Course Overview
This course explores acupuncture and Chinese medicine as the perfect modality for treating survivors of traumatic stress. Vibrational illness meets vibrational medicine!
Traumatic stress impacts every aspect of our mind-body-spirit. Its’ transformation requires approaches beyond language, trusting our body’s capacity to restore balance and regulation, and understanding symptoms as signs meant to guide a process that supports restoring core regulation and whole-body coherence.
We will integrate polyvagal theory with the Five Elements as our framework for exploring complex trauma, including:
- The critical importance of regulation in the Kidney/Heart axis as an expression of the relationship between the Dorsal and Ventral Vagus and the Water and Fire Elements.
- The long-term impact of a freeze response on the Earth and Fire Elements.
- Supporting the development of mobilization responses that protect and defend ourselves and others and are commensurate with the threat level in the Sympathetic Nervous System/Wood Element.
- An opportunity to witness and practice a simple yet powerful intervention that can be done in person or virtually to restore regulation between the Water and the Fire – the Kidney and the Heart.
Advances in the last 10-20 years in studying the neurobiology of traumatic stress have revolutionized mental health treatment for trauma spectrum disorders. Our patients will benefit when we integrate these modern, scientific understandings of the human response to threat into how we offer our needles, manage clinical interactions and interpret our client’s signs and symptoms.

Course Reviews:
everything and more
This course was everything and more than I’ve been waiting for. I practice Acupuncture and Shiatsu and Tre. I had studied Polyvagal Theory as part of my training in Tre. There was a gap; meeting of East and West. A gap that my 20 or so years with working with survivors of abuse and trauma had intuited that a sense of relationship and safety was paramount. I felt as though I had pegs but needed a line from which they could hang.
this was that line. Inspirational and timely. A heartfelt thank you to Alaine, whose knowledge, skill and compassion was ever present throughout.
I was delighted
I was delighted with how much I learned from a somatic perspective. I loved how Alaine bridged the somatic awareness and presence into the treatments. I gained a lot of respect and trust in her work because of how she always brought the container of the class, and of treatments, back to safety.
Amazing course!
This was an amazing course that I was able to apply immediately to my acupuncture practice. Alaine does a wonderful job of simplifying complex ideas into a way that is both easy to understand and applicable to any kind of healing profession (acupuncture, therapy, massage, etc.). I enjoyed the live sessions and the ability to practice these concepts with other people.
I highly recommend this course to anyone that works with stress, anxiety, and trauma. After almost a year of living in a pandemic (as of Feb 2021) it’s safe to say that having these skills for your patients or clients will make you a more effective practitioner.
