The Embodied Care Collective

The Embodied Care Collective exists to increase access to trauma-informed, body-based support for people who may otherwise be unable to access it. 

We believe healing and recovery are not only cognitive processes, but embodied ones. For many people living with the effects of trauma, traditional pathways can feel inaccessible due to cost, eligibility criteria, waitlists, stigma, or a lack of suitable services. Our aim is to bridge that gap by making evidence-informed, embodied approaches more available within the community. 

The collective supports adults experiencing the impacts of PTSD, complex trauma, childhood trauma, relational trauma, abuse, recovery challenges, and other experiences that affect nervous system wellbeing and quality of life. 

Through community-funded programmes, subsidised services, and partnerships with qualified practitioners, we seek to create safe, accessible opportunities for individuals to reconnect with their bodies, develop self-regulation skills, and experience greater wellbeing. 

The Embodied Care Collective is currently focused on Trauma Sensitive Yoga programmes and aims to grow over time to include additional trauma-informed modalities, including creative and movement-based therapies, delivered by appropriately qualified practitioners. 

Our vision is a community where access to embodied, trauma-informed support is not determined by income, eligibility criteria, or circumstance.
