Learn how to work smarter, not harder, in sessions and leave sessions regulated and rejuvenated

This training is for you if:

You are a psychotherapist who focuses on cognitive and behavioral interventions and are looking to learn somatics to offer your clients an effective and holistic approach to healing

You are a somatic psychotherapist who would like to take the next step and begin integrating movement and yoga into your practice

You are a therapist experiencing burn out, compassion fatigue and/or imposter syndrome and you’d like to reinvent your practice and support your own healing as you grow professionally

You are a graduate psychotherapy student who is ready to become versed in interventions that truly work and leave you and clients feeling transformed after session

Therapists who train with Nityda share:

  • Relief from burnout, as you learn somatic approaches to let the client’s body and inner wisdom lead the way toward healing.

  • Increased confidence in your therapeutic skills, as you gain an increased understanding for how trauma is held within the body and what the body needs to liberate it, mind-body-heart-spirit.

  • Autonomy in your work and career, as you heal and liberate imposter syndrome, self-doubt, shame, and the barriers to freedom and success in your career.

  • Invigoration in your practice, as you learn techniques from yoga science, The Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method®, Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), and Somatic Experiencing (SE).

  • Belonging to a community of innovators, change makers, and heart-centered entrepreneurs making trauma-healing more accessible worldwide.

  • Catharsis and healing in your own personal journey through the parallel process of svadhyaya (self-study), that Nityda offers.

What trainees are saying about Nityda:

“Nityda is an incredible clinician and training facilitator. She opened up parts of me that I didn’t even know were there. She made a fat, therapist of color feel very safe and seen in a training that I am so often outnumbered in. Her consistent references to people of culture and debunking of myths around western medicine and yogic practices was refreshing and made me feel like this was for me within the first hour of the training. She tacked the topics head on and set firm boundaries to create a safe and supportive experience.”

“Nityda is a true mastermind and a beautiful person, both inside and out. I deeply appreciate her vast knowledge and her loving spirit. Her offerings not only teach and inspire but also plant seeds that blossom at just the right moments. She doesn’t just impart knowledge; she invites her trainees to explore themselves beyond the training and to step into the role of a teacher as well.”

Cadrtelia Kennedy, LPC, TCYM, SEP

“Nityda changed my heart. She helped me to see myself and the traumas I have experienced in a new light and access parts of myself that I was not able to access before. Because of the knowledge and insight gained from this training and Nityda’s expertise, I can now approach my clients in new ways and with deeper insights into their recovery process and even my own. I would happily take this exact same training again because it did so much for my head and my heart, which all serves to make me a better clinician.”

Sonia Ross, LCSW, TCYM

Owner of Full Circle Therapy Services

“Nityda is a Healer’s Healer, and this training does what so few actually accomplish: it holds space for both our own emotional breakthroughs as practitioners while teaching techniques that support all seasons of a client’s healing journey.”
