You’re Ready For
The Next Layer If
You dream of showing up as the steady, embodied guide your clients — present or future — can truly trust.
You’re tired of piecing together random tips, and ready for a clear, grounded framework.
You long to go deeper in your practice — starting with yourself.
You feel the whisper of imposter syndrome: knowing you’re here to heal, but not always clear on the “how.”
You know mindset work isn’t enough and you’re craving embodied tools for real transformation.
You want to feel confident holding space when big emotions arise.
It Begins with the Nervous System…
We were never taught how to consistently regulate our nervous systems — yet this is the foundation of everything: living a safe and powerful life, and creating safe and powerful spaces for others.
The B3 Transformation
Your journey to somatic mastery
By the End of 12 Weeks, You Will…
Feel clear and confident guiding others through deep transformation.
Be grounded in your body — trusting yourself, your nervous system, and your intuition.
Hold space with embodied tools that create lasting results for both you and your clients.
Set healthy boundaries without guilt, and give from overflow instead of depletion.
Be devoted to your own practice so your coaching flows from lived experience, not theory.
Trust that your business and growth can be built on ease and integrity, not hustle.
Expand your capacity to be the coach, healer, or guide you know you’re here to be.
The B3 Somatic Coaching Certification
This isn’t just a certification.
It’s a 12-week journey that transforms you first — so you can guide transformation in others with integrity and confidence.
B3 weaves together nervous system science, movement, breathwork, and journaling into a complete, embodied methodology. It’s not about collecting more techniques. It’s about anchoring into a framework that feels clear, grounded, and alive in your own body — so that when you hold space for clients, you’re guiding from lived experience, not theory alone.

Meet the Founder
Matthew Cooke,
SEP
For over 15 years, Matthew has been devoted to the study and practice of nervous system healing and embodied transformation. What began as his own search for wholeness has evolved into a life’s work of guiding others into safety, presence, and freedom in their bodies.
Matthew is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) who has trained extensively with pioneers like Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) and Diane Poole Heller (DARe), among others. He has supported leaders from Google, Apple, SpaceX, and Disney — yet his deepest passion is helping heart-centered practitioners embody this work so they can hold space with confidence and care.
His gift lies in making complex nervous system science practical and accessible, so you can not only understand it but live it — and from there, guide others to do the same.
What Our Graduates Are Saying
“Huge shout out to Matthew Cooke for what he’s created. I’ve done a decent amount of embodiment, neuroscience, nervous system, and trauma centered trainings and what he’s built with B3 is concrete and accessible. It puts the wonder and discovery in the clients hands with the coach as a guide and steward. I cannot recommend his course and approach enough. If anyone’s been shy to use embodiment in coaching B3 is a generous gateway.”
Alicia Jabbar
B3 Graduate
What Our Graduates Are Saying
“I would completely echo what Alicia Jabbar has said about it being concrete and accessible. There is a ton of helpful information up front about the science behind this that will make offering this work to certain clients much easier. Also, I’ve felt entirely comfortable putting elements of this to work with clients in 1:1 and group sessions immediately, without being an expert, and have seen very positive outcomes already. This is especially meaningful for me as I often struggle with doing things unless I feel I understand perfectly how to do it. There are structures and scripts that Matthew Cooke provides here that make it feel totally safe and responsible for you to go out and do the thing, and keep iterating/improving, of course.”
Sarah Thorpe Scott
B3 Graduate
What Our Graduates Are Saying
“Amazing cohort - I'm just reporting in, buoyed by my first B3 session with a client. I feel a bit like I'm running with scissors, but am grateful for Matthew Cooke’s scripts and teaching and demos...because it went really well for my client. She came to some powerful insights that I don't think she would've claimed through dialogue alone. Really appreciate this group and the support to go out and do this work in the world. I'm so excited for our clients!! 🙂”
Amy Haworth
B3 Graduate
What Our Graduates Are Saying
“Hi Matthew, I am finishing the walking B3 meditation right now... and holy shit this might be one of my favorites. I keep saying that with every session we do, but this was found for me—this is who being in nature, which is one of my biggest teachers and being able to have you guide me. I just have to say thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for all of the heart and soul and work that you do and connection that you dive into yourself to be able to give us these gifts and I'm also so inspired of how I can share this with my community. I feel like going on a walk has really allowed me to feel like this could be something and easy to bring to their lives because we do walking meditations already, so just wanted to say thank you and share the love.”
Sami Clarke

What Our Graduates Are Saying
“I just got my first real client for a B3 session! My friend who I practiced with this weekend works at Netflix and says she’s been talking about it at work and several coworkers are interested in booking with me. I’m low-key freaking out but so excited haha just needed to share!!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Body-Based Breakthrough is designed for coaches, facilitators, and wellness practitioners at every level of experience. You do not need formal trauma training to join. We start with the fundamentals of nervous system education and gradually build your confidence in working with the body safely and effectively. You’ll learn the science, structure, and language to guide clients through somatic experiences without overstepping your scope of practice.
Most programs teach information. Body-Based Breakthrough (B3) teaches embodiment.
You’ll learn to apply science, psychology, and spirituality through movement, journaling, and breath-based methods that create real results with clients.
B3 uniquely combines 1:1 coaching and group facilitation, a complete three-month system grounded in polyvagal theory and attachment work, and a clear process for creating deep breakthroughs without overwhelm. It’s designed to help you grow both professionally and personally through embodied mastery.
All live sessions are recorded and available inside your private student portal. While we encourage attending live for connection and feedback, you’ll be able to watch replays anytime and still complete all required assignments and practice sessions. Many graduates have successfully completed the certification while balancing full-time work and family commitments.
B3 is a trauma-informed program, not a trauma-therapy training. You’ll graduate with the skills to safely recognize nervous system patterns, guide regulation, and facilitate body-based breakthroughs — all within the scope of a somatic coach or facilitator. You will not diagnose or treat trauma but will know how to support clients in staying within their window of presence, and when to refer them to a licensed therapist.
Yes. Graduates receive continued access to community calls, mentorship opportunities, and advanced trainings. You’ll also be invited to join the B3 Alumni Network, where you can connect with other certified practitioners, share sessions, and continue refining your skills. Our goal is to support you not just in certification but in sustainable practice and business growth.
We stand by the quality of our training and the depth of transformation it offers. If you participate fully and feel the program does not deliver on its promise, you can request a refund within the first 10 days of the program start date. Our team will work with you directly to ensure you feel supported and aligned with your decision.

or book a free clarity call to see if B3 is right for you.
P.S. Remember: You can't give what you don't have. The most profound gift you can offer your clients is your own embodied transformation. B3 gives you both the personal healing and professional mastery to create the practice—and life—you've always envisioned.
