The Somatic Edge: How to Become the Coach Everyone Wants to Work With
Discover why "trauma-informed" isn't enough anymore, and why the coaches who become trauma-TRAINED will dominate the next decade
The coaching industry just changed. And most coaches don't even know it yet.
For the last 3-4 years, "trauma-informed and somatic coaching" has been the buzzword. Coaches took weekend workshops, read Bessel van der Kolk, became “somatic breathwork facilitators,” and added "trauma-informed" to their bios.
And now everyone has it.
Walk through Instagram. Scroll through coaching websites. Check out any coach training program.
Everyone is "trauma-informed" or “a somatic (fill-in-the-blank) now.
Which means it's no longer a differentiator. It's table stakes.
But here's what most coaches still don't have:
❌ Deep fluency in nervous system capacity and flexibility
❌ 100+ hours of practiced somatic skills
❌ The ability to hold complex trauma without referring immediately
❌ Embodied mastery that takes YEARS to develop
❌ A legitimate certification that proves their expertise
They're trauma-INFORMED. But they're not trauma-TRAINED.
And that's the new competitive edge.
The coaches who will thrive in the next decade aren't the ones with the best Instagram strategy or the biggest following.
They're the ones with the deepest skill.
Because clients are getting smarter, they're in therapy. They've read the books. They understand their nervous system now.
And they're asking a new question:
"Does my coach actually know how to WORK with my trauma? Or do they just know it exists?"
The coaches who can answer "yes" to that question are the ones getting hired, getting referrals, and building waitlists.
In this FREE 2-day live masterclass, you'll discover:
Why being "trauma-informed" is no longer enough (and what the new standard is)
The difference between awareness and skill and why only one creates lasting transformation
What trauma-TRAINED actually means (and why it takes a year, not a weekend)
How to position yourself as one of the few trauma-trained coaches in your market
The year-long path to mastery (and why early adopters will dominate)
This isn't just another training about trauma.
This is about the future of the coaching industry and whether you'll lead it or get left behind.

THE TRUTH ABOUT COACHING RIGHT NOW
Here's what's happening:
Phase 1 (2018-2022): Trauma-informed coaching emerged
A few pioneers started talking about nervous systems. It was new. It was differentiating.
Phase 2 (2022-2024): Trauma-informed went mainstream.
Everyone took a workshop. Everyone read the book. Everyone added it to their bio.
Phase 3 (2025+): Trauma-TRAINED becomes the new standard
Clients start asking: "Are you actually trained? Or did you just take a weekend course?"
We're at the beginning of Phase 3 right now.
The coaches who get trained NOW, before this becomes expected, will be the thought leaders, high-earners, and the go-to experts.
The coaches who wait? They'll be playing catch-up in a saturated market.

Trauma-informed means you're AWARE of trauma and can recognize some signs. Trauma-trained means you've completed extensive education, practice, and supervision to actually WORK with trauma and renegotiate it in real-time. Think of it like knowing CPR exists vs. being CPR-certified. here
-
Nope. This masterclass will meet you where you are. If you're brand new to this work, you'll get the foundation. If you're already trauma-informed, you'll see what's next.
-
Yes. We will share information about our year-long Trauma-Trained Certification for those who want to go deeper. But there's zero pressure. Many coaches attend, implement what they learn for free, and never join the certification. Either way, you'll get massive value.
-
Because you can't build embodied skill in a weekend. You need time to practice, get feedback, integrate the learning into your own nervous system, and develop true fluency. Anyone claiming you can be "trauma-trained" in 6 weeks is selling you awareness, not mastery.
-
No. ALL your clients have nervous systems. ALL your clients have some level of trauma. Whether you're a business coach, health coach, life coach, or relationship coach, you need to understand how to work with the body.
The future belongs to trauma-TRAINED coaches.
The ones with deep skill.
The ones who invested the time.
The ones who became early adopters.
Will that be you?
