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.

Training Pillar #1
Embodied Anatomy and Applied Somatics
Learning Outcomes:
At the core of our methodology is a deep understanding of embodied anatomy. This involves theoretical knowledge of the body's structures, but also practical and experiential engagement with how they move and function. Our protocols guide practitioners to connect with their bodies on a profound level, experiencing the intricate relationship between the fascia and the nervous system. Each area of the body is explored through original movement sequences that impact the nervous system in a safe and respectful way. By fostering embodied awareness and mastering carefully curated movement sequences adaptable to individual needs and capabilities, you will learn how to understand, explain, and facilitate effective nervous system regulation protocols that liberate stress patterns, physical imbalances, and hidden rigidities.
Knowledge Covered:
- Somatic and autonomic Nervous System Regulation (NSR)
- Active and passive strategies to dissolve stress and anxiety
- Direction and speed of fascia: calibration of movement and effects on the nervous system
- Fascia of breathing and pelvic floor: visceral and skeletal pathways
- Nervous System Regulation for core and extremities
- Tensegrity and NSR: mastering layers of alternation and coordination
- Repatterning primordial pathways: head, neck, mouth, eyes
- Pendulation and pandiculation: connecting the subconscious of the body and mind.

Somatic Psychology
Learning Outcomes:
The integration of embodied anatomy and somatic psychology protocols allows us to approach nervous system regulation from both a physical and a psychological perspective.

This transformative journey empowers practitioners to access deeper layers of the subconscious mind where patterns of behavior, emotions, and hidden beliefs are stored. By engaging with these processes, you will learn to unravel and reframe entrenched patterns that have a profound impact on your clients' lives. Central to our approach is the cultivation of connection with your intuitive inner compass. Through experiential exercises and guided practices, you will deepen your ability to listen to and trust your intuitive insights, enhancing your capacity to guide clients through transformative processes.

- Processes that connect somatic awareness and somatic intuition

Andrea's wealth of knowledge and the passion for the material easily shines through. The information is detailed yet is presented in a way that is easily accessible. The online campus is the most complete and professional learning platform I have ever seen. The anatomical illustrations are not only beautiful but deepen the learning through the detail presented. Everything that you need to learn—from the live calls, slides and exercises—is broken down into bite-size chunks which makes it easy and manageable for students who want to immerse themselves in the material but also have busy lives. I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the online journal and feel this is an integral part of the learning process. Through this, I am not only expanding my physical self but connecting to the deeper parts of my subconscious and indeed, my soul. I have felt immensely supported during the learning process and indeed, even before the course formally began. Andrea is not only deeply knowledgeable but personable, warm and welcoming.

The IOAS integral, anatomy-based approach is contextual, relational, functional, and insightful beyond anything I have learnt before. I am able to explain clearly why we practice certain movements, and why they yield the expected results in the body and mind, in a language that is accessible to my students and empowering for all. Each session allows for a lucid connection to the subconscious which opens up a flow of new insight. From holding one-off workshops about a particular theme, like reducing anger or recovering from addiction, to full series of events focused on healing trauma, managing stress or working with grief, I feel that my potential as an IOAS practitioner is boundless. Here is a short quotation from a client just after experiencing a full protocol: 'I have never seen this side of me before. I can’t thank you enough for this revelation’. I offer the highest recommendation for the Institute of Applied Somatics methods. You will not be disappointed in the delivery, the detail, and the impact these systems and protocols offer you and your clients. Any of the IOAS methods that you study will help you to change lives.

At the Institute of Applied Somatics, we have had the pleasure of training practitioners from all over the world. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner looking to expand your skillset or a newcomer eager to enter this dynamic field, our training provides the knowledge, resources, and tools you need to succeed.
Training with the IOAS exceeded my expectations and Andrea was an incredible mentor and facilitator on this journey. The focus on anatomy created a deep understanding of the process as it provided the theoretical structure, alongside the embodied experience, which supported me in creating better teaching points for my clients. The training was very experiential and allowed a lot of space for each practitioner to reflect on their own experience while actively listening to other group members. This created great case study examples and provided the 'trainee practitioners' with a lot of rich information to bring into their work. The dreamtime journeys are very powerful when combined with the somatic awareness exercises. I can honestly say that it has transformed my health and well-being and will profoundly impact my practice with others. The Somatic Psychology protocols brought me a powerful level of introspection as well as a lot of emotional release, leading to a positive improvement of my energy levels. I really became so mindful and aware of the smallest sensations within my body connecting them to my own inner wisdom. The individual journaling and group exploration at the end of the practices felt incredibly spiritual and truly safe. This was such a rich experience that I felt I had signed up for a retreat! Reading back on my journal entries feels surreal at times and I feel grateful for having had that sacred space. I really aspire to hold space for others like Andrea did for our group, he gave an incredible example of how to teach and facilitate to all students.
Jenny Fennessy
PhD Candidate, ADHD Researcher, Health and Well-being Specialist
Seeing the anatomical theory and then understanding how that anatomy worked in practice was particularly useful to me. It helped to embed the knowledge. The images used were stunning too! I found the process of exploring the connection between the knowledge of the body and the subconscious mind to be deeply relaxing. The movements we were taught stretched and exercised parts of me that hadn't been stretched or moved since I was a child. Physically, I feel like my lungs have greater capacity. Intellectually, I know my intuition is very accurate, and that's a wonderful tool to have at one's disposal. The Somatic Dreamtime approach is a great process too! Journalling, receiving messages from synchronicity, and sharing with the teacher' group made the messages from the subconscious become very, very clear to me. It's a wonderful process and I can't wait to teach it to others. I feel I can now create a more accurately tailored experience for my clients due to the skills I've developed in the programme.
Dr. Xina Gooding Broderick
Leadership Coach, Philanthropist
I loved the Nervous System Regulation Training. I found it provides a solid anatomical base, a big experiencial part, to feel the protocols and appreciate their effects on the mind-body system, and a wise and welcoming teacher. Andrea is a pearl, his knowledge and gentle manner are so special. I was looking for a breathwork training and I found many breathing techniques to help people, and myself, free their breath and regain a link to their intuition and subconscious mind: to ask for guidance, inspiration, and help, for everyday life tasks or big life changing decisions. Being a very active person I found most precious the "not-doing is an action" approach, and I started introducing Somatic Breathflow in almost all my Hatha yoga, Yoga Nidra, Mindfulness, and bodywork lessons. I highly recommend this training if you are looking for something to reconnect your body to your breathing and your soul to cultivate deep relaxation, softness and easiness in everyday life.
