Stress, Trauma & Nervous System Regulation is a professional, body-oriented hands-on workshop designed for therapists and health practitioners seeking practical, trauma-informed skills for nervous system regulation. Grounded in stress physiology, neuroscience, and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, this hands-on workshop focuses on working directly with the body’s nervous system through precise, attuned therapeutic touch. Participants learn how to support regulation, restore safety, and work effectively with stress and trauma at a physiological level.
Why Work with the Body?
Trauma isn't held in memory or narrative alone. It expresses itself through the body — in physiology, survival reflexes, the nervous system, fascia, cells, and deep brainstem patterns.
Working directly with the body can help to:
- Regulate and settle the nervous system
- Support completion of biological stress responses
- Release stuck survival patterns
- Restore connection, presence, and safety
What You Will Learn
✔ Stress physiology & hands-on regulation techniques
✔ Understand biological stress pathways and learn how to support regulation through skilled touch.
✔ Biodynamic Craniosacral touch techniques for the central, peripheral, somatic & autonomic nervous systems
Including gentle contact with cranial bones, brain structures, spinal cord, meninges, and fluid systems.
✔ Practitioner skills to engage with the body’s intelligence: Presence, attunement, neutrality, resonance, and non-invasive touch.
✔ Vagus nerve in practice - Anatomy, palpation, tone assessment, and techniques to support regulation.
✔ Polyvagal-informed touch work - Recognising autonomic states, supporting settling, and safely discharging activation.
✔ The language of the body - Fascia communicates through subtle movement, The nervous system through neural firing, Bones through rhythmic motion, Fluids through flow, Organs through motility and tone.
✔ Supporting completion of unfinished survival responses
✔ Returning home to self - Reconnection with the deeper qualities of safety, wholeness, presence, and calm that exist beneath dysregulation.
This workshop is body-based and hands-on, blending theory with embodied, experiential learning. It integrates anatomy, stress physiology, neuroscience, therapeutic touch, and the innate intelligence of the body.
Scope of the workshop: This workshop does not explore trauma in depth. It is designed to support practitioners in safely incorporating trauma-informed touch principles into their existing modalities.
Workshop Pre-Requisites
This workshop is open to practitioners and facilitators who wish to integrate body-based understanding of the nervous system and trauma into their existing work through Craniosacral techniques.
It is also open to individuals with a genuine interest in this field. Current and former clients are welcome to attend. Applications are also welcomed from people who are not currently working in a therapeutic profession, provided they some experience with embodied practices or have engaged in therapeutic support.
Suitable for:
(Massage)Therapists • Coaches • Kinesiologists • Psychotherapists • Psychologists • Health Professionals • Counsellors-• Breathworkers • Acupuncturists, Nurses, Yoga teachers, Sound Healers, Somatic practitioners. Meditation Teachers & Energy Practitioners • and others with an interest in trauma, stress, nervous system regulation and embodied approaches.
. If you are unsure whether the workshop is the right fit for you, please feel free to get in touch to discuss your background.
Participants will gain practical Craniosacral techniques and treatment protocols to support stress, trauma, and nervous system regulation within their existing professional scope of practice or personal learning journey. This workshop is not intended for personal therapy.

Upon registerion a deposit of $350 is due for the Sydney Workshop and the balance before 21 October 2026. This is a small-group training, and spaces are limited.
Turn cutting-edge trauma theory into practical healing.
Learn to listen to the body, regulate the nervous system, and transform trauma at its roots.
______________________________
All workshops are presented with a student booklet, integrating theoretical and practical learnings, somatic exercises and a blend of mind-body techniques. Learning takes place in a didactic and experiential format with slides, practical somatic, embodiment exercises and table work - giving and receiving treatments once or twice a day.
