What You’ll Learn
The neurobiology and biochemistry of trauma How trauma lives in the body, hides in the nervous system, and passes through generations The difference between first, second, and third response—and how to meet each with skill How to attune to distress, assess trauma responses, and restore a person’s sense of safety How to work culturally and socially sensitively in moments of crisis How to prevent vicarious trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue in your own practice
The Inner Ocean Approach
We don’t offer quick fixes or superficial checklists. We offer embodied presence, honest tools, and a commitment to walk with you through the long arc of healing.
This training is different.
It doesn’t stop at the wound. It teaches you how to hold space for the full story.
For the freeze and the fight, the fracture and the rebirth.
Because healing isn’t a task—it’s a way of being.
"I remember when I first heard about the atrocities in Tibet. I wanted to help. But I knew I didn’t have the tools to meet that level of suffering without breaking myself open. That was the beginning of this journey.”
— Mindi K. Counts, Founder of Inner Ocean Empowerment Project
Acupuncturist, Herbalist, Wilderness First Responder, and Global Health Activist
