What students are saying about Trauma Aware Healthcare

E.O. (movement and trauma therapist)

Trauma Aware Healthcare for Manual Therapists is a thorough and evidence based course which covers not only the theoretical components necessary for understanding this approach to care but, more importantly the experiential components which are the foundation of a trauma informed practice. Jessica is knowledgeable and clear in her communication. She demonstrates a calm and supportive presence. There are so many courses advertising nervous system education, this one encompasses all of the necessary elements to start working from a trauma informed perspective and be effective at it.

V. A. (Registered Massage Therapist)

I loved how this course is so applicable to RMTs and health care providers. Jessica makes the information relevant for massage therapists and what we already know and do in our daily work. I learned a lot of useful information and will definitely be signing up for level two.
