The body’s intelligence is always working for us, even during illness. I see this as “the health,” an ever-present force within the mind, body, and spirit — not something we create, but something we access by removing the obstacles that block it. This new approach embraces the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and energetic systems, offering a holistic path to profound healing.

UNLOCK THE BODY’S SELF-HEALING POWER & GUIDE OTHERS TO EMBODIED HEALTH
Imagine moving through life with ease, deeply connected to your body’s rhythms, and fully trusting its natural ability to heal and self-correct.
Now, picture helping others achieve the same transformation — guiding them to release tension, uncover the root cause of their ailments, and activate their body’s innate healing potential. This is what lead faculty, osteopathic doctor, and somatic movement pioneer Brian Siddharta Ingle refers to as “the health.”
Introducing the Applied Somatic Healing Certification
This year-long program offers a comprehensive roadmap for self-healing and holistic wellness. Brian’s decades of expertise as an osteopath, naturopath, Clinical Hanna Somatic Educator®, and co-founder of Living Somatics converge in a powerful system that integrates:
- Somatic movement and meditation to restore physical balance
- Quantum biology and circadian health to align with natural rhythms
- Osteopathic philosophy and somatic psychology to address the mind-body-spirit connection
Shift Your Understanding of Health & Empower Others
This comprehensive training will help you transform your approach to health and healing, both personally and professionally. You’ll not only learn how to manage symptoms, you’ll also reshape your understanding of wellness. You’ll receive tools that will help you identify and release the root causes of pain and trauma, deepen your connection to your own body’s innate wisdom through somatic movement practices, and guide others — whether clients, students, or loved ones — in self-regulation and self-correction for lasting resilience, vitality, and emotional balance.
Brian has spent decades developing a formula for self-healing that incorporates somatic practices that empower you to find the potency for self-healing that’s always present within you throughout the whole of you. These techniques activate energy, mobility, clarity, peace, and resilience through a shift in your awareness and thinking, and enhance how you move, feel, and relate to your physical environment.
Begin Your Journey to Wholeness & Medical Freedom
As a Certified Applied Somatic Healing Practitioner, you’ll empower individuals and groups to:
- Address physical, psychological, and environmental factors contributing to pain
- Access the body’s full healing capacity

About the Certification Program
By the end of this certification program, you’ll have gained a deep, practical understanding of somatic movement education, applied osteopathic principles, and the powerful insights of quantum and circadian biology. You’ll have mastered the formula for self-healing, empowering you to confidently teach somatic movement lessons, enhance your own practice, and guide others toward profound healing and transformation.
As an Applied Somatic Healing Certification graduate, you’ll guide clients in self-discovery by addressing the root causes of pain through facilitating inquiry into a client’s environmental, psychological or biological conflict, and their physical holding patterns.
By leading somatic movement practices, you’ll equip individuals and groups to connect with the inner wisdom that empowers them to take charge of their health, using techniques and practices that allow them to come home to their authentic selves.
This program is structured to promote an organic learning progression in biodynamic osteopathic thinking and somatic education. You’ll engage with this work as both a student and as a practitioner in training through guided movement lessons, lectures, and group discussions.
Facilitated small-group practice sessions will further develop your teaching skills and confidence, ensuring that you’re fully prepared to lead others upon graduation.

Osteopathy, founded by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, emphasizes the importance of integrating all aspects of a person’s body, mind, spirit, and environment.

