This gentle, practical webinar is designed for clinicians who want to incorporate breath work into their practice while recognizing that common instructions like “just take a deep breath” can be counterproductive or even triggering for some clients. The session explores how the nervous system’s freeze and fight-flight responses can be activated by forced, rapid, or directive breathing practices, particularly in trauma-exposed individuals.

Participants will learn and experience alternative, subtle breath-based approaches that support regulation without intensity, overwhelm, or loss of agency. Emphasis is placed on noticing small shifts, supporting choice, and working within a client’s existing capacity for safety. The webinar also explores how to offer breath practices using trauma-wise, autonomy-respecting language that enhances attunement and trust.

By the end of the session, clinicians will feel more confident using breath as a supportive, regulation-focused tool that prioritizes safety, consent, and nervous system responsiveness.

Shirley Hicks

Shirley empowers clinicians to meet clients with safety, sensitivity, and the deep nervous-system attunement that trauma recovery requires. Her work centres on creating healing experiences—somatically, cognitively, and relationally—so survivors can move toward stability without being retraumatised in the process.

With over three decades of somatic psychotherapy experience, Shirley’s practice is anchored in one essential question: “What functional new experience can we co-create in this moment?” She brings profound depth and compassion to her work with survivors of religious and institutional abuse and Victims of Crime, and she loves training clinicians to embody presence as a living part of effective practice.

And when the workday ends, Shirley returns to her creative loves—gardening, singing, cooking, and eating beautiful food (though not all at once!).
