About us

Welcome to Somatic Training Ireland.

Somatic Training Ireland was founded to meet the growing need for high-quality, professional training in Somatic Trauma Therapy, Nervous System Regulation, and embodied therapeutic practice.

As our understanding of trauma continues to evolve, there is increasing recognition that healing does not happen through insight alone. Trauma, stress, and life experiences are not only held within our thoughts and memories, but also within the body and nervous system. As a result, many therapists, coaches, youth workers, health professionals, and helping practitioners are seeking approaches that integrate both mind and body in the healing process.

Our mission

Our mission is to transform how trauma is understood, supported, and healed through Nervous System Education, Somatic Trauma Therapy Certification, and embodied professional training.

At the heart of our work is the Professional Diploma in Somatic Trauma Therapy, a comprehensive training programme designed to equip practitioners with the knowledge, skills, confidence, and embodied presence required to work safely and effectively with trauma through a nervous system-informed lens.

The programme integrates:

• Somatic Trauma Therapy
• Nervous System Regulation
• Polyvagal-Informed Practice
• Trauma Processing & Integration
• Attachment & Developmental Trauma
• Embodied Awareness & Interoception
• Resourcing, Pendulation & Titration
• Relational Somatics
• Community & Systemic Applications of Somatic Practice
• Professional Practice & Ethics

Participants engage in live teaching, experiential learning, peer practice, client work, case studies, reflective practice, retreats, and ongoing integration throughout the programme.

Your Lead Trainer

Somatic Training Ireland is led by Dr Sue Redmond, PhD, Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapist, Somatic EMDR Practitioner, Therapeutic Yoga Teacher, researcher, educator, and consultant. Drawing on more than twenty years of experience in trauma healing, healthy relationships, violence prevention, leadership development, youth and community work, and embodied practice, Sue brings together science, somatics, relational practice, and real-world application.

The programme is further enriched by specialist faculty members who contribute expertise in areas including embodied leadership, systems thinking, trauma, nervous system regulation, therapeutic movement, and collective healing.

Our vision

Our vision is a future where understanding the nervous system is as fundamental as understanding the mind, and where trauma-informed, body-based approaches are accessible across therapy, coaching, healthcare, education, organisations, and communities.

We believe that when practitioners learn to work with the wisdom of the body and the intelligence of the nervous system, new possibilities emerge for healing, resilience, connection, and transformation.

Who We Train

Our programmes are designed for:

• Counsellors and Psychotherapists
• Psychologists and Mental Health Professionals

Our Approach

Science informs our work. Experience deepens it. Embodiment brings it to life.
