What the Foundation is About
The Foundation focuses on working with body–mind disconnection and reconnection as a practical process — bringing together body, emotions, mind, values, and actions as one integrated system.
This course is the entry point into a structured 4-level training pathway, each level building on the previous one.
It can be taken as a standalone training or as the beginning of the full program.
Core Skills You Develop
Through 10 sessions and hands-on practice, you develop eight core coaching skills:
Somatic awareness: Read and understand body signals as a source of information.
Self-regulation: Work with the nervous system to create calm, presence, and stability.
Inner dialogue: Understand the relationship between inner parts, needs, and behavior.
Shadow integration: Recognise rejected parts, distorted values, and self-sabotaging patterns.
Emotional awareness: Recognise and name emotions with precision and nuance.
Self-love: Develop radical acceptance of inner and outer experience.
Value-based clarity: Identify and orient decisions around personal values.
Professional integration: Apply the full Bodymind process in a real coaching context.
You cannot guide others through a process you have not first experienced yourself.
Experiential First
This principle shapes everything about how the Foundation is structured — the techniques are first learned through direct personal experience, on yourself, before applying them professionally.
How the learning works:
-
Live Lab: Learning new tools through live demonstrations and guided exercises.
-
Embodiment: Bringing the work into your own experience through self-inquiry.
-
Refinement: Testing and refining in a safe setting with peer exchange and feedback.
-
Application: Applying the tools with external practice clients outside the training.
The Bodymind Internal System
The Foundation introduces a simple, intuitive system of four inner archetypes — the framework through which all eight intrapersonal skills are developed.
-
Inner Animal — instinctive energy, survival responses, and physical sensations; the seat of the nervous system.
-
Inner Child — emotional world, needs, wounds, and the parts that seek safety and connection.
-
Good Mother — acceptance, compassion, and emotional validation of yourself and others.
-
Good Father — inner capacity for direction, values, boundaries, and conscious action.
These archetypes are not concepts to study, but experiences to explore in yourself first, and then guide in others.
