A 9-month training for women who want to work with women in a holistic, trauma-informed and embodied way and take care of themselves in the process
This training will take you on a journey of Returning to Embodied Feminine Wholeness – and will deeply impact all women you work with and support, and will profoundly change you as a woman and a female practitioner.
Trauma is very ‘trendy’ right now. Everybody is talking about it. And you might have read some books or even attended some smaller training.
But the reality is that reading some books or doing a little training is not going to give you the kind of understanding and skills that are needed for effective transformational and healing work.
The reality is that trauma and somatic education and skills are necessary for any practitioner working with clients – in 1-2-1 and group settings – and wanting to offer a safe and inclusive container. This is not a ‘nice-to-have’ optional approach but a complete necessity for our work.
In addition, working in an integrated way and learning somatic practices for nervous system regulation and body-focused coaching approach allows us to support our clients on a much deeper level. The kind of level that is wholly transformational and changes the way you work with and support your clients and changes your life and business forever.
“As a matter of fact, I see the repression of the feminine principle as the biggest problem on the planet, and since the planet has become a global village, power alone is just not going to work any more.”
-Marion Woodman

Who am I to teach you about Trauma-informed somatic work?
I feel very passionate about sharing this knowledge and wisdom because I know how much of a difference it can make to our life, confidence and the quality of our teaching. I’ve been working with trauma and its impact on individuals, families and communities for 25 years in various settings, including 16 years front-line in Social Care where I worked with trauma, crisis intervention, mental health, addiction, DV, and child protection issues in various settings in London and Kent, and where I later trained and supervised front-line workers to engage and support vulnerable individuals and families.
I’ve been on my own journey of healing for the past 30 years, practicing yoga, mindfulness and somatics, and running my own business with coaching and mentoring private clients and other practitioners, teaching mindful and embodied yoga, meditation and mindfulness, embodiment and somatics for over 14 years.
Over last three decades I trained in various modalities including Mindfulness yoga and meditation, Mindfulness and Yoga for Pain, Slow Embodied Yoga, Yin/Insight Yoga, Psychology and Person-Centred Counselling, Master NLP and NLP for Health and Wellbeing, Life and Wellness Coaching, Breathwork, Energy Healing and Reiki Master, Somatics and Embodiment Coaching, Bodywork and Thai Yoga Massage therapy.
I also trained as Embodiment/Somatic Coach, BSE – Become Safely Embodied Practitioner, and Focusing (Embodied Listening) Practitioner, and Somatic Movement teacher. I also completed many Mental Health and trauma-informed trainings including Transcending Sexual Trauma through Yoga.
I’m currently training to become a certified and ICF and CPD accredited Somatic and Narcissistic Abuse Trauma-informed Coach, and certified in Trauma-informed Positive Psychology Coaching Method.
I bring all of that experience into my work with all my students and clients (mostly women), creating an integrative approach – a unique mix of bio-psycho-social & spiritual approach that is client-led, compassionate and trauma-informed. You can read more about my personal journey, trainings and qualifications HERE
I am registered as Fellow Member with ACCPH (Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists), and registered as Senior Yoga Teacher, Trainer and Mentor with Yoga Alliance Professionals UK, with 15 years of teaching experience, and a Founder of Golden Mandala Somatic Coach Academy©.
