By Heather Harris on 7/7/2026

Thus far I understand why the teacher is built for teaching this course. these movements are wonderful and I was able to follow along add my own thoughts live while learning. It has been a truly wonderful experience, and I feel wonderful in my own body as well.

By Tharene Windsor on 5/5/2026

i really enjoyed how it was presented. as an aerialist, fitness coach and martial artist, i really resonated with the info. as someone who has entered menopause and only dealing with lifelong trauma now, the calming manner in which the material was presented made the learning easy and the info is going to be very helpful in my new daily practises. thank you.

By Taja Božič on 3/18/2026

Really special course, that offers a powerful and relaxed introduction to somatic healing, blending theory with practical tools you can actually apply in daily life or coaching. I especially appreciated the holistic approach—connecting body, mind, and emotions in a way that feels both grounding and empowering. What made it truly special were the lessons filmed in the beautiful landscapes of Maui—it honestly felt like being there, which added a calming and immersive dimension to the whole experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking transformation and deeper self-connection.

By Anton Aida Ioana on 1/29/2026

I love this course, it helps me relax my body through beautiful videos and through stretching postures I learn from Tasha. She helps me find my own pace and do what makes me feel comfortable. I recommend this course to those who need to learn how to relax their muscles and relieve trauma feelings from their body, but also for those who want to learn how to help others. Thank you, Tasha!

By Udemy User on 10/17/2025

The scenery is beautiful and the teacher is very heart focused. I learned a lot of useful information. In the beginning explanation of Somantics, there seemed to be a lot of explaining, using different ways to explain the same concept. The sound level was very low.

By Jackie Trask on 8/19/2025

Tasha exudes warmth and passion for what she does and her one to ones would be amazing. For me I found it confusing on who this course is really for? I would really struggle with having enough information to use it in a coaching capacity. There just wasn’t enough depth. And yes Hawaii is beautiful but I didn’t feel that each video intro scene and information on Hawaii was necessary or relevant, for this course being a coaching course. That would fit better into the individual videos being a daily practice session. It is beautiful scenery and photography. If a person is looking for a light introductory course into somatic then I feel this would be a great match.

By Celange Terry on 6/26/2025

I have to leave an honest review for anyone who is looking to deepen their knowledge of Somatics. Firstly, thank you to Tasha for taking the time to put this together. I absolutely loved Tasha's style when it came to sharing her passion of Somatics, her energy radiates through the screen. I would of perhaps liked more insturction and detail when it came to why we were doing certain practices. I felt some videos gave more details on who Tasha studied with and where than the actual practice of Somatics and EMDR. There was a video where Tasha gave an example with a client but the sound was quality was poor and the text didn't give enough insight into how to coach someone through. I wanted to add some somatic practices to my upcoming workshop but I dont feel like I got enough from this course to proceed. I would definitely like to try another one of tasha's courses if there was more detail and instruction in the videos.

By Geri Lyn Cross on 5/28/2025

I have been asked to lead several short warm ups at a dance festival and while as a dancer, we all do warm ups before class, performances, I want to bring to the table knowledge as to why and how to get the most out of our warm up to fully prepare our mind and body for what we are expecting to do for us. Love the location videos, helps put my mind in a zen place while I'm also learning.

By Okti Qadriani on 5/1/2025

Thank you for the valuable content provided in the course so far. The somatic practices themselves are very effective and beneficial. For future iterations of the course, I would like to suggest a deeper dive into the scientific principles behind the exercises. As a trainee coach, I believe the certification would be even more powerful with more detailed explanations of the "why"—for example, exploring the mechanics of the nervous system, the limbic system's involvement, and the role of the vagus nerve in these practices. Integrating this scientific context directly into the lessons would greatly enhance my ability to explain the value of these techniques to future clients and empower me to tailor the practices more effectively. I appreciate the knowledge shared and look forward to completing my certification.

By Rasheed Stewart on 3/17/2025

so far this course feels more like a somatic retreat via online and less of a somatic life coaching certification course: I say this because how the information is provided as to why these techniques work seems to stay very surface level. I think that a course for coaches should be a lot more detailed oriented around the sciences of how the nervous system is engaged while doing these exercises, how this effects the limbic system and why? going more into the vagus nerve and why deep slow breathing stimulates it? there were a lot of books you recommended on somatics but it felt like akin to when you're at a retreat and the instructor goes " if ya want to learn more about how this stuff works just read these books" instead of actually sharing the knowledge of these books in the course and breaking down the sciences more to gage a more expansive understanding. I feel deeply specifically for coaches there definitely needs to be more detailed oriented information so that when taught to patients/ clients/ people who ever... can properly understand how exercises influences their everyday life's, not just when experiencing distressing times. This course so far feels more like *here's some tips on how to feel better about your life through somatics* vs *lets truly break down the sciences on why these somatic practices work. I think if the sciences were spoken on more in depth while using language that is not too academically tensed it would garner a more in-depth understanding for aspiring coaches to feel that much more solace in personalizing/innovating these somatic practices to fit their unique approach to providing care. please don't misconstrue this as me saying this course isn't valuable ....because truly all of this makes you feel better...I just would of appreciated a more in-depth breakdown. This review is based off of the review window that pops up halfway through the course.....so I'm still gonna finish the rest cuz I want this certification
