The Voyage® Essentials
Finally — a practical, compassionate foundation in trauma awareness for coaches, clinicians & healing professionals.
Whether you're holding space in therapy rooms, coaching calls, classrooms, or yoga studios — trauma is in the room. And without the right map, it’s easy to get lost. This course gives you the compass: a solid, embodied understanding of trauma and nervous system regulation that transforms the way you work — and how your clients heal.
You’ll walk away with:
A deep, embodied understanding of trauma
So you can stop second-guessing, and start responding with compassion and confidence. You’ll finally understand what’s happening beneath the surface — in behaviours, emotions, and relationships — and know how to meet it safely.
A full regulation toolkit that works in real life
No more scrambling to “ground someone” without knowing how. You’ll learn proven tools to support the nervous system — from breath to movement to vocalisation — and when to use each one
The ability to recognise trauma responses — and stay steady
Whether it’s fight, flight, freeze or fawn, you’ll recognise it in yourself and others — and respond with skill instead of shock or shame.
Language that builds safety, not harm
You’ll gain trauma-informed communication tools that regulate, not retraumatise — words that soothe the nervous system and make people feel seen.
An ethical, trauma-aware framework to work within your scope
Feel clear about your boundaries and your role — with practical guidance on when to hold space, when to pause, and when to refer on.
A grounded, confident presence your clients feel
No more “winging it.” You’ll radiate calm, clarity and integrity — and your clients, students or team will feel safer the moment they meet you.
Who This Is For
This course is for you if you work with people in any capacity and want to deepen your trauma literacy without diving into clinical training.
Perfect for:
- Coaches (life, mindset, somatic, executive, embodiment)
- Counsellors and newly qualified therapists
- Yoga teachers, energy healers, and bodyworkers
- Support workers, mentors, educators, and frontline staff
You don’t need prior trauma training. Just an open mind and a commitment to holding safer, wiser space.
