Across six core modules, you’ll move through a journey of understanding, embodiment and integration – developing the knowledge and practical tools to bring a trauma-informed approach into your work.

01 — Trauma & the Body

Understand trauma through a somatic lens, exploring the nervous system, safety, somatic awareness and your role as a practitioner.

02 — Breath & the Nervous System

Explore regulation, dysregulation, polyvagal theory and the breath’s relationship with the nervous system.

03 — Listening & Communication

Develop deeper skills in attunement, active listening, conscious communication, grounding and boundaries.

04 — Emotion & Regulation

Understand emotional release, the window of tolerance and how to support processing without creating overwhelm or re-traumatisation.

05 — Touch, Consent & Connection

Learn how to use touch safely and appropriately, exploring co-regulation, consent, boundaries and connection.

06 — Integration & Practice

Bring your learning together by teaching back to the group and receiving feedback, while exploring how to integrate your skills into your own offerings and step forward with confidence.

Yes, in a meaningful way. This training supports you in seeing each person as a whole individual, not just the issue they present with. It invites you to consider their lived experience, and how that shapes what’s showing up in the moment. You’ll begin to notice more, listen more deeply, and respond in a way that honours the person in front of you, working at a pace that supports safety, trust, and integration.

In order to fully benefit from the course, attendance is required to at least 5 out of 6 in-person sessions. While you will have access to an online database for reference, the in-person teach-ins are an essential part of the learning process. Missing these sessions may impact your ability to fully integrate the material and engage in the experiential aspects of the training. If you’re unable to commit to this, we suggest joining us at a later time when you can fully participate.

To participate in this course, you need to have at least one year of accreditation and experience within your field. Upon completion, you’ll be equipped to integrate trauma-informed approaches into your work, and start holding somatic sessions for your community. However, this is not a stand-alone course that qualifies you as a teacher.

Yes, absolutely! The course is designed to be flexible, with sessions held every other Saturday afternoon. This schedule allows you to balance your professional and personal commitments while engaging fully in the training.

Trauma work is less about chasing or digging into past experiences and more about working with what is alive in the body in the present moment. While this training will empower you to hold deeply transformative spaces, it’s important to understand that trauma healing is a continuous, lifelong process. We do not promise to “release all of your trauma in 12 weeks” because true trauma work is far more delicate than that, takes time to process and is unique to each person.
