Trauma-Informed Resilience Certification
Teacher: Dr. Rachael Muster
Duration: 9 Hours | 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
 
When energy shifts, what do you do next?
If you work with people through Reiki, sound healing, EFT, breathwork, yoga, coaching, or therapy, reflexology, Thai massage —or are doing deep personal healing—energy will move.
Emotions surface. Nervous systems activate. Old patterns can rise unexpectedly.
 
Trauma-Informed Resilience is the training that teaches you how to respond when that happens.
Rather than focusing on trauma as pathology, this training centers resilience: the nervous system’s capacity to regulate, adapt, and recover through safety, choice, connection, and pacing.
 
Trauma-Informed Resilience recognizes that while trauma may shape nervous system patterns, those patterns are not fixed identities. With the right conditions, people can restore flexibility, agency, and connection.
 
This certification is ideal for:
If you open energy, hold space, or work with the body or nervous system, this training fills a critical gap.
Mental health professionals (CEs pending)
Anyone wanting to build their own trauma-informed resilience and nervous system capacity
 
After this training, you’ll be able to:
Recognize signs of nervous system activation or shutdown
Respond skillfully when emotions or energy intensify
Support regulation without retraumatization or overreach
Know when to pause, modify, or refer—without shame or harm
Protect your own nervous system and prevent burnout
Practice with greater confidence, clarity, and integrity
 
You’ll Explore
What trauma is—and isn’t—through a nervous-system lens
How stress and trauma reorganize the body, perception, and energy
Polyvagal theory and the autonomic nervous system
Window of tolerance, Neuroception, and co-regulation
Interoception and embodiment for regulation (not catharsis)
Trauma-informed language, consent, and pacing
The energy body as felt vitality, charge, and boundaries
Cultural and contextual influences on regulation
Post-traumatic growth and resilience
Ethical closure and integration
Practitioner nervous system sustainability
 
Why This Certification Matters
Many practitioners are taught how to open energy—but not how to hold what opens.
As nervous-system-based, somatic, and energy practices become more mainstream, the need for trauma-informed skill has never been greater. Clients are bringing more stress, more complexity, and more sensitivity into healing spaces—and practitioners are being asked to hold that without adequate training or support.
 
Trauma-Informed Resilience ensures that your work:
Supports healing without overwhelm
Honors both client and practitioner nervous systems
Builds capacity instead of dependency
Is grounded, ethical, and sustainable over time
This training isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what you already do with greater awareness, safety, and confidence.
