 SOMATIC ALIGNMENT

PRACTITIONER TRAINING

7th to 11th of SEPTEMBER 2026 
Ontario - Canada
(Durham Region)
More than 50 hours of in depth practice
(Somatic Alignment is expanding to Canada, and we’re excited to bring this work to a new community.)

This training offers a deep and immersive journey into somatic therapy, body de-armouring, nervous system regulation, and the restoration of breath and energy flow throughout the body. Throughout the course, you will gain both theoretical understanding and extensive hands-on practice in safely releasing emotional, physical, and energetic trauma, as well as chronic tension, protective blockages, and pain. All practices are approached in a trauma-informed, supportive, and embodied way, prioritizing safety, regulation, and integration.
 

As you progress through the training, you will develop refined psychosomatic awareness through the lens of Polyvagal Theory, combined with somatic and energetic practices. This approach will enable you to recognize held somatic patterns, emotional contractions, and nervous system imprints within your clients’ bodies. You will gain practical tools to support deep regulation, soften protective holding, facilitate emotional release, and guide clients toward a state of greater alignment, coherence, and embodied presence.
 

By integrating precise techniques such as trigger point work, dynamic somatic movement, conscious breathwork, energy-based therapy, and somatic de-armouring, you will cultivate a comprehensive body-based practice. This methodology allows you to safely address stored stress responses, unresolved emotional experiences, and past trauma held within the tissues, supporting long-term regulation, resilience, and healing through the body.

PROGRAM LEAD TEACHER

The Somatic Alignment Training in Canada is led by Jeannie Dhun, a Manual Osteopath holding a Doctor of Osteopathy degree from Spain, as well as a nurse, craniosacral therapist, and energy medicine practitioner with over 25 years of clinical experience working with the body and nervous system.
 

Jeannie is the founder of Osteogenie, a successful integrative clinic in Whitby, Ontario, where she blends evidence-informed therapeutic methods with holistic and somatic principles to support healing across physical, emotional, and energetic dimensions.

Alongside her clinical work, teaching has become a meaningful way for Jeannie to share this approach more broadly. This training reflects the same depth, care, and clinical integrity that defines her one-to-one practice.
 

As a Somatic Alignment Master Facilitator and Teacher, Jeannie has played a central role in the development and refinement of the Somatic Alignment modality, working closely with its founders, Eli and Santi. Her work is rooted in the understanding that healing emerges through safety, connection, regulation, and embodied presence—honoring the body’s innate capacity to restore balance.
