Amazing journey to find out how to…
Amazing journey to find out how to release your emotional barriers and create your best life out of your Potentials.
The moment I saw the work that NER is…
The moment I saw the work that NER is doing, I felt a calling in my heart, a pull that I have never felt before. It has helped me create a greater understanding for humanity and a greater understanding for me body, and my life. I have uncovered a purpose within my life with this work. I am forever grateful for this training and I am honored to continue to dive deeper and deeper in.
Be ready to experience yourself
If you are reading this review you may have seen many videos about how emotional release sessions could look like, a lot of screaming, crying and releasing. That´s what i also thought before i started the training. If you start to get into this work be also ready for SUPPORT and LOVE (and of course a lot of tears and emotions that have been stuck in your bodysystem)!
Wow – that was the most unexpected experience during the Retreat in Turkey. The whole team is there to support you as you are. You can allow yourself to be who you really are with all your emotions, all your beauty and all your uglyness. There is no Judgment. Just pure presence with whatever is.
"How much LOVE can you handle?" - This question is my most precious memory of the time during the training.
And that´s also what you learn, to hold the space unconditionally and allow to let the things unfold. Witnessing and trusting the intelligence of our bodies.
I´m more than touched and imprinted by this experience, so thankful!!!!
And the team is always trying to improve the training online and offline. It´s always transforming and you get addicted ;)
So much value for oneself and whole humanity! THANKYOU!
The NER Training was breathtaking for me and changed the way I work with clients
David Manning and the great Neo Emotional Release Team are grounded, open minded and direct in their teachings.
The Training gave me a lot of confidence to put what I learned into my daily life and work with clients.
I love the way we learn more detailled knowledge about the body, the Fascia, the somatic bodywork, about the body map, about what organ is related to what emotion. Of course every body and every life is different- but we are all humans and we have so much in common with each other.
Thank you for this work and your passion, dear Emotional Release Institute :-)
Best adress to learn about somatics and human potential
The NER-Institute is the best adress to learn about the field of somatics, coaching and generelly access the true potential of being human.
Since I started the Somatic Evolution Program there was a profound shift in the work with my clients and in myself.
For me, it is the best foundation to start working with the core wounds of humanity and the NER-Method brings a huge potential to bring real change into world as I can see what kind of transformation is activated in my clients.
But it’s amazing how much space there is for one’s own healing journey to embody what this work is about.
For that I appreciate the community with the teacher, facilitators and fellow students, where you can feel so much dedication and connection to really see the others as they really are.
Thanks to Matthias, who has so much knowledge and wisdom that the Q&A Sessions get highly valuable.
Thanks to Finn, who leads the Red:Room and is guiding with his expertise and courage the participants through an intense experience of dynamics and triggers back into integrity.
And thanks to David and the whole Team for creating all of this!
Looking forward where this journey leads me 🙏
NER training was beyond what I could…
NER training was beyond what I could have ever imagined it to be. It was certainly a core life event that will affect the rest of my life. I have received so much more than just the skills we learned to become facilitators and spread this work further. I have found my way to my true self.
I came to the realization of how narrow was the spectrum of emotions I could recognize and feel. In this training, I have met, befriended, accepted and expressed emotions such as happiness, excitement, joy, lust, gratitude, peace, stillness, as well as grief, shame, guilt, anger and disgust.
I have met and accepted my inner feminine goddess, this powerful, fierce and sexual being, as well as nurturing, soft, creative, loving and accepting aspect of it.
I have found a community where I feel I am safe to express my true self, where I am safe to ask for what I need, where I feel held and supported and loved just the way I am.
I have found the inspiration, confidence and power to be the creator of my own life. To live out my soul’s purpose. To hold space for people who do not want to live in this cage with the norms society is pressing on us since the first breath we take.
I will be forever grateful for this experience. For all the magic that has happened in the training and the magic that continues on within the community and RED:ROOM calls.
There is no price you can put on the knowledge and experience you get in the NER institute, truthfully.
