Are you frustrated by a lack of relief after years of talk therapy?

​

Do you want to understand the connection between your body and emotions?

 

Do you long to cultivate a deeper, more compassionate relationship with yourself? 

​

​

In this women’s-only workshop, you will learn to literally heal trauma from the inside out, through sophisticated yet practical techniques designed to regulate and restore your nervous system to a balanced state.

The word “trauma” is getting a lot of traction lately. But what does it mean?

Largely, trauma is misunderstood as an event: a horrific car-accident, violent abuse, or devastating natural disaster. But many people who’ve never experienced such drastic events show trauma symptoms such as insomnia, IBS, migraine-headaches, anxiety disorders, and the list goes on.

So – what’s the deal with trauma?

The truth is, trauma is not in an event. It’s deep within the body - in the nervous system. And experiences as "trivial" as a routine root canal can trigger traumatic sensations, often to the bewilderment of the people experiencing them! 

In Body Wisdom, gain a more holistic understanding of what trauma is and how to recognize its symptoms in yourself and others. Learn how specific patterns of muscular tension engage in moments of emotional stress or trauma – and how to release that tension in real-time. 

 

Discover what your posture says about your personality, and how your language and gestures demonstrate deeply embedded attitudes and beliefs.  As you cultivate this awareness, you observe how the sum total of your unique life experience – every thought, memory, and feeling – literally manifests in your physical form.

 

Simply put, your issues are in your tissues!

​

• EFT – The Emotional Freedom Technique ®

Weekly class breakdown:  

​

WEEK 1 – RECLAIM SAFETY

• 4 trauma types

• Nervous system regulation techniques to cultivate presence  

 

​

WEEK 2 – WIRED FOR PLEASURE

​

Often, in trauma therapy, people become singularly fixated on ‘the problem,’ or ‘the pain.’ Ironically, this focused attention towards “what’s wrong” can actually exacerbate a person’s traumatic symptoms!

​

• The effect of pleasure, play, and gratitude on your nervous system

Week Three is all about rage – an emotion forbidden to women throughout world cultures and time. Within the safe container of this class, experience the righteousness of your rage. As you explore your own ferocious expression, learn to re-negotiate boundaries with clarity and confidence. Week Three gives you a taste of your primitive, predatorial, and fiercely feminine power. In this class, you learn:

​

WEEK 4 – THE ANATOMY OF EMOTION  

​

In Week Four, discover the underlying emotional anatomy of your physical body. Through this profound body-mind integration process, learn to systematically translate the subtle energetics of posture, gestures, and stored tension. As you listen to, interpret, and honor the messages of the body, become more aligned with your true nature, which is joy. In this class, you learn:

​

• Psychosomatics of standing, walking, and movement

• Psychosomatics of front and back body

• How and why the trauma-'freeze' response engages

• How to unlock stuck ‘freeze’ energy

• How to use the plumb-line as a psychosomatic assessment tool

 

 

WEEK 5 – THE BIOLOGY OF BELIEF

​

In Week Five, discover the somatic impact of your thoughts and deeply embedded beliefs on your health and relationships. The goal of this class is to develop a felt sense of alignment with your highest vision for yourself and your life.  As you become more unified in Body and Mind, your actions reflect your desires, your words reflect your truth, and your life reflects your purpose. In this class, you learn:

​

• The history, science, and application of the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)  

• The physiological impacts of stress on your system
