Please join me and many other speakers for this free Online Learning Retreat for Grief and Trauma from May 20 2022.



This will be a 2 day online event hosted by Grief & Trauma Coach and Yoga Teacher Leah Morgan of Still We Rise Coaching, with all proceeds to go to Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital to fight childhood cancer and leukaemia.


This is an online social movement to empower grief, trauma and mental health survivors to gain insights into what they can do to improve and transform their lives, with the speakers offering a specialist network of support through their contributions, information, expertise and experience, featured via informal discussions, interview-style or formal presentations. Content will be available for 7 days.


This learning retreat will include expert and inspirational speakers for this debut online event, covering a range of subjects including grief, trauma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, loss, change, worry, and overwhelm.


I have been fortunate enough to contribute a podcast with Leah sharing about my personal journey and professional involvement with trauma and outlining how I support clients to release trauma with Trauma Discharge Therapy. More details to follow.
