THE SCIENCE BEHIND INTUITION

As somatic professionals, we rely on intuition constantly, yet many of us hesitate to name it.

Many of us who work through touch, movement or presence have had moments that feel beyond explanation. We sense something shift, we respond, and it works.

Still, it can feel uneasy when a client asks why we’re doing something and the only honest answer is that it “simply felt right”.

Have you ever struggled to explain what happens in your sessions or classes?

Intuition often shows up as a quiet sense of knowing before you know why. For somatic and health professionals, this is part of the job.

You may have experienced it when:

You change your plans mid-exercise without knowing why, and the group later says it was exactly what they needed.
You sense unsettled energy in the room, decide to pause, and suddenly everyone settles with you.
You notice a subtle shift in a client’s presence, though you couldn’t say how you know.
Your hands are drawn to a new place while listening through touch.
You move or dance and it feels as if the space itself is guiding you.
You improvise and the timing feels too perfect to be coincidence.

This Advanced Training explores the role of intuition in professional practice:

Why those sudden insights often prove right
How somatic approaches strengthen this capacity
How understanding the science behind it can help you support your clients and patients with greater clarity and confidence.

A guided learning experience

This Advanced Training was created by practitioners and researchers who have spent years bridging neuroscience and somatic education. We translate complex science into tools you can apply in your practice.

Who is it for?

This Advanced Training is designed as a guided experience for:

health professionals

somatic educators

therapists

movement teachers

And anyone interested in understanding why they do what they do, how it works for them and their clients, and how to respond when asked: “but how do you know?”

THE SCIENCE BEHIND INTUITION

What you will learn:

Through the lens of modern neuroscience, we will explore questions such as:

What is intuition?
Why is it so central to somatic work?
Can it be measured scientifically?
What are the different ways we can access it?
How does the brain learn intuition?
Why do some people rely on it more than others?
Why do we feel intuition in our bodies?
How do somatic practices influence it?
And when should we trust it — or think twice?

After this training, you’ll understand what happens in those moments when you ‘just know’ — and how to trust and explain it to others with confidence.

Who we are

We’re Tim and Sebastian—PhD-level neuroscientists and longtime somatic practitioners.

Our backgrounds span decades of research in sensorimotor neuroscience, postural control, and the autonomic nervous system. At the same time, we’ve spent years immersed in somatic practices such as the Alexander Technique and Contact Improvisation.

We are the founders of the Science of Somatics. This advanced training is a guided learning experience created by us, practitioners and researchers with long-standing experience bridging neuroscience and somatic education, translating complex science into tools you can apply immediately.

It brings together the latest research in neuroscience and the lived experience of somatic educators, therapists and health professionals worldwide.

Our approach combines accurate, up-to-date peer-reviewed research with examples that connect directly to your professional practice.

Every session is designed to be practical, relevant and to encourage real professional dialogue and exchange.

You’ll be joining a group of practitioners, teachers and health professionals who are also refining how they understand and communicate intuition in their work.
