YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CHANGE SO MANY LIVES
You are an energy healer or coach and you want to learn how to work with trauma because you’re attracting more clients with C-PTSD and attachment trauma.
While you feel called to help, they seem to need more than what your current training has prepared you for.
You might have unintentionally been taking on your clients’ pain and distress and been feeling drained afterwards.
You know you can support others to heal from their trauma, and you even have some of the pieces, but they’re just not fitting together in quite the right way.
There’s something that affirmations, practices, and biohacks are just not touching.
You know you need to work with your clients’ nervous systems to help them heal the deep stuff.
There are a lot of people talking about trauma-informed practice, but still doing harmful things.
R.E.S.T.® provides useful skills any practitioner can use and feel confident they can resolve complex issues without causing harm.
Practical Education, not just talk.

The R.E.S.T. Relational Embodiment Somatic Therapy® Practitioner Training teaches you body-oriented techniques to transform your clients’ attachment trauma by learning to use your own nervous system as a powerful catalyst.
The training guides you experientially to expand your capacity to
co-regulate with others and provide a safe haven for dysregulated clients so they can resolve their trauma.
RAQUEL SHARES HER POTENT FUSION OF MODALITIES FOR THE FIRST TIME
The R.E.S.T. Relational Embodiment Somatic Therapy® practitioner training teaches you how to apply a nervous system lens to client distress.
It is embedded in trauma-informed principles and the neuroscience of attachment. It draws upon all the specialised nervous system education and somatic training Raquel has taken over many years.
It also incorporates her experience in seeing clients in private practice and innovating processes for their healing and evolution.
Students study how to use nervous system principles to help others as well as themselves. They learn how to precisely attune to and track the nervous system so they have access to a larger field of information, revealing where traumas are held or energy is blocked.
Whilst Raquel's offerings all have robust scientific foundations and intellectual rigour, they are a felt sense experience best learned through osmosis rather than obsessive note-taking.
Relational Embodiment Somatic Therapy® practitioner training is an experiential program that guides students to learn nervous system principles and master the art of putting those principles into practice, instead of memorising manualised techniques and implementing ‘rote’ interventions.
RAQUEL’S FUSION OF Modalities
Raquel draws upon a range of modalities to inform her unique approach to trauma healing and nervous system expansion.
Exploring ways to map clients' nervous systems using Polyvagal Theory is a mainstay of the training.
In addition to sharing trauma-education, and trauma-aware, trauma-informed principles, Raquel also offers practical techniques for supporting online and in-person clients.
Whilst there are practices and exercises, the training is also a radical paradigm shift towards a whole new way of being for the practitioner, and is one that takes time to embody - hence the 11-month immersion period.
The focus is on un-doing and learning ways of being with others, and offering compassionate, deep presence to oneself and one’s body, while looking through the lens of the nervous system as a tool to help others transform.
"During the training my intuition grew and I felt so much more relaxed and confident about helping others to change their world through healing their nervous system."
— Zara Selene: Somatic Counsellor
ABOUT YOUR Trainer
Raquel Dubois is a nervous system specialist who uses mind-body medicine to help her clients experience wholeness from within.
She teaches counsellors, coaches, and energy healers the art and science of body-oriented (somatic) therapy and polyvagal-informed trauma resolution.
She mentors energy healers and soul-focused practitioners to become a powerful healing presence and to fully embody unconditional safety so their clients can transform.
A Calling
Raquel remembers healing people from 12 years of age. Later, she came to know her mission was to help people feel safe, make meaning from their past, awaken their consciousness, and heal their pain through cherishing their body.
Spiritual Foundations
Recognised as a healer and chosen by village shamans in Guatemala and Bali to be initiated as a Medicine Woman, Raquel also received a spontaneous shaktipat initiation from the Dalai Lama while in his presence in India. She has written about her awakening experience in a blog which you can read here.
Body Wisdom
Raquel has been working with the wisdom of the body for more than three decades. She practices an array of modalities including Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Brainspotting, Attachment-focused Psychotherapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Hakomi Mindfulness Psychotherapy, Reichian Characterology, Bowen Family Systems, Psychodrama, Family Constellations and Trauma Touchwork.
Blend of Science and Magic
A clairsentient intuitive, healer, educator, author, embodiment coach and somatic psychotherapist, Raquel’s life and professional experiences have brought many opportunities to master the blend of science and magic and share these gifts with her students and clients.
She has been attuned to several energy healing modalities, has studied and practised shamanism and mysticism, and is qualified in different styles of bodywork. She holds postgraduate qualifications in Mental Health and Psychotherapy, and a BA in Social Psychology and Comparative Religions.
“I particularly appreciated that R.E.S.T.® included an abundance of theoretical maps and lots of practical, experiential exercises to help me understand mine and others’ nervous systems. Now I can conceptualise the problems my clients are dealing with from a psycho-biological perspective.”
— Brett Darnesh: Couples and Relationships Counsellor
