Trauma-informed, body-based care — delivered where it’s needed most.
Looking for support with stress or trauma?
Our group programs support people who experience barriers to mainstream mental health care. They are delivered in hospitals, schools, prisons, and accessible community settings.
Some programs are free and delivered in partnership with local services. Others are open to the public and fee-based to sustain our work.
What we do
We teach people body-based skills to calm their nervous systems, lower stress, and feel safer and more at ease in their bodies and minds. We also train frontline workers to use these tools, so they can better cope with stress and bring this approach into everyday mental health care.
Outreach
Free and low-cost wellbeing programs in hospitals, prisons, and community settings.
Education
Trauma-informed and body-based education, trainings, and resources for the care sector.
Community engagement
Free and accessible classes, workshops, and events with a focus on community wellbeing.
Our approach
Our programs are grounded in our trauma-informed, body-based Somatic Model of Care.
Using this model, we integrate movement, mindfulness, nervous system education, and relational care to support people navigating trauma and chronic stress.
But our approach isn’t just about individual care. It’s about reimagining how wellbeing is shared, sustained and embedded across communities, services and systems.
Why the body?
We focus on the body because that’s where the effects of both stress and trauma are often stored.
Research shows that trauma-informed movement, breath-work, and mindfulness can significantly reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and PTSD. These practices have also been shown to support and sustain resilience and connection.
Our work draws on trauma-informed, evidence-backed, and community-responsive practices that support:
Self-awareness and self-compassion
A sense of agency and control
Nervous system regulation
Connection and belonging
Long-term resilience and recovery

“I have tried many self-taught practices, meditation, counselling and courses alike over the years. I genuinely feel Collective Being's Therapeutic Movement and Mindfulness Program has been the physical and emotional component necessary for my body to recognise it is safe. I'm truly grateful.”

“I have felt at a loss the last few days, like I have needed something but unsure what and didn’t feel like a full on counselling session. Coming here has felt like it’s met what I was looking for. I feel a lot better.”
