The FIRST Somatic, IFS & Trauma Informed Microdose Coaching Program

with Anima Terra

The Three Core Components of the Anima Terra Microdose Coach Practitioner Certification Program

Our unique certification program consists of three components. By design to expand your personal and professional journey, empowering you to become a more confident, skilled, and insightful microdosing coach. These three pillars are:

1. Self-Development Retreat (In-Person)

Uncover more of who you truly are.

The first cornerstone of your training is an immersive Self-Development Retreat. This in-person experience is designed to foster deep personal growth and hands-on practice. By stepping away from your daily life and immersing yourself in a nurturing, focused environment, you’ll undergo a transformative process that enhances both your coaching abilities and personal insight.

Key Features:

  • Immersive Environment: Spend several days in a community-oriented retreat, surrounded by fellow participants and expert facilitators. This environment allows you to disconnect, recharge, and fully engage with the material in a real-world setting.

  • Experiential Practices: Participate in guided holotropic breathwork, mushroom foraging, Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE), and more. These practices offer profound self-discovery and deepen your understanding of microdosing and its impact on the body, mind, and emotions.

  • Connection & Integration: Build strong bonds with fellow students through sharing circles, group activities, and personal reflection. This communal experience will support you in processing your own emotions and experiences, which is crucial to becoming a compassionate coach.

This retreat is a transformative experience that allows you to embody the concepts and tools you’ll use with your clients. You will leave with new insights into yourself and the skills needed to support others on their journeys.

2. Experiential Coach Practicum

Once you’ve absorbed foundational knowledge and engaged in personal growth, it’s time to put your skills to the test. The Experiential Coach Practicum is where theory meets practice, allowing you to apply your learnings in real-world coaching situations.

Key Features:

  • Real Client Interactions: Under supervision, you’ll engage with real clients who are embarking on their own microdosing journeys. You’ll create personalized microdosing protocols, provide ongoing support, and help clients integrate their experiences.

  • Guided Coaching Practice: You’ll receive mentorship and guidance from experienced instructors throughout your practicum, refining your coaching techniques and ensuring you feel confident in applying your skills.

  • Feedback & Reflection: After each client session, you’ll receive constructive feedback from your instructors and peers, allowing you to grow and adjust your approach to better serve future clients.

  • Developing Your Coaching Style: You’ll have the space to develop your own unique coaching style while staying grounded in best practices. You’ll also practice key skills like active listening, empathy, and emotional intelligence.

This component ensures that by the time you finish the program, you’ll not only have theoretical knowledge but also hands-on experience, making you fully prepared to start working with clients on your own.

3. Taking the Microdose Course Yourself

One of the most powerful aspects of our certification program is the opportunity to experience microdosing yourself. As a coach, it’s vital to understand the process intimately, and the only way to truly guide clients through their microdosing journeys is to experience it firsthand.

Key Features:

  • Personal Experience with Microdosing: You will take part in the microdosing course as a participant, following safe and structured protocols under expert supervision. This will allow you to directly observe how microdosing affects your mindset, emotional state, and personal growth.

  • Self-Reflection: Through journaling, mindfulness, and integration practices, you’ll track your own microdosing journey. This self-reflection will deepen your empathy for clients and enrich your coaching practice.

  • Understanding the Process: Experiencing microdosing yourself gives you a clear perspective on what clients may feel, including any challenges or breakthroughs they encounter. This insight is invaluable in your role as a coach.

  • Integration of Personal Insights: As you engage with your own microdosing experience, you’ll be encouraged to reflect on how these insights inform your coaching style and your understanding of the process.

This personal experience allows you to connect on a deeper level with your future clients and provides you with the knowledge to navigate the microdosing process with expertise and empathy.

What You Will Learn:

  • How to Guide clients through their microdosing journey to create LASTING CHANGE

  • Tailoring a medicine protocol to individual needs

  • The science behind microdosing, including its mental health benefits and the nuero-science

  • Daily Movement & Yoga

    Every day we will explore our own inner landscape with embodiment practices.

    Yoga, Natural Movement, Locomotion….

What makes our approach truly transformative is how we bridge the practical and the spiritual. While microdosing can open the door to profound inner awakening, lasting transformation requires aligning both external goals and internal healing. This is where our coaching method excels.

We call this The Integration of Inner & Outer Transformation.

Our program isn’t just about setting goals and achieving them; it’s about doing so from a place of deep inner alignment and emotional healing. By integrating self-development principles with the tools of microdosing, you’ll empower your clients to:

By combining inner exploration with practical action, you’ll empower your clients to create real, lasting change—both in their lives and within themselves.

Surrounded by nature’s healing energy, you will engage in deep self-exploration, and practices to align you with the core elements of our program—Somatics, BioHacking, Relationship with the Natural World, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Trauma-informed practices.

