The Science of Somatics: How Trauma Lives in the Body with Irene Lyon

Irene Lyon is a master somatic practitioner and nervous system educator who has spent over two decades studying the intersection of trauma, movement, and physiology 🧠✨ She holds a Master's degree in Biomedical and Health Science, is a certified Feldenkrais practitioner, a Somatic Experiencing practitioner, and one of the first people in the world to bring nervous system and trauma healing education online reaching over 27,000 people across 90+ countries since 2012. Irene's approach blends three powerful modalities — Somatic Experiencing, the Feldenkrais Method, and developmental trauma work into a framework she calls Neuroplastic Healing Sequencing.
