FOR THE WOMAN WHO KNOWS SHE IS HERE TO SERVE THE EVOLUTION OF WOMANKIND

Become the Kind of Practitioner Who Can Meet the Whole Woman

Whether you’re already a practitioner or standing at the edge of a new professional path, you can feel it—you want work worthy of your devotion.


You’re capable.

You’re sensitive.

You care a fucking lot.

You want to become extraordinarily good at something that matters—and, let’s be honest, make good money doing it.

Maybe you already work with clients and can feel there is more underneath what is happening—but you don’t yet have the skill or confidence to go to the depths you know the work could go.

Or maybe you haven’t found the work—or the training—that feels big enough for what you know is in you.


YOU WANT TO

  • Create transformational change in the lives of the women you serve

  • Become extraordinarily skilled at work you deeply believe in

  • Use your sensitivity and intuition without being consumed by them

  • Build a practice that is sustainable for your nervous system and your life

  • Learn alongside women who care as much and are as devoted to the work as you are


And somewhere inside you, you can feel that becoming capable of doing this kind of work will ask something of you too.

I know that feeling because it is exactly what brought me here.

Hi, I'm Sydney.

I didn't come to women's health and pelvic care because I wanted to build a school.

I came because I needed this work myself.


I had spent years working with my own sexual trauma. I understood my story. I had processed it. Then I found myself in the safest relationship I had ever known, engaged to a man I deeply loved and trusted—

and suddenly, penetration hurt.

I remember thinking, What the fuck? I’m safe. I did the work. Why doesn’t my body know that?

That’s when I realized,

I could understand my trauma with my mind.

But I couldn’t think my body out of it.


After my first sessions of pelvic bodywork, I remember sitting on a bench completely confused because the internal beehive I had always called my New York City Hustle was suddenly…quiet.

There was softness. Stillness. I could breathe.

As I learned to listen to the anxiety my body had been carrying, something else shifted too: the pain disappeared and pleasure came back tenfold. I became obsessed with understanding how this was possible.

So I trained. And I kept finding two worlds.

The SOMA | Anatomy, fascia, structure, touch.

The PSYCHE | Trauma, attachment, emotion, story.

I learned extraordinary things from both, but kept finding that every modality I learned, one was supposed to matter more.


Women don’t arrive in pieces

so why are we trained to work with them that way?


I didn't believe we had to choose. So I went deep into both.

Thousands of hours with women eventually turned everything I had studied into my own way of being with a woman: touching, listening, connecting dots, knowing an absurd amount and still being willing to say, “I don’t know yet. Let’s listen.”

This became Sovereign TOuch

Then practitioners started asking, Can you teach me how you do this?

And I began to see what could become possible if this work didn’t stop with me. I realized I needed to create a school—and the mentorship—I had spent over a decade looking for.

This is the School of Sovereign Touch. 

This was never meant to stop with me.

It was meant to move through all of us.

Woman to woman. Body to Body. Generation to generation.

the School of Sovereign Touch

A 15-month immersive training and mentorship in whole-woman bodywork, pelvic care, and trauma integration

Here, you’ll develop the skill and confidence to do profound work with women - and the business foundation to build a practice that can actually sustain your life.

Because becoming exceptional at this work requires more than what you know or what your hands can do. It requires developing who you are as a practitioner and your capacity to hold this work.

That’s why the School is built around four interconnected pillars

PILLARS OF KNOWLEDGE

The knowledge and skills you’ll learn

PILLARS OF WISDOM

Who you’ll become as you carry the work

THE SCHOOL BEGINS

OCTOBER 28

· Enrollment is intentionally limited to 12 WOMEN ·

What is Sovereign Touch?

I developed Sovereign Touch through more than a decade of study, personal healing, mentorship, and thousands of hours of clinical practice with women.

My hands—and the way I understand the body—have been shaped by years of study across manual therapy, trauma integration, psychology, sexuality, women’s health, and pelvic care and more.

SOVEREIGN TOUCH IS WHAT EMERGED AS I BEGAN WEAVING THESE WORLDS TOGETHER—a fascia-based, trauma-integrative approach to bodywork and pelvic care that works with the whole woman.

At its foundation is the belief that the body is intelligent. Our role as practitioners is not to impose an agenda upon it, but to listen deeply enough to follow what it reveals.

Through the connective lens of fascia, we learn to see the body as a living web—where the physical, emotional, psychological, relational, and spiritual are continually shaping one another.

