Applied Somatics Series
Designed for therapists & allied health professionals
The Applied Somatics Series attends to the process of personal work; the way we can metabolise current overwhelm & past wounding in the body and develop the ability to be more present in our lives day to day.
This Series includes:
-
A monthly Care Class on the first Friday evening of each month.
-
1 Applied Somatics workshop each term.
Who can benefit:
Practitioners who would like to deepen their own personal journey.
Practitioners who want to develop skills in their own work with clients.
FACILITATOR: Jacinda Gilligan
I have trained extensively in somatics over the past 8 years here and in the USA, specialising in metabolising trauma in the body, applied polyvagal theory and embodied leadership .
A trained & experienced trauma educator and embodiment practitioner as well as 30 years experience facilitating in a range of settings, I have developed the fine art of creating safe spaces : inclusive, non-coercive and held within an ecology of care. I have taught trauma-informed yoga for 13 years and have been facilitating under the ISSC ACC contract since it was approved.
