General
SOMA stands for Self Osteo Myofascial Applications. The Feel SOMA practice is a self-care, tissue management system that allows you to move, feel and live better.
There are people and/or organisations teaching Fascial Mobilisers and Osteofascial Release and unless they have completed the Feel SOMA Process (Level 1, 2 & 3 and the Feel SOMA Teaching course), they are not qualified or experienced to teach the Feel SOMA philosophy.
They may be using an application similar in name but not our scientific rationale or technique.
Yes, they are movements, but you won’t get the optimal outcome unless you practice the correct technique. Many people and organisations have morphed their own definition of our philosophy into the application.
No, Feel SOMA is for anyone who wants to become empowered to move, feel and live better.
It is a philosophy with over sixty years of collective research and application, challenging the view of the human body’s traditional perspective and focusing on the human being. Understanding that we can change tissue (of which there are 7 we focus on) instantly if we first become aware of what the tissue requires.
This inclusive client-centred methodology promotes regenerative health through self-care. Regenerative Health is about re-establishing an internal state of balance on many levels.
Yes, our programs are completely interchangeable with exisiting programs. You may choose to use certain components of the Feel SOMA™ programs to help enhance your already existing program OR our program can be used as stand alone program.
Masterclass
No, a pre-requisite is that all attendees must have the knowledge and skills to apply the various levels of techniques and applications delivered in prior digital or face-to-face Immersions.
The Masterclass experience empowers attendees to identify and discover myths, issues and challenges that are commonly labelled in our bodies and implement the Feel SOMA system to create potential solutions.
You will be exposed to dogmas that are regularly communicated in our industry, muscles are tight, glutes are weak, core needs strengthening, you are aging so you should feel discomfort and many more.
The Masterclass will challenge the status-quo (what is commonly told and believed) by questioning various titles that the body has been given, then applying simple challenges and techniques to see how the tissue responds. Simply, you will be exposed to many issues that are generally put in the “too hard” basket.
You will leave the Masterclass with more tools to you, your clients and your business evolve and succeed.
No, the Masterclass will permit you to apply and experience the power of the Feel SOMA™ techniques and applications, previously learnt at a face-to-face Immersion or Digital Immersion.
In the Masterclass, you will witness and feel in real-time, the change in tissue response and how it affects the human being on a mental, physical, emotional and spiritual level. The Feel SOMA™ Masterclass brings a whole new perspective of self-care and tissue management by listening and engaging the tissues and then empowering attendees to appraise and design positive solutions.
Yes there are, for those wanting to learn the scientific rationale, techniques and applications of Feel SOMA™ through the Digital Immersion and then experience in real time the power of creating solutions through the Live Masterclass, we have created a package.
Digital Immersions
Yes, since 2020 and Covid, Feel SOMA felt we needed to go to an online format to enable access to people who want to be a better version of them.
Previously we were a face-to-face experience, but that has now changed.
The digital Immersion has been designed to make the whole educational experience real. The various techniques and application have been recorded in a style as to how we would coach a client.
This enables you to perform a three-step process:
- Watch, listen and learn the technique
- Practice the technique, whilst reviewing the video
- Metric how you feel after completing the technique. This is all done in the comfort of your own location.
