Build Embodied Somatic OT skills, with the nervous system in focus
Life’s too short not to do what you love. Answer the call of your body, heart and soul
If you are inspired but don't know how to move forward, You are not alone...
WITH THE RIGHT TRAINING...
You can embody resilience,
regulation and awareness
You’ve spent years caring deeply for others — showing up for clients, teams, and families — yet somewhere along the way, your own body and nervous system started whispering for attention. Perhaps you’ve already explored somatic or yoga-based practices and felt their impact — in yourself or in your clients — but you’re not quite sure how to bring it all together in a way that feels clear, ethical, and within your OT scope.
You might find yourself craving more depth, more embodiment, and more tools that actually help your clients regulate and heal — yet feeling uncertain where to start or how to integrate it all with the science and structure you already know. Maybe you’ve noticed the fatigue that never quite lifts, the tension that lives in your body, or the quiet disconnection that can come from holding space for everyone else.
You’re not alone. Many Occupational Therapists reach a point where knowledge and care aren’t enough — where the next evolution is about coming home to your own body, reclaiming your joy, and learning to guide others from that grounded, regulated place.
With comprehensive and engaging:
- online course content- discover the evidence base and theoretical alignment;
- with personal embodied movement, somatic enquiry and mindfulness practices - develop your personal embodiment and powerful self-attunement;
- with 1:1 coaching sessions - access personal breakthroughs and empowerment
- with live weekly group discussion and advanced practitioner skills training and practice - network, connect and build your embodied clinical confidence
Together we’ve got the resources and frameworks you need to turn your inner knowing and your ideas into powerful treatment plans and interventions for somatic, embodied healing, all within OT scope.

“Safety is not the absence of threat… it is the presence of connection.”
_____Gabor Mate
This powerful nervous system healing insight reframes safety—not as a passive state protected from danger—but as an actively nurtured condition created through relationship and belonging.

Hi, I'm Sarita Sloane
I believe OTs deserve to thrive, not just cope. Through somatic practices, I help OTs move from stuck and burnt out → to embodied, confident, and alive in their work and life.
I’ve been a somatic practitioner for over 30 years, and 12 years ago I stepped into the world of Occupational Therapy. With experience across mental health, trauma, and community practice, I quickly realised that thriving as a practitioner doesn’t come from pushing harder — it comes from embodying nervous system wisdom.
Having walked dangerously close to burnout myself, I knew we needed a new way to practise. Over time, I’ve refined maps and frameworks that make sense of complex somatic work, helping OTs to communicate it clearly, integrate it safely, and create sustainable practices.
Today, I help OTs bring evidence-based somatic tools into their work with confidence and ease, blending compassionate self-care with professional application.
My own practice has grown into a thriving, waitlisted service — showing that clients are deeply drawn to this embodied, gentle, and effective way of working.
I now guide both experienced and new grad OTs to return home to their bodies, regulate with confidence, and lead from vitality — creating practices that transform both their clients’ lives and their own.
“Sarita’s course provided me not just with new skills and a new outlook on yoga as therapy for clients, but also helped me become passionate about being an OT again experiencing burnout. It provided not just education, but a practical component which gave insight into how to put theory into practice with clients.
I already am incorporating what I learnt from this course into therapy and have recommended this course to other OTs! thank you!”
____ Louisa
I would say do it, make it happen ... and learn new skills to take home and practice. I feel more confident and sure of myself in both my work and personal life and have come out with even stronger boundaries and just a sense of knowing what I need to do next. Highly recommend it and I’ve never done anything like this before. The energy and healing were like nothing I’ve experienced.”____ Jasmine (Womens retreat participant)
