Trauma-Informed Programs
A lens, not a specialisation
Everything Christopher offers — every retreat, every group program, every individual session — is held within a trauma-informed understanding of human experience. This is not a separate category of his work. It is the orientation from which all of it flows.
Trauma Healing and Mindfulness
Two invitations to connect fully with the present moment.
Everything Christopher offers — every retreat, every group program, every individual session — is held within a trauma-informed understanding of human experience. This is not a separate category of his work. It is the orientation from which all of it flows.
Why Trauma-Informed Care
“For many years, I offered mindfulness and Buddhist psychology to those who were suffering. And in many cases, that was genuinely helpful.
But over time I began to recognise something important: there were certain people for whom those practices and teachings were not helpful — and in some cases, even contraindicated. Mindfulness, offered without trauma sensitivity, can sometimes push a person deeper into overwhelm rather than toward relief, for example.
It is my deepest intention to be of service to as many people as possible. And so I took it upon myself to study the human nervous system — and in particular, trauma. So that I could meet a greater range of human experience with genuine skill and care.
It was honestly one of the very best decisions I have made. Not only has it allowed me to serve others more fully, but I too have found profound healing in these modalities myself.
What This Means For You
Whether you come to Christopher's work through a meditation retreat, a year-long immersive program, or individual sessions, you can trust that the same trauma-informed lens is present throughout. The same attention to safety. The same understanding of how the nervous system responds to overwhelming experience. The same commitment to building the conditions for genuine healing before approaching difficult material.
You do not need to identify as a trauma survivor to benefit from this orientation. Trauma-informed care simply means being met with greater attunement, greater sensitivity, and greater skill — qualities that serve every human being who walks through the door.
