Step into a restorative day of calm and self-discovery. Guided by Dr. Kimberly Chew, Clinical Psychologist and trauma-informed somatic therapist, this one-day workshop is rooted in the science of Polyvagal Theory — the study of how our nervous system influences safety, connection, and emotional balance.

Through a blend of mindfulness, gentle movement, reflective journaling, and creative expression, you’ll learn how to listen to your body’s signals, regulate your stress responses, and reconnect with a sense of inner steadiness. It’s a day to reset your nervous system and return home to yourself.

💫 Why Attend This Workshop

If you’ve ever said, “I know I should feel calm, but my body doesn’t,” this day is for you. 

PolyVagal Pathways helps you understand why you feel anxious, restless, or shut down — and teaches you how to gently guide your body back to safety. You’ll learn science-backed, body-based tools to soothe your nervous system, cultivate emotional resilience, and restore your capacity for connection and joy.

You’ll leave not just relaxed, but equipped with everyday techniques to carry that calm into your real life.

💛 Who Should Attend

This workshop is ideal for anyone feeling stressed, anxious, or emotionally fatigued — or for those who simply wish to reconnect with their body’s natural rhythm of rest and balance. It’s also valuable for counsellors, coaches, and wellness professionals wanting to experience Polyvagal principles in action before integrating them into their own practice.

Whether you’re new to somatic work or continuing your personal growth journey, this workshop offers a grounded, compassionate space to pause, reset, and learn from within.