Rather than working with disconnected parts

Sovereign Touch teaches you to work with the whole woman—and the relationships between all the parts of her.

In the School, you learn two applications of Sovereign Touch


SOVEREIGN TOUCH BODYWORK

Whole-body, fascia-based, trauma-integrative bodywork that works with tissue, nervous system, emotion, and story as interconnected parts of the same living system

SOVEREIGN Pelvic Care

Hands-on and hands-in pelvic care that places the womb back in relationship with the whole woman—her body, nervous system, psyche, and story

THE SOVEREIGN TOUCH

NON-AGENDA METHOD

Sovereign Touch is a response to a healing culture that can be quick to diagnose, fix, prescribe, and decide what another person needs.

The Sovereign Touch Non-Agenda Method teaches you another way.

Instead of memorizing the “right” thing to do, you learn how to think inside the complexity of a real session—how to listen deeply, connect what you’re seeing and sensing, stay curious, trust your intuition, and remain present when the answer isn’t immediately clear.

Because the more you know, the more tempting it can be to believe you already know what’s happening.

Mastery is knowing enough to listen when you don’t know.

You learn to meet each woman without reducing her to a symptom, diagnosis, trauma story, or your own interpretation of what she needs.


The goal isn’t to become the practitioner with all the answers

It’s to become the practitioner who knows how to listen when there isn’t one


Presence over performance

Nuance over certainty

Sovereignty over saviorism

“After more than 400 births, I kept seeing the same gap for women standing at that threshold. That gap is what called me into this initiation and this learning so I can bring this work back to my community.

The breathtaking cohesion of learning bodywork alongside trauma integration. There is truly nothing like it.

The alchemical nature of the container existed because it was both a bodywork training and a trauma-integration training. One never overshadowed the other.

This isn’t a program where you simply add another tool to your toolkit but rather this school changes you as a woman.”

— Whitney | Cohort 1

Inside the School of Sovereign Touch

Program Details

Over 15 months, you learn the work, experience it yourself, practice with real bodies and real clients, receive personalized mentorship, do your own inner and relational work, and build your practice alongside a community of women doing the same.


3-Hour Bi-Weekly Online Classes

Wednesdays, 10am-1pm MounTain time | 30 total

Learn the work from the inside out. Live classes weave anatomy and physiology, trauma integration, clinical reasoning, demonstration, discussion, and experiential practice so you are continually learning the work through your mind and by touching your own body - beginning from day one. 


Three 7-Day Residential Hands-On Immersions

This is where the work gets into your bones.

Three times throughout the School (Mar ‘27/Aug ‘27 /Jan ‘28), we come together in a private home in Colorado, for seven-day residential intensives where you get to go all the way in—with your hands, your own process, and the women learning beside you.

Develop mastery through hands-on practice. Spend seven days working with different bodies, with your teachers right there to guide and refine your work. The intentionally small cohort means you get individual attention on your actual hands - so you leave with substantial experience, stronger skills, and greater confidence in your ability to work with clients.

Experience the work you are learning to hold. Receive the work yourself because this work cannot be learned from the practitioner’s seat alone. You learn how to hold depth by experiencing what it is to be held there yourself.

Build the relational capacity this work demands. Through facilitated group process, you’ll work with what actually arises between women so you can stay present when things get hard and develop the capacity to hold the uncomfortable relational moments that come with doing transformational work.

Be supported while you learn. These immersions are intentionally residential, with your accommodation and all meals prepared by a private chef included in your tuition - reducing the logistical stress so you have more capacity to learn, practice, and be fully immersed in the work.


Private Mentorship Sessions with Sydney

5 Sessions | 90 minutes each

Deep Dive Personal Coaching. Bring your real clients, questions, business decisions, growing edges, and the places you’re not quite sure what the fuck to do next. These sessions give you dedicated space with Sydney to untangle what’s happening, strengthen your practice, and receive mentorship specific to the practitioner you’re becoming—and business you are building.


Monthly CORE Energetics with Amie

15 Sessions | 80 minutes each

Your own inner work is part of your education. Monthly private CORE sessions give you dedicated space to work with your own emotional, relational, and somatic process as you move through the School and into deeper work with women - because you are one of the most important instruments in the room.


