The AP + Co Academy is an on-demand clinical school designed for therapists and healers who want to move beyond the surface. We provide specialized, somatic-based trainings that bridge the gap between clinical theory and lived embodiment.
Our curriculum is built on a Trauma-Informed Foundation, pulling directly from Angela Prior’s decade-plus of expertise in the delicate intersections of:
- Somatic Therapies: Learning to "speak the language of the nervous system" to help clients move through trauma rather than just talking about it.
- Eating Disorder Recovery: Utilizing a non-diet, weight-inclusive lens to help clients safely experience their bodies.
- Chronic Illness & Invisible Disability: Navigating the unique somatic challenges of clients living with chronic pain, illness, and medical trauma.
"I really appreciated how experiential the Embodied Clinician training was. Angela provided clear, grounded explanations of why we use somatic practices, along with practical, immediately usable tools for sessions. She intentionally built in time to practice the somatic techniques during the training, which made the learning feel embodied rather than theoretical.”

Somatic Integration
Move beyond the "neck up." Our trainings provide a roadmap for tracking somatic cues, managing dissociation, and introducing movement into the clinical hour with ethical clarity and confidence.
Specialized Recovery
Deep-dive into the niches where traditional talk therapy often feels stuck. We focus on the high-stakes work of eating disorder recovery and the nuanced somatic needs of those living with chronic illness.
Trauma-Informed Excellence
Every course is rooted in safety, choice, and transparency. We teach you how to create a therapeutic environment that honors the client's lived experience while protecting your own energy as a provider.
Hi, I’m Angela Prior
"I created the AP + Co Academy because I saw a gap in clinical education. Many therapists are trained in talk therapy, and many yoga teachers are trained in movement, but few are taught how to safely weave the two together—especially for clients dealing with the complexities of eating disorders and chronic illness.
My mission is to give you the embodied lens needed to expand your expertise. These on-demand courses provide the practical, use-it-tomorrow tools you need to help your clients find peace in their bodies, while helping you build a sustainable, high-impact practice." — Angela Prior, LCSW-S, E-RYT
