The School of Sovereign Touch

1:1 Mentorship and Supervision

Navigating Your Bodywork and Trauma Informed Touch Practice

Over the years I have had many bodyworkers and women's health practitioners come to me for mentorship and a desire to explore and understand the ways I hold space for touch healing. These mentorships have been some of my favorite ways to connect, remembering the ancient wisdom of apprenticeship-learning mastery through collaboration and play.

This offering is also inspired by my colleagues and the support systems in the psychotherapy world of supervision.

1:1 session work can often feel isolating as a new and seasoned practitioner. Especially in working with trauma, it deeply important to have spaces to collaborate, ask questions, learn and practice new techniques to support your clients.

Teaching and mentoring are a passion of mine and I am so excited to have these containers for other practitioners--there is such a deep need for authentic support in our community at this times. Touch Practitioners hold a very key role in the collective healing we are going through as a collective, and the need for support, for both community and practitioners, has never been greater.

What is Sovereign Touch Bodywork?

Sovereign Touch Bodywork is based upon the idea that true healing and unwind comes when we approach the body without agenda. When we remember that the body is already wise and inherently trying to orient towards balance. Our purpose as touch-workers is not to tell the body (or our clients) what is best/right/wrong, but to listen, and initiate and support clients into hearing the whispers and language of the body expressing its needs.

Every body is different. No two sessions are the same.

Who are mentorships for?

These containers are available for bodyworkers (Massage Therapist, PTs, Cranial Sacral Practitioners etc) and women's health practitioner (coaches, herbalists, acupuncturists, etc) who want direct supervision with Sydney.

Most touch practitioners are kinesthetic learner or learn through touch. Sydney’s philosophy to mentorship is based not only on learning techniques and listening touch skills, but in the power of lived experience and one’s own inner wisdom.

The deeper you’ve experienced yourself and the work, the deeper you’ll be able to move and hold clients in their own depths.

Mentorships include coaching, hand on touch sessions and private messaging to support all questions and exploration paths.

Mentorships meet 2x per month for 6 months.

How it WORKS

Season 1

The first three months of our time together is about your experience of the work. To hold clients in the philosophies of Sovereign Touch Bodywork, you first must experience them in your own body.

Sessions are 2 hours

  • Sovereign Touch Bodywork is relational bodywork. We take this first season together to develop our own relationship. And for you to experience a new level of your own body awareness.

  • How do we start to truly move out of the mind and into the felt sense of the body?

    Many clients who come for Sovereign Touch are seeking more than pain relief. They are seeking someone who will guide them back into the visceral body—into being able to feel themselves from tissues to soul. The subtle body has to be experienced to be tracked

  • Sydney’s teaching methodology is about mentoring touch workers into their own integrity and value system

    As a touch worker it is vital that we also receiving touchwork for integration and expansion. Healing practitioners are human. We carry our own stories and wounds and in the regular upkeep of our own physical and subtle body we can show up in deeper integrity and without agenda for our clients
