Tap Into Your Inner Divinity and Uncover the Ancient Path to Healing, Awakening, and Embodiment with the Somatic Awakening® Practitioner Program.
This program is for those who want to go much deeper into the depths of your being:
- to heal that which is holding you back,
- to engage your authentic power and freedom,
- to catapult you into your own awakening and activation of who you truly are.
This course has been crafted for anyone who wants to go deeper into their own healing and awakening.
It also offers the first step for those who want to pursue certification as a Somatic Awakening® Practitioner (SAPP) and continue on to Level II.
The Somatic Awakening® Practitioner Program (SAPP) is for you if you are ready to:
- Courageously step into deeply shifting the negative voices, beliefs, and contractions of trauma that keep you frozen, hyper-reactive, and suppressed. You are ready to deeply heal yourself so you are free.
- Fully embody your higher self in your being and life, to potently activate your awakening, and step into your own Source Connection. You long to align with your true essence and claim the miracles that are meant for you.
- Escape from dysfunctional relationships, overwhelming anxiety, and the feeling of lack in your life. You desire to have harmonious connections, a sense of calm and liberation within, and bask in the abundance that naturally belongs to you.
- Explore the transformations possible with the mystical path of healing and spirituality that is Somatic Awakening®, a practice that arose from the Divine Feminine and the Magdalene Way to help you heal, embody the very core of your being, and unlock your fullest potential.
The Somatic Awakening® Practitioner Program offers a framework, scaffolding, and depth training that helps YOU remember the luminous divine being that you truly are.
Somatic Awakening® arose out of some of the darkest years of my life, during a time when I felt frozen in lack, unworthiness, and fear. For years I navigated the depths of my own and the collective shadows of pain, suffering, and suppression.
But then, I was shown a path of healing, awakening, and embodiment by higher beings of Christed Consciousness, especially Mary Magdalene. This path of pure grace transformed my pain into peace and opened the door to numerous awakening and embodying experiences that totally transformed my life.
I brought this path into my clinical practice as a Naturopathic Doctor and Mind-Body-Spirit Specialist with amazing results, and it became even more nuanced and refined into what it is today.
Now Somatic Awakening® is the potent healing modality and spiritual practice that it has become today and has powerfully healed and awakened countless others.
The Somatic Awakening® Practitioner Program
The Level I Somatic Awakening® Practitioner Program is a 7-month program that runs from Jan. 2024 – August 2024
The Level I program takes you through multiple experiences and layers of perception which opens the doors to your deeper healing, awakening, and evolution step-by-step.
It guides you through the foundations of deeply understanding and engaging your own psyche, somatic body, spirit, and soul. You are taught how to fully engage Phase I Gestalt Somatic Awakening® which helps to decrease negative voices running in your being. You also move further into mastery of the magic of Phase II Somatic Awakening® which deeply heals and transforms trauma, frees your life, and potently aligns you with your higher self and the Divine.
This program also teaches aspects of Quantum Somatic Awakening® which significantly contributes to the stabilization and progression of your healing and awakening journey; by enabling you to more fully embrace and embody your higher self, as well as it activates the power of manifestation in your life.
The scope of this program extends beyond the foundational principles covered in Embody Healing and Freedom, delving more deeply into comprehending, applying, and internalizing this transformative work.
The Level I program is for those seeking to delve deeper into their spiritual and healing journey. It also serves as a stepping stone for those who want to pursue becoming a Somatic Awakening® Practitioner.
After successfully finishing Level I, those with a desire to become certified Somatic Awakening® practitioners can advance to Level II, which is a comprehensive 7-month program. This program delves into the intricate details of being a Somatic Awakening® Practitioner and teaches individuals how to share this transformative work with others through a healing practice. For more information, go here.
What students are saying about the
Somatic Awakening Practitioner Program
By the end of the Level I program, you will:
- Understand more fully the workings of your psyche, subconscious patterns, energy body, and somatic body (as well as the traumatic contractions within.). You will also learn how to make contact with and bring potent healing to these aspects inside of you.
- Experience and embody the multiple aspects of your higher self (your adult consciousness, higher self witness consciousness, the conduit of divinity, and more.) Take a quantum leap in your healing and evolution through this personal awareness and embodiment. Because here, you don’t just “know” this practice cognitively; you experience and embody it.
- Understand and embody the spiritual principles that Somatic Awakening® is based upon, such as organic presence and the three awareness of the present moment, which allows this practice and modality to powerfully blossom in your life. You will be guided to move beyond a static mental understanding of these principles so you can utilize and engage them in your practice and daily life.
- Be able to engage this modality and practice in some of the most difficult aspects of your life and inner psyche. Here, you come into contact with some of the deepest healing and awakening possible with Somatic Awakening®. And, it is here that even in the most difficult of circumstances, you come to powerfully know and trust that you know how now to find your way into healing, ease, grace, and peace.
- More fully embody your holy higher self and engage the most potent levels of support, stabilization, and manifestation to help you evolve in your healing, awakening, and your life in general.
- Engage the practice of embodiment that Somatic Awakening® offers, which guides you toward a life lived in harmonious alignment with your higher self, embodying its essence within you on a daily basis. This opens you to the powerful feedback, support, and guidance of your higher self and the divine moving into every aspect of your life. Ultimately awakening your own source connection of the divine in the center of your soul within.
- Forge connections with Ascended Master Mentors, and other high-vibration guides, who tirelessly support you to recognize that divine support is ever-present, always embracing you. In doing so, you are potently guided and led into being the powerful divine being that you truly are.
- Take steps toward activating your own intuitive/spiritual awareness, a deeper unification with all that is, come more into wholeness within, and begin to understand the deeper foundations of who you really are and this reality.
- Join a community of individuals who share similar beliefs and values. Immerse yourself in a group of like-minded individuals who are committed to self-exploration and growth. Together, you will be a part of the Somatic Awakening® community, united by a common language, shared experiences, and deep connections. Here, you can build meaningful relationships while also fulfilling your desire for healing and spiritual awakening.
- For those of you who want to become Somatic Awakening® practitioner, Level I opens the doors for you to go on to complete the Level II Practitioner Program and become a practitioner. Having practiced it for years, I can attest that there’s no experience like being enveloped in the divine healing it offers, creating a potent and transformative environment for both ourselves and others. The impact of this practice often verges on the miraculous and is a remarkable resource to share with others.

