Learn more

Welcome to the next level of transformation and integration for practitioners, healers, and guides of all disciplines.

Transformational Coaching with an Emphasis in Somatic Integration Therapy is an immersive online certification program that teaches you how to work skillfully at the intersection of mind, body, and consciousness.

Grounded in depth psychology, somatics, interpersonal neurobiology, and contemplative traditions, this program offers a truly integrative pathway into the heart of transformational change.

Our trauma-informed approach supports both you and those you serve in cultivating:

  • deeper self-awareness

  • emotional regulation and resilience

  • clarity of intuition and inner guidance

  • embodied authenticity

  • attuned and ethical presence with clients

  • greater ease and coherence in the body

You will learn how to guide transformational processes safely, compassionately, and effectively—supporting clients through meaningful shifts that create long-term change.

Why this matters now

We are living through a time of profound psychological, cultural, and spiritual transition. Old models of healing—overly cognitive, disembodied, or symptom-focused—no longer meet the complexity of what clients are facing.

People are struggling with fragmentation, overwhelm, meaning crises, dysregulation, and wounds that live as much in the body as in the mind.

They are asking for guides who can hold depth, hold nuance, and hold them.

This program meets that need.

Because clients now require practitioners who can…

  • Understand the interplay of nervous system states, psyche, and consciousness

  • Work with trauma in a regulated, ethical, and somatically-informed way

  • Recognize archetypes, complexes, patterns, and the unconscious

  • Support integration, not just insight

  • Create belonging, safety, and coherence in a rapidly destabilizing world

  • Guide transformation that is embodied, not performative

Because healing is shifting from quick fixes to deep integration.

People are no longer looking only for strategies.

They want presence.

They want attunement.

They want a guide who can walk with them into the deeper layers of their experience and help them return with clarity, meaning, and self-trust.

Because the world needs practitioners who are grounded, compassionate, and skillfully awake.

This program trains coaches and helpers who can meet the moment and serve as anchors of integrity, insight, and embodied transformation.

Who is this program for?

This certification is designed for both established and aspiring:

  • Coaches & Transformational Guides

  • Therapists, Counselors, & Social Workers

  • Yoga Teachers & Meditation Instructors

  • Somatic Practitioners & Bodyworkers

  • Mentors, Leaders, & Space Holders

  • Healing Artists & Integrated Practitioner

  • Motivated Learners drawn to depth, consciousness, and embodiment

Whether you’re beginning your professional path or deepening decades of work, this program offers a grounded, rigorous, heart-centered approach to transformational practice.

What makes this program unique

1. A Truly Integrative Approach

This program weaves together depth psychology, somatic practices, attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and contemplative traditions. You learn how mind, body, and consciousness interact, and how to work with all three in a grounded, ethical way.

2. Trauma-Informed + Transformation-Oriented

We teach transformation from a place of nervous system safety, not intensity. Students learn how to guide clients gently, effectively, and without retraumatization.

3. Embodiment First, Techniques Second

You don’t simply learn tools; you learn to embody them. This creates coaches who are attuned, present, and trustworthy guides in moments that matter.

4. Rooted in Depth & Soul

Drawing from Jungian psychology, yoga psychology, and integrative neuroscience, the program honors both the psychological and the sacred dimensions of healing.

5. Direct Access to Experienced Mentors

You train directly with Leanne and Shilah, not assistants or pre-recorded modules. This intimate mentorship is part of what students value most.

6. A Community That Feels Like Belonging

You are held inside a supportive, diverse cohort of practitioners committed to integrity, depth, compassion, and real inner work.

Meet Your Instructors

Hi! We are Leanne and Shilah, and we will be your instructors throughout the year-long course.

This program was born out of a desire to create an offering that reflected the importance of both an academic and embodied educational experience. In our own roles in our respective professions, we have found that now is the time to bridge any gaps between mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual approaches. We are both explorers and Yogis at heart, and with our combined backgrounds we have sought to create something that sits at the intersection of science and spirituality and synthesises the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of the human experience.

What people are saying:

  • "I strongly recommend Leanne for any individual seeking to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. I feel that her knowledge and understanding, paralleled by her strong healing abilities, in combination with her uniting philosophy, are essential for healing and the antidote to our world that is currently very divided."

    MM

  • "I engaged Leanne as a transformational coach to assist me in addressing some very specific and unique issues. I have engaged dozens, if not hundreds of consultants in my life. Leanne is A+!; she is highly skilled and gives 100%. It's very hard to find someone like that. I could not have imagined finding someone as good as she is, and the results were better than I could have imagined. She's extraordinary."

    As reviewed on LinkedIn

  • "Dr. Leanne Whitney has been tremendously instrumental in helping me regain focus on my dreams and goals. My emotional responses were getting the best of me when I was faced with adversity. However, through my work with Leanne I learned the importance of being able to validate my anger and pain without being the cause of additional anger and pain in the process. Once I was able to consistently implement that approach, the people I was having issues with finally had the energy to hear my side of the story."

