Releasing Stress & trauma by Listening To Your Body
a 6-week course
There are no more courses for 2021. In January 2022 we will announce dates for next year. Join the waitlist to hear them first.
course description
🌿
This course is an immersive, 6 week experience into your body & mind. It is designed to deliver all of the necessary tools, techniques, and philosophies to begin healing trauma holistically and naturally just through listening to your body. The language of the body is sensation. When we learn to feel these sensations & communicate with them we begin a lifelong dialogue of listening to ourselves and releasing trauma/stress as they occur - so we don't live a life resulting from a build-up of stress/trauma in the body. Better health, better mindset, and a better life are the usual results of this work.

The course is 6 weeks long, with 12 meetings total.

Week 1
What Is Trauma & What Is Safety (regulation)? You will learn what happens in the body during trauma & why we behave and feel the way we do. We will also explore the beginnings of understanding how the body regulates and what that feels like. Week 2
The Quiet Diet We will dive into whole food nutritional philosophies, including herbal medicine, to balance your mind & body on a physical level before diving into the deeper work of learning self-regulation and trauma release. Week 3
How We Regulate We will explore all the ways we regulate: with people, with plants, with spaces, and through behaviors. We spend time learning how to notice when we're co-regulating with the world around us, or co-dysregulating with it. Do we attune to peace or stress? |
Week 4
Belief Becomes Biology We explore how our thinking becomes physical states of being and how the subconscious may just be the body. Self-inquiry, embodying thoughts, and learning how to feel into the present are vital tools for finding peace in our minds. Week 5
The Physiology Of Meaning We learn how meaning becomes, both, an identity and a way of being. We learn how to use triggers to our benefit, uncouple stressful meanings from daily events, and build our capacity for joy and pleasure. Week 6
Self-Regulation After exploring the body and the mind, we will deepen our understanding of releasing trauma & stress from our bodies through specific exercises that prompt self-regulation: the experience of finding balance and safety within and from your own body. |

ongoing circle
An ongoing circle is offered for those who wish to continue having support integrating what is learned in the 6 weeks. This is offered at $180 for the 6 weeks, or you can pay $30/week for 6 weeks.

Meet Your teacher
I am a Somatic Therapist & Educator, a musician, a father, & a husband. My body began healing itself of chronic illness when I was 16 years old through whole foods alone. I went onto study & apprentice in whole food & herbal healing and began helping people manage their PTSD, anxiety, and chronic health issues with diet alone through my private nutrition practice.
Then, in 2015, I discovered somatic therapy & went to the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute for a 3 year immersive training to practice Somatic Experiencing. This lineage of holistic trauma healing gave me words and practices for what was always something I understood intuitively but didn't know how to speak or teach. It has since become the foundation of my work & my life.
To meet the growing need for my work, I started his course so that people could begin working with their own trauma by learning how to listen to their bodies themselves. It's an incredible and affordable way to begin the journey now.
For more information on me and my work, listen to the first episode on my podcast: how I transformed my trauma into a gift and then into this work that I do. This course is just one of the many gifts I have the pleasure of sharing with you.
