Empowering therapists and educators to connect deeply with children through Somatic awareness, emotional regulation, and constructive development.
Celebrating 20 Years of Empowering Your Work with Children!
A Thank You Message to Everyone on This 20-Year Journey.
Reflecting on 20 years of the program’s journey, it’s inspiring to see how our mission has evolved and deepened. What began as a grassroots effort to support children and communities affected by the 2005 tsunami has grown into a refined approach for therapists and educators. Starting with “Trauma Healing Through Play” and later evolving into “Kids in Tune,” our work centered on empowering children through connection and resilience. Now, as we transition to the KidSoma Method, we’re closer than ever to the heart of our mission: integrating somatic principles into professional practice to support children in feeling whole, empowered, and deeply understood. This journey reflects our dedication to nurturing every child’s potential by equipping those who support them with tools that honor the body, mind, and spirit. I am thanks for all the support and dedication and this journey would not have been possible without the invaluable support, wisdom, and dedication of so many along the way. To all the friends, colleagues, collaborators, participants, and the masters from whom we’ve learned and grown—thank you. Your contributions have enriched this path, making KidSoma a true collaboration of hearts and minds. I am deeply grateful to each of you for your trust, passion, and shared commitment to empowering children and those who care for them.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Alé Duarte & Team

Personal and professional support
My programs are designed to enhance personal development and professional's practice in the area of therapy, education, and social entrepreneurship with the competence to understand and manage challenging situations confidently.
"One of the most profound training I have ever done. Everyone is so dedicated to loving children exactly as they are, showing me that many beautiful humans want to help. It was a breath of fresh air in a world that feels so overwhelming."

"This is quite simply the most fun and most effectively taught workshop I have ever attended, in any discipline. Alé’s presence and bodyfulness, his ability to distil the essence, communicate & connect – sensorial & verbally – graphically, energetically – is the key to the experiences that matter."
Kids in Tune May 2022
"What I love most about Alé's teaching is that he empowers the participants of the courses to develop their own ideas. Rather than teaching a recipe or a bunch of tools and games, he teaches frameworks and principles so people can use it combined with their own unique skills and in the situation they work in."

"What I love most about Alé's teaching is his capacity to empower the participants to develop their own ideas. Alé teaches framework and principles that people can combine with their skills and apply to their situations at work. Alé is an absolute role model in dealing with children and young people playfully and naturally."
Eva Fenrich
"I highly recommend Alé's course to anyone working with children of any age (0-100). I envision a world where this knowledge is basic to at least teachers, therapists, social workers etc - or even better - to everyone who cares about a caring and healing environment for themselves and others."
Fiona Pollard
"I've told everyone I've met in the past three weeks about Alé's course. I think it is fundamental for anyone working with kids or teens to know about it. Learning Alé's approach and thechniques enable a gentle yet profound journey into kids nervous systems, into playfulness, into our shared human experience and into our own nervous system."
Kids in Tune Essentials, December 2022
"Alé's work beautifully encapsulates the essence of respecting and valuing every human being, embracing their innate ability to self-regulate and create space for life's natural flow"
