Trauma-Informed Breathwork & Somatic Regulation Program
Support for nervous systems stuck in survival mode
A space for people living with PTSD, trauma, and long term stress to gently come back into a relationship with their bodies. Through trauma informed, body based practices, we focus on nervous system regulation and the slow release of what has been held for too long, so you can feel calmer, more present, and more in control of your everyday life.
When living in your body feels hard
Many of the people who find their way to this work have spent years in survival mode. Always on alert, or completely shut down. They often feel unsafe in their own body, exhausted by symptoms that never seem to ease, and unsure how to change what is happening in their nervous system. If you recognise yourself in any of these, you are not alone:
Feeling trapped in survival mode, always on edge, scanning, or shutting down and going numb
Feeling unsafe or unsettled in your own body
Struggling to feel present, embodied or connected
Exhausted by poor sleep, night waking or difficulty settling
Finding everyday tasks overwhelming, including leaving the house or completing simple jobs
Managing symptoms quietly while trying to appear “fine” to others
Feeling the strain in relationships, finding it hard to communicate needs or stay emotionally present
Why you might be here
By the time you find your way to this workshop, you’ve often already done a lot of emotional work. Talk therapy may have helped you understand your story, but your body can still feel stuck in survival mode.
You start looking for something different when:
You know your nervous system needs more than talking
You feel overwhelmed by all the techniques and are unsure what actually works
You’re craving practical tools you can use yourself, not long term dependence on a practitioner
You’re ready for a body based approach that doesn’t require you to relive traumatic experiences
You want to feel empowered, capable and more in control of your own healing
Trauma Informed
Breathwork Program
A guided, body based healing program that helps people safely release trauma stored in their body regulate their nervous system, and regain a sense of calm, control, and connection. It involves trauma informed breathwork, somatic tools, and gentle movement to support emotional, physical and relational wellbeing.
Structured for your body
This program is structured week by week, yet no two participants will experience it in the same way. Each program is fully tailored to where an individual is at, meeting them safely in their current experience. It combines education, practical tools, and guided experiential practices to support participants in achieving their personal healing goals, empowering them to regulate their nervous system, release trauma, and reconnect with their body.
Designed to help you calm your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and gently reduce hypervigilance, emotional disconnection, and sleep difficulties. You’ll be given practical, trauma-informed tools you can use in everyday life to manage stress, feel more grounded, and function more steadily at home, at work, and in your relationships.
