TISI Testimonials

  • Emma Purdon RMT
    This training is the missing piece I was looking for to bring into my practice. The tools I've learnt so far are invaluable for working therapeutically with people and have also given me resources to apply to my own life, professionally and personally. This work is where the true healing happens.

  • Julie Roberts MOT
    I am so thankful that I took the TISI program, it has upgraded not only my ability to support clients in facilitating mindbody healing, but also support my own growth and healing. It was exactly what I was looking for in an introductory, trauma informed somatic based program. Ginger and Julie are wonderful instructors that provide a unique and authentic experience in class. I look forward to the next TISI programs and continuing my learning with them.

  • Julie Roberts MOT
    I really enjoyed the process and flow of the program, I felt supported and that you and Julie were very supportive. Love the the small class size and felt safe speaking in class. Doing Tai Chi in the morning, sitting in circle, as well as work in dyads were some highlights that made it unique and integrative. The binder and lectures were very helpful to explain the concepts.

  • I'm so happy that I learned this, that I can do this, that I can practice this!!
  • Lana Blain RMT
    Ginger Joy taught me how to feel into what people were feeling, and to feel it in my own body. I knew that this was a thing we people can do but I never did it personally because I felt like it could stay with me. Now I know this is a tool I can use to connect with my clients and then release it. I was able to practice this with my clients and it was amazing!
