“As a therapist, I was aware of all these different theories and ideas but could never quite see how they all fit together. Maddi layered these complex ideas in such an easy to follow way. I had quite a few aha moments where all the dots were connected. I not only better understand these concepts but I feel like I now embody this work, which I now understand is ultimately what serves our clients most."

Anita, Registered Psychotherapist, Ontario, CA

Trauma affects everyone.

Trauma can happen at any age when we live through anything that overwhelms us past our ability to return to a sense of being OK.

It disconnects us from our body, from people around us and from feeling safe in the world.

Sometimes traumatic events are dramatic, like an accident, crime or a natural disaster.

Sometimes trauma results from being directly harmed, watching someone else be harmed, living in an unsupportive environment, or being affected by trauma in your family or community.

Trauma can leave a person feeling threatened, humiliated, rejected, abandoned, invalidated, unsafe, trapped, unsupported, ashamed or powerless — both when the event happened and long after the event has passed.

The effects might be noticeable immediately or after a long time.

Although there may be nothing visibly wrong with someone who’s experienced trauma, it can cause long-lasting effects on the way we think, feel and handle everyday life.

If we haven’t personally experienced some form of trauma, we’ve all observed someone else who is still struggling with the effects of trauma.

We can’t change what happened to ourselves or others.

We can equip ourselves to skillfully spot and understand trauma in the body and its effect on our daily lives.

We can develop the self-awareness required to safely and effectively support ourselves and others with their day-to-day functioning.

To be regulated in daily life is an invaluable skill that will dramatically shift how you feel and interact with the world on a daily basis.

Will you benefit from this training?

My deepest hope is that as many people as possible learn about trauma, since it affects everyone.

I believe it is our responsibility to educate ourselves in this arena to support and heal.

I believe you’ll benefit from this program if:

You're a teacher

who’s concerned or discouraged by students who may be “disruptive,” struggling to concentrate, do their homework or socialize in healthy ways.

You’re a parent or spouse

and you love your family. Yet you’re also finding yourself frustrated, annoyed or upset by some of their habits or behaviours.

You’re a coach

who's noticed some of your clients are thriving while others get stuck and don’t seem to get the same results, and you’re not sure what to do.

You’re a yoga, fitness or pilates instructor

who wants to know how to support clients in a deeper way, finding relief and a healthy relationship to their body.

You’re a therapist or health worker

who wants to better understand and talk about trauma while learning how to work with the body to vastly increase resiliency and healing.

You're a curious human being

that wants to understand how trauma shapes us and impacts all of us, then this training is for you.

Principal, Ontario, CA

“I want everyone to take this training! It's not a textbook approach to working with trauma, it's a felt sense, heart-centred approach.

It's what the world needs more of.”

Holistic training led by an expert

My name is Maddi Rundle, RP

I’ve been studying and researching trauma for years. I’ve led a successful private practice as a Registered Psychotherapist for 10 years and I’ve spent 12 years as a Certified Yoga Instructor. I’ve personally experienced trauma as a child and adult. I’ve supported clients to heal from trauma. I’ve seen how trauma shows up and creates distress and suffering in the mind, body and spirit.

I want every person in a position of power to understand trauma so you can navigate it with open-mindedness and compassion. I want to show you the tools and practices you need to self-regulate — so that you can respond with empathy and understanding.

When you are steady in your own feeling of OK-ness, you create a sense of safety, trust, empowerment and healing. The world needs more people like you and I to do this, for ourselves and for others.

My courses have helped hundreds of people improve their relationships with themselves, others and with life. More than 150 people have completed this course, which helps you understand how trauma affects the whole person: the brain, body and the nervous system.

Every single graduate of this program is now facing life with more presence and helping create a sense of safety for hundreds of others. When we make simple shifts, we create massive positive ripples.

Movement practices

will help you calm your nervous system, feel more present and centred, which helps you with decision making, focus, logistics, planning, memory and emotional and behavioural expression.

Body-based actions

to help activate your nervous system when you need help with motivating yourself to take action.

Learning “felt sense”

gives you the language and ability to decode what your body is telling you and to process your emotions so they no longer consume or overtake you.

Boundary work

helps you identify what’s important to you, what your needs are and how to freely and effectively communicate what works and doesn’t work for you.

Increasing your window of tolerance

which is critical to allow you and others to stay present so you and they can learn, connect or take meaningful action. You’ll identify this for yourself and others and you’ll gain the tools to re-engage your audience.

Understanding attachment styles

helps immeasurably so we can be our optimal selves. You’ll understand the resources you can use to provide yourself and others with a sense of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Body and breathwork exercises

to complete the stress cycle, regulate the nervous system, and learn how trauma affects the brain and how you can heal the brain-body connection.

Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual approach

to build empathy and understanding so that you can see individuals as the whole unique person that they are. This approach fosters open-mindedness and compassion for Self and others.
