ABOUT THE SUMMIT
Gather with us live & online July 20th, 2025 for our FREE One-Day Summit to explore the power of somatics to heal developmental trauma and restore wholeness with internationally recognized leaders in somatic-based approaches to trauma healing and recovery.
In this FREE One-Day online event you’ll gain practical tools and insights into healing trauma, fostering secure relationships, enhancing regulation skills, and expanding resilience for yourself and others. We’ll explore how not just trauma is transmitted but also how to fully heal using the tools of somatic, body-centred therapies.
You will learn how trauma influences physical, emotional, and relational health across generations and discover somatic techniques to break these patterns. Plus discover embodiment practices that support self-regulation and co-regulation, and the power of somatic movement to address attachment defence processes’ relationship to trauma. We’ll also examine what resistance might be telling us about what is happening in the relational dynamic, and how to honor and work with what is revealed.
Ideal for therapists, coaches, and individuals on a healing journey, this summit provides a comprehensive understanding of how to compassionately work with the complex emotions, sensations and psychological states associated with developmental trauma.
Register now and discover the power of somatics to heal developmental trauma and support the return to wholeness for yourself and others.

Transforming Traumatic Experience in Developmental Trauma: Powerful Practices for Everyone
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
This webinar explores interoceptive and mindfulness-based tools and techniques inspired by and adapted from today’s leading trauma modalities, such as Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems Therapy, to address the lasting and shocking effects of developmental trauma, focusing on healing rather than recounting events.
By presenting the first steps to shifting participants’ relationship to traumatic memory, this webinar emphasizes down-regulation and processing of traumatic shock and activation through mindfulness, embodied, and interoceptive-based techniques. These practices open the door to core belief and identity change.
Join me for an engaging and experiential learning opportunity that blends neuroscience, mindfulness, and interoceptive wisdom. Whether you're interested in your own healing, a seasoned coach or clinician, or new to trauma work, you’ll leave this webinar with practical tools to help yourself or your clients feel safer in their bodies and reclaim a sense of wholeness.
