More than a decade on, Essential Somatics® has grown into one of the top training schools for students wanting to learn Clinical Somatic Education (in the style of Thomas Hanna). ES is one of only a few schools offering in-person training for hands-on clinical sessions, a hugely important aspect of this work. In order to deliver this diverse programme, Martha has gathered a teaching team of highly skilled and devoted Clinical Somatic Educators. Today ES offers introductory courses, certification training in Essential Somatics Movement and Clinical Somatic Education, embodied movement for corporate leadership, and multi-day retreats.

The teachings of Essential Somatics were originally founded in the work of Thomas Hanna and Moshe Feldenkrais, but have evolved to incorporate perspectives from trauma research, ontological coaching, and developmental movement; as the Soma develops, so does Essential Somatics. What remains constant is the highest caliber of instruction from teachers who themselves continue to learn and grow so they can help others reverse the effects of chronic stress and become the best possible version of themselves.
