SIGN UP NOWWhat is this for?
A six-week course that will teach therapists and coaches to effectively care for and use your body in a field that is physically and emotionally demanding - the helping profession. Participants will walk away better understanding how to heal from burnout, vicarious trauma, and compassion fatigue. Participants will learn and practice basic somatic techniques to counteract the impact of holding space for clients for many hours of the week. Participants will learn how to effectively utilize their natural empathy skills with healthy boundaries so they don't burn out and can keep working sustainably in the helping profession.
Why do we need this?
The world needs thriving helpers and healers now more than ever. We are still coping with the effects of a global pandemic and massive world shifts that impact the provider as much as they impact the client. As a board certified dance/movement therapist, Lauren's clinical training is heavily based in somatics. Other counselors and therapists will benefit from a somatic approach to burnout and vicarious trauma. Meanwhile, coaches will benefit from the clinical education and structure that may not have been included in certifications and trainings.
How much this course cost?
$1,000

Oriana
"I cannot recommend working with Lauren enough! I came to her not even realizing how internalized my trauma around weight and eating was and she got me to a place where I feel confident enough to take on challenges and be aware of how I'm feeling at any moment. She has a very holistic approach and meets you where you are, looking at how your unique experiences affect your life, relationships, and your goals. Meetings with her feel like calling a best friend. I looked forward to them every time! invest in yourself, you will not regret it."
Abigail Keyes
"I met with Lauren as a dance instructor seeking to improve my understanding of working with dance students who have histories of sexual and other kinds of physical trauma. Moving the body can be a powerful way to heal, but it can be potentially triggering. Lauren generously shared her wealth of knowledge as well as simple and effective techniques that I can even integrate into my weekly dance classes. She also suggested ideas and theories for me to investigate on my own. She comes from a place of care and compassion that is evident right away. I feel so much more empowered not only to help my students, but help myself as an educator."
