Seattle School of Body-Psychotherapy

A Somatic Psychotherapy Training Program

Incorporating Core Energetics with contemporary therapies and, with permission, indigenous practices, students of SSBP's integrative certification program gain a strong foundation from which to organize their approach to clients. The result is as spiritual as it is psychological, opening the client's perception to the greater world around them as well as to their own unique offering which I call "Referencing From the Self".

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING

Aylee is a master at her craft.  Her ability to tune into the subtle psychological, emotional and energetic expression of each student/client is remarkable.  This is a learning-from-the-inside out process.  Doing my own Core Energetic session work with Aylee, as a requirement of the school training, has been some of the most profoundly impactful personal work I’ve done.  As a result, my ability to be truly present with myself, and with my own clients, has shifted significantly.  

Aylee provides such a safe, loving, and nurturing space combined with a no-nonsense attitude.  She carefully incorporates trauma theory and a “holding” for the student/client’s nervous system. She is careful to help students get the most out of their work at Seattle School of Body-Psychotherapy.

Seattle School of Body-Psychotherapy has been genuinely transformational for me. Aylee seamlessly combines her own centered wisdom with the profound teachings of Core Energetics, and the effect is powerful: in my cohort, we are all uniquely supported in the vulnerable, shaky process of gaining our own freedom, while simultaneously learning how to one day do the same for others. To anyone who feels called, I can't recommend it enough.

Aylee provided a safe environment in which to explore not so safe feelings. She clearly explained the developmental process that shapes our world view, and helped deconstruct and then reconstruct our story with new understanding and truth.

Aylee's commitment to understanding and teaching Core Energenics is evident in the healing that took place in the workshop I attended. She is masterful in understanding psychological healing and an excellent guide

I experienced a relieved  feeling, I am grateful than Aylee worked with me, I feel now that I am living my life more conscious, accepting who I am, taking care and listening my interior child. Aylee gave me the trust and confident  to work my energy and release trauma on my past life that does not let me to move forward.

I have never had a significant partner.  I went to healers, coaches and traditional therapists to change my limiting beliefs and unresouceful thinking, to open to my soul’s understanding.

But it is the work with Aylee and Core Energetics that has opened me to feel what is there, a profound fear of being with others. It is no mystery why I could not attract a partner; my system has been telegraphing fear.

My time at Seattle School of Body-Psychotherapy has helped to welcome me home to my body, allowed me to not be so tentative with others, and to not be afraid to feel own my feelings. Thank you.

Core Energetics has been utterly life transforming for me. It is the deepest and most comprehensive approach to healing I know of and the training at Seattle School of Body-Psychotherapy is one of the most rigorous and thorough learning experiences I have had. I feel like I am truly completing my healing and being deeply prepared to facilitate this work with clients.

The Find Your Joy workshop brought me a clarity I haven’t been able to find before.  It was amazing and I left feeling more myself then I have since I was a child.  I wish I could do the ongoing training- someday I will when my kids are older.  This workshop is so great- I recommend to anyone and everyone.  Aylee is wonderful and calming and healing while also so accepting of our internal pain- in the workshop the pain lessens and is replaced by joy.

For me, the Seattle School of Body-Psychotherapy's Find Your Joy workshop was a truly eye-opening and transformative experience. I had not previously explored somatic approaches to psychotherapy and this workshop was the perfect introduction. I went in with curiosity and left with so many new insights about myself, my relationships, and my path to healing.

Aylee is a fantastic facilitator and brings wonderful energy to group work, helping make people feel comfortable while also pushing us to discover new forms of self-knowledge. As an academic, I really appreciated how the workshop addressed both the theory and practice of core energetics. This experience completely changed my understanding of how to work with and through trauma and gave me important tools that I will continue to use in the years to come.
