Healing doesn’t require force.
It starts with presence.
Feel safe in your body, guide others with integrity, and build a somatic healing business that doesn’t burn you out.
You’ve been stuck in a nervous system built for survival. Holding on. Trying to control.
That pattern lives in your body like old furniture... familiar, but no longer serving your highest potential.
It’s time to say goodbye to the 'Worrier', and become the 'Peaceful Warrior' — Calm. Clear. Grounded in your body.
This is where embodiment begins.
At Movement Monk, we help you reconnect with the healer that lives in you.
This is for...
Nervous-system-aware practitioners and self-healers who’ve done the work—but still fragmented.
If you're working with clients (or on yourself), and you feel like there's a missing piece of the puzzle.
If you want to heal the underlying pain that drives self sabotage, dysfunctional relationships & coping mechanisms.
If you have a passion for helping other human beings.
If you know the nervous system language, but can’t always regulate your own.
If your sessions feel robotic, and your clients keep looping.
If you're looking for a tribe of like-minded people to practice with.
If you want to learn how to find the root cause underlying a person's behavior—no more 'symptom management.
You’re not broken. You’ve just hit the edge of what your old tools can offer. This is where your next level begins...
This work helps with:
Autoimmune Conditions ● Chronic Pain & Stress ● Trauma & PTSD ● Hormonal Imbalance ● Chronic Fatigue & Burnout ● Past Injuries ● Pre & Post-Operation Rehabilitation ● Joint Stiffness & Inflammation ● Excess Weight or Immobility ● Genetic or Neurological Conditions
Whether it’s chronic pain, burnout, trauma, or emotional overwhelm, most of our clients come to us after trying everything else. The shift? They stop treating symptoms—and start listening to their body.

Frequently Asked Questions
GENERAL
What is Movement Monk?
Movement Monk is the body of work created by Benjamyn Fergusson — a blend of somatic therapy, breathwork, mindful movement, and nervous system healing rooted in over 20 years of practice. It’s about helping you reconnect with your body, restore your energy, and remember who you are beneath the stress, pain, or trauma.
The teachings of Movement Monk now live inside Neuro Somatic School — our online home for learning, healing, and embodiment.
Inside the School, you’ll find:
- Step-by-step programs based on our 4 healing pathways: Connect, Breathe, Flow, and Cultivate
- The Dojo Membership — a live, supportive space to practice and grow with others
- Tools for self-healing and practitioner-level training for those who want to go deeper
Whether you're here to heal yourself or help others, this is where you learn to regulate your nervous system, rebuild your strength, and live from embodied presence.
I’ve tried therapy, breathwork, and stretching — how is this different?
Most approaches treat the symptoms. This work addresses the root, the dysregulated nervous system patterns driving tension, fatigue, anxiety, and disconnection.
Rather than “trying to force change,” we teach you how to listen to your body, regulate your system, and rebuild trust and strength from the inside out.
It’s not about fixing, it’s about reconnecting.
Is this for practitioners or regular people?
Both. We serve two kinds of people:
1. Self-healers who are ready to take their body, breath, and energy into their own hands
2. Practitioners who want to embody this work and help others heal more deeply — without burning themselves out
No matter where you begin, the work meets you where you are.
What’s included in the membership?
The Neuro Somatic School Membership includes:
- Full access to all 4 Neuro-Somatic Pathways and 20+ courses
- The Dojo: our community and practitioner education space
- Weekly live sessions, personal guidance, neuro somatic practices to heal your body
- Personal onboarding to guide your journey
- Guest teachers, resources, and future trainings
It's designed to support your transformation — whether you’re healing your own body or helping others do the same.
STRESS & ANXIETY
Can this help with stress and anxiety?
Yes — this is exactly what our work is designed for.
Stress and anxiety aren't just mental. They're nervous system states that live in the body. When your system gets stuck in survival mode (fight, flight, or freeze), it creates patterns of shallow breathing, muscle tension, racing thoughts, and emotional overwhelm.
Our programs help you:
- Regulate your system through somatic movement and breathwork
- Rebuild a felt sense of safety in your body
- Rewire from survival mode to rest, presence, and grounded confidence
I’ve tried meditation and breathing — why do I still feel anxious?
Because many common approaches only work at the surface.
If your nervous system is still wired for threat, simply “trying to relax” often doesn’t land — or can even backfire.
We go deeper by:
- Helping you rebuild regulation from the body outward
- Teaching practices that are gentle, trauma-informed, and practical
- Guiding you to safely process the energy behind anxiety, not just suppress it
When the body feels safe, the mind naturally begins to settle.
How long will it take to feel better?
Every nervous system is different, but many people report feeling relief within the first few sessions — often in just 5–10 minutes of practice.
