BODY OF KNOWLEDGE: How Learning with and through the Mind, Body, and Spirit Impacts a Somatic Coach in Training and Practice

The study included an exploratory survey and in-depth interviews. A literature review of embodied learning, adult and transformative learning theories, spirituality in whole person learning theory, and embodied consciousness provided the theoretical framework. Spradley’s semantic relations model was utilized to analyze the data. The researcher drew from the philosophies of Merleau-Ponty and Husserl to make meaning of the results through a theoretical lens of embodied consciousness.
