Continuing Professional Development

Culture of Care is a 6-month training for facilitators, coaches, practitioners, and leaders who want to work with trauma and nervous systems with care, clarity, and responsibility.

This work is grounded in nervous system science, somatic awareness, and ethical responsibility. The focus is on how you arrive — in your body, in your capacity, and in the way you relate to others over time. From this foundation, you learn how to respond to what’s happening in the room with discernment, rather than habit or urgency.

Originally developed for touch practitioners, the course has, by popular demand, expanded to include non-touch professionals like therapists, coaches, teachers, and workshop leaders.