Our goal isn't a quick fix, but sustainable healing.
Through consistent, gentle practice, you'll build:
- A stronger baseline of calm and clarity
- Greater resilience to stress
- A deeper sense of trust in your body and self
Most members feel a significant shift in 2–4 weeks of regular practice.
CHRONIC PAIN & TENSION
Can this help with chronic pain?
Yes. Chronic pain is often not just a structural issue — it’s a nervous system pattern.
When the body stays stuck in protection mode (due to trauma, injury, or stress), pain can become part of the body’s defense strategy — even long after the original cause is gone.
Our approach helps you:
- Gently downshift your nervous system out of chronic tension
- Rebuild safe movement patterns without flaring symptoms
- Release stored stress, emotion, and holding that often underlie persistent pain
You don’t need to force your body into healing. You need to help it feel safe enough to let go.
What if movement usually makes my pain worse?
That’s why we do things differently. We teach nervous system-informed movement — slow, mindful, and adjustable to your current capacity.
This means:
- No pushing through pain
- No “no pain, no gain” mindset
- No rigid programs that ignore how your body actually feels
You’ll be guided to move with awareness and intention, using just enough effort to restore connection and strength, without triggering your system into a flare.
How long does it take to see results?
You may feel subtle shifts — like reduced tension, better sleep, or more breath ease — within the first few sessions.
That said, chronic pain patterns take time to unwind, especially if they’ve been around for years.
What we offer isn’t a quick fix — it’s a return to relationship with your body.
With regular practice, most members notice lasting changes in pain, posture, and confidence within 4–8 weeks.
The goal isn’t just to relieve pain… It’s to help you feel at home in your body again.
HEALTH PRACTITIONERS
Is this training suitable for professionals like me?
Yes — Neuro Somatic School is designed for practitioners, coaches, therapists, and healers who want to bring a more nervous-system-informed, trauma-sensitive, and embodied approach to their work.
Whether you work with the body, mind, emotions, or energy — these tools help you:
- Go deeper than mindset or technique alone
- Understand how survival patterns block progress
- Support transformation that’s not just understood, but felt in the body
This is for you if you’re ready to stop trying to fix clients… and start helping them reconnect.
What kind of tools or methods will I learn?
You’ll learn practical, nervous system-based tools — built around 4 core Neuro Somatic Pathways:
1. Connect: Learn somatic practices to rebuild safety in the nervous system, release stored trauma, and reconnect with body awareness.
*Includes: body scanning, parts integration, emotional regulation techniques, somatic meditation, and presence-based enquiry.
2. Breathe: Work with the breath as a tool for nervous system regulation, energy cultivation, and emotional fluidity.
*Includes: breath mobility, diaphragm activation, down-regulation, balancing rhythms, and energizing practices.
3. Flow: Restore natural movement, release fascia tension, and rebuild strength in a nervous-system-safe way.
*Includes: fascia unwinding, functional mobility, joint decompression, dynamic strength, and martial-arts-inspired movement.
4. Cultivate: Deepen into the subtle body — working with focus, energy circulation (Qi), and internal stillness to support healing, clarity, and expansion.
*Includes: Qigong, standing meditation, internal energy flow, and tools to refine perception and consciousness.
These tools are simple, powerful, and designed to focus on your personal embodiment so you can use them effectively with your clients — across 1:1 work, group sessions, or classes.
How do I become certified or trained in your method?
Practitioners begin inside the Dojo — our guided membership space — where you’ll build your personal embodiment and experience the four Neuro Somatic healing pathways firsthand.
From there, you can enter our Neuro Somatic Practitioner Training, where you'll:
- Learn our somatic facilitation frameworks
- Practice session flow, client safety, and integration
- Receive feedback, mentorship, and certification
This isn’t just about adding tools. It’s about becoming a more embodied, impactful practitioner — one who helps others transform without draining your own system in the process.
What’s the scope of practice for Neuro Somatic Practitioners?
The Neuro Somatic Method™ is designed to complement — not replace — your existing qualifications. It gives you a framework of body-based tools for nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, movement restoration, and emotional integration.
As a Neuro Somatic Practitioner, you’re trained to:
- Guide clients through nervous-system-informed practices within your scope
- Offer somatic support for chronic stress, tension, fatigue, pain, or trauma patterns
- Facilitate self-healing through embodied enquiry, movement, breathwork, and energy flow
- Support trauma safely without diagnosing or treating mental illness
- You are not being trained as a psychologist, counselor, or medical provider.
Our work is non-clinical, educational, and trauma-informed — focused on somatic support, embodiment, and integration.
You’ll be encouraged to work within your current professional boundaries and to refer out when necessary.
Practitioners come from a range of fields: Coaching, therapy, yoga, breathwork, bodywork, energy healing, and more.
