Course content

1 section • 24 lectures • 4h 10m total length

Introduction2:40
Trauma-informed energy healing teaches signaling safety and reducing activation rather than forcing calm, so the vagal brake can engage, breath slows, muscles soften, and regulation emerges.
Module 1: The Missing Link in Energy Healing8:09
This trauma-informed energy healing course teaches the three-layer healing interface: body, psyche, and field, integrating subtle anatomy with nervous system science to create safe, lasting change.
Module 2: The Subtle Body Map Beyond the Chakra Poster9:57
Explore how chakras function as interfaces between physiology, emotion, and the nervous system, reframing energy healing as trauma-informed subtle anatomy.
Module 3: Energy Flow Structures — Ida, Pingala, Sushumna, and the Three Dantian13:57
Explore energy flow beyond chakras with Ida, Pagala, and Shoshuna, guiding polarity toward coherence. Use the three dantians as safety reservoirs to stabilize the nervous system in trauma-informed energy work.
Module 4: Energetic Boundaries, Cords, and Field Integrity — Trauma and the Edge10:43
Explore neuroception, the nervous system’s unconscious safety-detection, and how the energy field reflects its state through co-regulation, presence, and trauma-informed healing.
Module 5 Neuroception Beneath the Aura — The Nervous System a9:21
Explore neuroception, the nervous system's unconscious safety detection, and how the energy field or aura reflects autonomic states, enabling trauma-informed healing through co-regulation and presence.
Module 6 The Limbic Brain, the Amydgala, the Vagal Brake12:07
Explore the limbic brain, amygdala, and vagal brake to understand how trauma activates survival chemistry and how grounding, presence, and slow pacing restore safety and nervous system regulation.
Module 7 Protectors, Blocks, and the Inner System11:28
Discover how the parts model (ifs) reframes blocks as protectors within the inner system, and learn to heal through safety, respect, and gradual containment rather than forceful energy clearing.
module 8 Shame, Fear, Anger and Grief = The Core Trauma Emotions9:55
Examine the four core trauma emotions—shame, fear, anger, and grief—and how they move through the nervous system. Learn emotional alchemy that completes these emotions for integration.
Module 9 Trauma-informed Energy Session Structure10:44
Structure a seven-phase trauma-informed energy session—arrival, consent, grounding, gentle assessment, minimal intervention, integration and landing, closure and boundary sealing—emphasizing safety, containment, and the relational safety field.
Module 10 Discernment — Intuition vs Emotion, Projection vs Perception9:57
Develop discernment in trauma-informed energy work by distinguishing intuition from emotion, perception from projection, and resonance from absorption. Maintain boundaries, regulate the nervous system, and practice humility for client-centered healing.
Module 11 Energetic Hygiene & Long-Term Maintenance — Practitioner Sustainabilit10:20
Explore how trauma-informed energy healing maintains practitioner sustainability through energetic hygiene, grounding, boundary sealing, and coherent presence. Learn daily practices to prevent residue, sustain ethics, and support lasting client safety.
Module 12 Ethics, Consent, and Scope — Trauma-Informed Responsibility in Energy9:18
Explore trauma-informed energy healing ethics, consent, boundaries, and pacing to ensure safety. Respect scope, avoid re-traumatization, empower client agency, and know when to refer out.
Module 13 Integration Practices9:18
Learn daily integration practices to help the nervous system learn a new baseline, including orienting, long exhale breathing, lower belly grounding, and emotional landing rituals that keep healing between sessions.
Module 14 Case Examples and Pattern Recognition9:42
explore case patterns of anxiety, depression, dissociation, grief, and relational trauma through nervous system patterns in the body and field, and learn downshifting, grounding, and regulation for ethical energy healing.
The Three Piko Breath Practice for Anxiety Relief12:58
Explore the three PICO breath practice for anxiety relief, grounding energy from the earth to the crown, heart pico, and navel pico for safety and calm.
Guided Meditation Depression: Withdrawal and Collapse19:14
Practice a guided meditation for depression withdrawal and collapse that gently activates the nervous system through breath, grounding in the lower dantian, warmth, and micro-awareness to restore safety and reconnection.
Dissociation: Protective Leaving (Trauma-Informed Energy Healing Practice)11:49
Explore trauma-informed energy healing to safely reorient from dissociation through grounding, boundary cultivation, and gentle embodiment, using breath, the dantian, and a calming field of light.
Grief: Wave Release and Heart Softening Guided Meditation11:31
Engage in a guided meditation for grief release through wave-like emotional movement, heart softening, and nervous system grounding, guiding breath, lower belly glow, and compassionate awareness toward completion.
Guided Meditation - Relational Trauma, Boundary Disruption & Attachment Defense11:43
Guide a meditation that addresses relational trauma, boundary disruption, and attachment defense to restore boundaries, safety, and secure relational presence through breath and grounding.
Guided Meditation Shame: Loss of Self and Restoration of Inner Worth13:30
Practice a guided meditation to ease shame, recover a sense of self, and restore inner worth through gentle breathing, warm light, and compassionate presence that calms the nervous system.
Module 15 Long-Term Healing and Post-Traumatic Growth8:27
Explore long-term healing as the nervous system re-patterns toward a stable coherence and new baseline safety, revealing post-traumatic growth and energy healing supporting deep integration.
Module 16 The Mature Trauma-Informed Energy Healer11:58
Unify body, psych, and field to guide trauma-informed energy healing with safety, regulation, and coherence. Establish safety before intervention, honor boundaries and consent, and cultivate presence as the medicine.
Bonus Lecture: Continuing the Practice1:41
This bonus lecture explores how to continue developing and applying what you have learned beyond the course, turning understanding into an ongoing personal practice

Trauma-Informed Energy Healing: Science + Subtle Anatomy

Many people struggling with stress, trauma, emotional overwhelm, or chronic exhaustion are not lacking strength or motivation — their nervous system has learned to prioritize protection over restoration.

This course offers a grounded, trauma-informed approach to healing that brings together modern neuroscience and traditional subtle-energy understanding. Rather than forcing emotional release or pushing positive thinking, you will learn how healing occurs when the body first experiences safety.

Drawing on Polyvagal Theory, somatic awareness, and subtle anatomy practices, this course explains how trauma affects the nervous system, emotional regulation, and energy flow within the body. You will discover why symptoms such as anxiety, shutdown, emotional numbness, or difficulty connecting are natural protective responses — and how regulation allows life energy to gradually return.

Through clear teaching and guided practices, you will learn how to:

Understand trauma through a nervous system and biological lens
Recognize survival responses such as mobilization, shutdown, and dissociation
Support regulation using breath, grounding, and orientation practices
Work safely with emotional and energetic experiences without overwhelm
Understand chakras, subtle anatomy, and energy awareness in a trauma-informed way
Develop greater emotional capacity, stability, and self-connection

This course is designed for both individuals seeking personal healing and practitioners who want a safer, more integrated framework for working with trauma and energy practices.

The emphasis throughout is gentle, practical, and respectful of the body’s natural pace. Healing is approached not as fixing what is broken, but as helping the nervous system rediscover safety — allowing regulation, connection, and vitality to emerge naturally.

If you are ready to understand trauma differently and support lasting change through both science and subtle awareness, this course will guide you step by step.

Who this course is for:

Individuals Seeking Personal Healing
People Curious About Trauma and the Nervous System
Helpers, Practitioners, and Supporters
Those Interested in Energy Healing with Psychological Safety
