Who is it for
For practitioners who want to bridge experience and understanding.
-
Somatic practitioners and educators seeking to articulate and expand their understanding of embodied processes.
-
Manual and movement therapists seeking clearer scientific frameworks for how somatic approaches affect movement, posture, and pain.
-
Mental health workers interested in the relation between somatics, emotion, and therapeutic change.
-
Clinicians (e.g. physio-therapists, nurses, physicians) who wish to integrate somatic insights into clinical contexts.
-
Researchers and educators exploring the intersection between lived experience and scientific understanding.
I think about the material literally constantly...
It has left a lasting impression on my thinking, my teaching, my work
Petrea Warneck
Alexander Technique / Musician
It's been one of the best learning experiences I've participated in
and I feel I'm now able to integrate knowledge with experience.
Anna Condos
Feldenkrais Method
This is a fascinating, informative, inspiring, and enriching course for all somatic practitioners,
and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Sara Ware
Alexander Technique
This was an excellent and thorough introduction to aspects of neuroscience that address somatic processes. The research underlying the presentations is the most up-to-date, and Tim and Sebastian are incredibly generous with their knowledge and ideas. Some of their conclusions are extremely interesting and relevant to the work of many somatic practitioners. The weekly discussions were richest of all.

Update the science behind your practice
We translate complex science into practical insights. Our learning experiences connect modern science with somatic education, supporting professionals in deepening their understanding and communicating the value of their practice with clarity and confidence.
We've done the research so you can focus on your practice.
The Science of Somatics Team
We are Tim Cacciatore and Sebastian Zahler: neuroscientists, somatic practitioners, and founders of Science of Somatics.
Science of Somatics was born from a shared question:
How do we bring together the part of us that moves and feels, with the part that wants to understand how it all works?
Our backgrounds combine decades of research in sensorimotor neuroscience, postural control and the autonomic nervous system, with years of hands-on experience in practices such as the Alexander Technique and Contact Improvisation.
Now we share our integration with you.
