The School of Sovereign Touch

1:1 and 2:1 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 mentorship Sessions for?

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

How it WORKS

Most touch practitioners are kinesthetic learners (learn through touch). Mentorships include coaching, hand on touch sessions and private messaging to support all questions and exploration paths.

Mentorships meet monthly for 3-12 months.

  • We work together to identify your identity as a bodyworker. Who you serve, where your passion lies, and how you want to show up in service.

  • We will identify all that you have to offer.

    What tools and skills do you already have mastery?

    From this place of honoring where you excel, we will also expose you to tools and skills that can complement and enhance the quality of what you already do best.

  • Together we will work to sharpen your existing tools and add the missing elements so that you can hold an even richer space for clients.

    Topics of exploration can include—

    ☽ Expand Your Listening Touch Skills

    ☽ Strengthen your confidence in holding space for emotional somatic movement

    ☽ Deepen your understanding of female body anatomy and physiology

    ☽ Practice Your Hands on Skills with direct feedback

What Do Sessions Look Like

Each container is created specifically for the individual. For most this includes a mix of 1:1 and 2:1 sessions.

  • is for the practitioner looking for individualized support. This can look like learning new touch techniques (inter-oral work, pelvic touch techniques, energy work and trauma integration) or support in business education and implementation.

    These are a pick-your brain type of sessions and include both coaching and touch session time.

  • is for the practitioners looking for group support or direct support with clients and case studies.

    2:1 sessions can look like two students wanting to learn new techniques and having group sessions to play and be supervised.

    It can also look like one student and a client (actual client or practice client) with hands on guidance from Sydney.