Client Dynamics Lab with Amie

3 Sessions | 75 minutes each

Learn to recognize what’s actually unfolding between you and your clients. In small groups of 3-4 women, get support through a psychotherapist lens identifying transference, countertransference, projection, attachment, and the relational dynamics shaping your sessions, so you can stay grounded when things get complex and respond with greater awareness, discernment, and confidence.


Private Community Space

You don’t have to do this work alone. Between classes and immersions, you’ll have a private space to stay connected, ask questions, access curriculum and resources, and continue conversations with the women learning beside you.

Over 15 months, these aren’t simply classmates. You’re building relationships with women who understand the work you do—and who become peers, collaborators, and part of your professional community long after the School ends.


Guest Teacher workshops

3+ Speakers | 2 hour workshops

Learn from people who are exceptional at what they do. Guest teachers bring their expertise into the School, giving you access to a broader range of knowledge and perspectives without having to piece together your education one training at a time.

BONUS Anatomy Resources

for those who need extra support

You don’t need to arrive already fluent in anatomy. Foundational videos, coloring pages, and handouts give you extra ways to learn and revisit the material—especially if you’re new to bodywork or anatomy is one of those things that needs repetition to really stick.

BONUS Access to Library of Mini Courses

Pelvic Steaming, Yoni Eggs + More

Follow your curiosity beyond the core curriculum. Explore Sydney’s library of mini courses on women’s health, pelvic practices, and embodied sexuality—yours to dive into whenever a particular subject calls you deeper.

“There was so much WISDOM and nuanced understanding interwoven with all of the instruction, both online and in person.

The wisdom, intuitive and otherwise, the energetic understandings, the vast reach of all of Sydney’s studies....my brain is having trouble trying to name it.

Again, mind blown.

The bodywork instruction was incredible, and having my body’s different needs recognized and listened to was one of the most meaningful and affirming things that has ever happened to me. The community, emotional processing, and CORE Energetics being interwoven with everything made the experience something I couldn’t have imagined.”

— Kelly | Cohort 1

“ when I look at the investment now, I see it as something much bigger than the financial piece. It was a choice to say yes to something so much bigger than myself.

With it being a significant financial commitment I can feel that I wasn’t just investing in a program or learning a new modality... I was investing in myself as a woman, in the community of women around me, and in the lineage of women that I am a part of.

What has made it feel worthwhile is that the impact has reached far beyond the techniques themselves. It has changed the way I listen, the way I move through the world, the way I hold space, the way I understand others, and the way I trust myself. ”

— Emilee | Cohort 1

what happens when you apply

The School begins October 28th and is limited to 12 women.

If your application is accepted, we’ll invite you to schedule an interview. We’ll get to know you, you’ll get to know us, and you’ll have plenty of space to ask your questions and make sure this feels like the right place for you to learn.

“I GENUINELY DON’T KNOW HOW TO PUT A DOLLAR AMOUNT ON WHAT HAS CHANGED IN ME.”

I came into this school thinking I was learning a modality. I didn’t realize I was walking into an experience that would fundamentally change the way I relate to myself, other people, and my body.

I used to feel or know something and immediately question it, analyze it or look outside of myself for confirmation. Through this program I’ve had experience after experience of listening to what I’m sensing and discovering that I can trust it.

The way I relate to myself, the relationships I’ve built, how deeply I’m coming to trust myself now and the work I’m beginning to bring into the world have changed the trajectory of my life.

— Samantha | Cohort 1

A Personal Note


What do you do with how much you care?

If you’re here, you probably want your work to mean something beyond you. You want to support women deeply. You want to be part of changing how women inhabit their bodies and how we care for one another.

Sometimes, the magnitude of that desire can feel overwhelming.


Maybe we were never meant to carry all of it. Only to tend the piece that is ours.


For me, I think about my great-granddaughter.

I want her to feel the effects of what we changed. In the way she is touched and the way she is cared for. In what she knows about her womb, and how freely she experiences her sexuality.

In her complete knowing that her body belongs to her.

I am doing this for a future I may never get to see.

That’s my piece.

Claiming it is scary AF. 

I know the vulnerability of being visible. The fear of charging real money for sacred work. The temptation to make ourselves smaller so there is less to lose.

I know what it is to want something enormously and still be scared of what saying yes might ask of you.

You might wonder, Who the fuck do you think you are to do this?


Maybe you’re exactly the woman who is here to serve the evolution of womankind


You don’t have to carry the whole vision.

You only have to claim your piece of it.

If you want this life—this depth, this responsibility, this kind of service—I invite you to step into it.

