Our Story
Curiosity and Empiricism: Our Journey from Transdisciplinary Research to Global Impact
What began as a transdisciplinary exploration in anatomy, psychology, somatics, physiotherapy, and alternative medicine techniques led Dr. Andrea Traldi on a lifelong journey to investigate the profound connections between the body’s physical structures and the mind’s psychological landscapes. This journey, marked by rigorous research and collaborative efforts, culminated in the founding of the Institute of Applied Somatics (IoAS).
As we distilled decades of research into a practical methodology, one profound area of our practice emerged as a powerful synthesis of the institute’s passion and mission, while also capturing the imagination and enthusiasm of a global audience: Nervous System Regulation.
Nervous System Regulation is a field of study but also a transformative movement resonating deeply across diverse disciplines. Our Nervous System Regulation Practitioner Training is designed to equip practitioners with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in this groundbreaking discipline. Today, we are proud to have trained hundreds of passionate practitioners from around the world, creating a global hub where they can thrive through this transformative practice and contribute to its ongoing evolution.

Dr. Andrea Traldi is an incredibly creative professional and I am deeply impressed by his skills and competence in the field of Somatic Psychology. The original IOAS methodology seamlessly combines profound knowledge and breadth of expertise in psychology techniques with precise exercises for physical well-being. This unique and original approach allows Nervous System Regulation Practitioners to expand beyond the physical impact of movement sequences and include crucially important emotional aspects of the human experience. I was also very impressed by the sensitive, respectful, and effective protocols to deal with somatic and emotional release. The training material available in the IOAS online campus is truly first-rate and helped me experience a personal journey of transformation while assimilating all the content at a natural pace including moments for pause, integration, and feedback. I particularly valued and appreciated the training's collaborative approach that allowed other professionals to bring meaningful contributions from their own expertise. I highly recommend the Nervous System Regulation Practitioner Training as a personal journey of discovery and as an opportunity to supercharge your professional expertise.
