# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Attachment & Your Nervous System Workshop - Whangaparaoa
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Understand how your earliest relationships shaped your nervous system - and learn practical tools to create healthier connection patterns today.

In this 3-hour workshop, you will explore the neuroscience of attachment through a polyvagal lens. You'll discover why you respond the way you do in relationships, identify your attachment style (secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganised), and learn somatic practices to regulate your nervous system when old patterns get triggered.

This workshop blends education with embodied practice. You will leave with a clear understanding of your attachment patterns, awareness of how they show up in your body, and practical nervous system tools you can use immediately.

What you will learn:

 * The 3 nervous system states and how they relate to attachment

 * The 4 attachment styles and their origins

 * How to identify your attachment pattern and recognise it in real time

 * Why anxious and avoidant people are drawn to each other (and how to break the cycle)

 * Somatic regulation practices for when your attachment system activates

 * How to respond from your values rather than your survival patterns

What's included:

 * Comprehensive workshop handout

 * Attachment style self-assessment

 * Body mapping exercise

 * Guided somatic practices

 * Integration time for reflection

This workshop is educational, not therapeutic. It is suitable for anyone wanting to understand their relationship patterns and build nervous system capacity for healthier connection.

No previous experience with somatics or polyvagal theory required - just curiosity and a willingness to explore.


? About Your Facilitatior

Anna is a trauma-informed nervous system coach specialising in polyvagal theory and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), with a particular focus on how coercive control rewires the nervous system, shapes attachment patterns, and leaves its own architecture behind. She helps people map what happened to them, understand why it worked, and rebuild trust in their own instincts – reclaiming their voice, their boundaries, and their sense of self.

This work is deeply lived for Anna. For years, she suppressed her own voice, doubted her own perception, and made herself smaller to keep the peace – long before she had the language for what was happening or why. Finding her way back to herself is what shapes the way she holds this space now: with patience, without judgement, and with a clear understanding of how hard it is to trust yourself again after you've been taught not to.

Anna guides others through nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, and values-based action, integrating evidence-based practice with deep respect for each person's autonomy and inner knowing.

Anna holds certifications in Polyvagal Therapy, ACT, Trauma-Informed Coaching, Breathwork (NZAB 80-Hour + currently completing 400-Hour Sacred Breath Academy training), NLP, Hypnotherapy, and a Diploma in Psychology & Counselling.

Her work is grounded, compassionate, and boundaried – honouring both nervous system science and the spiritual dimensions of healing. This is a space where you're seen, believed, and supported to trust yourself again.