The potency of Neo emotional release work is huge and it's definitely the future of our healing. It's the way for us to step back in to our heart, in to our bodies and come back home to ourselves, which is what more and more people are looking for. I am yet to come across a client who would not be blown away by the potency and depth this method offers.
It's definitely the best investment I have ever done!
Tuning into where it matters...
If you are looking for a course with nicely curated materials/worksheets/best practices that you can just adopt into your own practice/life, then perhaps this course may not be what you're looking for. I admit, that was what the intellectual side of me tried to focus on at the beginning. But if you are ready to take a deeper look within yourself, to tune into where it matters the most, as part of your healing journey, then this is the place for you. As many others have shared, the real gem of this course is in the connection you will experience, with the teachers, facilitators and community, and most of all, with Yourself. And through that safe connection you will learn to tune into all the parts of you and begin your journey to become whole again. The Red Room, the live calls and practices with others are what I value the most, something I've not experienced in other courses before! It is not going to be nicely packaged and delivered, because life isn't like that. It is going to be messy, ugly, frustrating but also immensely wonderful and life changing. I am grateful for a chance to be part of that.
P/s: Don't let the videos of people releasing emotions/angers scare you away. If it triggers something inside you (just like it did for me), that is perhaps your body signaling where you need to look. I'm glad I did!
This training is a one of a kind…
This training is a one of a kind experience.
Why? Because it changes who you are, as a person.
This may sound scary and yes it is, but it's the way to become fully yourself, fully alive, fully human.
Other trainings (at least the ones I participated in or that I know of) put the main emphasis on teaching techniques and giving the students in knowledge about facilitating. And this is great, and makes for great teachers and facilitators, but it is limited. Because it leaves out the most important aspect of a therapist/facilitator/coach - client interaction. Which is: The inner state of the therapist /facilitator/coach. When it comes to this, I feel like most trainings don't dare go further, because then it gets personal.
Well this training does go further. It will give at least as much importance on who you are, as a person, than on tools and technique. So you will be taken on a journey of self discovery and self transformation that goes deep.
For example when I did my yoga teacher training, I learned the postures and I learned how to cue. But in order to apply what I learned I could basically stay the same person that I was before the training. I could incorporate my practice and teaching in my life without too much of a change.
But here, it's different. Why? Because I can't authentically apply the tools and technique that NER uses, if I don't apply them to myself. And this means, first of all that I have to open up to vulnerability. To intend to allow all of myself and to show up with whatever this is. This can not be done in isolation. And therefore, the process of becoming an NER facilitator will enforce some changes. For example, you will feel drawn to have a honest conversation with a person who hurt you, instead of pushing them a way. Instead of projecting your feelings on others, you will likely start to take reponsibility and inquire what those projectings tell you about yourself. You will become interested in how other people really are, behind the masks and layers they put up for society. This training will change how you interact with the world around you. It will make you more authentic in every way.
I am still in the process of this transformation and I am excited where this journey will take me further.
I am grateful for the safe space that the facilitators create. And for how they give all of themselves for this training. And only like this, a transformative course such as this becomes possible.
Thank you very much already, and I am looking to continue on this journey.
Wait, there is actually the key for so many "problems"?
After hearing about the Neo Emotional Release Technique for the first time on various podcasts (Mischa Janiec, Set&Setting), I had no idea of the profound depth that lay within the system and the company.
The manner in which David, the visionary behind NER, spoke with crystal clarity about the process of healing, particularly emotional healing, resonated deeply within me. It was an experience that made me sense its authenticity on a profound level.
For close to a decade, I've been consuming, interpreting, processing and integrating (well, at least sometimes) content within the realm of "personal development." In this time, I've come across a lot of teachings, witnessed diverse approaches and ventured into numerous experiments. Among these, alongside a handful of plant medicine experiences, I dare say that the insights from this program stand as one of the most significant revelations I've ever encountered.
What I admire the most:
- The integral approach: All facets of the "art of healing" can be interwoven. On a deep level, it boils down to principles - the way one translates them is a personal journey.
The weekly calls:
- weekly Q&A: It's a space where you can inquire about any topic, sessions with clients, or personal challenges, and receive responses or counter-questions that often hold universal wisdom.
