Trauma-informed Practitioner Training


An inclusive training program for complementary and alternative medicine practitioners - designed to resource you with trauma-aware knowledge and skills to inform safer therapeutic relationships and embody a person-centred framework.

This training is particularly for the folks that feel as though their training gave them the skills to offer a service or product, but did not necessarily explore the diverse ways in which trauma can uniquely effect individuals and in turn, impact our approach as practitioners.

Your facilitator, Jacqui, is passionate about our shared responsibility in creating well-considered, conscious therapeutic spaces led by compassionate facilitators and therapists.

What exactly will we cover?

- A contemporary understanding of the types of trauma
- Trauma, the body and the subconscious
- Trauma, core beliefs and identity

- Transparency and moving toward trust
- Embodied person-centred care
- Restoring self-determination and agency
- Trauma and the use of language in a therapeutic setting
- Understanding the window of tolerance - by Dr. Daniel Siegal
- Responding to triggers
