RESTORE SOMATICA

BREATHWORK FACILITATOR TRAINING


Welcome to Restore Somatica.

Restore Somatica is the brainchild of Lexy + Jim Maturana and the home of world-class, accredited breathwork + somatics training for anyone from breathwork enthusiasts all the way to clinical professionals.

A home for breath + body to be cultivated, reclaimed and restored as the most powerful healing therapy available to humanity. Our 12 month, broad scope, 250 hour Breathwork Facilitator Training has been designed with a few unique differences.

training

Firstly, its foundation is focused on YOU.

The facilitator.

 

After many + varied teaching’s between them, both Lexy + Jim found that many modern breathwork facilitators lacked the embodiment of this powerful medicine. They also observed that the most powerful transformations occurred when the facilitator had used breathwork as their own medicine, embodied both the modern and ancient principles of breathwork and had the physical, mental and spiritual capacity to hold someone through deep somatic + emotional release. 

They walked their talk. 

And as a Restore Somatica Facilitator so will you.

Restore Somatica was created to fill a need for a fast emerging field that needs therapists + facilitators with extensive knowledge, credible training, ethics of integrity and the embodiment of their own unique gifts + talents.

Breath + Somatics is a ‘bottom up’ approach to healing and yet we saw many teachers educating with a ‘top down’ approach. 

It just doesn’t make sense.

We aren’t just here to teach a breathwork course. We’re here to set a new standard and create a little disruption to the breathwork world by focusing on evidence based embodiment + quality over quantity, when it comes to our instructors.

Have a little peep below to see if this is the breathwork certification you’ve been looking for…

 

THE COURSE

Our Facilitator Certification has a 3 Stage Development Framework.

STAGE 1 – INITIATION

Stage 1 is designed specifically to prepare + initiate the facilitator into right relationship with the subtleties + complexities of their own nervous system + how to use it as a necessary tool in somatic work.

It’s designed for YOU!

Breathwork as an emerging therapy is not simply a ‘learn the science + apply’ model. It is a deep, reciprocal process where the facilitator + client engage in exchange + co-regulation.

You are solely responsible for creating a neurobiological space of SAFETY. And safety can not be exchanged unless you have created it, within your own body. Your own felt sense. 

This is why our training is a FACILITATOR FIRST model. Not more knowledge, not more information overload and definitely not more ‘cerebral’ teaching methods where what you’re learning never actually gets embodied. 

The first 6 months is devoted to a ‘monkey see, monkey do’ approach that will initiate you into absolute emotional + nervous system alchemy. This isn’t some mythical, mystical word but a foundational requirement for all breath + somatic practitioners. Self-alchemy simply means you have the resources AND the embodiment of how to apply them to the modern world. It’s knowing you can face life’s messy situations + scenarios and still find your way back to centre. This inner wholeness is what extends out to others and determines the type of life (and business) we create. 

During our own travels and studies we experienced far too many scenarios where facilitators didn’t walk their talk when it came to creating safe, embodied and trauma informed space. 

Hint: Safe spaces have almost nothing to do with the external environment. No amount of science, books, oils, crystals and pretty spaces will make up for an unsafe therapist.

So this first stage is devoted to your own evolution and journey into self to become a well-rounded, world class Breathwork Facilitator. Your understanding of your own inner wisdoms, intuition, nervous system and self-care is not some bonus module at the end of a course. It is the foundational requirement for breathwork brilliance. 

As a RESTORE SOMATICA facilitator, it starts with YOU.

STAGE 2 - IMMERSION

Time to get hands-on.

Maybe one day we will change our minds, but at this point we’re firm in our belief that you can’t become a Breathwork Facilitator solely online.

We believe you can only truly learn to hold powerful, safe and trauma-informed space through person to person, energy to energy and heart to heart contact. We believe the basic humanities of compassion, presence and being a humble witness is severely underrated by the healing + health community and that these qualities become embodied by being in immersion with other humans.

STAGE 2 REQUIREMENTS + CORE CURRICULUM

A 5 night, 6 day in-person retreat for supervised training.

The 6 day Immersion consists of:

- Structured + Unstructured Breathwork

STAGE 3 - PRACTICUM

Our third and final stage of development is where you get to apply everything you’ve learned with a
tailor-made 6 month active mentorship program.
Post-retreat, our priority is you gaining the confidence to take breathwork to any area that you’re guided to, with ongoing facilitator experience in both peer-supported and real world environments.

This will consist of :
- 20 x 1:1 and small group documented sessions
- 5 x Peer Reviewed Sessions
- 6 x Group Mentoring Calls
- Self- Assigned Breathwork Practice
- Written Assignments
- 2 x Final Case Studies
- 4 day per week access to your teachers

After 12 months, your certification can take you to a wide-range of areas from 1:1 therapy to schools to first responders, the corporate world, health + wellness and so much more. Why? Because breath can literally be of help to every single person on the planet.