- The RED:ROOM: A space for all, where Finn Rößner (Supervisor), with his brilliant, intelligent, sometimes hard but every time loving and compassionate manner, supervises - sometimes he drives people into own emotional releases, sometimes he spreads wisdom on meta-level about dynamics, energy, relationships, money, business and more.
Each session with him feels like my brain is being rewired, with a new update being installed.
- Weekly practice session: after a quick intro, a partner and you will practice. After that, you can share feedback and ask questions with the supervisor. Very effective.
- The community: Incredibly supportive, profoundly deep and vulnerable.
- The hosts: It's evident that the hosts / supervisors know, practice, and have experienced what they speak of. They create and hold spaces where profound healing can unfold and knowledge will be delivered. Every time.
- The program for your own journey: "Drink your own medicine," "Honesty with oneself is crucial in healing," "There are no problems, only emotions you don't want to feel," "Trust your triggers," "The more resistance, the clearer the way."
Just some of many quotes.
- A "state-of-the-art" online course, executed with technical finesse and precision. Most calls will be recorded and uploaded quickly. Quick feedback and mobile consume possible.
A shaman once told me, "Healing is hard, but it doesn't have to be difficult." Similarly, this program can present challenges, as it involves diving deep within oneself to explore the unwitnessed.
At this point, I would like to express my gratitude to the team for their effort, time, knowledge and wisdom.
Much Love,
Max Lindner
One of a kind
The work carried out by the NEO Emotional Release Institute is truly unparalleled. I am profoundly grateful to have undergone their training and to have become a part of this remarkable community. It unquestionably represents the vital missing piece within the realm of healing, given its integrative and profoundly impactful approach.
Having participated in numerous coaching and training programs, I can confidently affirm that this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. It not only equips you with a comprehensive understanding of the entire spectrum of human emotions and how to effectively engage with them, but it also facilitates a profound journey of self-discovery.
One aspect that particularly distinguishes this experience is the transformative RED:ROOM, an innovative space where you have the unique opportunity to receive expert supervision in this field. These interactions have significantly increased my confidence and growth.
I wholeheartedly endorse this institute and its training programs to anyone intrigued by diving deeper into the intricate nuances of human nature and the fundamental forces that drive us.
Thank you guys for this wonderful work 🙏🏾✨
Learning the Superpower of the 21. Century
The first time I heard from Neo Emotional Release, was like over 1 1/2 Years Ago. But only after I experienced the power of it myself in a Session, I knew I wanted to learn this!
How to hold Space - for myself, my emotions and others.
How to see myself in all my pity and greatness - and to see others in theirs.
How to Heal People through and with their emotions, their wounds, their experience.
For me its just the superpower of the 21. Century 🔥
The Practice of N.E.R. feels and works so flawless, so natural and the Training is really easy.
Easy to get into it, by learning one step at a time.
Easy to get better in it, because of all the support from the team and other trainees.
Don´t get me wrong it´s a lot to learn and to experience!
Theory, Practicing and of course processing your own journey and the things you are learning.
I feel very very safe, seen and heard from everbody in the Emotional Release Team. They are really professionals, experts and empathic human beings.
This training is one of the most profound (emotional) experiences ever for me!
Right now, it feels like the last 5 years or so I worked on myself and especially the last 2 1/2 years are slowly coming together. I finally trust myself enough to go my own way, the way of healing myself and others – and you are giving me a powerful tool for this. So many shifts in my body, emotions, highs, and lows. In my Relationship with myself, others, my business. Wow. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤️🔥
This community is what the world needs
This community is what the world needs!
I am blown away by the content of this platform, the dept of information, the safe space in all their calls.
It is truly transformative to be learning these skills and tools on regulating the nervous system (for yourself and your potential clients).
This platform has helped me get in touch with parts that I have been suppressing all my life (and I am only 6 weeks in).
The community calls are so beautiful and open, inviting our authentic selves to show up and be seen by all participants. Definitely would recommend to everyone 10/10!
