LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Christine and Nicki at Blossoming Connections

In our journey as Accredited Therapists we know that past trauma's and life experiences affected our clients overall wellbeing, attachments/relationships and a sense of self. We knew we wanted to support others to realise they could live a happier, fulfilling life based on love, trust and connection.

In 2017 we came together and formed Blossoming Connections from a joint passion of knowing that we can support others through our knowledge and experience. Blossoming Connections supports an individual's emotional state by breaking down barriers, while having a sense of belonging and feeling validated.

Our values are rooted in trust, safety, acknowledgement, kindness and compassion.

Our mission as ICF and CPD Accredited Somatic Trauma Informed Coaches is to educate leaders in becoming trauma-informed so that they learn how to regulate and understand the nervous system. In the midst of demanding professional and personal responsibilities, mental health challenges are escalating in the workplace, leading to a rise in absenteeism.

When leaders have the understanding of how past trauma can show up in a working environment, they are able to see a person through a different lens coming from a place of kindness, compassion and empathy that creates a ripple effect throughout the organisation that will enhance productivity.
