Becoming a Trauma-Informed Healer: What You Need to Know

The word “healer” carries a lot of weight.
But in the trauma-informed world, we’re not here to fix, save, or elevate ourselves above anyone else.

At Jax, we don’t believe in the pedestal. We don’t believe in claiming to “heal” people.
We believe in creating sacred, embodied spaces where healing can happen.
Spaces where the body feels safe enough to soften. Where grief is allowed. Where energy moves. Where trauma begins to unravel—not through force, but through presence.

If you feel called to hold that kind of space for others, this is for you.

Trauma-Informed Is More Than a Buzzword

The term "trauma-informed" is everywhere now—and while it's beautiful that awareness is growing, it’s also being thrown around with little substance.

At Jax, trauma-informed means understanding the nervous system inside out. It means respecting the pace of someone’s process. It means knowing the difference between a breakthrough and a breakdown—and never pushing someone into either.

Because here’s the truth: you don’t need to know someone’s story to hold space for their healing.
But you do need to understand how trauma shows up in the body. In the breath. In the fascia. In the nervous system. In the subtle energy field.

Our facilitators are trained to:

• Work with emotional release without retraumatising

• Spot signs of overwhelm, freeze, or disassociation

• Hold grounded, non-performative space when big emotions rise

• Prioritise safety over intensity

• Honour the body’s wisdom, not override it

You don’t need to be a guru to be a powerful space holder.
You just need to be regulated, real, and rooted in your own body.

Your Lived Experience Is Part of Your Wisdom

This path isn’t about being perfect, or “healed enough.”
It’s about becoming more human. More honest. More embodied.

Some of the most powerful facilitators we’ve trained didn’t come from a clinical background. They came with lived experience—grief, trauma, loss, rebirth—and a desire to alchemise that experience into honest, heart-led service.

In our facilitator training, we don’t just hand you tools.
We take you into your own body. Your own emotional landscape.
Because you can’t hold the sacred grief of someone else if you’ve never touched your own.

You’ll experience:

• Somatic processes to support trauma release

• Daily Kundalini energy activation sessions

• Nervous system education and integration tools

• Practice sessions with real feedback

• Personal healing, community reflection, and embodied leadership

This is not a badge to earn—it’s a process to live through.
And when you’ve lived it, you hold space from a place that no manual can teach.

It’s Not About the Method, It’s About the Integrity

Kundalini energy, breathwork, sound healing, bodywork, energy healing—these are just tools. Beautiful, potent ones—but they don’t mean much without the integrity behind how they’re used.

At Jax, every method is taught within a trauma-informed, body-led framework.
You’ll learn how to facilitate in a way that’s responsive, not prescriptive.
And you’ll learn that it’s not about pushing someone into a release, but gently creating space for something to rise—if it’s ready.

This is where real transformation happens. Not in flashy activations, but in quiet moments of reconnection. A deep breath. A safe touch. A single tear that finally falls.

That’s the kind of space we teach you to hold.
Present. Regulated. Real.

This work isn't about perfection. It's about presence.

It's about learning how to sit with someone in their truth without needing to fix it.
It's about building trust in your own body so you can guide others back to theirs.
It's about staying connected—to yourself, to your intuition, and to the energy moving through the space.

The world doesn’t need more “healers.”
It needs more honest humans—embodied, informed, compassionate space holders—willing to show up with integrity.

If that’s you, we’d love to walk beside you as you grow.

Who Is This Training For?

You don’t have to be a practitioner already. You don’t need a diploma on your wall.
What you need is a willingness to do the work yourself—and then hold space for others to meet themselves, too.

This path is for:

• Bodyworkers, breathworkers, space holders, coaches, and yoga facilitators

• People who’ve navigated their own trauma and want to create spaces with care

• Those drawn to spiritual and energy healing with nervous-system-led integrity

• Humans ready to step out of guru culture and into grounded, heart-led leadership

This isn’t about fixing people. It’s about holding the field where they remember themselves.
That’s the work. And it’s sacred.
