with Vicky Gaughan and Gabriela Valdés Villarreal

We are grateful to be together offering this unique approach to healing trauma in a Hakomi way, our love for Hakomi experiential and mindful way and the relevance of understanding how to support trauma healing.

We are senior trainers with more than 30 years of experience in both our own healing process exploring diverse healing methods and teaching the ones we have found effective and give results to clients and students.

We have found that trauma effects can keep people stuck in their healing journey and that is essential for everyone to understand how trauma works in our bodies and how to heal it.
We are exited to share this training with you.

Trauma affects the body & the mind.
Our nervous system influences how we perceive and respond to situations in our daily life.

In these series we will share experiential practices to:

• Understand the effects of trauma in the body  
• Offer practices for trauma healing with the uniqueness of Hakomi attunement and self discovery
• Offer a stable and safe place in the body to hold these understandings and practices

Through undertaking the Wisdom of the Body series you will support your practice to be trauma informed. Learning to support the integration of the trauma in yours and others bodies, leads to the resources needed to respond to the diverse experiences in your work room.

Our training series 

We are offering a series of trainings where we weave the basic concepts and practices to understand and heal trauma. In 2025 we start a series with basic training and in 2026 we will offer an in depth training.

Who are we

Vicky Gaughan from the UK
My body and my ancestry are built from the steel industry. Steel is my resource and it’s metaphorically in my cells. The deeper I go into my history the more resources I find. Blades of steel are not weapons to me, but they are powerful metaphors that give me the ability to cut to the chase, slice through injustices, and spread love.

I am a psychotherapist, and Hakomi trainer with my own lived experience of individual, collective, and historical trauma…and healing. I use my extensive experience in therapy and in particular somatic therapies to support others to recognise and safely release trauma through resourcing the body. As Bessel van der Kolk tells us, ‘the body keeps the score’ and Stephen Porges says, ‘safety IS the therapy’ These two statements are guiding principles and are the foundation of how I practice.
I’m from Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

Gabriela Valdés Villarreal from México

I am a Hakomi Trainer and practitioner, and I am grateful to accompany people and trainings with the beauty of self discovery. It is a source of awe to listen to the inner wisdom through the body and support the healing process. My own journey is that guides me to bring what I find valuable; this has led me to trauma healing work which has made a big difference in my life and I find an essential knowledge to support healing.
I love dancing, singing, art and nature. I live in Mexico City.

What supports Gabriela & Vicky in our work?
* Hakomi Trainings & Connections * Somatic Experiencing * Internal Family Systems * NonViolent Communication * Right Use of Power * Awareness of inequalities * Inspiration in Indigenous and Global Majority wisdom * Wheel of Consent * Biodanza & 5 Rhythms * Art * Nature * Silence and Presence * Family * Life Long Curiosity * Showing Up for Each Other * Beauty * Plant * Medicine * Moments of Awe * Liminal Realm * Wise Elders

We hold the reality that we are not immune from trauma. The territory we find ourselves in means each class will emphasize self care and we will use simple rituals leading to self discovery and connection in your learning community. We will weave theory into experiential exercises to activate healing process for our bodies and our nervous system as well as our academic appetite. This will be a rich & deep experience.

So where to start? The body of course!… and specifically the nervous system… with an essential understanding of the Autonomic NS. This pathway leads us to the Wisdom of the Body.

This series will appeal to Practitioners of all kinds.
