Why Practitioners Join KidSoma
Professionals working with children are facing increasing complexity. Research suggests that more than 70% of child therapists report seeing emotional and behavioral challenges that are more complex than in previous years.
The KidSoma Practitioner Training offers a practical framework for supporting children's capacity for regulation, participation, creativity, and connection.
Built around two core maps — the Universe of Flowland and the SomaCompass — the training helps practitioners recognize where a child is in their process and respond with greater clarity, confidence, and flexibility.
Rather than focusing on behavior alone, participants learn how to organize sessions that support growth, engagement, and meaningful participation.
The result is a practical, nervous system-informed approach that can be applied across therapeutic, educational, coaching, and caregiving settings.
This Training Is For You If You...
Work with children ages 4–12 in therapeutic, educational, coaching, or caregiving settings and want to:
- Better understand behavior through a developmental and nervous system-informed lens
- Recognize signs of regulation, overwhelm, and readiness for growth
- Support children through co-regulation, play, creativity, and connection
- Respond with greater confidence during challenging moments
- Structure sessions that promote participation, resilience, and development
- Expand your practical toolkit for working with children in 1:1 and small-group settings
Whether you are a therapist, counsellor, educator, occupational therapist, speech therapist, coach, or child development practitioner, this training offers practical frameworks that can be integrated directly into your existing work.
