WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
What you can expect to learn in 2 days:
1
Physiologically reset so you wake up rested and pain-free even after a full caseload
2
Assess the patterns of unconscious tension, the things your client can’t tell you because they are unaware of them, that may be the real source of musculoskeletal conditions and postural deviations so that you aren’t just chasing pain
3
Experience new strategies on assessment so that you can quickly identify chronic tension in posture and movement
4
Apply somatic unwinding techniques to melt tension predictably and consistently.
5
Discover how you to awaken feeling again in areas of disconnection, restoring comfortable tone and movement throughout your entire self.
Plus, I’ll even show you how to start applying these techniques with your clients!

ABOUT YOUR TRAINER
Gabriel Posner
I got into this work because I wanted to help relieve people’s suffering, but in the process I was falling apart and spending almost all the money I made on treatments that never fully worked.
This led me deep into the study of somatic and mindfulness practices, which ultimately helped to understand that I was unwittingly causing my own suffering from unconsciously bracing.
I learned to self-regulate and heal, which gave me the freedom to expand my practice, teach at a massage school on the side, volunteer for my professional association, and live an active life with my wife and three kids.
Besides being Certified in Massage Therapy and Hanna Somatic Education, I completed a PhD in Mind-Body Medicine, wrote the book "Somatic Techniques for Massage Therapists" and serve as the President of the Association for Hanna Somatic Education and on the Leadership Council of the International Somatic Movement Educators and Therapists Association.
I am also a trainer with Essential Somatics. This work gave me my life, and now I want to share this with you.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING?
It’s so much easier than you think. When you look at all the other tchniques you may have learned along the way, in the massage world anyway, usually it’s abot going deeper, manipulating. So I like working with the body. That’s also how I’ve worked with different modalities I do, but it’s just got this spaciousnesss. I really have enjoyed this so much.

“Gabriel is not only one of my teachers with Essential Somatics he is the Clinical Somatic practitioner I see. Gabriel has helped me with significant hip and leg tension/pain. I wasn't able to sit comfortably on the floor for a decade. I saw Gabriel and went straight from him to my Essential Somatics training. I sat on the ground for 4 days in training and had zero discomfort. Gabriel is very knowledgeable and successful in supporting clients to move more freely.”

“ Since I've started in this portal with everyone, I have just felt so much more grounded in my own body, and also relieved myself of things that I've been trying to work on and get figured out for the last, like, couple of years now, and it's been so helpful in just a matter of weeks when I've been trying to do things for it for the last, like, two years since I got injured.
