The SomaField Principles
Transformational client work that’s productive, trauma-informed, somatically-rooted, and deeply relational.
The SomaField Principles are ten core, meta-relational orienting principles that develop the practitioner as the primary instrument of change in client work. They can be used alongside any method or modality, and they map the terrain of truly masterful client work.
Together, the 10 Core Principles shape the relational conditions where meaningful change becomes possible. SomaField is grounded in decades of research and clinical experience showing that the strongest predictors of positive client outcomes are not which modalities practitioners use, but the quality, nuance, and integrity of the client/practitioner relationship itself.
The Ten Core Principles of SomaField
For client work to land, deepen, and truly transform, these ten elements must be actively present and in balance within the relational field. When The SomaField Principles are alive in the room, client work can be productive, trauma-informed, somatically rooted, spiritual, attuned, and deeply supportive—creating corrective emotional experiences for the client.
This is because the patterns, wounds, and behaviors clients seek support for all originated in relationship. No matter how intelligent, trained, or well-intentioned a practitioner is, transformation depends on the practitioner’s capacity to hold these principles in dynamic balance. Depth does not come from technique alone, but from how the practitioner meets the client, moment by moment.
Client Centered → person-led
Socio-Cultural Attunement → context
Nervous System Literacy → physiology
Attachment Awareness → relational patterning
Synchronous Field → depth, emergence, + mystery
Psychoeducation → meaning-making
Experiential + Somatic → transformation
Artistry → skillful navigation
Integrity → how power is held everywhere
Heart → emotional tone
If you’re a coach or therapist who knows how important these principles are in your work, you’re in the right place.
What’s Coming
I’m in the process of making SomaField more accessible so you can learn it, practice it, and integrate it into your own client work.
✨ A free video course is in development now. It’s designed to introduce you to the heart of SomaField through short teachings and it’ll be ready soon. It’s a great place to start.
📚 After that, there will be online courses for practitioners who want to go deeper. These will include teachings, real-session examples, workbooks, and opportunities for self-paced practice.
🌀 And soon, I’ll be opening up another SomaField Mentorship Lab—a live, intimate training space for practitioners to learn SomaField in depth. This is an experiential place to bring your questions, workshop client situations, receive support, and settle into your continued mastery with clients.
