Embodied Sensation: Harnessing the Power of Interoception and Proprioception - Live w/ Recording Access
2026-08-13 | Online – Live Webinar
Join Sheila Frick for her New Course!
Strengthen body awareness, regulation, and sensory processing through targeted sensory integration strategies.
Proprioception and interoception are frequently discussed within the field of occupational therapy to describe one’s awareness of their internal body signals. For individuals who experience difficulties with sensory modulation and sensory processing, inadequate interoceptive and proprioceptive awareness may contribute to struggles with body awareness, adaptable states of arousal, motor control, and regulation and awareness of homeostatic functions. Effective treatment strategies aim to modulate sensation, and support proprioceptive and interoceptive balance within the context of meaningful occupational participation.
Drawing from current science, this course will explore the neurological and anatomical foundations for proprioception, interoception, and vestibular processing. Practical application and discussions will illuminate how these sensations play a key role in self-sensing, body mapping for enhanced body scheme, and self-regulation. Therapists will leave this course with a comprehensive understanding of these key therapeutic concepts, along with a variety of practical and precise therapeutic activities that can be implemented across environments.
Course Highlights• Understand the foundations of proprioception, interoception, and vestibular processing in sensory integration• Explore how body awareness impacts regulation, motor control, arousal, and occupational participation• Learn practical strategies to support sensory modulation, body mapping, and self-regulation• Apply therapeutic activities and interventions across clinical, school, and home-based settings

Finding Safety and Stability: A Trauma-Informed Sensory Motor Approach - Live Webinar w/ Recording
2026-07-30 | Online – Live Webinar
Take an Inside Look at the Course
Listen to a preview of the Finding Safety and Stability Course to learn more about the power of proprioception and fascia; especially, when supporting individuals who have a history of increased stress and/or trauma.

This Course is Available as an On-Demand Recording!
Therapists and other professionals who work with individuals with sensory and developmental disorders (e.g. autism spectrum, attention deficit, learning disabilities) often encounter clients with difficulties related to developmental trauma. Traumatic events may be overt, such as early loss of a primary caregiver; sexual, physical or emotional abuse; or domestic, community and school violence. Trauma may also be innocent, such as early hospitalization and necessary lifesaving medical procedures in the neonatal intensive care unit. Exposure to adverse life experiences has been shown to increase the likelihood of social, emotional and developmental delays. Furthermore, children with developmental delays have a higher risk of being subjected to experiences involving physical, emotional and sexual abuse.
There is a growing understanding, and accompanying clinical practice that addresses the connection between sensory processing dysfunction and trauma. When an individual cannot adequately process sensory information or traumatic experiences, the body’s natural defense mechanisms become heightened, further impacting sensory processing disorder.
This live, one-day, online course will explore the connections between trauma, sensory processing and sensory integrative difficulties. Participants will learn how sound and movement are critical in the development of body based, perceptual motor, and social emotional foundations for feeling safe in the world and in relationship to another. Treatment labs will explore the basics of auditory and vestibular/somatosensory processing, and their relationship to arousal, attachment, self-regulation, and learning. Video and case presentations will bring key concepts and treatment strategies to life in this theoretically-based, yet practical course.
Receive the Gertie Ball, Power Up Ball, and Pinky Ball from Vital Sounds for the special rate of 15% off when you register for the Finding Safety and Stability course (S&H fees apply^). Vital Sounds coupon will be provided in course registration receipt.

Core Connections - Exploring the Core's Developmental Roots - Live Webinar w/ Recording
2026-07-09 | Online – Live Webinar
Core Concepts in Action Book – vitalsounds.com
This live, online course with recording access will provide therapists with a clear description of musculoskeletal make-up of the “core” and will cover the research-based neurophysiological rationale for evaluating core development and function in individuals with sensory processing difficulties. Core function will be explored from its developmental roots in the unfolding of the primary movement patterns (innate reflex development). Two key patterns (Moro and Tonic Labyrinthine) and their connections to core development and self-regulation will be discussed. A specific play-based observation tool that identifies core movement challenges and assists in prioritizing treatment strategies will be presented and explored through movement labs. Along with assessment, a variety of hands-on treatment strategies will be demonstrated through interactive, online labs. Video case presentation will be used to show practical clinical applications.
Receive the Gertie Ball and Power Up Ball from Vital Sounds for the special rate of 15% off when you register for the Core Connections course (S&H fees apply^). Vital Sounds coupon will be provided in course registration receipt.
Take an additional discount of $15 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously under the same web-order.

