Our Intro to ERED offerings introduce the core maps, concepts, and experiential practices that define the ERED model 🗺️

Grounded in neurobiology, attachment theory, and somatic awareness, this training offers a clear and applicable framework for understanding trauma and eating disorders beyond behavior—inviting a more relational, body-based lens into treatment 🫀

Our Tier 1 in-person training is an invitation to deepen your understanding of embodied, relational, and neurobiologically grounded eating disorder treatment alongside a supportive community.

Option to all practitioners interested in going deeper into relational, body-based ED care.

In-person means more dyadic somatic process, more time to move through practices together, and more of the relational container on which this work is built ⭕️

Join us October 16–18 in Chapel Hill.

Six practitioners. Willing, open, and ready to go deep.

Recently, we gathered for Growing Seeds of Attachment—our Tier 2 training exploring the earliest architecture of how we relate: to our bodies, to caregivers, to the world.

Primitive reflexes and somatic tone are subtle, precise, profoundly developmental work of understanding how the foundations of movement shape the capacity to receive food, care, and connection.

What struck us most was the openness in the room—a willingness to sit with discomfort, to notice what’s held in the body long before words, and to let that understanding inform how we show up with clients.

This work is quiet. And one small, specific shift can change everything.

2 spots left!

Growing Seeds of Attachment is an experiential 4-day training examining the body’s earliest and most innate capacity for movement which creates the foundation for the relational cycle of movement: yield, push, reach, grasp, pull.

Co-taught by Rachel Lewis-Marlow and Bob Lehnberg (BMC® Practitioner), this training is designed for clinicians ready to work at a pre-verbal, developmental level.

Participants explore how cellular tone and primitive reflexes establish the foundation for complex volitional movements that support completing Action Cycle stages for nourishing ourselves with food and relationships.

Might it have begun before birth? Before language?

Growing Seeds of Attachment: an Exploration of Somatic Tone and Primitive Reflexes is an experiential 4-day training examining the body’s earliest and most innate capacity for movement which creates the foundation for the relational cycle of movement: yield, push, reach, grasp, pull.

The relational language of movement is built on our somatic tone and primitive reflexes.

These movement patterns develop before and shortly after birth.

Participants explore how cellular tone and primitive reflexes establish the foundation for complex volitional movements that support completing the developmental tasks of embodiment, meeting needs, expressing wants, experiencing intimacy and belonging.

Integrating these building blocks of movement facilitates coordination of our everyday actions and activities and supports nourishing relationships between ourselves, each other and the world in which we live.

Co-taught by Rachel Lewis-Marlow and Bob Lehnberg (BMC® Practitioner), this training is designed for clinicians ready to work at a pre-verbal, developmental level.

Primitive reflexes and cellular tone form the earliest architecture for how we relate—to our bodies, to caregivers, and to the world. When these foundational patterns are unintegrated, they can disrupt regulation, interoception, and capacity to eat.

In our Tier 2 training, Growing Seeds of Attachment: An Exploration of Somatic Tone and Primitive Reflexes, you’ll learn how to:

âś” Define, demonstrate, and facilitate key cellular patterns & primitive reflexes
âś” Identify somatic indicators of unintegrated reflexes inhibiting recovery
âś” Provide psycho-physical education to clients & teams
âś” Integrate reflex-based work into interdisciplinary treatment

Across four days, we explore reflexes such as:
• Tonic Labyrinthine
• Moro
• Landau
• Babkin
• Traction
• Oral Rooting
…and more.

This training is ideal for mental health clinicians, dietitians, OTs, nurses, psychiatrists, medical providers, yoga therapists, and all members of multidisciplinary ED treatment teams.

Prerequisite: Moving Through Barriers to Embodiment or Clinical Applications of ERED: Moving Through Barriers to Embodiment.

A strongly experiential training—expect movement, floor work, and touch-based exploration. Participate at your comfort level.
