THE HEALING COLLECTIVE

Virtual Group Sessions for Somatic Support

Everyone deserves to feel empowered in their health.

Feel supported in your experience.

Having a witness to your story, to know you aren’t alone in your experience is a powerful and necessary component for healing.

The Healing Collective offers an opportunity to come together in a community that is focused on healing while in the comfort of your own space.

Designed to provide care that is both accessible and affordable - eliminating many of the barriers for receiving quality care. 

What is virtual somatic support?

Virtual somatic support uses a trauma-informed modality called Transforming Intentional Touch® - it follows a specific protocol which has been adapted to support the healing and regulation of the nervous system in a virtual setting.

Developed to specifically work with and address developmental trauma, it crosses the barriers of non-verbal and recognizes that through regulation, the client can begin to change their story about their non-verbal, early trauma and gain greater capacity. In this place of safety, the client experiences attachment focused protocols which are consistent and measured for repairing early ruptures and the consequences.

Transforming Intentional Touch® is an effective way of facilitating regulation within the client’s nervous systems. The power of working with intention has been expressed and shared from Healers from around the world. Some actually believe it is much stronger than using physical touch.

    The protocol follows a specific framework that activates the brain’s ability to create and build new neural pathways called neuroplasticity - support is focused on the brainstem, adrenals and limbic system.

    Neuroplasticity is the ability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, functions, or connections after injuries and/or trauma - - thus creating the possibility and opportunity for healing.