Pure Expansion & Soul Communty
My journey with Emotional Release Institute has been one of the most profound experiences of 28 years on this Earth. Not only has it opened so many door in my professional career, it also changed my perception of life on so many deep levels.
I started my journey dealing with severe chronic pain issues. NER has helped me significantly to allow this phase of my life and the emotions, that are coming with it. My connection & understanding of my body as well as my emotions deepened beyond belief.
Before NER I used to work as a self-employed holistic vocal coach. After my trainings I could expand my skillset to a maximum and already help so many people and groups - connecting with the root causes of their pain.
Forever grateful for this
soul community,
the team,
this work!
THANK YOU.
Life changing Experience
Neo Emotional Release training was definitely a life changing experience for me.
The presence of love and community during our online and in person training was so beautiful and heart opening. Meeting so many like minded people from all over the world, holding space for each other in our deepest and darkest healing processes was truly a blessing.
I loved the practice sessions during our online training. It made us get out of our shells, trust each other, and really deepen the ability to help one another.
My favorite part during the Mexico training was the intentionality behind everything, and the love and community we experienced, and the support we felt from each other and the team.
I still struggle to find words about this training, but no one will ever take this experience from my heart.
A whole new approach to healing
After years of working on myself through meditation and yoga, the Neo Emotional Release training was probably the biggest eye-opener for me when it comes to personal and spiritual development. It really gave me a whole new perspective! And that was just the beginning: the practicality of the method was a "hands-on" approach to healing and helping others grow in the way that is most natural to them. What I love about the Neo Emotional Release approach is that it is not constrained into a single method but allows enough flexibility to flow through the process and use our intuition to switch between the levels and dimension that the human being is comprised of. Physical, energetical, emotional, symbolical, spiritual. Working with people in this way taught me how unique we all are! And the ability to flow whereever it is necessary is the secret for me. As I see it, the Neo Emotional Release approach is not just about "releasing" forbidden or forgotten emotions or parts of ourselves, but an opportunity to learn, through feelings, more of who we really are. Not theoretically, but practically, physically, energetically and spiritually. And that is what really can change how we see ourselves. The more we know who we are, the more we can accept it and the more we can love ourselves. And the more we can relax into the flow of life, acceptence, love, peace.
For someone without prior therapy or coaching experiences the whole training process was intense, but so interesting and fruitful! I loved the challenge of it and the in-person training was a blast - both for my mindset and my nervous system as well. It was one of the strongest experiences in my life and opened many doors for me. I continue using this approach both when working with clients and working with groups as well. I am grateful for the Emotional Release Institute to put the program together.
Embarking on a Journey of Emotional Intelligence & Community
I just recently started the Somatic Evolution Online Course and will also participate in the Bodywork Retreat and Facilitator Certification.
And so far the Journey has been a great experience! What I find especially outstanding is the authenticity and compassion inside the community, life calls and online formats.
The Team embodies their values and shared vision, and my encounters with the other students so far also have been open sharings and mutual support on the journey.
At times my mind is still a bit sceptical towards some of the concepts, because they depart from the general scientific consent, but empirically speaking this work is powerful and has the potential to transform lives.
But it really is a beautiful contrast to other educations I have been part of, which seemed to be more geared towards maximising profits in the name of self responsibility of the customer, instead of the human aspects of community & actually caring about their participants.
So far for me it is definitely worth the money after seeing it from the inside and beyond the social media content.
All I can say is that these people actually do care, and are working, teaching and living from their heart!
Empowering and heart-opening on all levels
It has been such an empowering and heart-opening experience to be part of the neo emotional release training. I was a bit uncertain about applying because I wasn’t working in this area yet. But the team took my doubts and soon I really felt that I am guided by my intuition - as all of us - and our body intelligence.
The potential of this approach is SO extremely powerful. We not only learned how to get in touch with our emotions and release them but also reshape our relationship towards what is underneath. That we see the human being as one entity. The knowledge and techniques we are learning are amazing, absolutely fascinating and simply magical.
