An Introduction to Trauma-Aware Parenting

You're Not a Bad Parent. Your Nervous System Is Just Doing What It Learned.

Join Melissa Hiemann, the Co-Founder of The Centre for Healing, along with Tara Russell, a mother and Parenting Coach and children's author, in this free online seminar to learn how to meet your children where they are at for a happy family and connection.

Watch this free introduction to Trauma-Aware Parenting and discover why the most important shift you'll ever make as a parent starts with you.

You love your children fiercely.

But some days, you find yourself snapping before you even realise what happened. Or shutting down completely. Or drowning in mum/dad/grandparent/teacher guilt for the way things went today.

Here's what no one tells you:

That's not a parenting problem. It's a nervous system pattern. One that was shaped long before your children arrived... and one that, with the right awareness, you can change.

Made for Parents, Mental Health Workers, Counsellors and Teachers

Trauma-aware parenting isn't about being a perfect parent. It's about understanding the why behind your reactions, healing the patterns that were passed down to you, and learning to show up for your children in a way that feels grounded, connected, and real.

About the Trainers

THE CENTRE FOR HEALING x CENTRED IN CONNECTION

Tara Russell is a Somatic Parenting Coach, Embodied Processing Practitioner, and author of two children's somatic awareness books. A mother of two, Tara draws on lived experience of trauma, addiction, and anxiety — and the long, courageous journey of healing from it. She brings neuroscience together with intuitive, body-based wisdom to help parents slow down, reconnect with themselves, and raise children from a place of genuine presence.

Melissa Hiemann is the co-founder of The Centre for Healing and a leading trauma therapist with over a decade of experience. She has conducted and supervised thousands of regression and trauma healing sessions, and her deep passion is helping parents heal the childhood imprints that quietly shape the way they love and lead their families. Melissa's approach is rooted in compassion, non-judgment, and the belief that healing ourselves and raising our children are one and the same journey.

Who is this training for?

You're a parent of a newborn, a toddler, a teenager, or anywhere in between and you want to show up differently than you were shown

You're a practitioner, teacher, or caregiver who supports families and wants trauma-informed tools

You've sensed that your own past is somehow shaping how you parent - but you're not sure how to start unpacking it

In this Free Training, you will Learn;

What trauma-aware parenting actually is — and why it goes deeper than gentle parenting, conscious parenting, or any tips-and-tricks approach
Why so many parents repeat the same patterns they experienced as children — and how awareness is the first step to breaking the cycle
How unresolved trauma shapes the way we parent — often without us even knowing it
The nervous system connection — why your reactions in hard parenting moments aren't a character flaw, but a deeply human response
What becomes possible when you heal alongside your child — not just for them, but for generations to come
No experience with trauma work needed. This is a gentle, welcoming starting point.

What the Past Students Are Saying

"Wow, so good. I just wish I had this when my children were younger. This information is not just great for parents — it's great for grandparents, teachers, foster parents, or anyone who has children in their life."

— Kerry RZ, Foster Mum to Over 100 Children & The Centre for Healing Student

"I absolutely love the trauma-aware parenting course and wish this had been available before I became pregnant. As a domestic violence survivor, it really helps me deeply understand the impact of trauma on my toddler… it's delivered in such a beautifully non-judgmental way, with concepts backed by research and neuroscience."

— Christine Parker, Conscious Mum & Trauma-Informed Healer