Embodied Sensation: Harnessing the Power of Interoception and Proprioception
2026-06-25 - 2026-07-03 | Online – Live Webinar
Join Sheila Frick for her New Course!

Recording Now Available!
Proprioception and interoception are frequently discussed within the field of occupational therapy to describe one’s awareness of their internal body signals. For individuals who experience difficulties with sensory modulation and sensory processing, inadequate interoceptive and proprioceptive awareness may contribute to struggles with body awareness, adaptable states of arousal, motor control, and regulation and awareness of homeostatic functions. Effective treatment strategies aim to modulate sensation, and support proprioceptive and interoceptive balance within the context of meaningful occupational participation.
Drawing from current science, this course will explore the neurological and anatomical foundations for proprioception, interoception, and vestibular processing. Practical application and discussions will illuminate how these sensations play a key role in self-sensing, body mapping for enhanced body scheme, and self-regulation. Therapists will leave this course with a comprehensive understanding of these key therapeutic concepts, along with a variety of practical and precise therapeutic activities that can be implemented across environments.

Finding Safety and Stability: A Trauma-Informed Sensory Motor Approach - Live Webinar w/ Recording
2026-05-01 | Online – Live Webinar
Take an Inside Look at the Course
Listen to a preview of the Finding Safety and Stability Course to learn more about the power of proprioception and fascia; especially, when supporting individuals who have a history of increased stress and/or trauma.

Available as a Recording!
Therapists and other professionals who work with individuals with sensory and developmental disorders (e.g. autism spectrum, attention deficit, learning disabilities) often encounter clients with difficulties related to developmental trauma. Traumatic events may be overt, such as early loss of a primary caregiver; sexual, physical or emotional abuse; or domestic, community and school violence. Trauma may also be innocent, such as early hospitalization and necessary lifesaving medical procedures in the neonatal intensive care unit. Exposure to adverse life experiences has been shown to increase the likelihood of social, emotional and developmental delays. Furthermore, children with developmental delays have a higher risk of being subjected to experiences involving physical, emotional and sexual abuse.
There is a growing understanding, and accompanying clinical practice that addresses the connection between sensory processing dysfunction and trauma. When an individual cannot adequately process sensory information or traumatic experiences, the body’s natural defense mechanisms become heightened, further impacting sensory processing disorder.
This live, one-day, online course will explore the connections between trauma, sensory processing and sensory integrative difficulties. Participants will learn how sound and movement are critical in the development of body based, perceptual motor, and social emotional foundations for feeling safe in the world and in relationship to another. Treatment labs will explore the basics of auditory and vestibular/somatosensory processing, and their relationship to arousal, attachment, self-regulation, and learning. Video and case presentations will bring key concepts and treatment strategies to life in this theoretically-based, yet practical course.
Receive the Gertie Ball, Power Up Ball, and Pinky Ball from Vital Sounds for the special rate of 15% off when you register for the Finding Safety and Stability course (S&H fees apply^). Vital Sounds coupon will be provided in course registration receipt.

