Transcending Trauma: 9-Weeks to Safely Move Through Trapped Survival Stress

and Reveal Your Own Medicine

​

Unstable Nervous System?

 

Gradually move through anxiety, displaced fear, and chronic symptoms in this proven-effective transformational program designed to rewire your autonomic nervous system and reveal your body’s spontaneous intelligence so you can finally heal at the root level.

 

Combining neurosensory practices with self-examination, journaling, and group witnessing, this program offers support to:

 

• Regulate your nervous system, even if right now it feels fried and like you’re constantly on edge

• Feel comfortable in your skin, present, and engaged instead of shut-down or hyper-aware

• Express healthy emotions instead of exaggerating or suppressing them all-together

• Honor your needs and establish clear boundaries in toxic relationships instead of losing yourself in others

• Find the self worth and inspiration to move forward in life, even if right now you feel insignificant and powerless

• Wake up and get on with your life without relying on outside interventions that offer only temporary relief for stress-induced symptoms

 

These groups are based on a research-backed modality that's been around for more than 30 years. Recent research highlights some of the benefits:

 

"Each participant noted greater insight into mind-body connection. They noticed the effect of cognition and emotion on the body, observed how the body can be used to improve coping through movement and breathing, and experienced different thoughts and emotions associated with different areas of their bodies.” ~Sneed, J., & Hammer, T., (2018). Phenomenological Inquiry into Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy. International Journal of Yoga Therapy. 

 

The program follows a progressive, thematic approach aligned with nine themes. These themes support deepening your inner exploration in order to regulate your autonomic nervous system so you can connect and flow forward in life from a renewed and embodied sense of clarity and purpose.

Meets in-person for 2-hours weekly, and for a full-day silent retreat halfway through.
