“There are only 4 ways the body answers pressure — it can resist, it can yield, it can focus, or it can feel” —The Somatic Skins
The Promise
Most people try to evolve through only mindset, strategy, or willpower.
We train the deeper architecture—your body's patterns of tension, attention, and perception.
Even for those who already perform at a high level, there's a point where skill and intellect stop moving the needle. What's next isn't more information — it's refinement. It's training the body to match the level of intelligence, intuition, and responsibility you already carry.
This is the training ground for who you become when pressure hits.
The result:
You become clearer under pressure, more powerful in relationships, more precise in decisions, and more consistent in the expression of who you want to be.
Applied somatics makes change unavoidable.
Why People Train Here
When pressure hits, your body tells the truth before your mind does.
Many of our members are already strong, self-aware, and successful in their fields. They come because most methods can't meet the sophistication of where they are now.
They're not seeking to be fixed — they're seeking precision. A body that can hold more energy, more clarity, and more creation without collapse or distortion.
They come to expand their range — to operate at higher stakes without losing coherence, to translate excellence in one arena into all arenas, and to access levels of expression that intellect alone can't reach.
That's why people join The Prestige — to stop repeating the same emotional loops, to build steadiness under stress, and to stay clear when things get complicated.
You come here:
To stop collapsing in conflict
To stop abandoning yourself
To stop living in reaction
To stop leaking energy and attention
To align your body, identity, and performance
To build a self that can't be thrown off center
And to multiply the power of what already works — clean, steady, and alive under pressure
How It Works Differently
We don't teach theory. We train your system.
You'll experience live, scenario-based simulations where your attention, breath, and structure are tested in real time—so you can practice staying clear, stable, and connected under pressure.
Not workshops.
Not lectures.
Not round-table discussions.
You don't "talk about" your somatics.
You meet them.
Master-Level Guidance Together, we are your hosts and guides....
Our Somatic Framework
A model that connects what you feel, how you move, and what you create.
We map how your physiology, psychology, and performance interact through three interlocking layers:
Capacity — The 10 Substrate Principles + integrated mind-body practices
Somatic Skins — Your psychosomatic patterning (native → conditioned → evolved)
Regulators — Structure, attention, breath
Together, these form a complete architecture for somatic development.
Your training path is visible, precise, and repeatable.
We are Lindsay Davis and Tom Fazio — co-founders of The Prestige and creators of The Somatic Skins and Substrate models.
Here, you'll receive live coaching that links your behavior in training to how you lead, create, and relate in your life.
We meet you at the level you already operate — and then train the layers that no one else can see.
This is where experience becomes integration — where insight turns into capacity you can trust.

The Results You'll Notice
If you're already good at what you do, this doesn't replace your mastery — it refines it.
Your attention sharpens. Your range widens. The same situations that used to drain you now reveal entirely new levels of intelligence and influence.
Conflict no longer throws you.
Your nervous system stays stable under stress.
You stop leaking energy and second-guessing.
You start moving with clarity, presence, and weight.
You gain:
Emotional coherence
Nervous system stability
Presence that carries weight
Creative power
Adaptability
Clarity in identity and action
A body you can trust under pressure
These aren't concepts.
They're physical competencies.
The Grand Formidable
This is where excellence becomes art. Where mastery stops being effort and starts becoming nature.
A person who moves as sovereign—fully behind the eyes, present, alive, and in contact with reality as it is. Someone who can meet any change or challenge without losing coherence, and create from within it.
It's what it feels like when your power and presence finally match the depth of who you are.
The Prestige is the training ground.
