Dear Colleague,
If you’re reading this, chances are you already know how tender, complex, and sacred the work of supporting survivors of sexual trauma can be. You may also know how isolating and overwhelming it feels when you’re sitting with a client’s story— doing your best to hold space, but quietly wondering if you’re doing enough, or doing it right.
I created this course because I’ve been there…
Over the years, I’ve worked with many survivors who didn’t name sexual trauma when they entered therapy. Instead, their stories emerged through symptoms like anxiety, people-pleasing, chronic pain, or a disconnection from the body. I often found myself wishing I’d been given more tools, especially somatic and nervous system-informed ones, to help them heal.
That’s what this course offers. You’ll learn to recognize unspoken trauma, pace the work safely, and offer interventions that empower rather than retraumatize. This work is personal. It touches your nervous systems, your identity, and your history. That’s why my course includes grounding tools and regulation practices for your clients, but also for you. You’ll get access to somatic strategies to help you stay centered in sessions, and to recover afterwards if something activated your own trauma history or left you feeling dysregulated.
You don’t need to be perfect, just human, and willing to keep growing… If you’ve ever felt the weight of this work, or sensed that your training didn’t fully prepare you, I hope you’ll join me.

"37 Years ago I was a traumatized teen who had no idea why she felt the way she did. She felt unloved and unlovable. This week I flew to Colorado to film a course... My younger parts are so proud that I'm now making a difference for others who have had similar experiences!"
