Transforming Practices Conference 2026

Trauma doesn’t just affect the mind — it lives in the body and nervous system. In this talk, Dr. Joelle Johnson explores how physical, emotional, and chemical trauma can impact the nervous system, influencing posture, movement, reflexes, and overall health. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of concepts such as vagal tone, stress responses, and the re-emergence of primitive reflexes, and learn why the body’s reactions are protective rather than broken. This session offers an empowering, compassionate explanation of how the nervous system adapts — and how healing begins.