You’ll learn how to align the conscious and subconscious mind to support your journey of reclaiming wholeness and accelerated healing.
Additionally, you’ll look at the placebo and nocebo effects, somatisation (the expression of psychological or emotional factors as physical symptoms), and the function of sleep, including how you can enhance and use it as a gateway to the subconscious mind.
This unit will also include a deeper understanding of Plato’s Medicine for the Free — “treating the soul/psych of the patient” and its five biological laws of nature. Lastly, you’ll explore the higher Self or Spirit and its qualities and learn how to incorporate Self energy into your daily life.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR INSTRUCTORS…
Brian Siddhartha Ingle
“... it has created meaningful and profound shifts in my awareness on many levels...”
I found this course to be a beautiful journey of self-discovery and deepening awareness. I was delighted and very grateful to share this powerful experience with such a caring and supportive community. I found the lessons to be both enriching and transformative on many levels. I look forward to continuing to embody this daily practice for years to come, as it has created meaningful and profound shifts in my awareness on many levels — physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually. I am deeply grateful for Brian’s teachings and generosity in sharing his knowledge of these beautiful somatic and osteopathic practices with all of us in a gentle, inclusive, and compassionate way. I truly appreciate his dedication to the healing process, by encouraging us to find the Health that is already present within each of us. What a precious gift!
— Esperanza, Millbrook, Canada
Brian Siddhartha Ingle
“This course allowed me to access the body as a whole with a new level of awareness...”
This course allowed me to access the body as a whole with a new level of awareness and ease of movement. I was able to further release tension patterns that had been there for a while and that other modalities were limited in shifting. Being a pelvic health therapist, I can also apply the somatosensory techniques to my work to allow clients to optimize their pelvic floor function.
— Rachel, Wilmington, Delaware
Brian Siddhartha Ingle
“This course helped me to really slow down my practice...”
This course helped me to really slow down my practice, to be very gentle and kind to myself, and to be centered. It was very nourishing at many levels — physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Deepest gratitude to Brian.
— Monique, Dublin, Ireland
Brian Siddhartha Ingle
“... this work is accessible to all bodies.”
I have suffered from lower back pain for most of my life, and as a result, I have studied fitness, yoga, and Pilates to alleviate the condition. While each of these has played a role in minimising discomfort, none have had the profound effect of Living Somatics. I love that if my body is in pain, I no longer have to go to a practitioner for relief (although that does feel good). I can instead explore the Living Somatics movement lessons. The work has had a profound impact on my life, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is willing to explore the subtlety of movement within their own body. Unlike many other modalities, this work is accessible to all bodies. I hope you enjoy your journey.
— Rachel Falconer, Living Somatic Movement teacher, yoga and Pilates instructor, Sydney, Australia
Brian Siddhartha Ingle
“I can move in ways that are freer and more integrated than ever before.”
I have practiced various mind-body disciplines for over 40 years — yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong. Even with these practices, I felt my body was losing its elasticity and range of motion. I believed I simply needed to come to terms with aging. After working with Brian Siddhartha Ingle, not only have I regained my former range of motion, I can move in ways that are freer and more integrated than ever before. Brian showed me simple daily practices that continue to deepen that integration. Plus, if I strain a muscle or ligament, I can now heal and rebalance it myself. Brian is a deeply knowledgeable, committed, and brilliant teacher. He treats his students with compassion and respect. If you have a chance to work with him, I recommend that you seize the opportunity. Your body and mind will thank you for years to come.
— Stephen Josephs, EdD, Executive coach, consultant, and co-author of Leadership Agility
Brian Siddhartha Ingle
“There are no words to express my gratitude for relief from this heart condition!”
There would not be space here for me to address all the astounding benefits I have received from this course. One of the topmost amazing experiences of my life is the relief I have found from a heart condition that had started to develop in my youth. I will describe it as erratic, rapid, pounding, fluttering, and missing heartbeats. This condition worsened with age until it was becoming disabling, including passing out, dizziness, very foggy thinking, being out of breath, exhaustion, etc. I used to constantly be aware of my heart beating. Now I can go a whole day without even thinking about my heart! Learning from Brian how to feel embodied with the energies and structures in my face, cranium, and jaws, and their connection with the rest of my body through the spine, has played, and still plays, a key role in my practice. There are no words to express my gratitude for relief from this heart condition! I now have a new life!! That is no exaggeration.
— Nora, Encinitas, California
Maya Gayatri Andersson (Schriefer)
“[Maya’s] warmth is also matched with incredible knowledge and skill in facilitating.”
Maya Gayatri Andersson has been exceptionally warm and encouraging and has shown unconditional positive regard through the whole of the Living Somatics Teacher Training. This is the kind of energy that makes a teacher truly unforgettable and like they’ve made a huge positive difference in your life. Her warmth is also matched with incredible knowledge and skill in facilitating. It’s been a gift to be a part of her student group in this training.
— Charlotte Preston, yoga teacher and massage therapist, London, UK
Maya Gayatri Andersson (Schriefer)
“I highly recommend Maya, with her beautiful energy and powerful yet gentle guidance...”
Maya has such wisdom and a presence, even online, that is second to none. I gained more clarity and peace after our sessions together than I have in years of working with other people and modalities. I highly recommend Maya, with her beautiful energy and powerful yet gentle guidance to anyone wanting to reconnect with who they truly are.
— Melody, UK
Maya Gayatri Andersson (Schriefer)
“Learning with Maya is an opportunity to deeply attune to your whole self...”
Learning with Maya is an opportunity to deeply attune to your whole self, to experience freedom of movement and cultivate an embodied awareness. She creates beautiful learning containers of gentleness and ease within, which helps students develop their somatic understanding, practice, and facilitation skills. As someone who truly embodies the somatic principles, Maya encourages each individual to respect their unique pace and path and to follow their comfort and curiosity as they evolve in their somatic learning and self-understanding.