Questions you may want to have answered before fully stepping in…
I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the things I’m going to learn and step into inside this program. Are you sure I can do this?
This program has a lot to offer that will positively change your life for the better in terms of healing, awakening, and stepping into more freedom in your life. However, Somatic Awakening® is not just a healing modality; it is also a spiritual practice. And spiritual practices are a path, not just a destination. So, it can and will go much deeper for those who resonate with this work. Over time, this program will enable you to internalize the teachings on a deeper level and assist you in embodying your higher self in your day-to-day life.
This program is offered in a live format so that you can more fully align these teachings into your life. This format also gets your questions immediately answered and promotes powerful conversation together. Both help you go deeper into your understanding and embodying of this work.

You will also have a 5-year membership to the recordings of this course, so if needed, you can take your time viewing and listening to the classes, meditations, and transmission, as well as you can go over them again and again if desired.
It feels like a big time commitment, and I’m already busy. Is this workable for someone who is busy?

If you are interested in the program and need more financial flexibility than what is listed above, other options are available.
This includes:
- There is a more affordable financial tier that does not include one-on-one Somatic Awakening® sessions with Dr. Melissa which are offered in either a 6-month, 8-month, or if needed a 12-month payment plan.
- There are also partial scholarships for those in financial need, especially if you have a disability or are from a BIPOC community.

