DETAILS COMING SOON!
We’re excited to offer an early glimpse into a new professional training we’ll be hosting in Aruba in Spring 2026, one that brings together learning, embodiment, and renewal in a meaningful way.
This immersive conference will be led by Dr. J. Eric Gentry, PhD, LMHC, DAAETS, and is grounded in the work of his forthcoming book, translating theory into practical, embodied clinical application. Dr. Gentry’s teaching bridges neuroscience, trauma-informed care, and somatic practice, offering clinicians tools that are both rigorous and usable.
Created for clinicians and helping professionals, SOMATIQUE invites a deeper integration of body-centered approaches, not as an adjunct, but as a core component of effective, sustainable practice. The training emphasizes skill-building, clarity, and presence, while honoring the complexity of the work we do.
Recent advances in neuroscience highlight the powerful role of the nervous system in mental and emotional well-being, inviting clinicians to expand beyond traditional talk therapy models.
This immersive CE experience introduces somatic, nervous system–informed approaches that foster quicker symptom relief, deeper clinical impact, and sustainable change for clients.
Gift Yourself the Gift of Renewal and Professional Growth. Hosted in the sun-soaked beauty of Aruba, this retreat blends high-level learning with rest, play, and rejuvenation—because clinicians deserve renewal too.
We invite you to consider this as a gift to yourself: dedicated time for learning, reflection, and restoration in a setting designed to support both professional growth and personal resilience.
Those who join the waitlist will receive a $300 discount when they register during pre-registration.
Additional details, including dates, schedule, and learning objectives, will be shared soon. For now, joining the waitlist ensures you’ll be among the first to receive information and early access.
We look forward to sharing more with you soon.
