About
Clarity over jargon. Practice over overload.
An independent educational academy and publisher focused on practical, transparent nervous-system education.
About Soma Atlas Academy
Practical Education for Understanding Your Patterns.
Soma Atlas Academy creates structured educational tools that turn complex nervous-system concepts into practical maps, worksheets and experiments people can actually use.
We believe useful education should help people ask better questions, notice patterns and make informed choices without pretending that a workbook can diagnose or treat them.

Who Leads the Education
Claire Bennett.
Educational Lead.
Claire Bennett develops practical educational resources focused on nervous-system literacy, somatic awareness and structured self-observation.
At Soma Atlas Academy, she works on turning complex concepts around stress, autonomic patterns and regulation into clear frameworks, worksheets and practical tools that can be used in everyday life.
State First. Technique Second.
Rather than presenting regulation as a collection of isolated exercises, her work emphasizes noticing patterns, choosing small experiments and learning from individual responses.

Special Interests
- Autonomic nervous-system education
- Somatic and body-awareness practices
- Stress-response patterns
- Interoception
- Co-regulation
- Window of Tolerance
- Evidence-informed educational design
Evidence Matters
Clear About What We Know.
Clear About What We Don't.
Soma Atlas Academy separates research findings from clinical frameworks and avoids treating every nervous-system claim as established science.
Well Established
Strong consistent evidence or basic physiology.
Research-Supported
Reasonably good peer-reviewed evidence with limitations.
Early Evidence
Promising but preliminary.
Clinical Framework
A model used in clinical or educational settings that should not automatically be treated as established biological fact.
Polyvagal Theory is discussed as a conceptual and clinical framework where relevant, while ongoing scientific debate is acknowledged.
Reference Library
Built Around Research, Not Wellness Buzzwords.
Clinical frameworks and further reading include
- Stephen W. Porges
- Deb Dana
- Daniel J. Siegel
- Peter A. Levine
- Pat Ogden
- Kekuni Minton
- Clare Pain
- Pete Walker
- Bessel van der Kolk
The workbook also includes peer-reviewed research references related to autonomic physiology, breathing, stress, co-regulation, interoception, movement, sleep, sensory processing and other relevant topics.
References indicate intellectual and research sources only. Inclusion does not imply endorsement, affiliation or review of Soma Atlas Academy.
Educational Safety
Education, Not Diagnosis.
The Nervous System Atlas is an educational resource designed to support self-observation and low-intensity experimentation.
The workbook encourages users to stop any practice that increases distress or concerning physical symptoms and to seek appropriate professional support when needed.
