Professionals as People
Personal AST Model Sessions
Professional excellence goes hand in hand with personal development. The more we liberate ourselves from what holds us back, the more empowered we become to liberate others, especially in the very vulnerable terrain of shame or the intersection of shame and trauma. The kindest thing you can do for those you serve is to experience a series of shame resolving sessions for yourself.

Non-Somatic Professionals
Skill Building for Professionals
As therapists, counselors, coaches, healers, and spiritual mentors when your alliance with your client is floundering your client can feel abandoned or betrayed and you can become demoralized and experience terrible forms of stress and burn out. AST Model has taught hundreds of mental health professionals, social workers, helping and healing professionals around the world how to navigate shame resolution with relaxed presence, compassion and skill. The confidence and ease you gain from your learning brings a flow to the work that is deeply gratifying to you and your clients.

SEP or Somatic Professionals
Specialty Curriculum for SEPs
The Intersection between Shame & Trauma AST Model for SEPs Specialty Curriculum Designed for More Effective Client Outcomes
Like trauma, specific skills are required to make it possible to fully resolve shame and end the redundant neuro-chemical looping of shame cycles. Yet, shame’s resolution has often been misunderstood by most models including somatic-based approaches. This online course will introduce SEPs to why the complex nature of shame sometimes makes its resolution elusive, and how through the AST Model®’s unique neuro-biological approach offers SEPs missing tools that can create sustainable and deeply gratifying shame relief and life-affirming shifts that transform lives.
What is AST Model?
AST Model®’s potential potency lies in its ability to draw from the latest findings in a number of today’s leading fields. The AST Model® combines cutting-edge neuroscience + the latest findings in brain development + attachment theory + bio-energetics + studies in stress physiology + and the Eastern practice of mindful awareness in one non-medical/non-psychological, organic method designed to transform your whole self to re-embody life!

Hi, I’m Caryn Scotto d’ Luzia
When I began down this path 30 years ago, I experienced painful inner conflicts. Although I was widely praised, I felt like what I accomplished was never enough. How to get my needs met in relationships was a complete mystery.
I became convinced that superficial “fixes” touted by so many gurus were neither effective nor sustainable. To truly engage the change process, I needed to shift how I related to myself. This involved rewiring my nervous system specific to my unique life experiences and trusting what resonated within my body and spirit, not just my mind.
This journey led me to synthesize key kernels from the fields of yoga, neuroscience, attachment theory, trauma recovery and resiliency. I began to successfully facilitate my process for individuals, groups and professionals all over the world.
Time and again, it brought me to the same conclusion. The linchpin that keeps all core inner suffering from shifting be it man, woman, addict, overachiever, atheist, religious devotee, creative, or intellectual is inhibition. Once the impulse to block ourselves from what we need finds its way inside us it can live and even breed there. It can loop for years or decades unless we know how to help it transform.
I hope what I have shared here peaks your curiosity. That you are truly inspired to find out what AST Model of Holistic Shame Resolution can do for you and your expression of professional excellence with the clients you serve. As my FREE Rainstick Technique 5 part online learning awaits you, I wish you the same deep sense of inspiration and inner ease I have come to know inside myself and when I work with people from every corner of the globe each day.
Warmly,
Caryn
