Professional Development Weekend Immersion with Dr Amber Gray
in Byron Bay, Australia
In recent years, trauma-informed practice has undergone a profound shift, shaped by groundbreaking frameworks such as The Body Keeps the Score and Polyvagal Theory. As therapists, health professionals, community workers and educators, we are increasingly called to move beyond talk-based models and towards approaches that recognise the body as central to recovery, regulation, resilience, learning and change. This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from a world leader in somatic trauma therapy in the stunning setting of Byron Bay, Australia.
In a time where burnout and nervous system dysregulation are increasingly common for clients, practitioners, groups and communities, this weekend intensive offers a powerful reset: an invitation to return to the body, restore regulation, and strengthen the skills needed to support your clients/participants and communities with greater confidence, safety, and care.

What You’ll Learn:

• Learn how to cultivate greater relative safety when working with complex trauma and chronic stress, both with individuals and in group settings.
• Integrate polyvagal theory and body-based practices into your clinical or professional work, including the ventral/social engagement system and its role in shaping group dynamics.
