🌱 Imagine this...

~ Workplaces where difficult conversations happen with compassion.
~ Communities where people don’t just survive trauma—but thrive beyond it.
~ Organisations that become sanctuaries of healing rather than sources of re-traumatisation.


We make this vision reality through evidence-based, body-based education—led by Amanda Hanna’s decade of specialised experience, making SomaPsych leaders in everyday somatics for community care across Aotearoa New Zealand.


👉 Is your body telling you it’s time to move beyond mind-based approaches—into something more rooted & relational?


👉 Do you hold space for people impacted by trauma, marginalisation, or systemic harm—and want to do so with more integrity, care, and skill?


This is an educational and experiential weekend that gently explores the nervous system’s role in trauma and resilience—without diving into personal trauma stories. You’ll walk away grounded, clear, and resourced.


✨ Many participants say they leave feeling energised, inspired, and more connected—not only to themselves, but to their work and communities.


🌿 What You’ll Learn:
~ How trauma lives in the body
~ Polyvagal theory + nervous system regulation
~ Somatic tools for stress & overwhelm
~ Trauma as both individual and systemic
~ Language, presence, and practices that honour autonomy
~ Why body-based care is essential for collective wellbeing

💡 This Training is For:
Support workers • Educators • Counsellors
Healthcare providers • Yoga & mindfulness facilitators
Community organisers • Anyone holding space for others