Embodied Sensation: Harnessing the Power of Interoception and Proprioception- Live Webinar w/ Recording
2026-02-13 | Online – Live Webinar
Updated Course: Expanded Content for One-Day of Learning!
Recording Access Available!
Proprioception and interoception are frequently discussed within the field of occupational therapy to describe one’s awareness of their body position relative to the world around them and internal signals. For individuals who experience difficulties with sensory modulation and sensory processing, inadequate interoceptive and proprioceptive awareness may contribute to struggles with body awareness, breath regulation, adaptable states of arousal, organized movement and praxis, and regulation and awareness of homeostatic functions and affective emotion. Effective treatment strategies aim to modulate sensation, and support proprioceptive and interoceptive balance within the context of meaningful occupational participation.
Drawing from current science, this course will explore the neurological and anatomical foundations for proprioception, interoception, and vestibular processing. Practical application and discussions will illuminate how these sensations play a key role in self-referencing and body mapping for enhanced sense of our physical and emotional self. Therapists will leave this course with a comprehensive understanding of these key therapeutic concepts, along with a variety of practical and precise therapeutic activities that can be implemented across environments.
Receive the Gertie Ball and Power Up Ball from Vital Sounds for the special rate of 15% off when you register for the Embodied Sensation: Harnessing the Power of Interoception and Proprioception course (S&H fees apply^). Vital Sounds coupon will be provided in course registration receipt.

Finding Safety and Stability: A Trauma-Informed Sensory Motor Approach - Live Webinar w/ Recording
2025-12-05 | Online – Live Webinar
Take an Inside Look at the Course
Listen to a preview of the Finding Safety and Stability Course to learn more about the power of proprioception and fascia; especially, when supporting individuals who have a history of increased stress and/or trauma.

Available as a Recording!
Therapists and other professionals who work with individuals with sensory and developmental disorders (e.g. autism spectrum, attention deficit, learning disabilities) often encounter clients with difficulties related to developmental trauma. Traumatic events may be overt, such as early loss of a primary caregiver; sexual, physical or emotional abuse; or domestic, community and school violence. Trauma may also be innocent, such as early hospitalization and necessary lifesaving medical procedures in the neonatal intensive care unit. Exposure to adverse life experiences has been shown to increase the likelihood of social, emotional and developmental delays. Furthermore, children with developmental delays have a higher risk of being subjected to experiences involving physical, emotional and sexual abuse.
There is a growing understanding, and accompanying clinical practice that addresses the connection between sensory processing dysfunction and trauma. When an individual cannot adequately process sensory information or traumatic experiences, the body’s natural defense mechanisms become heightened, further impacting sensory processing disorder.
This live, one-day, online course will explore the connections between trauma, sensory processing and sensory integrative difficulties. Participants will learn how sound and movement are critical in the development of body based, perceptual motor, and social emotional foundations for feeling safe in the world and in relationship to another. Treatment labs will explore the basics of auditory and vestibular/somatosensory processing, and their relationship to arousal, attachment, self-regulation, and learning. Video and case presentations will bring key concepts and treatment strategies to life in this theoretically-based, yet practical course.
Receive the Gertie Ball, Power Up Ball, and Pinky Ball from Vital Sounds for the special rate of 15% off when you register for the Finding Safety and Stability course (S&H fees apply^). Vital Sounds coupon will be provided in course registration receipt.
Take an additional discount of $15 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously under the same web-order.

Core Connections - Exploring the Core's Developmental Roots - Live Webinar w/ Recording
2025-11-10 | Online – Live Webinar
Watch this course preview to gain insight into the early foundations for core development that later support and refine arousal regulation, motor planning, perceptual-motor skills, organized behavior, and engagement in the world around us.
Recording Access Available!
Core Concepts in Action Book – vitalsounds.com
This live, online course (with recording access) will provide therapists with a clear description of musculoskeletal make-up of the “core” and will cover the research-based neurophysiological rationale for evaluating core development and function in individuals with sensory processing difficulties. Core function will be explored from its developmental roots in the unfolding of the primary movement patterns (innate reflex development). Two key patterns (Moro and Tonic Labyrinthine) and their connections to core development and self-regulation will be discussed. A specific play-based observation tool that identifies core movement challenges and assists in prioritizing treatment strategies will be presented and explored through movement labs. Along with assessment, a variety of hands-on treatment strategies will be demonstrated through interactive, online labs. Video case presentation will be used to show practical clinical applications.

