A gentle, evidence-based 6-week guided journey to support you in better understanding trauma, reconnecting with your body, regulating your nervous system and moving towards healing – one gentle step at a time. 

Healing does not begin with becoming someone new. 

It begins with understanding yourself in a new way. Perhaps you’ve spent a while wondering why you feel anxious, exhausted, disconnected, overwhelmed or constantly on edge. Maybe you’ve become the person who holds everyone else together. Perhaps you find yourself avoiding conflict, trying to keep the peace, shutting-down, overthinking interpersonal interactions, or reacting more strongly in certain situations than you would have liked. Perhaps you’ve even tried therapy before and have some understanding of why you feel the way you do, but you’re still really longing to actually feel different. If any of this feels familiar, you are not alone. These experiences are not signs that something is wrong with you – far from it. They are often adaptations of a nervous system that has had to work really hard to keep you safe. And while these adaptations were of course necessary once, they don’t have to define the rest of your life.

Alongside my private practice, I’ve trained mental health professionals internationally in trauma-sensitive approaches and developed highly-acclaimed educational programmes that integrate counseling, neuroscience and yoga therapy.

Throughout my work, I’ve noticed something important.

Many people understand their trauma cognitively, but still feel trapped in survival mode. And that’s because trauma does not only affect our thoughts. It affects our bodies, our nervous systems, our relationships and our overall sense of safety.

This course is a culmination of my most important work. It brings together the approaches I’ve found to be most transformative in practice – combining psychoeducation, somatic awareness, trauma-sensitive yoga, reflective, mindful activities and practical, nervous sysyem regulation skills within a compassionate, patient and supportive learning environment.

My hope is that this course helps you understand yourself with greater kindness, and leaves you feeling more equipped, more connected and more hopeful about your healing journey.