    As reviewed on Facebook

  • "Dr. Whitney was an absolute Godsend! She is absolutely engrossed in sharing her gifts and medicine through her life work. She was crucial in the emotional development of myself and my partner. The wisdom and tools shared, the deep listening and profound questions for consideration, the guidance, teachings - all were critical in our having a healthier relationship today. Forever grateful. Thank you."

    As reviewed on LinkedIn

  • "I have been working with Dr. Leanne Whitney for 2 years now and I genuinely consider her a gift from The Universe. My personal transformation speaks to not only Dr. Leanne's skill set to listen to what is not being said, but also to her incredible insight on what it means to be human: our struggles, patterns, conditioning, as well as our soul's deep desire to BE in alignment with ourselves and the Universal Spirit. Her deep knowledge, understanding, and integration of the Yoga Sutras and Jung's depth psychology make her a powerhouse!"

    As reviewed on Facebook

  • "I very much enjoyed your presentation, particularly your delivery. It is remarkable how your pauses, metaphors, and anecdotes helped to make the teachings more accessible and understandable. Oftentimes, when you would pause and gesture with your hands to demonstrate pure consciousness—that was profound—and I could feel our collective understanding."

    Yoga Teacher Trainee, 2019

  • "Your passion and clear understanding of this subject and this work is so apparent and comes through so powerfully in your way of teaching. It isn't the most widely approachable or "popular" material, but the way you use metaphor and your physical body to teach is very engaging. Thank you. I look forward to learning more."

    Yoga Teacher Trainee, 2019

  • "First of all, your energy is infectious and so refreshing. I felt engaged from the start. Your ability to break down such heavy, often unfamiliar information and make it applicable to our current, everyday existence was awesome. Beyond the transmission of your extensive knowledge was your sincere passion for the work you're doing, which inspires me to approach this work with respect, curiosity, and appreciation. I so look forward to letting all of this integrate and see how my journey will improve + deepen because of it."

    Molly McMillin, RYT

  • "Leanne's online courses dive deep with information and insight, into the teachings of Jung and Patañjali. The setting is intimate, comfortable, and inclusive. I love that we all had the opportunity to ask questions and have dialogue, at any point during her presentations. Get ready—they're PACKED with facts, information, and recommended readings. Don't worry though, they're recorded, so you can listen to the audio again and again. Leanne is filled with knowledge, embodied wisdom, and genuine joy. She has a natural ability to make Pañjali's Yoga Sutras understandable, and to relate them to all aspects of our human experience. I've only touched the tip of the iceberg that is her offerings, yet I have no doubt that she will continue to be one of my greatest teachers."

    As reviewed on Facebook

  • "Dr. Leanne Whitney truly embodies what she teaches! Even after 45 years of meditation and of reading numerous renditions of Patanjali's Sutras, my taking her course recently on the Sutras has given me more clarity, understanding, and love of the Gift of Yoga. Her background in depth psychology blends perfectly with the ancient yogic wisdom; in fact, it makes her presentation so much more relatable to the Western 'thinker." Leanne is totally approachable & desires her students to ultimately realize Patanjali's treatise on Real Liberation, and live it. If only our ailing world could genuinely taste some of the wisdom transmitted in her wonderful 5 week interactive video course... Oh, and her book, CONSCIOUSNESS IN JUNG AND PATANJALI, is superb and perfect for those who aim to transform to the good.”

    As reviewed on Facebook

  • "This course was all that I expected and more. Bringing the wisdom of yoga, depth psychology, and affective neuroscience together with resources and grounding practices made for a very rich experience in a short 7 weeks time! Most importantly, Shilah and Leanne provided a welcoming and supportive safe space to allow and encourage the challenge of transformation to happen. I highly recommend this course for anyone ready and willing to take a deeper look into themselves and are open to change and grow, to curiosity and wonder."

    John Chovan

  • "Thank you for the wonderful class! It was full of so much information and I loved the Saturday morning classes. I’ve learned a lot about the mind/heart/gut connection, our nervous system and the subtle body, and how we can work with them to balance our bodies. I have a deeper connection to my body now and will use the tools I learned to further my exploration. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to go within and feel supported in a loving community."

    Shelly Mead

  • "Before taking Behind the Asanas with Dr.Leanne Whitney, I didn’t understand what it meant to “go within.” Unfortunately, I was rushing through life and reacting to my environment without listening from within. Dr. Leanne’s teachings have helped me “go within.” I started to feel and listen to what my body and my heart was telling me. Now, I am learning that my body, heart and mind are connected. Certainly, I highly recommend taking any of her courses, as she comes from a heart centered place. Without any doubt, you will be able to receive the teachings and be transformed."
