Resourcing Foundations: Rebuilding Safety and Support
with Athene Knüfer, PhD (Neuroscientist & Somatic Coach) and Danielle Heap (Breathwork & Somatic Coach)
Athene and Danielle draw on their combined training in somatics, somatic trauma therapy, nervous system regulation, yoga nidra, breathwork and embodied expression, as well as their lived experience of recovery from chronic symptoms. You’ll have the chance to choose, explore, and embrace the possibilities that best support your nervous system and your journey.
A self-paced 3-part workshop series designed to deepen awareness of Resourcing as a vital foundation for healing — ideal for those recovering from chronic symptoms, burnout, or chronic stress, or for finding steadiness in a fast-paced world.
With so many nervous system programs available, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or unsure about what works for you. When certain practices don’t resonate or we feel stuck in cycles of dysregulation, it can be disheartening. But healing isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s about gently exploring what your unique nervous system needs to cultivate safety and resilience.
This self-paced series explores how a trauma-informed, embodied approach to Resourcing supports nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and a felt sense of safety. Through somatic approaches, we invite you to develop personalised tools that align with your unique needs and personal and cultural histories. Whether you're new to this work or looking to go deeper, you’ll have space to explore and integrate the practices that truly support you.
