Jeanine Talento

Somatic Therapy Practitioner
Yoga Teacher Trainer 
Trauma & Nervous System Educator

Jeanine Talento, E-RYT 500, is a Trauma & Nervous System Educator, Yoga Teacher Trainer, Somatic Therapy Training Provider & OCD Peer Advocate.

Jeanine received her Bachelor’s Degree from CUNY Queens College in New York City in 2013 and is currently pursuing her Master’s Degree in Psychology at Harvard University, Division of Continuing Education. With 3000+ hours of Trauma-Informed education, she has been facilitating Yoga Teacher Trainings and Somatic Therapy courses since 2015 and has dedicated her life to sharing and studying this necessary and culture-shifting work.

Jeanine believes in the power of healing through reclaiming the body as the central space through which we process and experience our lives. Through nervous system education, somatic curiosity, and embracing vulnerability, individuals can learn to revere and celebrate all parts of who they are, thus living more full and vibrant lives. Jeanine uses a multidisciplinary approach to body-based interventions that gradually guide her clients to orient towards feelings of safety and regulation within their physical form.

Jeanine is committed to her on-going development as a teacher, space holder, and human being. Jeanine completed the year long graduate level program Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Gabor Mate, six-month Introduction to Internal Family Systems with Dick Schwartz, a year-long Certificate in Contemplative Psychotherapy at The Nalanda Institute, and an Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Certification through The Embody Lab with Arielle Schwartz and Dr. Scott Lyons.

In 2019, Jeanine founded the Trauma-Informed sect of School Yoga Institute.

In 2022, Jeanine co-founded the Somatic Therapy Practitioner Certification with Nichole Ferro and The Somatic Arts Academy.

Jeanine currently travels internationally offering 200hr & 300hr Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Trainings, Somatic Therapy Courses, 50hr Continuing Education courses for Mental Health Professionals, Nervous System workshops and Women’s Retreats. She has led programs in Portugal, Spain, Germany, Bali, Thailand, Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru, Panama and the United States. Her home-base is Oceanside, California.
