Embodied processing is an evidence informed, integrative and holistic approach to embodied transformation, designed to work with the whole human from the bottom up, top down and inside out. We incorporate and draw inspiration from many cutting edge modalities and neurosciencists including Somatic Experiencing (SE), Polyvagal Theory (Stephen Porges), NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), NeuroAffective Touch (NATouch), Internal Family Systems (IFS), The Diamond Approach (Open Ended Inquiry), Compassionate Inquiry (CI) and more.
EP is a somatic & psycho-spiritual modality that is grounded in both the latest neuroscience as well as the ancient healing traditions. The process helps us to draw on the body’s innate intelligence to discharge stress, heal, and return to homeostasis. By guiding ourselves and our clients to meet ourselves at the roots, exactly as we are; transformation happens on its own.

Stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, overwhelm, people pleasing, dysfunctional relationship patterns, self sabotage, low self esteem, chronic pain…
All of this has roots that live as contracted stress in our body which dysregulates our nervous system, causing suffering and pain in our daily lives. Although talk therapy can be very beneficial when it comes to the wounds from unprocessed adverse experience it doesn't touch the stress that is stored in the body, just like talking about a broken leg will not help it find resolution.
When we are working primarily with the thinking mind by reframing, cognizing, pathologizing, diagnosing and looking for intellectual bandaids, when it comes to emotional wounding these practices can only assist as coping strategies and keeping the underlying pain out of consciousness, without bringing about any true or deep transformation.
Embodied Processing is a technique which is used to safely meet and digest the underlying wounds, which is what often hides behind and is the driving force of many of our surface symptoms.
LEARN MORE IN THE FREE PRE-TRAININGWhen working somatically it is essential that we develop enough capacity to meet unprocessed stress within the felt sense of our physical body.
As we begin to safely bring attention down into the body and meet the parts of ourselves which we have innocently repressed or suppressed, our window of tolerance grows and overtime we develop the ability to meet more dense and intense levels of sensation without falling into overwhelm. When we learn to meet ourselves with unconditional love and acceptance, our past begins to metabolise and we naturally begin to live a more present and embodied life.
This is a transformative training where all students are encouraged to work through their own childhood wounds, limitations, insecurities, triggers and stressors and embody the teachings and techniques in their daily lives.
Whether you are a psychologist, coach, counsellor, healer, yoga teacher, massage therapist or someone who is wishing to deepen your own healing journey, EP will give you the skills, insights and understanding to safely and effectively work with your own nervous system and that of your clients.

Once we have a clear understanding and map we can take the journey through our inner landscape and navigate the terrains of the unconscious and the body. On this journey we gain insight into things about ourselves that have remained outside of our awareness, we make the unconscious conscious.
This then gives us the ability to be able to move toward and re-integrate the parts of our sense of self that we have orphaned.
Having this map, we will also teach you a technique that will assist in guiding you through the terrain, and safely meet and metabolise what arises. With this training you will receive the most up to date understanding of the nervous system through a trauma-informed lens, based on the latest research and neuroscience as well as in depth insights and spiritual knowledge from ancient traditions.
This training incorporates both eastern and western philosophies, combining the two and packaging them into a simple, yet effective process that works.
The promise we give is that you will be given a simple, yet comprehensive model based on the latest neuroscience to understand the human experience, as well as an effective process to work on yourself and also with clients.

Hear from our past students...
"I am a Counsellor & Psychotherapist in private practice. I praise Matt & Ryan in their presentation of Embodied Processing, it has been such an inspiring journey giving me a greater confidence to process & integrate the practice within my sessions. I would say that this is my most enjoyed online training I have done & I loved the humour along the way as it did bring in my own feelings, emotions, but they were short lived. Thank you so much for an amazing experience. I am truly grateful & excited to get EP happening."
- Sheran Lees-Maric
"I am on a road to healing extreme pain and a reluctance to inhabit my body at all. The course has given me confidence to feel all of those feelings from my past and techniques to feel safe while doing so. The course brought together everything I’ve learned thus far in a comprehensive way. I am looking forward to hopefully some resolution and embodiment. Many thanks Matt and Ryan, you were great!"
- Jude Rafferty
"Over a period of years I have attended many courses both face to face and online. This course delivers above and beyond expectations; it is packaged in such a way that is not overwhelming, breaks down new ideas, tools and techniques into really easily doable chunks which gives you the confidence to try each section building on what you learn. The support is phenomenal, the students pose great questions and both Matt and Ryan handle each question intelligently and with compassion as some things can be triggering to all of us who have experienced Trauma. There is no judgment, and we have been encouraged at every step to engage with them and with each other. The option to buddy up for practice sessions has been really helpful; the more you engage with the online community the more you will get from this course. Highly recommend this to anyone."
- Carole Randell

Their knowledge, compassion and love in their teaching is so inspiring and empowering.

I cannot thank you guys enough for bringing this training into the world for the good of humanity."
