SOMA:HOME

an 8 week small-group deep-dive into
befriending your high sensitivity, managing overwhelm and finding home within your own skin.

The next round of SOMA:HOME will run from late April 2025.

If you're keen to learn more when the doors open for registration, join the early interest list below. Joining the list is totally obligation free, but you will get access to a discount and get first dibs on registration.

Over 8 weeks, learn the tools and skills to help you:

Befriend your sensitivity (and embrace its gifts)
Manage overwhelm with more confidence (the downward spiral is not your only option)
Show up for self-caring practices (even if they never seem to stick)

As a highly sensitive person, your need for self-care, rest and self-compassion is, well, high. And, I get it: it can feel hard to claim, hard to show up for, and downright confusing knowing where to start. Together, let's make time to carve a path forward so that you are finally on your own side.

Let's shift things so that your inner world is an experience of coming home, not going into battle.

Can you relate?

You feel like you're constantly on edge or overwhelmed

You frequently prioritise the needs of everyone around you, but struggle to make time for yourself

You often find yourself overthinking and worrying about what you said and did (or didn't say and do)

You're tired and tense

You tend to have high expectations for yourself but often don't meet them. And when you don't, your inner voice is unkind

You often feel like you're on an emotional rollercoaster

Yes? You're not broken, you're sensitive.
(Hi there! Me too. I see you, I get it.)

At the end of SOMA:HOME you will:

Have a simple framework for navigating overwhelm

Appreciate your high sensitivity for the powerful force it is, rather than feeling like a puppet being pulled by its highly sensitive strings

Feel more confident in looking after yourself and your body - going from having a whole lot of 'shoulds' around self-care to actually living self-care

Feel more connected with your body - understanding more clearly how to listen to it and respond with kindness and curiosity over judgement and force

Understand what supports you to be your own ally, rather than feeling like you're in a me vs 'it' relationship with your body and mind

Have a bunch of tools that you can use every day to deepen your relationship with yourself and your body, reducing tension and increasing ease in the process.

What you get in SOMA:HOME

8 weeks of mind-body exploration to support you in uncovering (and moving beyond) the real reasons that self-care feels hard (and why, sometimes, it is so difficult to be your own best friend)

Enquiry and discussion around the beliefs, values and conditioning that contributes to your capacity to care for your needs and meet your body with kindness

Practical somatic (body-based) practices to help regulate your nervous system, unwind tension and learn to truly listen to your body.

What others are saying

The first lesson was like an earthquake for me - when I realised how many of the values that guided my life were actually externally instilled rather than internally anchored (and actually important!) ones.

Using the work to really excavate my beliefs and decide a new (and kinder!) path forward has been phenomenal.

Kerry, SOMA:HOME participant

This program helped me learn about tools I can use to shift my nervous system and state. As well as how to better understand the communication between the mind and the body and how to find home (SOMA) in day to day life. This course would be great for anyone. Movement teachers would benefit from the science of it all in understanding clients. Anyone processing tension, past trauma, or feeling stuck would benefit from this course.

Dana, SOMA:HOME participant

This course was exactly what I needed. With great delivery, resources and tools the content learned will remain useful well after the completion of the course. I delivered a greater respect for my body and awareness of when to increase my self-care. I recommend this course to anyone who wishes to develop their relationship with themselves.

Cassie, SOMA:HOME participant

I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn skills and tools to help calm their nervous system. I feel like I have been able to build better awareness of my bodies needs and I'm able to respond in more useful ways. Erica is such a fantastic facilitator, she created such a compassionate environment for SOMA:HOME, it that was so lovely to be a part of it.

What we explore in SOMA:HOME

Week 1 is all about befriending your high sensitivity and becoming aware of the gifts and challenges that being highly sensitive poses. We explore how your sensitivity has shown up in your life and the way it impacts your self-concept and relationship with self-care. You'll also be introduced to the GRO framework - this is going to become the foundation of everything we explore together.

WEEK 1: BEING HIGHLY SENSITIVE & THE GRO FRAMEWORK

Week 2 is all about laying a foundation of moving your body as a way of self-listening and self-soothing.

We talk about why somatic/body based practices can be such a powerful tool for unwinding tension and learning to speak your body's language.

WEEK 2: YOUR BODY KNOWS

'Listen to your body' - is it the most frustrating advice you've ever heard? This week, we'll demystify this idea so you have a clearer method for understanding what your body is communicating with you.

We'll use the Window of Tolerance to map our nervous system states - a powerful way to gain insight into how you're feeling, through the wisdom of your body.

WEEK 3: WHAT IS YOUR BODY SAYING?

WEEK 4: WHAT MATTERS TO YOU?

In Week 4 you'll ask yourself a big question: what truly matters to you, now? This is an exploration of your values and, importantly, how they apply inward, toward yourself.

