The NeuroSomatic Exchange Network: A Vision for Collective Transformation

We are launching the NeuroSomatic Exchange Network—a living, breathing ecosystem where practitioners, counselors, coaches, physical therapists, chiropractors, nurse practitioners, massage therapists, Yoga & Pilates instructors, sound therapies, and seekers of nervous system intelligence collaborate, train, learn, connect, co-regulate, and grow—together. This is not another membership site or certification program. This is a movement of mutual upliftment, rooted in the belief that true
transformation happens in community, not isolation.
Here’s the full vision: why we’re starting this, what we solve, how we operate, and where we’re going.
The Need: The Isolation Crisis in Neurosomatic Work
The neurosomatic field is booming—polyvagal theory, somatic experiencing, trauma-informed coaching, and nervous system regulation are no longer niche. Yet, most of us are still working alone.
Practitioners burn out without peer support.
Coaches reinvent protocols others have already perfected.
Clients get fragmented care because no one is talking across disciplines.
Brilliant tools stay trapped in private practices or paid courses.
We are fragmented when we should be braided.
The NeuroSomatic Exchange Network exists to end that isolation. This is a space where knowledge flows freely, referrals are generous, and collaboration is the default.
What We Solve: From Silos to Synergy
We solve the core pain points of the neurosomatic world:
Problem | Our Solution |
Gatekeeping & Paywalls | Free, open sharing of protocols, scripts, and frameworks |
No Referral Pipeline | Built-in referral engine with trust-based matching |
Burnout from Solo Practice | Peer accountability, co-regulation pods, and emotional support |
Lack of Real Community | Online + in-person spaces for deep connection |
No Path to Scale Impact | Collaborative events, retreats, and business cross-support |
Training Gaps & CEUs | Member-led trainings, co-created offerings, and accredited CEU pathways |
We don’t compete. We amplify.
How We Operate: Train, Learn, Connect, Co-Regulate
This network runs on reciprocity, rigor, and real human connection.
1. Train Together
Quarterly virtual practice labs/trainings: Live client simulations, role-plays, discussions or lectures round table topics that influence our work and feedback loops.
Monthly skill shares: Members teach or share micro-protocols, resources and everyone can leave and discuss tools within our inclusive platform.
In-person regional cohorts: Networking, offering CEU's to one another, promoting each others businesses for our own self care and our clients, patients and family members.
2. Learn Together
Curated Resource Vault: Protocols, research summaries, client intake forms, practices and offering from various member-contributed business, professional expertise or techniques of feeling stuck with patients or in your practice.
Recommended Books, Trainings or Courses: Deep dives into The Polyvagal Theory, Waking the Tiger, or emerging research papers.
Guest Masterclasses: Invite-only for members; recordings shared freely, open to ideas and collaborations.
CEU-Accredited Pathways: Co-create and host continuing education courses—earn credits while teaching or learning.
3. Free Networking – Online & In Person
Online Hub (Discord/Platform): Channels for referrals, case consults, wins, and “I need ideas or resources” posts.
Referral Directory: Searchable by modality, location, and nervous system specialty.
4. The Neurosomatic Exchange Engine (Now with Trainings & Offerings)
This is the beating heart of the network:
List your services → Get endorsed by peers → Receive warm referrals.
Share your trainings & offerings → For practitioners and their clients:
Workshops, online courses, group programs, 1:1 packages
Client-facing tools (workbooks, audio guides, mini-courses)
Practitioner upgrades (advanced certifications, supervision circles)
Give a referral → Earn “exchange credits” → Use for your own promotion, retreat scholarships, or access to premium member trainings.
Information Sharing Protocol: No NDAs. If it helps a client or colleague, it gets shared.
Example: A somatic therapist in Austin shares their “Vagus Reset for Entrepreneurs” workshop. A coach in Columbus enrolls 3 clients and refers 2 back. The therapist earns credits to attend a peer’s advanced tremor-release training. Everyone levels up.
Why Now? The Tipping Point
The world is more dysregulated than ever. Collective trauma, digital overload, and chronic stress are the norm. The old model—lone experts behind closed doors—is failing.
We are starting now because:
The tools exist. The science is solid. The hunger is real.
Technology finally enables global, real-time collaboration.
People crave belonging as much as they crave regulation.
This is the moment to weave the web.
What We Hope to Accomplish
Short-term (1 year): 2026
100+ active members sharing 1,000+ tools, referrals, and trainings.
A local chapter hosting monthly in-person/online events.
10+ CEU-eligible courses co-created and delivered by members.
A culture where “How can I help you grow?” replaces “What’s your rate?”
Long-term (2–3 years):
Annual NeuroSomatic Retreat: A 3-day immersion with:
Somatic workshops
Co-regulation circles
Member-Run Booths (see below)
A self-sustaining economy of mutual support.
Influence on mainstream mental health: “Neurosomatic care” becomes standard.
The Crown Jewel: The Annual Retreat & Collaborative Booths
Every year, we gather. Not as attendees—but as co-creators.
The Retreat
3 days in nature.
Morning somatic practice. Afternoon deep dives. Evening fire circles.
No keynotes. Only member-led sessions.
The Booths
This is where magic meets marketplace:
Each member (or team) gets a booth to showcase their work and offerings.
Demo a live session. Launch a new course. Gift a client tool.
Cross-promotion is required: Every booth must feature at least two other members’ trainings or services.
Result: Attendees leave with 5 new practitioners in their network—and every member’s business grows.
Booth fees fund scholarships so no one is left out.
Collaborate With Us
We are open to co-creation. Interested in:
Co-developing a training or CEU course?
Speaking at our retreat or virtual summit?
Partnering on a group program, research project, or joint service?

Join the Movement
This is not a group. It’s a networked nervous system—responsive, adaptive, and alive.
If you:
Practice somatic work, coaching, therapy, or body-based healing
