  • Summary

  • Somatics has always been at the core of Ani and Brian’s professional expertise, but that’s not what makes them a dynamic duo. Ani and Brian are life and business partners and the “yin” to the other’s “yang.” They share stories from their professional lives as well as their personal lives to better explain and illustrate the power of somatic techniques.


    After more than a decade working independently, Ani and Brian combined forces. Together they have over 86,000 hours of client experience, more than 20 certifications and half a century working helping people learn to develop self and professional mastery. After leaving the Western Medical system and creating their own private pay holistic rehabilitation practices, they went on to create two wellness centers and two international training centers together. Their expert knowledge of physiology combined with multiple certifications in energy medicine, eastern movement practices like tai chi and qigong, meditation, mindfulness and manual therapies combined with coaching methodology ultimately led to the formation of The Somatic Coaching Academy. Through the lens of coaching, Brian and Ani have developed a comprehensive curriculum for learning somatic modalities that anyone can learn. You don’t need to be a psychologist to deeply help people transform their lives and heal long held problems, both physical and emotional. The trauma-sensitive coaching solutions taught at the Somatic Coaching Academy will outperform conventional western coaching and therapeutic practices. Episodes of this show are packed with useful information and lessons on precisely this topic.


    In this hectic and precarious world, everyone should have equal access to whatever resources they need to thrive. Using innovative trauma-sensitive somatic coaching methods, Brian and Ani will help you master client work. Learn the ins and outs of a variety of holistic methods so you can provide truly life-changing outcomes for your clientele.

  • How to Escape the Drama Triangle

    How to Escape the Drama Triangle
    Mar 27 2025

    Are you stuck in drama without even realizing it? The Drama Triangle—where we unconsciously take on the roles of Victim, Perpetrator, or Hero—can keep us trapped in conflict and frustration.

    In this episode, Ani Anderson and Brian Trzaskos break down how these patterns play out in relationships, work, and even within ourselves. More importantly, they reveal a powerful alternative: the Empowerment Dynamic, where you can shift from feeling stuck to stepping into real agency over your life.

    Join us for a conversation that will help you recognize drama when it shows up, break free from the cycle, and create a healthier, more empowered way of being.

    Grief is quiet, deep, and often overlooked—but it doesn’t have to be faced alone.

    In this episode of the Somatic Coaching Academy Podcast, hosts Ani Anderson and Brian Trzaskos explore the profound connection between grief, loss, and the body. Discover why depression is the brain’s way of protecting us from pain, how shutting down grief also shuts down joy, and why gentle somatic practices can help us safely reconnect with life.

    Join us for simple, practical exercises that melt the freeze of grief and bring comfort, healing, and hope.
