01/The approach

Therapy that includes the body.

Bodynamic brings together conversation, body awareness, and movement to explore how experiences shape the way we feel, respond, and connect.

  1. 01

    Awareness

    Notice sensations, emotions, and patterns as they arise.

  2. 02

    Resources

    Explore and strengthen capacities for grounding, boundaries, and connection.

  3. 03

    New possibilities

    Practice different responses through collaborative, body-oriented work.

02/Professional qualifications

Understanding the designations.

Bodynamic has different levels of professional training. Each represents a distinct stage of education and experience.

  1. Bodynamic Practitioner

    Completed the Foundation and Practitioner trainings.

  2. Bodynamic Certified Therapist

    Completed a practitioner thesis, required supervision, and personal therapy hours.

  3. Bodynamic Analyst

    Completed the Bodymap, Shock Trauma and Reorienting Birth trainings.

A Bodynamic designation records training completed within the Bodynamic system. It does not in itself constitute professional licensure, which is regulated differently in each country — a practitioner's own listing states the credentials they hold where they work.
