Lastly: you get free lifetime access to the live course content, so you can take the live course as often as you want/need.

What does it mean to be a trauma-informed practitioner?

~ You’re soooo much less likely to do harm, and are so much more likely to actually support your clients to have the transformation and healing they hired you for. 

~ You can do deeper, more profound and effective work with your clients. Being trauma informed makes you a more empathetic and well rounded practitioner that allows you to better serve your clients.

~ You understand that systemic, collective, ancestral, and generational trauma are real, and you are committed to equity and inclusion for everyone regardless of race, gender, age, nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or physical appearance/ability.

~ You have greater confidence, because not only is your work deeper and you have greater skills, but also…you know what to do when or if trauma comes up during your work.

~ You’re in alignment and you’re consent focused, so your clients trust and feel safe with you…which means you can do more effective work together.

~ You can repair when/if you mess up. Look, we’re human! And we err. Being trauma-informed helps you have the tools to acknowledge and hopefully repair a rupture if it happens. 

~ Your happy clients are SO much more likely to send referrals your way, because they’re happy with you and have experienced results. 

~ You know how to hold the most powerful and safe space possible for clients to become more self-aware, more regulated, and more ready to create what they came to you for.

~ You don't shy away from the hard things with your clients, because you how to navigate them through it.

~ You understand how to hold and work with your fears, patterns, and limiting behaviors so your stuff doesn't impact your work with your clients.

To name a few! There are so many more!

Testimonials from past cohorts:

Gina, a movement instructor, health coach, mindset coach, says:  

I just completed Eryka’s TICH program and I cannot say enough good things about it! I knew that her social work and coaching background coupled with her generosity would make this class robust. But she knocked it out of the park. This program is for everyone and if you’re a coach, teacher, bodyworker, healthworker, etc. — this should be required. 

Eryka's down to earth teaching style made it easy to understand the science, models and research behind being trauma informed. Her patience and ability to hold space with compassion made it possible to embody the teachings and be able to apply them in ourselves and in our work. Thanks to Eryka and the community I now have the tools, resources and knowledge to use with and pass on to my clients. 

The coaching industry has a lot of catching up to do as far as being trauma informed, this class (and Eryka) is definitely part of the solution. 

Joseph, an intimacy and life coach, says: 

I highly recommend coaches and healers take Trauma-Informed Coaching with Eryka Peskin!

I took it last year, and I’m a coach already trained in trauma work with people as a therapist. I still learned a lot about techniques for helping people out of trauma responses and into stronger resiliency. Through the extended class series, I became more aware of how I can set up my practice and marketing in a more trauma-informed manner, that feels better to me and to my clients.

Eryka is a delightful, energized teacher, bringing a verve and enthusiasm to this work. She is inspiring, and is a very effective teacher. I am so glad I took the chance and signed up to work with her. I left the class with a number of solid tools and techniques that enhance what I already knew. I found Eryka to be a deeply respectful and organized teacher, which helped me to grasp these terribly important concepts even more deeply. Thank you, Eryka. This class is stunning!

Vicki, a consultant and life coach, says: 

Coaches and healers are not therapists but sometimes find ourselves in positions where the trauma of our clients comes to light.  Experiences with trauma have far-reaching and long-lasting impacts in a person's life.  It's important for us, healers and coaches, to understand ways trauma is manifested, how to recognize when the trauma self is triggered, and how to respond when that happens.  Eryka's course presents solid information that you can use to follow the rule "First, Do No Harm."

Here’s what you can expect in 

Do No Harm: Trauma-Informed Coaching & Healing:

🌿 Do No Harm is a professional development training conducted online. You’ll need access to the interwebs, as well as a computer, tablet, or phone. 

🌿 We will begin our journey with an in-person gathering where we will introduce ourselves (if you want to, because you always have choice in how you show up!), we'll go over the space agreements, and create the container and community. 

🌿 There are 10 modules of information and content, and they will be delivered over 6 months via video and audio format. We will gather together on an almost fortnightly basis (I'm using that word instead of biweekly, because people tend to find it confusing :) ) with discussions, Q&As, working together in groups, with guest speakers, and in practica. There will be breaks throughout for catching up, integrating the information, and figuring out how to apply it to your practice.

🌿 This is a professional development training, and you'll get out of it what you put in. I encourage you to carve out time for the trainings and support calls. 

Do No Harm: Trauma-Informed Coaching & Healing is for you if:

~ You are a coach or healer—body worker, energy healer, and so forth—who wants to do no harm. 

~ You know people experience collective and systemic trauma, and you want to work with them without making things worse and burdening them with educating or taking care of you.

~ You have your own lived experience of trauma, and you (rightly) want to make sure it doesn’t come into your work with your clients.

~ You’ve heard words like “trauma” and “trauma-informed” and you don’t really know a whole lot about them, yet you recognize it’s important for you to learn.

~ You need to learn what trauma has to do with coaching and healing, what trauma informed coaching and healing is, and the important differences between coaching and healing and therapy.

~ You recognize that there’s a lot of potential for harm in coaching and healing due to ignorance about trauma…but there is SO much room for growth and good too!

~ You want to learn what to do when and if trauma does come up in your sessions.

~ You have seen how damaging and manipulative marketing can be, and you want to run your business differently.

~ You’ve made mistakes in the past and want to learn best practices to avoid them in the future. 

~ You want your work on desires and dreams, limiting beliefs and fears, mindset, health, money, healing touch, and pretty much all the things to be even more effective.

~ You know your work is important and good, but you know that it’s time for your clients to be even more cared for, even more eager to continue their work with you, and experience even better results.

~ You want to learn from a highly qualified trainer who implements trauma-informed practices.

~ You want to hold space for yourself and others with more awareness, inclusivity, and compassion.

Do No Harm: Trauma-Informed Coaching & Healing is NOT for you if:

~ You aren’t willing to acknowledge that systems of oppression are real.

~ You aren’t willing to do the work to unlearn them and apply those lenses to your practice. 

~ You don’t want to learn about trauma-informed practice from an intersectional and anti-oppression lens. 

~ You want to be able to check a box saying “I’m trauma-informed!” and do no further work. 

~ You don’t have the capacity to engage in the training. 

~ Swearing/cursing bothers you, because I do that.
