Become a Somatic Movement Therapist.

Somatic Movement Therapy involves working with clients to improve physical function and holistic expression in movement and life. The key goals of Martha Eddy's SOMAction Movement Therapy Training (SMTT) are embedded in Eddy's "cycle of intervention" which is a therapeutic model of effecting change in health and lifestyle through observation, support and exploration. Martha Eddy and other renowned faculty teach SMTT through Moving On Center in California, in Massachusetts, and in NYC. Eddy has carefully combined principles of Body-Mind Centering© (BMC) and Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) as well as her own to create a practical approach to individualized therapeutic practice and performance enhancement. This program teaches how to use Eddy's systems of Dynamics of Touch©, Dynamic Movement, Dynamic Health© and Dynamic Embodiment©. Discussion also centers on larger global issues that limit peace and community building, and how to foster creative solutions to engage in community wellness. The SMTT is an approved training program of the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association.

SMTT students can also gain academic credits in Somatic Psychology or Interdisciplinary graduate studies if matriculated with Santa Barbara Graduate Institute and the State University of New York/Empire State College.
