WHAT THEY SAY
BODY KEYS
Body Keys are breath-and-movement postures that loosen the places where old, stuck emotion is still being held — without you having to name it, think about it, or direct it.
DYNAMIC
MEDITATION
Dynamic Meditation is how you learn to stay with yourself unconditionally once the body is open.
By bringing precise attention to raw sensation without the story wrapped around it, what was unbearable becomes witnessable.
And what you can witness without judgment no longer has power over your body.
SOMATIC
MOVEMENT
Somatic Movement is where the body takes over. The protective layer — the "I'm fine, everything's okay" veneer that keeps real processing from happening — breaks open first, allowing movement to become unscripted.
The felt sense leads, the past starts to leave, and emotion and memory begin to disentangle.
POSITIVE
AFIRMATIONS
Positive Affirmations land in the gap that's opened up — things you wish the world would tell you, said at exactly the moment you can actually hear them.
TRANCE
DANCE
Trance Dance is where identity falls away until there is no story, no performance, just movement itself.
Practitioners describe what comes through as clarity, wholeness, and finally touching the part of themselves that nothing could reach.
Unprocessed emotions leave a measurable imprint within us:
depression, addiction, anxiety, disrupted sleep, compromised immunity, digestive illness, relational rupture, and the chronic diseases that now define the Western health crisis.
The Method's ARCHITECTURE WAS DEVELOPED TO SUPPORT this UNDERSERVED NEED IN THE BODY.
Together, these elements generate a deep, rhythmic flow of energy that induces altered states of consciousness, promoting the natural release of pent-up emotions and clearing lingering emotional baggage.
Some describe the SAH Method as an embodied ritual, a portal to the unseen, or a dance with the mysteries beyond.
For others, it's a way to sweat their prayers—an intense, spiritual workout that clears emotional residue and awakens deeper truths.
But for everyone who practices, Somatic Activated Healing™ offers a transformative invitation to return to the body and experience whole-being healing.
Our practice bridges the tangible and intangible, guiding you to dance with the mysteries beyond while grounding you in the profound wisdom of your own body.
GRADUATE SUCCESS STORIES
REAL GRADS, REAL LIVES, REAL CHANGE.
We surveyed our graduates and asked them to tell their stories. Here's what they said.
Their
Their healing
became
career.
BIANCA
Bianca came to the Somatic Activated Healing Method™ as a breathwork facilitator, grinding a 60-hour corporate week on the side, too scared to go all in. Shortly after certifying, her company shut down. She turned down every corporate offer that followed.
"The work I did through the Somatic Activated Healing Method gave me the confidence and the deep trust of what I was meant here for. A year later, I am a full-time entrepreneur."
EVE
Eve was laid off as part of a workforce reduction after 25 years in corporate marketing. She certified in the SAH Method™, built a practice from scratch, and has now facilitated over 30 classes and 1:1 sessions. One client with fibromyalgia reduced her chronic pain. Another made peace with her estranged father.
"I have found my calling."
They brought it into their clinical work and upleveled their offerings.
ERICA
Erica came from social work and people operations, burned out from holding space for others while feeling disconnected from her own body. After certification with us, she developed a somatic workplace framework called RESET and brought it into hospitals, facilitated with case managers who normally skip optional sessions.
"Many participants shared they didn't realize how much tension they were carrying until they paused long enough to notice their bodies."
GINA
Gina came in as a somatic coach who knew how to hold space, but not how to help people move through what was stuck in their bodies at a physiological level. The SAH Method™ training filled that gap. She's now running a weekly class at a healing studio in Orange County, launching women's wellness retreats, and hearing things from students she'd never heard before.
"I can feel love for myself without any attachment to other people's validation."
They became
community changemakers.
TRITIA
Tritia started the training three months after her father died in front of her, having just lost her house, her income, and her savings. She went on to open a 200-person retreat with a SAH Method™ workshop and teach at the California Women's Institute State Prison.
"Many people who attended my workshops talked about never having been with themselves in a way they were when doing the method with me."
dahlia
Dahlia was an educator and restorative justice practitioner who started the training while recovering from ACL surgery. She wove the method into her new business, Liberated Learning, and brings it to schools, retreats, and underserved youth.
"Becoming a certified Somatic Activated Healing Method teacher helped me be free."
It changed how they move through their own life.
KYLEE
Kylee works in higher education in Utah and came in carrying anger, grief, and a sadness she couldn't shake. She used to have panic attacks weekly, often while driving. By the time she completed the training, they had almost entirely stopped.
"2024 Kylee would've been fine hiding in the shadows. Me now — she's the version of myself that I deserve. That my kids deserve."
GEMMA
Gemma is a kinesiologist in Australia who lost a family member to suicide after certifying.
"I experienced huge waves of feeling, and a lot of the time I was able to not get lost in story — I had the space to feel, to shake, to wail, and to hold my loved ones in this same way. This is priceless."

WHAT THEY SAY
kristi
“The SAH Method Teacher Training was beyond anything I ever imagined it would be.
The way in which the program is taught to self-heal while learning how to help others at the same time is amazing.
I learned a LOT about myself and my own personal challenges and then how to help others through this method.
There was so much wisdom to be gained I am grateful for the ability to continuously revisit.
Beyond that, the friendships and like-mindedness of our group of practitioners feels so good and everlasting!”
astrid
“I can truly say I am beyond happy that I invested in myself like I did with this training.
I knew when I was signing up that this was for me and for my highest good--what I didn't know was that I was going to heal in all the levels that couldn't imagine.
I didn't realize how much emotional pain my body was in.
It unleashed me, it broke me free, it made me change the narrative. It was simply a unique healing experience. I am beyond grateful to the beautiful SAH.
I was so resistant to his teaching initially and now I can't imagine someone else leading and guiding me like hE did.”
sophia
"When I started this training, I was experiencing self esteem issues, catastrophizing, moments of spiraling, and being plagued by a pit of despair.
These are all things I wrote in the notes on my phone.
Now my notes say things like "just because I'm afraid, doesn't mean it will happen" and "my feelings are not the whole truth."
My life has been changed for the better. Not only do I have the tools to help myself in dark moments now, I also feel a greater sense of purpose than ever before knowing that I can help people in ways that they want and need.
The amazingly powerful Sah Method and the deeply wise teachings of Sah D'Simone are blessings that will be with me, guiding me, for the.rest.of.my.life."