You don’t have to do it alone.

Come take your place among us

“I AM FINALLY READY TO HOLD CLIENTS WITH SKILL AND DEPTH.”

I have a pattern of hoarding and accumulating across many areas in my life, including learning. I always felt like I needed to learn more before I could start seeing clients.

Through the School, I not only recognized that pattern - I became confident in my abilities in a way I didn’t expect. The practical part of the training - finding amazing women, learning from all, experiencing the modality and feeling confident with it - helped me see that I was ready.

I have deep admiration and respect for both of you, Sydney and Amie. You have created something extraordinary and you have done it while remaining transparent and vulnerable.

I would definitely do it again!

“I DISCOVERED THAT I CAN TRUST MYSELF.”

“Even though I had finished a fascial certification, I was not certain if bodywork was for me. I felt that first training was a great entrance to fascial work. However, it was not as in depth as I wanted, and it felt out of integrity to start touching bodies when I felt I needed more knowledge.

This training was more supportive in all the ways possible. There was much more anatomy than other training I’ve completed, which is important to me and I appreciated. The CORE Energetics sessions were something I did not know I needed and found very supportive.

During the hands-on bodywork, I felt all the Zoom calls come into play and action. I allowed myself to drop in and trust my intuition. I felt myself in a flow of what was the next step to better support her body. There was not much thinking and more being in the session.

I discovered that being a bodyworker is who I am. It is a gift that I now acknowledge and nourish.”

— Genesis | Cohort 1

Want to go deeper into what you’ll learn? This one is for all you curriculum junkies, I see you.

Four Spirals. One Whole Woman.

The body cannot be separated from the psyche.
The pelvis cannot be separated from the whole body.
And healing cannot always be separated from the mystery.

Throughout the 15-month apprenticeship, we move through Four Interconnected Spirals—each giving you a different lens through which to understand, touch, and support the woman in front of you.

You learn them together and you will learn how to weave them together.




Sydney Zwicker

Founder · Teacher · Women’s Health Mentor + Bodyworker


For nearly fifteen years, Sydney has made the whole woman her life’s study—training across disciplines, teachers, and countries, and building a successful practice that has served thousands of women.

She has traveled to seven countries to work with clients, and women cross oceans to work with her. She teaches practitioners from the U.S. and Europe and is known for bringing an unusual breadth of knowledge to the room alongside a deep respect for all that cannot be explained or known.

Sydney is equal parts anatomy nerd, intuitive, skeptic, mystic, and perpetual student.

She wants to know what nerve innervates the tissue, what happened in your childhood, what your body is communicating—and what the hell just happened that no one can explain.

She is a rigorous and deeply relational teacher who expects her students to think, question, experiment, make mistakes, and develop their own authority rather than borrowing hers.

Sydney founded the Sovereign Touch School to pass on the work she has spent nearly fifteen years studying, practicing, and creating—and to further her bigger mission of changing the way women are understood, touched, and cared for, in service of the evolution of womankind.

Amie Scrupski

Faculty · CORE Energetics Practitioner · Somatic Guide


Amie Scrupski has spent over a decade studying what happens when we drop below what we know intellectually and discover what is revealed when it finally moves through the body.

She is a Core Energetics practitioner, somatic guide, and emotional alchemist, with advanced training including Radical Aliveness with Ann Bradney, Embodied Relationship Mentoring with Brian and Marcia Gleason, and ongoing Core Strokes training with Dirk Marivoet.

At the heart of Amie’s work is Core Energetics, an experiential form of body psychotherapy that brings the body, emotion, energy, expression, and relationship into the process—so patterns held beneath conscious awareness can actually be encountered.

Amie is exceptionally good at seeing those patterns in motion. Her work is experiential, direct, compassionate, and sometimes uncomfortable. At the School of Sovereign Touch

Amie brings this gift to each student—supporting women to move beyond simply understanding their patterns and inhabit more of who they are—

Embracing both their light and their shadows, with greater authenticity, embodiment, emotional freedom, and access to their own power.

    “The alchemical reality is that the investment returns itself many times over.”

  • Anna

    “It was definitely worthwhile! I feel like I learnt on so many levels.”

  • Genesis

    “The investment is big part of who I am becoming, so it was important to me to be part of this training.”

  • “Much to my surprise, what followed was joy, awkwardness, messiness and by the end of the first immersion week, a real sense of confidence and emerging mastery.”

