FOR PROFESSIONALS

YOTHERA METHOD FACILITATOR TRAINING

Bring Yothera® into Your Work with Your Clients

SELF-PACED PROGRAM

Who is Yothera Method Facilitator Training for?

Designed to offer therapists and helping professionals a totally new way to empower and express themselves within their profession, as well as learning a new way to empower their clients beyond talk therapy alone.

The Yothera Method frees individuals from the deeply-rooted, unconscious patterns that inhibit them from living their most authentic life, and feeling truly alive. It gives them full access to their unique gifts, aligns them with their purpose, and supports them in their most authentic self expression.

Yothera Method Facilitator Training is for:

Therapists and helping professionals who are committed to inner-personal development and holistic healing, and also committed to supporting their clients through a similar journey
Therapists who have tried traditional therapy approaches but feel there is something missing for them, and seek a more authentic and holistic approach to their work
Therapists who have tried traditional therapy approaches but feel there is something missing for them, and seek a more authentic and holistic approach to their work
Therapists who are open to trying a new method of therapy that involves more of the subconscious mind, body, spirit, and developing their own intuition, as well as encouraging their clients to do the same.

Yothera Method offers helping and healing professionals a new approach to their work, that changes the whole perspective of what it means to seek therapy in the first place.

Traditional therapy teaches us to work with the mind alone -- with little to no acknowledgement of the body, soul, or intuition of the individual. With such a narrow perspective, we are not truly being of best service to ourselves and those we work with.

Helping and healing professionals who receive training and implement the Yothera Method in their work, feel more authentic to express their own unique talents and gifts with clients, as well as support their clients in doing the same in their own lives.

Yothera Method supports you in implementing a more holistic approach in your profession, to decrease burn out and compassion fatigue, and increase joy, playfulness, intuition, and authenticity into your unique service in the world.

START YOUR JOURNEY

This program explores the three layers of the mind, the conscious, unconscious, and collective unconscious, drawing on foundational work from Carl Jung and Freud.

Participants will study defense mechanisms, ego resistance, archetypes, and shadow work, learning how these dynamics shape personal narratives and influence the healing process. Through experiential practices, students will develop therapeutic approaches for helping clients move beyond mental constructs and access deeper healing through the body.

Graduates will be prepared to guide clients in transforming old narratives into embodied, intuitive new stories, and to hold safe, grounded space for integration.

Phase 1: The Mind

In this weekend Phase 1 workshop, students will be studying the 3 layers of the mind including the conscious, unconscious, and collective unconscious according to psychologists such as Carl Jung.

Students will study and learn about defense mechanisms, cognitive dissonance, and natural resistances of the ego according to Freud. They will be working with the archetypes, shadow work, and integrating hidden blind spots that get in the way of our healing and growth.

Students will be practicing specific methods for bringing this work into the work that they do in the world, as well as treatment methods that are therapeutic in assisting their own clients to move through the breakdown of mental constructs and barriers.

Students will learn how to incorporate yoga therapy, focused mindfulness and other tools including intuitive movement to assist clients in healing and accessing information from a balanced and regulated nervous system.

Phase 2: In-Bodiment

In Phase 2, participants learn how the unconscious mind speaks through the body and sensations, and expresses it’s language through the body. Participants also explore key emotions that play a vital role in the transformation process, internal and external resourcing, heart coherence practices, and focused mindfulness to bring into their sessions with clients.

Participants learn how to use embodied practices with their clients to tap into the wisdom of their bodies, in a therapeutic way, to connect them to their own intuition. In Phase 2, participants will learn how to support their own clients in being more embodied, grounded, and use their breath in a way that supports their healing. Participants will learn the basics of focused mindfulness practices, along with movement therapy approaches, therapeutic breathwork, and other ways to incorporate embodiment practices into therapeutic settings.

Participants will learn to support their clients in connecting to body sensations, senses, and emotions in an intuitive way that allows us to transform old mind stories into the essence of our new story/narrative that we access through the body. Participants will learn writing, speaking, and energetic practices that can connect their clients more to the wisdom of their energy and body.

Grounding and visualization practices, partner practices, and attunement that anchors clients more into the present moment and their bodies.

Phase 3: The Elixir- Integration

In Phase 3, participants practice sharing their new stories with the group, witnessing and being witnessed through unconditional love and compassion. Participants learn attunement skills to bring into their work with clients, and ways to assist their clients with integration practices to anchor their new story into their daily life.

In Phase 3, participants learn how to create and hold therapeutic space for integration, and their client’s sharing of their new stories. Participants learn how to guide their clients through practices of embodied listening, present-focused dialogue, and creating safe space.

Participants will also learn ethical practices around embodied therapeutic practices, and using spirituality in a therapeutic setting. Participants will have the opportunity to practice and demonstrate their ability to hold safe space and ethical boundaries.

Participants will learn how to move forward in a therapeutic way with clients who wish to continue working together after Phase 3 is completed.

See what other students have to say about the program!

"This training was excellent. Very rich and well-thought out. Excellent curriculum.

This work was deeply impactful and would be useful for anyone who is in a helping profession. As a licensed clinical social worker and embodiment practitioner, this program gave a practical framework for bringing more of myself to the work I do with clients in a real and tangible way. Jess's delivery style and presence was aligned with what she was teaching. She modeled how to hold the container, trusted that the participants had a wealth of knowledge and knowing already inside and supported the growth process, so that we can do the same with our clients."

Heather Riley, LICSW, MSW, MA

"I would highly recommend this offering to anyone. Whether to enhance your knowledge in somatic therapy for the benefit of your profession or for a personal transformation, this course will absolutely open parts of you in ways you didn't have eyes on before. Jessica is not only incredibly knowledgeable in the field, but equally (if not more importantly in my opinion) such an embodied intuitive guide and her attention she provides to each individual within the container is held with so much love and care. I am so honored to have found a mentor that holds so much integrity and sacredness in what she shares with those who are willing to step forward."

Certified Trauma-informed Somatic Breathwork Facilitator

"Jess, this training was absolutely incredible and I am so excited to keep doing the work on myself as well as bringing this to clients.
Thank you!"

"This training has an amazing ability to hold safe space to delve deep within ourselves AND be witnessed by others. The space resembles what it would be like in a profession setting, so that participants see, feel, and hear from the perspective of client and professional. I highly recommend any of Jess's courses to better understand yourself and others."

"The Yothera Method is a wonderful new approach to deep healing. The combination of processes and methodology helped me to find more understanding of my own healing as well as those of my clients. I am very grateful for the new insights of how the tracking of the eyes can show where things are still being storied in the body and how old beliefs and stories can be rewritten through movement. I highly recommend this training to anyone who is facilitating a space for others to find healing in themselves."

"Best training ever! I cannot express my deep gratitude for your courage and trailblazing this path. From the bottom of my soul. Thank you.

Incredible experience! This is hands down the most impactful training I've ever had. It will undoubtedly change my career and my life for the better."

"A beautifully crafted course. Made with heart and soul. Being able to fully immerse yourself in this work is life changing."

"I immensely enjoyed this course. It was supportive for me as an individual and as a practitioner.

I love the philosophy that "we can only take clients as far as we have gone ourselves." This course deeply aligns with this idea in that it is supportive to the student as person, practitioner, channel, and professional."