For more information on all of the above schedule a Discovery Call with me to find out more.
Do I receive a certificate as a Somatic Awakening® Practitioner after completing Level I?
After completion of Level I, you will receive a certificate of completion for the Level I Somatic Awakening Practitioner Program. However, you will NOT be a certified practitioner of Somatic Awakening®. In order to receive certification to be a practitioner you will need to complete Level II. Information on Level II is at the bottom of this web page.
I’m unclear about the prerequisite process. Can you clarify what I need to do?
The prerequisite course for this program is the introductory course on Somatic Awakening® Embody Healing and Freedom and currently, this program is offered for FREE for a limited time if you apply and are accepted. This is to help make onboarding into the Somatic Awakening® Practitioner Program super easy. Also, previous graduates of the course “The Quantum You” qualify.
Prerequisites are important because it is essential for you to understand the basics of Somatic Awakening® before diving into this deeper program. it will help prospective students more fully understand the depths of what Somatic Awakening® is. For those starting on their spiritual path, this modality and practice may be more advanced than what they are ready for. We also honor that for some students, for whatever reason, may not resonate with it. Because of all of these reasons, thank you for understanding the need for a prerequisite course.
Also, it is HIGHLY recommended to watch the ENTIRE Embody Healing and Freedom course. However, for those who purchase this course close to the program’s beginning date, you must have completed at least half of the Embody Healing and Freedom course (two modules) to be admitted into this program.
Can you explain the application process?
To enroll in the Somatic Awakening® Practitioner Program, you need to fill out the application here Once received, I will reach out to you to set up an interview. During this interview, we will discuss your background, answer any questions you have, and discuss your alignment with this program. Once accepted into the program, we then take the next steps to get you on board.
Those who aren’t ready yet to fill out the application form and want to find out more if this program is a fit for you can schedule a Discover Call where we can talk one-on-one.
I don’t really know you as a teacher. What are your credentials and background?
This is an important question because you want to make sure that I am a good teacher and know what I’m talking about. I get it, and here is the short of it: I’ve been in practice as a naturopathic doctor and mind-body-spirit specialist for over twenty years. I have been a teacher of spirituality, consciousness, energy medicine, and holistic health for even longer. I have also had numerous personal awakening and healing experiences. Most significantly, I’ve had a ten-year dark night of the soul that popped me into multiple awakening experiences and a direct relationship with Sophia Divine Mother, Mary Magdalene, and multiple other ascended masters…which led to Somatic Awakening® blossoming in my life and my healing practice. I’ve also discovered many secrets along the way to life-changing healing and connection with our true nature. And many of these secrets are found in this program.

Does this really work? Is it really going to make a difference in my life?
If you are a person who is connected to an awareness of your body, you deeply feel emotions, have a general ability to meditate, sense energy, and you are spiritually inclined, then chances are you will deeply resonate with this modality and healing practice and it will make a big impact on your life. Also, remember the more you experience, the higher healing energy possible within this work, the more this practice will continue to open you to healing, awakening, and embodiment. But, don’t take my word for it. If you are unsure, listen to some of the free meditations, and transmissions, watch interviews, listen to the podcast, attend some of the Somatic Awakening® Sangha Gatherings, read the testimonials found throughout my websites, read my free e-book, or read the many blogs. After doing so, see if you feel a resonance with what is shared and are excited about the possibilities you will be led to your answer.
In all honesty, I have seen countless people heal from this modality. This is why I am teaching it now…because it is time for humanity to remember who we are, and to do so, we need to heal the aspects of us that limit us so we can awaken to our true divine nature. My own conviction in the transformative potential of Somatic Awakening® is unwavering because it has had a profound healing effect on me, ushered significant shifts in my life, and bestowed upon me multiple awakening experiences. Then, I observed the same experiences manifest in many other patients and students.
If you show up, do the work, and are sincere about embodying this information, your life will change, heal, and shift for the better. And, if it doesn’t work for you, there is always a money-back guarantee. For more information on that, click here.
