Course Description — Trauma-Sensitive Practices (21 CE Hours)

Trauma-Sensitive Practices is a 21-hour continuing education course designed to help massage therapists create a safer, more attuned, and supportive environment for clients who may have experienced trauma.

All 21 CE hours are earned across two days of teaching on location, before the Camino walk begins, through applied somatic awareness, mindfulness, and embodied presence practices.

Participants will learn:

  • How trauma shows up in the body
  • Basic trauma physiology
  • Recognizing signs of trauma activation
  • Identifying potential triggers in a massage setting
  • Supporting client choice, comfort, and empowerment
  • Somatic tools for grounding, presence, and regulation
  • Staying centered and attuned during sessions

These practices help therapists work with greater clarity, integrity, and compassion. Non-practitioners are warmly welcome to join these sessions as tools for personal wellbeing – or to simply explore the beautiful towns of Spain and Portugal.

The Retreat Experience Includes

  • Trauma-sensitive somatic practices (optional for non-practitioners)
  • Reflective discussions and integration circles
  • Creative practices for emotional clarity
  • A supportive community environment
  • Guidance from experienced Camino facilitators
  • A meaningful week-long walk on the Camino de Santiago
  • 21 CE credits for massage therapists

Cost, Payments & Dates

  • Included: Lodging, breakfasts, luggage transport, navigation and guidance, 21 CE credits (for practitioners), and group support.
