Dear Somatic Coaching Community, I wanted to share some important news with you all. After much reflection, we've made the decision to close down this free Skool community in the coming week. This wasn't an easy choice, as this space has been filled with such beautiful connections, insights, and growth that I've deeply valued witnessing. We'll be shutting down this group later on this week. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for bringing your presence, questions, and wisdom to this community. The conversations we've had here have been meaningful and have helped shape B3 into what it is today. As we make this transition, I'd love to stay connected with you: 1. Follow us on Instagram @bodybasedbreakthrough for daily inspiration, somatic practices, and community updates 2. Make sure you're on our email list to receive our most valuable content and practice guides including our somatic meditations (if you're not already, you can join at bodybasedbreakthrough.com) For those ready to take their somatic journey deeper: I'm excited to share that our next B3 Somatic Coaching Certification cohort begins May 5, 2025. This 12-week immersion is designed for yoga teachers, coaches, healers, and wellness professionals who want to embody somatic practices and create deeper transformation for their clients. As members of this community, you're eligible for a special $1000 discount on the certification tuition. You can book a call with me to chat about the program here: https://calendly.com/matthewtcooke/45min or send me a DM. While this chapter is closing, I'm genuinely excited about the deeper connections we'll continue to build through our other platforms and programs. The B3 community continues to grow and evolve, and I hope you'll remain part of this journey. Feel free to share any thoughts or questions below. I'll be checking in regularly over the next few weeks as we transition.

What brought me here... I went to a wellness resort called Rancho La Puerta this time last year. It's basically like summer camp for adults, and it's magical. From morning to evening, there's a variety of wellness activities throughout the week to choose from. Fitness classes, yoga, breath work, art class, dancing, hiking, sound baths, meditation, Pilates... you name it, they've got it. The most interesting thing I noticed as I explored different classes was this: - During the fitness or “30-minute express ab burner” classes, I kept thinking, “This is honestly not all that challenging.”  - During the mediation sessions or sound baths, when encouraged to sit quietly, relax, and surrender, I kept thinking, “Wow.. This is really hard.”  Does any of this resonate with you?... I realized that for most of my 20s, I focused more on my physical wellness and muscle toning WAY more than I had been tending to my mind and internal state. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE a great workout, and I’m proud of my commitment to my physical strength. But, becoming aware of how challenging it was for me to slow down and find stillness set me up for a beautiful journey inward. This is how I got into somatic work and eventually became a certified somatic coach through @bodybasedbreakthrough Body-based breakthrough and somatic work beautifully explained and encouraged me to think of my mind and body as one rather than separate. Strengthening the relationship between my body and mind has been transformational. Here are some photos from that week in Rancho La Puerta. I’m excited to share the tools I’ve learned and been practicing throughout my journey of tuning inward. Thanks for being here 💘 I can't wait to get to know each of you 💘 Xx, Courtney

I'll go first... #1. Hi friends. My name is Matthew Cooke, from Boulder, Colorado. We certify coaches, and mental health professionals to add a somatic or nervous system tool to their business, called Body-Based Breakthrough. Simultaneously helping them get "unstuck" professionally, as well as personally if they experience anxiety, imposter syndrome or burnout. We use a combination of breathwork, moving meditation, journaling and coaching. We teach it, and certify our trauma-informed practitioners over a 3-month period. #2. I want to connect with new friends, I want to serve our existing clients and I want to help people expand their impact, their belief in themselves and about what is possible in terms of generating cash flow and I want to have a ton of fun! #3. I like to hang by our creek here in Boulder, hike mountains, nerd out about the nervous system, read books about it, and go to coffee shops. I also love me some yoga. #4 - I love my space...but probably my favorite is working on the ground right behind this station...I love moving throughout the day...
