What Past Attendees are Saying
I completed my Certificate III in Perth in 2016 with Linda. My life has changed immensely since then with all that I have learnt and integrated personally. Linda is an amazing teacher, a wonderful person and made me feel safe and supported along the way. She holds space in such a loving, and non-judgemental way. Linda has a way of explaining things in a grounded and heart based manner making learning easy and meaningful. She is so incredibly knowledgeable and her passion for helping others shines through in every way. Linda helped me to reconnect with my true self, be more authentic and supported me to bring up suppressed emotions that were part of the dis-ease I had in my body back then. I will always be so grateful for meeting Linda and all the learnings and knowledge I have received from her.
My Name is Michael… I have recently completed Psychosomatic Therapy 10 day ONLINE Intensive. Who you are is written all over your body and part of the job of a psychosomatic therapist is to read your body, your face, your hands, your feet, and interpret the emotional story that it is telling..… The gift of a body mind analysis is the opportunity to truly see, maybe for the first time, what your body is revealing about your emotional conditioning. It will help you understand exactly where you are in relation to your self esteem, confidence, creativity, trauma, and power. The body-mind analysis is the opportunity for you to finally see yourself truly for the beauty of all that you are. It is time for you to love your body and come home to your true potential. You can heal yourself, and this is a step-by step process. I encourage anyone who is interested in self-exploration, self-healing, or self-empowerment (as well as anyone who is a teacher or healer) to explore this transformative process….
I have completed Certificate Psychosomatic Therapy training with Linda Thackray this year. I liken the training to finding the missing piece of self-understanding, especially how my history, patterns and beliefs show up in my body as gifts and challenges. I now have the tools to make the changes to live my life to my fullest potential and to assist others to do the same. This work is so powerful, I feel seen, and I now have much more self-compassion. The ongoing support and mentoring through Linda and this community provides the pathway to embody these learnings and practices. Absolutely remarkable and I highly recommend these courses. Thank you, Linda,
