Althea Fera Wellness
Trauma- INformed Massage Therapy
6 Week Masterclass
Embodied Training for Massage Therapists and Bodyworkers Who Want to Support the Whole Person- Not Just the Muscles.
You can feel the emotion under the surface, but you just don't feel confident in how to approach it safely
Your clients tell you that they know their pain is caused by stress and stuck trauma or emotions
You desire to create a safe space for your clients and to shift out of surface level transactional sessions and into deeper healing
Is this Training Right for you?
✔ You’ve ever felt stuck when a client had an emotional release (crying, laughing, getting angry, or maybe even shutting down)
✔ You’ve sensed trauma in the body but weren’t sure how to respond
✔ You notice your clients holding on, even when they say they're relaxed
✔ You want to build strong referral relationships with therapists, counselors, or other practitioners
✔ You want to feel more grounded, not drained, after sessions
✔ You want your sessions to deepen your clients' healing, and not just feel like a transactional exchange

You don’t have to be a therapist to be trauma-informed.
You just need the training to respond with clarity and care.
We all know the body holds stress, trauma, and unresolved emotion—but what do we do when it surfaces during a session?
Even when we’re not intentionally working with trauma, bringing awareness to tension and pain can stir up unexpected responses: big emotions, old memories, or nervous system shifts that can catch both client and practitioner off guard.
That’s why it’s so valuable to have the tools to support regulation—for both your client and yourself.
When we know how to gently hold a safe, grounded container, our clients can begin to release long-held emotions without being retraumatized, without needing to relive the story, and with a growing sense of self-trust and empowerment.

TESTIMONIAL
I spent a lovely hour and a half with Beth and was completely blown away by the work she does. Her bodywork and nervous system reset left me feeling deeply calm, energized, and creatively inspired. The moment she touched me, a wave of relaxation washed over my entire body. Her presence is grounding and nurturing, and I left her treatment room feeling completely rejuvenated. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly unique and restorative full-body experience.

Beth Switt, CMT
Certified Massage therapist, Somatic Pracitioner, Wellness coach
Hey, I’m Beth.
I’ve been in the health and wellness world since 2011, beginning my journey teaching yoga, doing personal training, and leading group classes. I ran a corporate wellness center, worked alongside a chiropractor, and found my true calling in massage therapy—starting in 2015.
Over the years, I’ve continued to gather tools and training that deepened my work. My sessions evolved into something more than just massage: they became safe, grounded spaces for deep nervous system support, emotional release, and real transformation.
But there was something missing in our field.
So many massage therapists (my past self included) have felt their clients’ deeper emotional pain—without knowing how to hold it. We weren’t taught how to navigate trauma, big emotions, or nervous system overwhelm. We were told to “stay in our lane,” but never shown how to in ethical, embodied ways, without just leaving our clients alone in this journey.
This training is the beginning of the path I wish I’d had.
It’s for the massage therapist who wants to meet their clients more fully, safely, and skillfully. It’s for the practitioner who knows there’s more to this work—and wants the tools to walk that path with clarity and care.
$747
valued at $1997
This type of embodied, trauma-informed education would easily cost $1997+ in most advanced somatic training programs.
But this training is designed to be accessible—and it’s just $750.

FAQ
What’s the format of the course?
This is a live, immersive training offered both online (via Zoom) and occasionally in person. It includes a mix of teaching, guided somatic practices, reflection, and real-world case discussion.
You’ll receive recordings of all sessions, plus handouts and scripts, so you can revisit and integrate at your own pace.
Do I need to attend live?
Live attendance is strongly encouraged to get the most out of the experience—especially for the practice and Q&A portions. That said, we understand life happens. You’ll have access to the recordings, and can still participate in reflective journaling or practice prompts asynchronously.
How will this training help my massage practice grow?
This training helps you:
It’s a beautiful way to expand your impact without taking on more hours or draining your energy.
Who is this for?
This is for massage therapists (certified or in the process of certification)and other adjacent practitioners (energy workers, somatic practitioners, etc.) who want to expand their skills in nervous system support, trauma sensitivity, and integrative healing work. Whether you’re interested in working more deeply with trauma or just want to feel more confident when big emotions arise—this is for you.
Do I need previous trauma or Somatics training to join?
Nope. We’ll start with the foundations and build from there. This training is accessible, grounded, and designed to support both beginners and experienced practitioners looking to deepen their understanding.
Will I be certified as a trauma-informed practitioner after this?
While this training gives you trauma-informed tools and a strong foundation, it is not a formal certification program (yet). It’s designed to complement your existing licensure and deepen your capacity—not to replace therapeutic credentials. A certification path may be available in the future through the Sacred Bodywork Pathway.
Are payment plans available?
Yes! We offer flexible payment plans to make this training more accessible. You'll see those options at checkout.
How long do I have access to the materials?
You’ll receive lifetime access to all course materials and replays. This means you can return to the tools and teachings as often as needed.
What if I have more questions or need support?
We’re here for you! Just email [email protected] and we’ll get back to you within 48 hours. You’re also welcome to reach out via Instagram DM if that’s easier.
And as always, We are each the medicine. The tools we need are already within us.