Suresha Hill
“Suresha’s wisdom gift has many times over assisted my own healing, transformation, teaching and healing practice. A blessing indeed.”
— Shahido Kempter, Encinitas CA Pilates teacher, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist
Suresha Hill
“Her ability to bring my body into balance, alignment, and healing is like magic.”
Suresha Hill has such profound understanding, skill, and knowledge of the body and its energy. Her ability to bring my body into balance, alignment, and healing is like magic. A true communication exists between my body and her hands. Truly like magic.
— Krystina Demkowicz, former CEO and workshop leader
Suresha Hill
“Suresha articulates her understanding of a body in balance from a macro muscular-skeletal perspective...”
Although I have benefitted from Suresha’s skill as a healer, I find it difficult to put what feels like magic into words. Suresha articulates her understanding of a body in balance from a macro muscular-skeletal perspective, to the micro workings of each cell and how these systems communicate and harmonize. She offers a practical guide to her manual methods that influence the intelligent body to reset and restore.
— Dr. Heather Carlberg, MD
George Kao
“Not only is his content amazing, but the WAY HE IS BEING in his work inspires me every day...”
George is one of the most heartfelt business coaches I’ve had the chance to work with (and I’ve worked with many in the "heart-centered business" space). The other big-name coaches I’ve worked with felt like they were putting a “heart-centered costume” on top of mainstream (manipulative) business/marketing techniques. George’s approach starts from the ground up based on being of real service to people. Not only is his content amazing, but the WAY HE IS BEING in his work inspires me every day to see how I can be more generous and service-focused in my business. I’m so grateful to have his wisdom and his example in my life so I can infuse it into every area of our work!
— Jeremy Blanchard
George Kao
“... I’m able to rest and breathe while creating and building my business...”
With George I’m able to rest and breathe while creating and building my business to an updated 2.0 level — that is more than any business coach has ever been able to offer me before. I highly recommend George to business owners — also wanna-be ones — for clarity and support beyond all expectations.
— Lis Larsen

“I don’t know any other marketer with such high values, living them authentically himself.”
Many coaches only talk about being authentic. George Kao is truly an example of that! His approach is so different. I’ve been following his work for some time now, and I’m deeply convinced of the quality he offers and delivers through his courses and content. I don’t know any other marketer with such high values, living them authentically himself.
— Susanne Dahl, Ayurveda expert
Professor John Stuart Reid
“[John’s] passion and enthusiasm is contagious.”
John is an exceptional teacher. He has a way to make complicated material easily understandable. He teaches from his heart, not his head. His passion and enthusiasm is contagious. For me personally, as a student of sound healing using crystal bowls with Jeralyn Glass, this class has deepened my understanding, interest, practice, and application of sound healing. I would take any course that John offers in the future.

Professor John Stuart Reid
“Reid’s work expanded my knowledge...”
I never knew sound frequencies had such a dramatic effect on our bodies. Reid’s work expanded my knowledge and was like a confirmation of things I had thought of — and so logical, when one thinks of it. His visual demonstrations are fantastic. I am toning more and drumming again.
— Karen Joy, Norway
Professor John Stuart Reid
“Each module set me off on new discoveries...”
John Stuart Reid has such vast knowledge and experience within and around the area of sound medicine. Each module set me off on new discoveries of concrete ways to help myself and others.