    WHITNEY

  • “It was not a cookie cut method served to me, it's like I had to develop into it...It was marvellous becoming confident in touching bodies and also receiving that medicine.”

  • Whitney

    “My biggest hesitation before enrolling was not having any formal bodywork training. Imposter syndrome definitely showed up. Even with a background in trauma social work and seven years as a birthworker, I worried that my lack of bodywork literacy would make me feel out of place in this school.

    I ended up feeling deeply grateful for the chance to show up fully as a student getting to learn this work in its pure form, directly from its lineage, without needing to unlearn anything first.”

  • SAMANTHA

    “It IS a significant financial investment, but I also genuinely don’t know how to put a dollar amount on what has changed in me through this program.

    The way I relate to myself, the relationships I’ve built, how deeply Im coming to trust myself now and the work I’m beginning to bring into the world have changed the trajectory of my life.

    I came into this School thinking I was learning a modality. I didn’t realize I was walking into an experience that would fundamentally change the way I relate to myself, other people, and my body.”

  • Kelly

    “I was able to trust myself to hold a level of trauma that would have been intimidating in the past...To be able to trust myself so fully with both that level of holding AND going into totally uncharted territory, and trust what was coming up in my body, as I was feeling what was coming up in her body, and communicating with her in an effective, easeful, and connective way.

    It was truly next level and now there is no going back or questioning what I'm here to give.”

  • Genesis

    “I would say each part of the curriculum was impactful. However, choosing one is hands-on bodywork because I felt all the zoom calls came into play and action. It was truly impactful to work on each other as all the women created such a bond.

    We all cared for each other and took the input as part of our growth of becoming bodyworkers.”

  • Emilee

    “The School has been a constant reminder that sometimes transformation is much quieter. It can be the body softening by one degree, the breath moving a little deeper, or someone realizing they don’t have to hold everything alone.

    The School has taught me to listen differently. Not just to what someone is saying, but to what their body is communicating through breath, movement, tension, sensation, and the places where they are holding on.

    I wasn’t there to make her grief go away. I was there to create enough safety and space for her body to have its own experience of it and to trust that her body knew what it needed.”

  • “It’s now so deeply known in my bones that I no longer have any concern with needing to prove that to anyone. I can just show up and be, and the medicine just pours through.”

    ~KELLY

  • “I feel like I am becoming more of myself, more grounded in my truth, more trusting of my own way, more of a leader, and more willing to fully step into the medicine woman I am.”

    EMILEE

  • “For the first time in my life, I experienced being seen for the whole of who I am rather than being known in parts.”

    SAMANTHA

  • “Being a bodyworker is who I am. It is a gift that I now acknowledge and nourish.”

    GENESIS

  • “Much to my surprise, what followed was joy, awkwardness, messiness and by the end of the first immersion week, a real sense of confidence and emerging mastery.”

  • “It was not a cookie cut method served to me, it's like I had to develop into it...It was marvellous becoming confident in touching bodies and also receiving that medicine.”

    ANNA

  • EMILEE

    “Sydney has an incredibly direct, nurturing and at times even comical way of teaching this work. She really has a gift for helping everyone tap into their own innate gifts of listening, seeing, and feeling.

    Anytime there was a new modality being introduced Sydney would always encourage us to find our own way of working with it, rather than feeling like we had to do it exactly as it was taught.

    I wasn’t just learning a new modality, but beginning to develop my own way of working, listening, and holding space. There was a lot of room to find my own voice within the work, to trust my gifts and ways of knowing that were already within me.”

  • Kelly

    “I was feeling like quite the lone wolf. I have a lot of amazing community, but I was lacking peers in my work. I couldn't have imagined the depth of connection with the other women in SST, but I felt a glimpse of that possibility as I connected with you and felt so known and seen.

    Connecting so deeply with women who felt like true peers and settling more fully into myself as medicine woman and healer.”

  • Genesis

    “I 100% belief the investment was worthwhile as I learned so much and was supported in multiple ways during the learning experience.

    The investment is big part of who I am becoming, so it was important to me to be part of this training.

    This training is deep and full of knowledge; therefore, it is important to be ready and open to all that comes in the learning process.”

  • ANNA

    “Every interaction with teachers and classmates was healing. Also the fact that I had to think a lot by myself about how I wanted to apply the modality: it was not a cookie cut method served to me, it's like I had to develop into it”
