Somatic shadow work education, certification, and practitioner training
Shadow Alchemy Coaching Academy offers pathways for personal transformation, 1:1 practitioner certification, and advanced somatic shadow work facilitation.
Whether you are here to experience the work personally, become certified in 1:1 client facilitation, or enter the full professional pathway, each training is designed to support real transformation through the body, shadow, subconscious conditioning, emotional embodiment, nervous-system awareness, and integration.
Personal Pathway
Personal transformation through somatic shadow work.
The Personal Pathway is for those who want to experience Shadow Alchemy for themselves.
This pathway supports students in understanding the patterns they keep repeating, the shame and conditioning underneath them, and the parts of self that have been hidden, rejected, or pushed underground.
Through somatic shadow work, emotional embodiment, nervous-system awareness, and integration practices, students are guided into deeper self-understanding, compassion, and embodied change.
This pathway is for personal transformation only. It does not provide certification, practitioner status, or permission to facilitate the Shadow Alchemy Method with others.

Level 1 Certification
Foundations for 1:1 somatic shadow work facilitation.
Level 1 Certification is for coaches, healers, facilitators, and practitioners who want to learn the foundations of guiding 1:1 clients through somatic shadow work.
This certification supports students in becoming safe, grounded, and confident practitioners who can work beneath the surface of behaviour into the deeper layers of shadow, shame, subconscious conditioning, nervous-system responses, emotional embodiment, and integration.
Level 1 is the foundational practitioner pathway for those who want to support clients beyond insight, mindset, or surface-level coaching — and learn how to hold deeper transformation with structure, ethics, and care.
Students who complete Level 1 may choose to upgrade into the Advanced Practitioner Pathway later, subject to availability.
Enrolments Open
Advanced Practitioner Pathway
Level 1 Certification plus advanced facilitation, groups, retreats, and transformational leadership.
The Advanced Practitioner Pathway is the full professional training pathway for practitioners who want to become deeply skilled in somatic shadow work.
This pathway includes the complete Level 1 Certification and continues into advanced practitioner development, deeper client work, group facilitation, retreat spaces, emotional depth, leadership, and the embodied capacity required to hold more complex transformation.
It is for the practitioner who does not just want to learn the foundations — they want to be shaped by the work, lead transformational spaces, and become known for the depth, safety, integrity, and power of the spaces they hold.
