The Centre for Somatic Resilience

The Centre for Somatic Resilience offers specialised training designed to integrate somatic therapy with traditional therapeutic approaches. Our programs are tailored for mental health professionals, social workers, and frontline staff who want to enhance their trauma-informed practice by incorporating body-based techniques for the effective healing of trauma. We also provide practical workshops to the helping professions on how to work with the body’s physiological responses to trauma, going beyond cognitive approaches to unlock deeper healing and mitigate the impact of secondary trauma when working with traumatised populations. Through our training, participants learn how to guide clients in resetting their nervous systems, shifting from states of survival to safety and resilience. Our focus is on bridging the gap between mind and body, teaching how to track the nervous system and recognize signals the body sends during trauma recovery. This integration of somatic therapy into therapeutic work allows professionals to offer a more holistic approach, helping clients not only process their trauma through talk therapy but also feel a sense of release and healing within their bodies. Our workshops cover key concepts like the Polyvagal Theory, neuroception, and interoception, showing how these ideas can be applied in practical ways during therapy sessions. Whether you're a therapist, counselor, social worker, or frontline staff member, our training equips you with the tools to make lasting, transformative changes in the lives of your clients. By joining our programs, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of trauma’s impact on the body and how somatic practices can support healing. We’re committed to helping professionals expand their skillset, offering new approaches that complement the powerful work they’re already doing.
