The Sonic Somatic Method™ is a vibration-based approach to somatic bodywork. It combines therapeutic tuning fork vibration with hands-on fascial work to give the nervous system something real to respond to, and to help the body reconnect with areas it has been guarding, bracing, or holding for years.
This isn't sound bathing and it isn't energy work. It's grounded in nervous system science, fascial anatomy, and proprioceptive reconnection. In two days you'll learn the why and the how, and you'll spend most of your time with forks in your hands, working on real bodies with real-time coaching.
We lay the groundwork: the science of why vibration works, the nervous system and fascia as the terrain we work with, and the fundamentals of the tools themselves. You'll get oriented to the method and begin hands-on practice learning to feel and follow vibration through the body.
We move into applying the method. Through demonstration and extended hands-on practice with coaching from both instructors, you'll learn to deliver the work on real bodies and blend fork work with hands-on technique. We bring in the art of somatic dialogue and holding space, scope of practice and safety, and how to weave SSM into the work you already do, so you leave ready to begin using it with clients.
If you work with the body, this work has a place in your practice. No prior tuning fork experience is needed.

For your practice: a distinctive tool that sets your work apart, reduces the physical load on your hands, and opens a new way to reach clients who haven't responded to anything else.
For your clients: a way to access the nervous system directly, to quiet chronic guarding, and to feel change in a single session that other approaches can take much longer to reach.

Getting here: The venue is in north Greensboro, so plan on a car or rideshare. The closest airport is Piedmont Triad International (PTI/GSO), about 20 to 25 minutes away. Raleigh-Durham (RDU) is about 1 hour 15 minutes but often has more flights and better fares. Amtrak’s Greensboro station is about 20 to 25 minutes from the venue.
Lodging: There are no hotels immediately next to the venue, so plan to book something with easy highway access and a short drive in, about 15 to 20 minutes. Once you register, we are happy to help you find a good spot.
