Wendy is a gifted clinician and teacher. The training I attended was intimate and had depth. The group dynamic added such diversity and connection. This training brought me (professionally and personally) to a whole new level. Highly recommend ANYTHING that Wendy puts together.

Report
My experience of Wendy Elliott’s training has been a transformative process. She introduces the craft of somatic psychotherapy through a lens of limitless possibilities. Her holistic style is evidenced by the strength of her attunement and relative response(s). When I initially participated in Wendy’s trainings, I was a novice to psychotherapy and, admittedly, my primary resource was a cognitive, analytical mind. But, her attentive invitations to explore and integrate the spiritual, mindful, somatic processes were all inclusive. Old schemas challenged by a compassionate accompaniment
