Course Overview
Trauma responses are not something that only appears in therapy rooms — it often shows up quietly on the massage table, through the nervous system, the breath, or the body’s protective responses.
As massage therapists and bodyworkers, we are already working with trauma physiology — whether we have the language for it or not.
This 8-hour, in-person course offers a grounded, embodied understanding of trauma and the nervous system, and how to apply trauma-informed principles ethically and practically within massage therapy sessions.
Rather than focusing solely on rules or compliance, this course emphasizes relational development, nervous system awareness, and presence — supporting both client safety and practitioner sustainability.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of this 8-hour course, you will be able to:Define trauma and understand its effects on the nervous system and bodyRecognize trauma responses in clients and how to respond appropriately.Apply trauma-informed principles directly to massage sessions.Create a safe, supportive therapeutic environment for trauma survivors.Respond ethically and appropriately when trauma responses occur.Strengthen consent, boundaries, and ethical decision-making.Develop self-care strategies to reduce burnout and compassion fatigue.
This course is experiential, reflective, and grounded in real-world practice.
Who This Course Is For
This course is designed for:
Licensed massage therapists seeking in person NCBTMB-approved CE hours
Bodyworkers and somatic practitioners wanting trauma-informed skills
Healers and wellness professionals working directly with the body
CE credit is available through NCBTMB for massage therapists.
Other bodyworkers and healers are welcome to attend for educational enrichment.
Why Becoming Trauma-Informed Matters
Many challenges in massage therapy don’t arise from misconduct — they arise from misunderstanding trauma responses, nervous system activation, and power dynamics within therapeutic relationships.
A trauma-informed approach supports you in:
Preventing re-traumatization
Navigating complex client responses with confidence
Holding clear, compassionate boundaries
Working sustainably without burnout
Trauma-informed care is not just about what we do — it’s about how we show up.

I am a licensed massage therapist and licensed mental health counselor with a clinical focus on trauma and the nervous system. My work bridges bodywork and trauma processing, supporting clients in restoring a felt sense of safety as they navigate healing on the table.
As a practicing trauma therapist specializing in Lifespan Integration, and a somatic bodyworker and coach, I bring a deeply integrative perspective to this training — one that honors both the physiology of trauma and the relational field of touch.
I teach because massage therapists and bodyworkers deserve education that is practical, embodied, and grounded in how trauma actually shows up in the body — not just in theory. I truly feel called to teach this CE and I am excited to share it!
