to be raw, for encouraging them and inspiring them. I love witnessing how the relationship of a coach and client can be so empowering, so supportive and truly full of unconditional love.

The 4 Pillars of Somatic Soul Coaching™

The 4 Pillars of Somatic Soul Coaching™ were established to ensure that your clients feel supported throughout their coaching programs. Every pillar covers a unique and essential part of the conversation. Below are the four pillars and the key points that make them important.

 
SSC-Sonora-Triangle-Big.png

Pillar 1

Radical Honesty


This pillar invites your client to be honest about where they are in their development every step of the way.

  • The coaching relationship only works when you and your client are honest with each other—no honesty means no relationship

  • Experiencing embodied transformation is dependent on your client sharing what’s working and what’s not working in their coaching program and in their life

  • We’re always working together from a place of curiosity and non-judgement so that the truth can rise to the surface

  • Somatic Soul Coaching™ requires your client to develop functional boundaries and a relationship to their commitments in order for them to experience the embodied transformation they are longing for

SSC-Sonora-Triangle-Big.png

Pillar 2

Radical Accountability


This pillar invites your client to be accountable for showing up and doing the work they need to do to experience an embodied transformation.

  • Doing the given weekly Soul Actions

  • Learning how to develop their nervous system’s capacity to be stretched and deeply nourished.

  • Getting clear on their commitment to doing this work together

  • Having them send a check-in email at least once a week—or more if this is what you and your client agree to

  • A willingness to share what they’re doing and not doing so you can make adjustments as their coach.

  • The development of personal accountability strategies

  • Letting you call them on their greatness and their unseen spots

  • A willingness to develop their ability to be an effective communicator

SSC-Sonora-Triangle-Big.png

Pillar 3

Radical Welcoming


This pillar invites your client to learn about all the ways they will be welcomed into the coaching relationship and what they can stay open to so they are part of the welcoming process.

  • Every part of your client is welcome in this relationship, including their Gremlin, Higher Self, Current Soma, and New Soma

  • The development of emotional agility is important to value as Somatic Soul Coaching™ welcomes both the pain and the joy of life. It’s about full-spectrum and inclusive living that does not privileged one somatic state over another

  • Your client must welcome being coached, which means allowing themselves to be challenged and interrupted when appropriate—interrupting story allows them to stay focused on the present and future and to get the desirable results that they’re longing for

SSC-Sonora-Triangle-Big.png

Pillar 4

Radical Wellbeing


This pillar invites your client to prioritize their wellbeing so that they can fully digest, metabolize and integrate the transformative work that you do together.

  • In this coaching relationship, your client will be supported by their nervous system and the Healthy Mind Platter

  • They will also be supported by your coach every step of the way to promote alignment and aliveness so that the work that they do with you is satisfying and meaningful

  • Somatic Soul Coaching™ supports radical alignment—when thoughts, words, feelings, actions, and belief systems are in alignment

I have been collapsing sensation with feeling and making that a story. And what I now get is that sensations are just sensations. And there is something to learn from them.

I have started to step into the role of coach. Somewhere along the way, it has begun to feel tangible and not just an ideal. Like I am finally giving myself permission to be in that seat and not just a friend who asks great questions. I feel like I am already starting to develop my own coaching style. I feel like I am tasting what it will be like to have my own business, and what it is like to show up for someone else and be in a seat of responsibility.

How To

Develop Your Brand

Whether you’re just starting out or you’re ready to freshen up you look, this part of the Build the Body of Your Business course gives you the tools and exercises you need to (re)create a brand that speaks to who you are as a human and the people who will be changed by your work. You’ll figure out everything from your brand aesthetic to your brand voice as you prepare to launch your work into the world as a Somatic Soul Coach™. We’ll also talk about where to focus your business building resources first so you make the most of investing in your brand.

How To

Share Your Message

This part of the Build the Body of Your Business course helps you develop your ability to effectively communicate with potential clients through clear messaging. Part of this message-building process means getting focused and connected to the humans in your niche. We want you to walk away from the Build the Body of Your Business course with the ability to use messaging as a way to get your work out into the world and engage your future clients in a generous and human way.

How To

Market Your Services

If sales and marketing isn’t your strong point that’s okay. In our Build the Body of Your Business course you’ll be given the scalable information and tools you need to get your message in front of potential coaching clients. At the Somatic Soul Coach™ School, we care more about having an impact and less about having a million followers. So the marketing component of this course is set up so you can create quality engagement with the people who are important to you having a successful coaching practice.

How To

Launch Your Business

In addition to helping you with brand development, messaging, and marketing, we’ll also get you on track to launching your professional coaching practice full swing. This includes giving you a formula to come up with your pricing, introducing you to the programs you can use to automate parts of your business, and giving you email templates, a new client welcome packet template, and so many more resources so you can spend more time doing what you do best—coaching!

 
So much inspiration and fizzing in my heart. So much pride in being part of this movement. I’ve learned that I can trust my intuition in client sessions. I’ve learned to begin guiding others (and myself) into body-led decision making.

Anything is possible, I have a mindset of greatness, hope, and knowing. I’m clearer when it comes to my goals, values, and beliefs. I’m clearer on who I am and not what people have told me I am. I’m learning to just be, be with the feelings, be with the sensations. I feel like things are flowing and I’m not resisting.
