Bonus:
Tending to the Nervous System Webinar
When you donate and sign up, you also get my signature "Tending to the nervous system" webinar.
A 2-hour exploration into the science and energetics of Somatics through a trauma-sensitive movement lens. This webinar is informed by the works of Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory, Peter A. Levine, PhD and Gabor Mate, MD. This webinar aims to simplify pain and trauma-informed education and is a deep dive into understanding the role of our nervous system in cultivating safety and self-regulation through the lens of movement and Somatics.
Feature:
Self-Care Sundays
Every Sunday, you have the opportunity to move with one of our trauma-informed movement professionals. These are teachers and knowledge workers who are doing great work in our community.
All videos are pre-recorded and on-demand so that you can move when it's convenient for you. A new video is uploaded every Sunday.
