LIVE EVENTS
TRAUMA-INFORMED RELATIONAL SOMATICS
MODULE 1
Singapore: 11th - 15th May 2026
Adelaide, Australia: 3rd - 7th March 2027
Trauma-Informed Relational Somatics is the foundation training created by somatic therapist, Natalia Rachel.
This is an integrative professional development training that focuses on attunement above all, and blends talk and touch therapy to support clients recovering from trauma, and moving into post-traumatic growth, and transformation.
MODULE 2
Singapore: 24th - 28th August 2026
Adelaide, Australia: 12th - 16th May 2027
In Module Two, which is the sequel to Module One, we will explore intentional trauma processing. Module Two builds on the foundation set by Module One. You will learn how to navigate the client's trauma story, identify trigger threads, and work to access suppressed somatic content for gentle and contained release and integration. You will also learn how to psycho-educate a client and how to help them make sense of their experience.
Certification provided, pending post-training assessment and case submissions.
For more information on certification please contact us.
Experiential Training
As this is an experiential training, participants should come ready to explore their own stories through vulnerable sharing and somatic exploration. As always, it is through our embodied experience, that we can best integrate our learnings and go on to share in the world!
Who would benefit from this training?
Talk therapists/counselors seeking to integrate a trauma-informed and somatic approach to care.
Somatic practitioners interested in deepening their touch skills and somatic listening capabilities.
Movement & Embodiment facilitators interested in cultivating a trauma-informed practice and enhancing 1-1 space holding capabilities.
Health professionals who want to expand their toolkit and adopt a trauma-informed approach to care.
THE TRAUMA-CONSCIOUS MAMA
Thurs 7th May (PART 1) - Fri 8th May (PART 2) 2026
Led by Natalia Rachel, come prepared to lean into the collective unconscious, meet your heart with a new kind of compassion and set intention for deep healing and intergenerational liberation. The session will include conceptual sharing, group discussion, somatic inquiry/meditation, journalling and intention setting.
This is the kind of healing work that echoes through the cells of our babies and grandbabies.
In this special two part workshop, we will meet with the parental intention of understanding our own trauma wounding and how to begin the epic journey of containment and transformation so that we do not pass it on to our children.
EMBODIED SOMATICS
13th - 15th July 2026
Trauma often happens in dynamic, through relationship. Therefore, it makes sense that healing happens through relationship.
Trauma lives in the unconscious somatic realms of the body. Therefore, it makes sense that healing happens when we learn to listen and communicate to the unspoken, unseen, somatic and felt.
In this special three-day immersion, Natalia Rachel will guide you to approach therapeutic practises from both a relational and somatic approach.
RELATIONAL SOMATIC RE-TEMPLATING
Fri 21st August, 2026
This one-day workshop is designed to rewire us for healthy connection.
Many of us hold unconscious relating patterns of protection and survival. Either we have learned to self-protect to survive and belong, or we have been modelled unhealthy relating patterns though family, community, and culture. At one time, these patterns have helped us navigate the complex world, however they end up becoming the blocks to what we really crave… connection, harmony, intimacy and love.
Relational re-templating is all about bringing a compassionate gaze over our relational tendencies and creating a subtle caring space to gently begin to bring down our defences and slowly rewire ourselves for healthy connection. In this special workshop, trauma-informed facilitator, Natalia Rachel, will guide the group into a subtle space to explore the somatic sensations inside us and the tension and/or stories that emerge between us when we are operating from learned relational tendencies that keep us stuck in some kind of disconnection or life-draining dynamics. There will also be invitations to begin the rewiring process, orienting towards experiences of safe, life-giving connection. This one-day deep dive will encourage you to turn inward to meet your unconscious in new ways, and also to extend outward to explore your relational self within a safe, trauma-informed collective process.
Expect: Discussion, somatic exercises, working in dyads and smaller pods, journaling, and ritual-based intention-setting practise.
HEAL FOR LOVE
Mondays 7-9:30pm, Jan - May 2026
Whether you are partnered, single, in a situationship or figuring out what you truly want when it comes to love, this series is for you.
We live in a time when love sees further away than ever before. Maybe it’s the age of digital disconnection, maybe its our unhealed trauma or maybe it’s because what we’ve been taught about love and relationships is outdated and needs a total refresh.
In this series we will go deep to unpack all the things that may be blocking us from the kind of love that we desire and deserve.
Brought to you by Natalia Rachel, author, therapist and facilitator, thanks to our event partner Get A Grip Fitness, this series will guide the group on a nuanced journey of learning about our hearts, healing them and opening them to give and receive next level love.
Note: The five-part series is designed as a process that will create both an unearthing and scaffolding of the relational self.
While we encourage you to come for the entire series, drop in/single session bookings are also welcome.
