Trauma-Aware Certification

Foundations for safer, more supportive spaces for every nervous system

Whether you work in education, therapy, healthcare, coaching, HR, or any role that involves supporting others, trauma aware practice is not optional. It is essential.

Because trauma is the missing piece.
When we understand trauma, we begin to understand behaviour, burnout, resistance, shutdown and overwhelm through a very different lens.

Understanding trauma is not just about what happened in someone’s past. It is about how their nervous system is shaped in the present.

Why Trauma-Aware practice matters (now more than ever)

Trauma does not always look like crisis. It can look like chronic burnout. Emotional shutdown. Overthinking. People pleasing. Or not knowing how to feel safe in your own skin.

And when we support clients or communities through a one size fits all lens, we risk missing what is actually going on beneath the surface. Trauma is often the missing piece in what we are seeing and responding to.

This training will help you:

  • Understand how trauma lives in the body - not just the mind
  • Work safely with sensitive or dysregulated nervous systems (including your own)
  • Recognise patterns like shutdown, fight and flight
  • Bring more compassion, clarity and consent into your professional space

Why this matters for Neurodivergent Inclusion

Many trauma responses mirror neurodivergent traits and many neurodivergent people have experienced trauma from being misunderstood, unsupported or asked to fit in.

This course helps you honour difference without pathologising it. It’s a space where you’ll learn to meet nervous systems, not diagnoses, with care.

Next steps

If you’re ready to create safer, more supportive spaces – this training is for you.

More about Sally...

I’m Sally – late-identified AuDHD, deeply sensitive and still unravelling. I’m a somatic, trauma-informed coach specialising in supporting neurodivergent adults, particularly those exhausted by masking, navigating late-diagnosis grief or trying to cope in a world that wasn’t built for their nervous systems.

My approach is gentle, body-led and deeply relational. I support people who’ve spent years holding it all together, often labelled as ‘too much’ or ‘too sensitive’, to finally feel safe enough to exhale. 

My work is rooted in a trauma-informed understanding of the nervous system, and using  Brainspotting, Parts Work, and somatic tools, I support people in recognising that what often gets labelled as anxiety, burnout or emotional dysregulation is often the body’s brilliant response to chronic stress, masking, or survival mode. Together, we explore the impact of past experiences on the present, to gently unhook from old patterns and reconnect with the parts of you that were never broken, only protecting you.

Outside of this work, I ground myself in nature  – walking in the woods or dipping into cold water to reset. These moments of stillness shape how I hold space for others: slow, attuned, and always with care.

If you’re craving a space where your nervous system doesn’t have to perform – just be felt, honoured, and understood – I’d love to walk alongside you.

More about Dan...

Neurodiversity-Affirming, Trauma-Aware Coach

I’m Dan, a somatic, trauma-aware coach. Most of the people I work with are trying to figure out why life feels so bloody hard sometimes, even when they’re doing all the right things.  

I support adults who feel burnt out from masking, overwhelmed by the day to day, or worn down by the effort of fitting into everyone else’s version of normal. Many of the people I work with are Autistic or ADHD, but not everyone is, what matters is how you experience and make sense of things.  

Like most of my clients, I’ve been there too, years of keeping up the act, overthinking everything, and pretending I was fine when I wasn’t. I do this work because I know how much difference it makes when someone finally meets you where you are, no masks and no judgement, just understanding.  

My approach is practical and collaborative to help you make sense of what’s really going on underneath and work with your nervous system, not against it. Some sessions are practical and some are slower. You can show up exactly as you are and we’ll follow what’s useful, not a plan someone else wrote.  

When I’m not coaching, you’ll probably find me out walking, cooking a roast big enough for leftovers, or reading crime fiction on my Kindle.

More about Suzanne...

My mission is to help as many people as possible find happiness and live their lives to the fullest. I provide a safe and nurturing environment where clients can get curious about their past trauma, understand the connection between mind and body, and reclaim their power in the present.

I believe that everyone deserves to be seen and heard, without judgment or repercussions. In our 1-on-1 sessions, you have the freedom to express yourself authentically, to delve into your emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you can get curious and start to grow at your own pace. By working somatically with the body, we tap into the power of sensations and help you develop a deeper understanding of how past trauma manifests in the body and shows up in the present.

Through guided exploration, we’ll identify the parts of you that have been shaped by feelings and core wounds of unworthiness, not being good enough, not important enough and unlovable. With compassion and curiosity, we’ll nurture your inner child, offering the love and support they’ve always needed. Together, we’ll navigate through the challenges of overwhelm, stress, anxiety, and more. We’ll discover the power of selflove, self-care, and self-acceptance. You’ll embark on a journey of growth, where you’ll find your voice, rebuild confidence, and live a life aligned with your true essence.

More about Michelle...

A few years ago, I began my own healing journey. Like many people, I didn’t think of myself as someone who had experienced trauma. But through working with a trauma-informed coach, I started to see how past experiences had shaped my emotions and behaviors. That journey changed everything for me.

I became certified in somatic trauma-informed coaching and trained as a Brainspotting practitioner, learning how to connect with emotions stored in the body and approach healing with curiosity and compassion. Now, I’m on a mission to share these transformative tools with others.

All That We Are was born from this passion. It’s about raising awareness of trauma, helping people connect with their emotions, and offering practical, compassionate support. We want to normalize the conversation around trauma because, we’ve all experienced it in some way.

Outside of work, my life is all about connection and growth. My husband and I homeschool our son, which has been an incredible adventure and a constant reminder of the joy in learning together. I’m also a huge fan of ice baths—I love the challenge, the clarity, and the sense of calm they bring (yes, really!).

I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued—and I’m here to help people realize they are enough, just as they are.

Through workshops, 1-2-1 coaching, and education across schools, workplaces, and beyond, my amazing team and I are here to support you on your journey to becoming whole, happy, and fulfilled.

Let’s take the first step together. You’re not alone.
