Course Description
Moving From Trauma-Informed to Healing Centered Practices
This course will be available on demand during and after the course has been completed for all attendees via zoom recording for 1 full year after the last session.
When stress becomes prolonged or intense (trauma), the body and brain enter a stress-based state. This can lead to ongoing stress symptoms like trouble sleeping, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, chronic tension, stress-related ailments, or learning challenges. These effects can have a cascading impact across the lifespan.
Healing-centered practices help the body and brain return to a balanced, restorative, or high-performance state. Central to this process is the care of the brain, nervous system, and stress-related patterns held in the muscle memory. Advances in neuroscience and epigenetics inspire powerful habits to relieve stress and improve well-being

The 4-part experiential learning series helps people create efficient self-care practices.
Part 1 sets the foundation for the series: We get our witness in play to reveal our dynamic and
adaptive body. We take care of our spine, brain, and posture to support brain health. We discover
our stress-reflexes, relaxation-reflexes, and comfort signals.
Part 2 cares for the organs including our brain. Our brains love oxygen and nutrients and are just
waiting for us to create the foundations for wellbeing. We explore four key aspects of restorative
breath. We learn about the triune nervous system and what helps us restore balance and ease.
Part 3 activates our Social Engagement System: We discover the superpower of Co-Regulation
and the importance of mirror neurons. We learn how to claim and share our calm with others as
we reconnect with the world around us.
Part 4 inspires action and application: We see beautiful anatomy details to help us understand how to work with our smart bodies. We plan for our next steps for ourselves and our community.
