Here's why others have joined the training:
Dealing with ADHD in a fast-paced work environment
"I've taken the course many times. It initially helped me to get a job in my purpose, and to know that I deserve that type of job and that type of abundance. And after receiving an ADHD diagnosis I retook the course and revisited the soma therapies, which helped me in this very fast-paced position. I have more peace, I'm able to tackle more of my responsibilities, and I don't feel as much pressure to get things done because I'm able to figure out what needs more of my attention. I just feel good."
-- Seradin Engram
Healing trauma, achieving greater physical & emotional health
"I was dealing with some heavy emotional things and I needed to get that out of my body. I joined around the beginning of the pandemic where we were dealing with uprising and lockdown at the same time. Being able to work through my personal trauma while still being able to manage what was happening outside was vitally important to my health."
-- Kibra Yohannes