  • Connect deeply with yourself through immersive exercises that help you release blocks, clarify your intentions, and align with your higher purpose.

  • Experience the healing power of microdosing in a controlled, safe environment, allowing you to unlock new insights about your own inner landscape.

  • Nurture your own self-care through grounding practices, nature walks, meditation, and rituals designed to align your mind, body, and spirit.

This retreat is not just about learning the techniques to become a great coach—it's about embodying those techniques yourself. When you step into your own transformation, you’ll be better equipped to facilitate the same for your clients.

  • Early morning sunlight helps regulate your circadian rhythm, boosting your mood and energy levels throughout the day. It also promotes the production of vitamin D, which is essential for immune function.

Pillar 2- practitioner training

A Facilitator-Focused Approach: Emphasizing Practical Coaching Skills

Our program stands out for its hands-on, facilitation-focused approach, designed to immerse you in the art of coaching. While we provide the foundational knowledge in Somatic, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Trauma-Informed coaching, the heart of our training is built around practice.

As a microdose coach, the ability to facilitate deep, transformative sessions is paramount. That’s why we dedicate significant time to helping you develop the coaching skills that will enable you to guide your clients with confidence and ease.

Heavy Emphasis on Coaching Practice

This is not just a theoretical program—it’s experiential. You’ll spend the majority of your time practicing and refining your coaching skills, with real-time feedback from experienced facilitators. Our goal is to ensure that, by the end of the program, you are not only knowledgeable but also highly competent in delivering transformative coaching sessions.

What You Can Expect from Our Facilitated Practice:

  • Guided Role-Playing: Engage in role-playing exercises with your peers, where you’ll simulate real coaching sessions, receiving feedback on your facilitation style and techniques.

  • Live Coaching Practice: During the program, you’ll have opportunities to practice coaching live, where you’ll work directly with clients in simulated environments to build your confidence and skill set.

  • Peer Coaching Circles: Through small group coaching circles, you’ll practice as both a coach and a client, experiencing both sides of the relationship and enhancing your ability to hold space for others.

  • Ongoing Mentorship: You’ll receive continuous mentorship throughout the program, ensuring that you’re supported as you grow into your role as a microdosing coach.

Mastering the Art of Facilitation

We believe that coaching is not just about guiding clients to their goals—it's about facilitating a process of inner discovery and healing. By the end of this program, you’ll have mastered the key elements of facilitating a powerful coaching session:

  • Active Listening and Reflection: Learn how to deeply listen to your clients, reflecting their thoughts, emotions, and experiences back to them in a way that fosters insight and clarity.

  • Holding Space for Transformation: Cultivate the ability to hold a safe, non-judgmental space that encourages vulnerability, emotional expression, and healing.

  • Asking Powerful Questions: Practice the art of asking questions that lead to profound shifts in perspective and unlock deep personal insight.

Somatic and Embodiment Coaching

We integrate the body into the healing process, recognizing that true transformation occurs when we reconnect with our bodies and listen to the wisdom they hold.

Our approach helps clients become aware of physical sensations, where trauma is stored, and how microdosing can support the body’s natural healing processes.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Informed Coaching

IFS is a transformative model that recognizes and works with the different “parts” or sub-personalities within each person.

This approach helps individuals address and heal internal conflict, trauma, and limiting beliefs.

As a microdosing coach, you will learn how to guide clients in connecting with their parts, so they can experience healing and integration on a deeper level.

Trauma Informed Coaching

We recognize that many individuals who seek microdosing do so to heal past trauma. Our coaching is trauma-sensitive, providing a safe space for clients to explore their inner worlds and unlock emotional blocks without re-traumatizing them. You will be trained in trauma-aware strategies to support clients through their healing process.

Goal Setting & Habit Formation

You will learn how to support clients in creating lasting change through

  • Set clear, purposeful goals that align with their deeper desires and true self.

  • Develop sustainable habits that support long-term success and personal growth, without falling back into old patterns.

  • Build sustainable habits that are rooted in awareness and consistency, rather than force or willpower.

  • Track progress while adjusting the path as needed, creating a feedback loop for growth and success.

BioHacking

Biohacking is about vitality, thriving, and unlocking your highest potential. We will equip you with tools to support thriving and optimizing your own personal well-being.

You will learn a range of biohacking techniques to incorporate into your coaching tool kit, allowing you to choose strategies that align with your clients personal goals.

BioHacking uses evidence-based strategies (like diet, exercise, sleep optimization, early morning sunlight, deliberate cold exposure, nervous system training, and mindfulness practices). When combined with microdosing, biohacking offers an amplified approach to self-transformation.
