Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

Over the past few years, I have been deeply immersed in my training to become a Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP®). Having experienced firsthand how transformative this body-centered work is, my focus is on stepping fully into this career shift so I can offer these vital tools to others in support of nervous system regulation.

Now, I am standing at the edge of the final milestone and reaching out to invite support from those in my circle who might be in a position, and feel called, to help me cross the finish line.

Where the Funds Go ($1,500 Goal)

Like so many, navigating today's economic climate and a few unexpected health challenges while balancing part-time work and growing a business has made resources tighter than usual. Because these challenges have temporarily limited my earning capacity, I have decided to open this up to community support to help cover the final costs of this training transition.

Your support will directly fund $1,500 to cover:

• Module Tuition & Program Completion Fees: Final course tuition and required supervision hours for my Advanced II Module in Kelowna (November 20th to 26th, 2026).

• Travel Expenses: Transportation to and from Kelowna for the week of in-person training.

How This Expands My Career & Practice

Completing this certification allows me to fully integrate Somatic Experiencing® into my professional offerings. It will directly enrich how I support my public speaking and presentation coaching clients, helping professionals navigate performance anxiety, embody confidence, and regulate their nervous systems under pressure, while also allowing me to officially serve clients as a Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP®).

Two Ways You Can Support

1. General Contribution (Any Amount)

If you simply want to offer a gift of support toward my training, any contribution, whether $10, $25, or $50, means the world.

2. Claim or Gift a 60-Minute Somatic Session ($75 Contribution)

To best anchor this goal in the work I am called to offer, I am offering 60-minute Somatic Experiencing® sessions with me for contributions of $75 or more. I have been offering reduced rate sessions throughout my training and this campaign is a way for me to spread the word about this work. 

• Flexible Formats: Available virtually via Zoom or in-person right here in Courtenay.

• Giftable: You can claim a session for yourself or gift it to a friend, loved one, or colleague who could use nervous system rest.

• Flexible Scheduling: Sessions can be booked anytime through the remainder of 2026.

With deep gratitude.

Please know there is truly no pressure. If you are in a position to contribute, claim a session, or simply pass this along, I am deeply grateful for your encouragement and support.

Warmly,

Dayna Kneeland
