Most coaching still happens from the neck up.
AI will replace that, but AI is disembodied. It isn’t nervous system aware.
This free online event will show you how to work with the body safely, practically, and without being weird about it.
We’ll send the session details and replay access by email.

Useful questions, clever models and lots of talking are all fine… up to a point.
But real clients bring bodies, nervous systems, habits, histories, shutdown, shame, sensitivity and all the human stuff that doesn’t fit neatly into a coaching model.
Coaching is not suffering from a lack of information.
There are more models, questions, scripts, frameworks, podcasts, books, AI summaries and smug LinkedIn posts than anyone can sanely use.
Some are useful.
But good coaching has never been only about information.
It depends on presence, timing, trust, discernment and regulation. We need the ability to notice what is happening in our clients, in ourselves, and in the relationship – then respond skilfully.
That’s the layer this training explores.
Come if you want practical embodiment coaching skills you can actually use.
Many clients can talk about their patterns.
They can explain the family system, the leadership problem, the relationship dynamic, the productivity issue, the childhood wound, the attachment style… the whole bloody TED Talk.
But under stress the body does something else. It freezes, collapses, masks, people-pleases, overthinks, pushes through, shuts down, or says yes while something in them is clearly saying no.
This is not because they are stupid or “resistant”.
Often, the pattern lives partly in the body – our state, posture, breath, attention and nervous-system habits.
If you coach humans, this matters.
Embodiment gives coaches a way to work with the level where many patterns actually live – safely, practically and within coaching scope.
This training is for people who work with others and sense that talking alone is not always enough.
It is especially relevant for:
“If you’re looking for therapy, a quick certificate, or a pile of clever tricks you never practise, you likely won’t enjoy this training.
There’s enough of that in the world already.
Honestly, we also want to lovingly scare off the easily triggered.
I’ve trained many diverse groups from all over the world, started trauma charities and led courses on neuro-atypicality, but the one “culture” that just can’t stand my humour are the really “woke”.
Most people find us “refreshing”. They like that we demand adult robustness and like to have a laugh, but as my Italian partner says, “You’re not Pizza, Mark. Not everyone loves you”.
Now, you don’t need to love me (she has that covered) or even agree with me, but there’s no point coming if you’re just gonna get upset that I don’t sound like your blue-haired hardcore communist Berkeley grievance studies professor.
Although… I’m sure they/zem is nice too. Each to zer own.”
Across the training, you’ll explore what embodiment adds to coaching when clients need more than insight.
You’ll learn:
You will leave with useful distinctions, practical tools, and a clearer sense of whether embodiment coaching is a serious next step for your work.
Live from July 14-16 there are three days of short practical sessions, live demos and Q&A.
Most sessions are around 30 minutes, with an optional 15 minutes for questions, extra practice or discussion where useful.
Join live where you can, and catch the free replays from July 17-19.
Sessions will run across UK morning, UK afternoon/evening and North-American-friendly time slots where possible.

This free event is designed to be useful in its own right.
If you want to learn this work properly, you may like our flagship Certification of Embodiment Coaching (CEC), which is a six-month live online training starting September 15.
CEC is where people practise embodiment coaching properly, with live teaching, feedback, peer practice, support and clearer standards.
No need to decide that now.
Start with the free event. See if the work is useful.
Coaches, facilitators, therapists who coach, trainers, leadership practitioners, somatic practitioners, yoga or movement teachers moving toward coaching, and serious aspiring coaches.
It is especially relevant if you work with people who overthink, freeze, people-please, mask, collapse, shut down, or understand their patterns but still struggle to change them.
Yes. The live event is free to register for, and replays will be available free from July 17-19.
Yes. Replays will be available free from July 17-19.
Watching live is better if you can, but we realise people have jobs, children, time zones and nervous systems.
Most sessions are around 30 minutes, with an optional 15 minutes afterwards for questions, extra practice or discussion where useful.
The live sessions run from July 14-16.
The programme includes UK morning, UK afternoon and US-friendly evening slots.
The event page shows each session in your local time, with the UK time underneath for reference.
Primarily coaches, facilitators and practitioners who use coaching skills.
Therapists who also coach are welcome, especially if they want clearer ways to separate body-based coaching from therapy. The event will stay within coaching scope.
Yes, broadly. We usually use the word embodiment because it includes the body, behaviour, state, relationships, posture, breath, attention, movement and practical action.
If you are interested in somatic coaching, body-based coaching tools or nervous-system-informed coaching, this event should be relevant.
It is trauma-aware, practical and careful about scope.
This is not a therapy training, and the event will not teach people to process trauma. It will explore how coaches can work more safely with the body, state, pacing, consent and regulation.
Often, yes – as long as it is kept within coaching scope.
Many neurodivergent, highly sensitive or overwhelmed clients are not helped by more pressure, advice or purely cognitive reflection. State, pacing, sensory load, masking, shame, boundaries and nervous-system regulation can all matter.
This event will not make you a neurodivergence specialist. It will give useful embodiment distinctions for working with more sensitivity and complexity.
No. Some experience helps, but you do not need to be an embodiment expert.
You do need curiosity, willingness to practise a little, and ideally a sense of humour about being human in a body.
Yes. Expect distinctions, examples, tools and demonstrations.
There will be ideas, because sadly humans still need those, but the event is not designed as a theory lecture.
The free event gives you a practical taste of the work.
The Certification of Embodiment Coaching (CEC) is the deeper six-month training for people who want to learn embodiment coaching properly, with live practice, feedback, support and clear standards.
You do not need to be ready for that now. Start with the free event.