As a highly sensitive human, you might be great at treating others in line with your values. It's time to offer yourself that same kindness.

In Week 5 you'll explore the invisible walls that pop up as you attempt to orient toward your values. How can you release and dismantle the beliefs, 'shoulds' and expectations that no longer work for you?

We'll explore the Choice Point concept to help with this, too.

WEEK 5: THE INVISIBLE WALLS

WEEK 6: SELF-COMPASSION

In Week 6 you'll deepen your understanding of self-compassion. What it is, how to do it and why you'd want to bother. We will also explore how self-compassion can support you as you encounter your own perfectly imperfect human condition over time.

WEEK 7 & 8: PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

In Weeks 7 & 8 you'll integrate everything from the preceding weeks to explore how to navigate in real-time, in the real world. This is also an opportunity for us to explore additional tools based on the groups' experience and needs.

'I have been doing the somatic exercises and sleeping better and can notice a difference in my stress levels. There are many courses on self love but they don't actually teach you how to apply the practical side of the information. Erica made it easy to understand and easy to apply.'

- Julie - SOMA:HOME participant -

'By connecting with my values, I feel like I have a better understanding of my 'why'. I've increased curiosity and am working on decreasing judgement of myself and decisions- I am definitely listening to my body more. This has come at the right time for me, wanting to increase my relationships with myself, my body and others.'

Question + Answers

When are the course calls?

Group calls are scheduled to commence at 7:30pm on Wednesdays throughout the program. Please note this is Australian Eastern Time Zone (Melbourne).

What if I can't attend live?

It is highly recommended that you attend calls live - it's where we work through material together AND it gives you the opportunity to ask questions and learn from others. However, this isn't high school, so attendance is not compulsory. Replays will be available.

What do I need to participate?

Access to Zoom and a computer (or phone). No special equipment required. Some materials will be printable, but if you don't have access to a printer (or a desire to print stuff) you can use a pencil and paper (or digital device) instead.

How much time do I need to commit each week?

Our weekly live calls are scheduled for 90 minutes each. In addition, there will be somatic movement practices to explore - these can take anywhere from 5 minutes - 30 minutes per day, depending on what you choose. There will be things for you to explore between sessions and you can devote as much or as little time as you like.

Hm, group stuff - how does this compare to 1-1 counselling?

1-1 counselling is ace. But it can add up quickly - weekly counselling at $120 per session is $960 over 8 weeks. Which is fine ... unless it isn't. Group work isn't better or worse than 1-1 work. It's simply different. In fact, a lot of the insight and growth you experience in SOMA:HOME will be BECAUSE of the group, not in spite of it. We are a social species. Shared humanity matters. The tools we're working with are the same tools I use with my 1-1 counselling clients, applied to a group.

What if I don't want to share with the group?

Then you don't have to! Your desires will be honoured. I'm here to hold space for what you need and want - not to push you to do things you don't want to do.

How much movement is involved? What if I have an injury or certain limitations?

Movement will be primarily somatic exercise and other somatic enquiry-based exercises. This modality is super gentle and slow. Modifications are always possible - if you want to talk about your specific situation before signing up, send me an email at erica@ericawebb.com.au

Is this suitable for everyone?

Nothing truly is, is it? So, no.

This isn't for you if:

you're looking for 1-1 support or to explore your specific history in a counselling relationship
you're unable to commit to weekly participation (that said, it's ok if you can't make every live call - life, right?!)
you're currently in a state of crisis and need tailored, high levels of support (please reach out at erica@ericawebb.com.au if this is you and we will find you the right support)

This could be for you if:

You're open, curious and ready to commit to a loving relationship with yourself and your body - you just don't know where to start.
You're comfortable with a group format and understand this is not 1-1 counselling support.

How long can I access course content for?

You will retain access to the course portal for 12 weeks. You will be able to download workbooks to refer to forever, but portal access will close after 12 weeks. I highly encourage you to stick with it live for the 8 week period as this will give you the best chance of getting through all the material.

PLEASE NOTE:

This course is not 1-1 counselling support. Calls will be recorded for access by group members unable to attend live. By participating, you agree to keep confidential anything shared in confidence by other group members.

A bit about your SOMA:HOME facilitator: Erica Webb

Hello! I'm Erica Webb - creator of SOMA:HOME.

I'm a Registered Counsellor, Somatic Exercise Coach, Yoga Teacher and a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).

I've had my fair share of tripping over and running into the tricky bits of my high sensitivity. And, while I learn more about myself and how to navigate this highly sensitive (and human!) life, I have developed a large personal and professional toolkit that now helps others to navigate their sensitivity too.

I'm also a mum to two school-aged boys, fur-mama to a best-friend cat and dog duo, a rollerskating enthusiast, novice basketballer and chocolate-chip-cookie-making (and eating) magician.
