About the Academy

The Somatic Academy™ is a professional certification program for women who feel called to bring nervous system education, somatic work, and breathwork into the way they support others.

Our Founders & Approach

Co-founded by Becca Nicholls and Cassie Kovacs, the academy welcomes coaches, practitioners, service providers, and women beginning a new professional path. Our training brings the body and nervous system into the conversation, helping students develop a deeper understanding of the people they work with - and themselves.

Training & Curriculum

Our comprehensive curriculum includes 14 live educational modules covering:

  • Nervous system foundations
  • Somatic awareness
  • Trauma-informed practice
  • Emotional processing
  • Breathwork science and safety
  • Session facilitation
  • Business integration

Students receive experiential demonstrations, live Q&A support, direct access to both founders, a private community, and lifetime access to training materials.

In-Person Immersion & Certification

The program culminates in a mandatory five-day, in-person immersion where students facilitate live sessions, receive individual feedback, and complete practical certification assessments. Certification is earned through written exams, demonstrated facilitation skills, and ongoing integration of the material.

Certifications Awarded

Graduates receive three certifications:

  • Trauma-Informed Nervous System Coach
  • Somatic Practitioner
  • Breathwork Practitioner

Our Mission

We believe responsible facilitation begins with embodying the work yourself. Our mission is to prepare thoughtful, confident practitioners who bring depth, care, and integrity to every space they hold.
