About this Event

A small, safe, and supportive group space.

This course offers practical techniques to help calm the nervous system and reduce anxiety, overwhelm, and trauma-related responses.

You will not be asked to talk about your trauma or distress.

Instead, we focus on working with your neurobiology — helping you discover and strengthen pathways that support calm and regulation.

About the facilitator

Jeannie Thompson is an experienced practitioner with decades of clinical work. She brings a depth of knowledge and a practical, compassionate approach to supporting people with anxiety and trauma. Jeannie believes you can deactivate many trauma memories and repair the damage that keeps the person in their trauma-based responses, nightmares, flashbacks, racing brains, and anxiety. Sounds amazing? Too good to be true? She has seen these work hundreds of times.


Now aged 76, she is passionate about sharing the techniques she has developed and refined over many years.
