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.

"I witnessed Ale meeting children as they are, without judgment, without wanting to educate, to transform the child into the adult's project. Standing side by side, with genuine empathy and curiosity, providing all the support, all the space for what comes from within....the child managing to feel and self-regulate, returning to themselves the confidence to be, to explore, to grow."

— Filipa T.

"This is quite simply the most fun and most effectively taught workshop I have ever attended, in any discipline. Alé's presence and bodyfulness, his ability to distil the essence, communicate & connect – sensorial & verbally – graphically, energetically – is the key to the experiences that matter."

— Kids in Tune, May 2022

"What I love most about Alé's teaching is that he empowers the participants of his courses to develop their own ideas. Rather than teaching a recipe or a bunch of tools and games, he teaches frameworks and principles so people can use it combined with their own unique skills and in the situation they work in."

— Eva Fenrich
