Professional Training in Somatic Healing & Nervous System Regulation
Training trauma-informed practitioners to understand sensitive nervous systems within the broader context of the body, relationships, environment, and lived experience—and to cultivate the conditions that support regulation, connection, and healing.
The Sensitive Intelligence™ Approach
Practitioner training for working with the complexity, intelligence, and healing capacity of sensitive nervous systems.
Sensitive Intelligence™ teaches practitioners to recognize sensitivity as meaningful biological and relational intelligence—and to understand the body within the relational, environmental, and lived conditions that shape health and healing.
Nervous System-Informed
Learn how sensitive nervous systems organize around safety, protection, connection, and their environment.
Embodied & Experiential
Develop practitioner skills through your own embodied learning, guided practice, touch work, and integration.
Relational & Body-Led
Learn to partner with the body’s intelligence while honoring its pacing, protection, and relational context.

Beyond Regulation. Toward Embodied Freedom.
Sensitive Intelligence™ is about more than finding relief from survival-oriented patterns. It is about cultivating greater nervous system regulation, self-connection, inner coherence, discernment, agency, and authentic expression.
At its heart, this work supports the embodied capacity to know, trust, and express who we truly are—expanding our freedom to make aligned choices, cultivate meaningful relationships, and experience greater peace, joy, and aliveness.
Who This Training is For
Created for Women Who Naturally Attune
For women who feel deeply, notice what others miss, and feel drawn toward healing, embodiment, nervous system work, and relational care.
Whether you are beginning your practitioner journey or bringing a more embodied, nervous-system-informed approach into your existing profession, Sensitive Intelligence™ offers a pathway for developing the presence, knowledge, relational capacity, and practical skills to support healing within the context of the body, relationships, environment, and lived experience.
The Practitioner Pathway
A Flexible Pathway for Developing Skill, Depth, and Professional Practice.
Begin with Level 1 foundational certification, which is a complete training pathway in itself.
Practitioners who feel called to deepen their work may choose to continue into Level 2, which includes advanced somatic practitioner skills, integrated mentorship to support specialization, and the business foundations needed to build a sustainable practice.
Ongoing mentorship and apprenticeship are additional individualized pathways—not required stages. Each practitioner’s journey may unfold differently depending on her experience, goals, readiness, and professional direction.

Meet the Founder
Lua Zawacki, MPH SEP CST PCC
Somatic practitioner, educator, and founder of Sensitive Intelligence™
Sensitive Intelligence™ is a relational somatic healing methodology developed through more than a decade of Lua Zawacki’s work supporting women with highly sensitized nervous systems. Drawing from both somatic practice and a public health perspective, her work recognizes that health and healing are shaped not only within the body, but through the relationships, environments, experiences, and conditions in which we live.
As Lua witnessed how many women struggled to find support that was sufficiently relational, individualized, carefully titrated, and responsive to their sensitivity and lived experience, she continued learning from the women she worked with and refining the methodology in response.
The SI™ methodology brings together nervous system literacy, relational healing, somatic inquiry, movement, touch, and an understanding of the broader conditions that shape wellbeing. As demand for this quality of support grew beyond what Lua could provide individually, so did her recognition of the need for more somatic healing practitioners trained to work with sensitivity, attunement, context, and responsiveness.
Sensitivity, Reframed.
Sensitivity Is Not Weakness—It Is Relational Intelligence
Many women with sensitive nervous systems have spent years adapting to environments, relationships, and life conditions that felt too fast, overwhelming, disconnected, or emotionally unsafe.
Sensitive Intelligence™ was created to change that.
Yet many struggle to find practitioners who understand both the sensitivity of their nervous systems and the broader conditions shaping their health and healing.