Astronaut Training - A Sound Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol - Live Webinar
2025-10-03 - 2025-10-04 | Online – Live Webinar
Free Course Preview

Curious why precise activation of the vestibular system is critical to function? Listen to Mary and Sheila as they discuss the power of this sensory system!
Book included with course
Without clear information coming from the vestibular system, sights and sounds in the environment do not make sense – they are only isolated pieces of information disconnected from each other and from the meaningful whole. It is integration of sensory information that holds the key for finding meaning in the world. This two-day course will explore the connections of the vestibular-visual-auditory triad and their subsequent impact on function. Additionally, this course will provide participants with a precise template for intervention strategies, including administration of Astronaut Training.
Who Should Attend:
Occupational therapists, speech/language pathologists, physical therapists, educators, human services professionals, and other medical professionals. Graduating students or graduate students of the aforementioned fields are also welcome.
Certification:
Participants will receive a certification in the Astronaut Training Protocol. This course provides participants with the necessary background information to immediately begin incorporating Astronaut Training into their programs.
Registration includes the handbook, Astronaut Training: A Sound Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol for Moving, Looking and Listening and its companion CD (S&H fees apply^).

Embodied Sensation: Harnessing the Power of Interoception and Proprioception- Live Webinar w/ Recording
2025-09-26 | Online – Live Webinar
Updated Course: Expanded Content for One-Day of Learning!
Recording Access Available!
Proprioception and interoception are frequently discussed within the field of occupational therapy to describe one’s awareness of their body position relative to the world around them and internal signals. For individuals who experience difficulties with sensory modulation and sensory processing, inadequate interoceptive and proprioceptive awareness may contribute to struggles with body awareness, breath regulation, adaptable states of arousal, organized movement and praxis, and regulation and awareness of homeostatic functions and affective emotion. Effective treatment strategies aim to modulate sensation, and support proprioceptive and interoceptive balance within the context of meaningful occupational participation.
Drawing from current science, this course will explore the neurological and anatomical foundations for proprioception, interoception, and vestibular processing. Practical application and discussions will illuminate how these sensations play a key role in self-referencing and body mapping for enhanced sense of our physical and emotional self. Therapists will leave this course with a comprehensive understanding of these key therapeutic concepts, along with a variety of practical and precise therapeutic activities that can be implemented across environments.

Feeling Safe, Capable, and Connected: A Sensorimotor Approach to Dynamic Posture Control
2025-09-12 - 2025-09-13 | Vancouver, Washington
Live In-Person Course

Our earliest developmental experiences, including the sensorimotor and relational components, feed the expression of posture and our quality of movement. These fundamental experiences not only contribute to the external, observable aspects of posture, but also one’s sense of self-competence in the development of the physical “me” in the field of gravity and in relationship to another. In some instances, the combination of key sensorimotor and relational components do not align to support the unfolding of stability, mobility, and freedom of expression through movement. This lack of postural integrity can negatively impact the development of fine motor, gross motor, postural attention for higher-level learning, and our ability to fully engage with the people and events around us.
As therapists, we must train our eyes to recognize, through key clinical observations, when these early foundations for posture and movement are disrupted. Furthermore, by understanding the unfolding of the developmental sequence and the key sensorimotor inputs therapists will be better equipped to design and implement tailored interventions necessary for the development of adaptive posture and physical expression of emotion.
This course will explore the developmental unfolding of posture, starting with the dynamic merging of sensations with key primary movement patterns to form our early physical base through the later development of anti-gravity skill, bilateral integration, and organized actions of relating in time and space. A combination of lecture, video examples, and experiential labs will be included throughout the course to further participants’ understanding of the developmental sequence and sensorimotor components of postural development and the affective, qualitative aspects of movement.

Recognize how posture is the byproduct of optimal sensory processing and the unfolding of key developmental movement patterns.
Identify three treatment strategies that support the release of defensive tension patterns and the regulation of physiological arousal.
Understand how the development of anti-gravity postural control contributes to our perception of body in space as an essential foundation for the development of all higher-level motor, perceptual, cognitive, and affect regulation.
Recognize the overlap between postural development and affective expression.
Identify three structured and unstructured clinical observations that inform a clinically reasoned approach to treatment.
