Confident Integration and Professional Roadmap
“I really appreciated how experiential the Embodied Clinician training was. Angela provided clear, grounded explanations of why we use somatic practices, along with practical, immediately usable tools for sessions. She intentionally built in time to practice the somatic techniques during the training, which made the learning feel embodied rather than theoretical.”
- Katie LPC, RYT -
If you're looking for a way to bring embodiment into your current practice for yourself or your clients this course is a fantastic option. There is a lot of noise when it comes to nervous system regulation and somatics and this course gives not only what do do but the why and the specific use cases. This course has already changed my clinical work for the better.

-Gina LCSW -
"This was a great workshop to go beyond the cognitive work! Every therapist who works with body image and EDs should take this" workshop!"
-Liz RD -
"AP Counseling's Compassion Circle could not have come at a better time in my life. It has been immensely helpful to my own mental health. Angela has such heart for others and it shows in the way she prepares for and shows up for each Sangha. Knowing I have a safe space to process with others and a time that is just" for me to breathe, meditate, and move is extremely relieving each month."
-Haliel RYT-
"You will receive extremely useful information to help guide educate yourself and be able to pass that on to your clients"

Many are trained in talk therapy, and many in movement, but few are taught how to weave the two together.
My goal is to help you move beyond traditional talk therapy and into a more holistic, body led approach giving you the tools to support clients through their most nuanced healing journeys while maintaining your own clinical groundedness.

I created the Academy because I saw a gap in clinical education
