Interventions & Somatic Skills for Trauma Healing and Wellness

This foundational workshop introduces practitioners to the core somatic and body-based interventions of the Embodied Care framework. Participants will learn how to integrate gentle, accessible, and culturally-responsive somatic skills into trauma healing work with Black women and marginalized communities.

This training offers a deeper dive into Embodied Care practice interventions and strategies including depth in understanding how trauma lives in the body, how survival patterns shape wellness behaviors, and how practitioners can facilitate awareness, attunement, and alignment using grounding, movement invitations, sensory awareness, and body-trust practices.

Through experiential exercises, demonstrations, and guided practice, clinicians will learn not just what to do, but how to do it with presence, pacing, and nervous system attunement.

Participants will learn to:

• Assess somatic cues and survival patterns during sessions

• Use grounding, breathwork, movement, and body awareness with cultural sensitivity

• Facilitate embodied safety without re-traumatization

• Introduce nourishing, rest-based, and capacity-centered interventions

• Support clients in re-establishing body trust and sustainable wellness rhythms

Ideal for: Therapists, healers, wellness providers, yoga teachers, coaches, and anyone supporting trauma recovery through body-centered practices.
