As we enter the fourth year of our Hakomi-Informed Somatic Coaching program, we are delighted to welcome a new cohort of coaches seeking to deepen their presence, strengthen their skills, and bring a more embodied, compassionate approach to their work.
Rooted in the principles of the Hakomi Method, this experiential training invites coaches to move beyond the content of a conversation and become more attuned to the subtle ways the body, emotions, and deeply held beliefs shape our experience. Through mindfulness, curiosity, and relational presence, participants learn to create space for greater self-discovery, choice, and meaningful change.
Whether you’re an experienced coach or beginning to integrate somatic approaches into your practice, this program offers a rich opportunity for professional growth, experiential learning, and connection with a community of like-minded practitioners.
Applications are open for our January 2027 cohort and we invite you to explore the program and discover what this approach can bring to your coaching practice.
________
Hakomi-Informed Somatic Coaching (HiSC) is a professional training that integrates core Hakomi methodology into a coaching framework. The HiSC Program offers a foundational Program in the principles, theories, and basic techniques of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy as applied to the coaching field. The HiSC Program is a specialized coaching program and is considered continuing coach education (CCE) by the International Coach Federation (ICF).
This online training focuses on developing mindful and somatic awareness practices to deepen the client’s personal process. You will enhance both your presence and your skillset as a transformational coach. Participants will expand their relational skills through Hakomi methods that gently but powerfully invite emotional self-discovery. Supported by the coach, clients will engage in a cycle of transformation towards clarity, action, and deeper satisfaction in their work and in their lives. This training is suited for established coaches as well as new coaches wanting to train in somatics and mindfulness.
The HiSC Program is designed for coaches and is not a mental health training for psychotherapists or other licensed or registered mental health professionals. Coaching participants understand that using the full Hakomi method of psychotherapy requires ongoing study and appropriate professional credentials to offer psychotherapy or counseling in the person’s region.
The HiSC program is also not a pathway to certification in Hakomi. Hakomi Certification requires completing a Hakomi Training and getting subsequent mentoring and review by Hakomi trainers. At this time, the Hakomi Institute does not endorse titles such as Hakomi Coach. A HiSC graduate who successfully completes the program may refer to themselves as a “Graduate of the Hakomi-Informed Somatic Coaching program.”
“The coaching program was so empowering for me, and as a result, empowering for my clients. I feel much more confident about the safe space I’m providing my clients, and about how I can meet them in their present moment in a truly supportive manner.” – 2025 Participant
