Trauma-Informed Breathwork & Somatic Nervous System Regulation
A consent-based, 10-week small-group program built on polyvagal theory, titrated somatic practice, and trauma-aware breathwork — for people seeking a gentle, body-centered path to nervous system healing. Online, with optional 1:1 sessions in Bloomington, Indiana.
If you feel disconnected from your body. If your nervous system reacts to ordinary moments as if they were emergencies. If you carry the sense that something happened — recently, long ago, or across years you never had the language for — your body has been working hard to keep you safe, sometimes at a cost you weren't aware of paying. This program is designed for that layer of the work. Not catharsis. Not trauma excavation. Structured, paced, consent-based practice that rebuilds your nervous system's capacity to feel safe in your own body again. Built on Polyvagal Theory, somatic experiencing principles, and trauma-aware breathwork that never asks more from your system than it can integrate.
Who This Program Serves
This program serves adults across a spectrum of nervous system experiences — from chronic anxiety with no clear cause, to those navigating complex post-traumatic stress, to people who simply know that something in their body has been guarded for too long. The 10-week format is small (maximum 10 participants), structured, and paced for nervous systems that have learned to brace.
🌿 For People Who Feel "Disconnected From Their Body"
You may not call what you're carrying "trauma." You may not have a diagnosis. You just know that something is held — that you've adapted to survive, and that survival mode has become your baseline. This program meets you exactly where you are, without requiring you to name what brought you here.
💠 For Adults Navigating PTSD, Complex PTSD, or Developmental Trauma
If you've done therapy, read the books, understand your patterns intellectually, but still feel your body responding to ordinary moments as if they were emergencies — body-based work is often the missing piece. This program offers exactly that: titrated, consent-based, trauma-aware breathwork that respects what your nervous system has been through.
🌱 For People with Chronic Anxiety or Stress That Has No Clear Cause
Sometimes anxiety doesn't have a story behind it — it just is. A nervous system stuck in low-grade alarm. Wired but exhausted. Tense without knowing why. The framework of this program treats that pattern as a nervous system that needs gentle retraining, not a personality flaw to manage.

A Note on Scope
This program is educational and supportive in nature. It is not psychotherapy and does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Breathwork is used here as a regulatory tool — not as a trauma-release mechanism.
If you are in active crisis, experiencing suicidal ideation, or carrying significant unprocessed trauma, please work alongside a licensed mental health professional. This work is most effective as a complement to therapy, not a replacement for it. We are happy to coordinate with your existing therapist if it would support your process.