I ALWAYS felt so safe and held, during the online and offline training. The teaching and practice calls are always absolutely beautiful, to learn, to practice and to connect with the group. The community is just amazing, meeting like-minded people all over the world, showing and expressing our true natural self, to be seen, held and to share so much love♥️
During the offline training I experienced so much healing and came in contact with some major topics and blocked emotions, especially shame and guilt, that I felt my family and I have been carrying along for a long time. I felt anger for the first time and experienced SO much life force energy flowing in my body, so much joy, power and confidence - that is still present. My body feels so much lighter.
After the offline training there is a lot of support regarding uncertainties or questions so that I felt confident to start directly with giving sessions (which I could never have imagined before the training) and I feel so honored and passionate to share this with the world.
I am deeply grateful for the whole team sharing their wisdom and energy and creating a safe container for all of us. The training has changed my life✨
The missing link in my journey back to wholesomeness!
I have had therapy for many years and it really helped me to reorganize my thoughts. But I always missed something and couldn’t articulate it, until I found more about somatic experiencing and books for example from Gabor Maté or Bessel van der Kolk. After reading many many books I realized I need to get active and work with my body to make my healing complete.
One day I listened to a podcast with David Manning - it was straight in the heart and I know that’s the missing link! This guy is a genius for following his curiosity and I’m amazed how deep his knowledge and personality is!
So I signed up for the course and the retreat. The online course already brought so much more up to the light. I already feel different and got a deep understanding what my body provided for me all the years.
It’s not like the other courses I’ve done before! You really work deep on yourself and if you’re not prepared or willing to go deep, it’s maybe not the right thing for you!
I’ve done the online course so far - the retreat will be in September, but I already know that this is the best investment I’ve ever done for myself!
And for all the scientific persons here - I’m a health scientist (MSc) from the heart - it’s nothing hanky panky magical wuuhwuuh, it’s literally science, that should be taught in every school and university, because it would make the life so much easier and the world to a better place!
I actually think this work is so much more valuable, than I’ve payed for it!

An infinite amount of healing potential
As a long time somatic therapist, birth worker and space holder, I felt deeply that there must be a deeper embodied healing praxis to get to the root of emotional and also physical pain and symptoms. This training delivered on everything I could hope for and more. David and the team are truly gifted teachers who model how to hold yourself while offering this work holding space for others. The intuitive connection here is priceless, the way that David activates the intuitive knowing to apply to healing in a structured and accessible way, is something no other training or therapy school can touch.
In my own process, I have experienced deep quantum healing in my lineage. I released years of chronic pain resulting from my pregnancies and postpartum emotional burdens. I have witnessed myself and my partner and children, and even women in my lineage release toxic stories and open our hearts to the beauty and love that a truly embodied life can offer. I am forever grateful for making this investment in myself and in the healing potential for those I can hold space.

Going through NER Training -> one of the best decisions I‘ve made.
When I encountered the work of Neo Emotional Release the first time I was looking for a while to add „a new skill to my tool box“. At that point for sure I did not imagine at ALL the kind of ride I was getting on :)
Having worked in Training & Development/Coaching for some years I always felt that at a certain stage I would hit some sort of wall with clients. Some point we could not get past. Also change seemed to be coming hard and was often not sustainable. I first started to work intuitively with the body, trying different modalities but kept on looking for…something.
This „something“ came to me in the form of a video showing a client in an NER process that had me fascinated! So I registered for a masterclass which was promoted in the video: over two hours in which I repeatedly thought : „YES! That is it.“ Afterwards I immediately registered for the full training, not thinking twice-which I usually always do.
Going through the online training and the 10 day Bodywork Retreat turned my world around. It changed my work completly, added to my ability to serve clients, delivering amazing results for the people I work with. But most importantly it changed myself in so many ways: My ability to hold myself, to understand my inner dynamics, to guide myself and therefore being able to hold space for my family so much better. Just priceless.
So what can I say? I am beyond grateful that this kind of work exists, that it came to me and that I allowed myself to dive into it. Would I recommend to train with Emotional Releases Institute? Always.
