“We may not be responsible for the world that created our minds, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we create our world.”

Gabor Mate, In an Unspoken Voice: How the Body Releases Trauma and Restores Goodness

Welcome to Trauma Sensitive Space

Trauma Sensitive Space provides a selection of supportive embodied practices including trauma sensitive yoga by TCTSY, and EFT Tapping. Trauma Sensitive Space is available to everyone, with a focus on working with individuals who have experienced trauma.

Around seventy percent of people have experienced trauma at some point in their life. While all trauma experiences are unique, many of the symptoms that arise after living through trauma, can have similarities. Research by Bessel Van Der Kolk (psychiatrist and author), and David Emerson (Center for Trauma and Embodiment) document studies that record TCTSY to be both effective in improving symptoms of CPTSD and PTSD, and also in leading to complete recovery, in those that have been previously treatment resistant.

TCTSY (Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga) is a clinically recognised, evidence-based, body-based treatment for trauma. With acknowledgment that all journeys with trauma are unique, Jana aims to build community through the shared experience of trauma, and the possibility of human healing. Trauma Sensitive Space aims to provide a safe environment where participants can reconnect with their senses, explore nature, engage with sound and cultivate bodily awareness, and present moment experience.

These offerings are designed to be inclusive and accessible to all, embracing diversity across races, ethnicities, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, disabilities, body types, religions, ages and socio-economic backgrounds.

Meet Jana, 800 hr certified yoga facilitator, specialising in Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), two evidence-based, body-based treatments for complex trauma and PTSD.

Trauma Sensitive Space draws inspiration from a number of unique destinations across Australia. Experience the serene beauty of UNESCO, World Heritage Listed Lord Howe Island, NSW, and explore the rugged landscapes of The Kimberley in Western Australia, as they are incorporated into this offering. Along with running yoga classes in the unique locations she has visited, Jana’s experience has included facilitating yoga for The Freedom Hub survivor school, in Sydney’s inner west, supporting survivors of modern day slavery, and running charity events fundraising for those that have lived through trauma.

Trauma Sensitive Space aims to create a supportive community for those who have lived through and experienced trauma, combining nature’s beauty with mindfulness practices to aid in the healing journey. Jana uses movement, mindfulness and spoken word, to support self discovery and self empowerment.
