Most of us were trained to work with words. Many of us were never trained for the body.
And yet trauma lives in the body. You have met these clients. The ones talk alone has not been enough for:
The client whose gut and energy level tell a story their words cannot.
- The client whose chronic pain has no medical cause anyone can name.
- The client with all the insight in the world, still braced against the day, still not sleeping.
This is not about leaving talk behind. It is about giving your clients a way in through the body, alongside the work you already do.
What This Bundle includes
These courses (17 CE hours altogether) are included when you enroll in the Trauma in the Body Bundle
Trauma and the Sensory System
Continuing Education Hours: 9.5
A bottom-up, body-based approach that uses the sensory and nervous systems as a channel to a regulated body. Learn why a dysregulated client cannot heal from the top down, and the sensory strategies that help them return to safety and function.
Trauma and Inflammation
Continuing Education Hours: 5
How chronic stress and trauma drive systemic inflammation, and what it means for the mind-body conditions your clients live with. Practical, food- and lifestyle-based ways to calm the body's stress response and support the nervous system.
Non-Pharmacological Approaches to Chronic Pain
Continuing Education Hours: 2.5
How acute pain becomes chronic, and a multi-factorial, drug-free toolkit for it: breathwork, movement, bodywork, herbs, and nutrition. Grounded and honest about where these tools help most and where they work alongside medical care.
Your Instructors
Kalie Crumpley, OTD
Kalie Crumpley has a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from St. Ambrose University (SAU) in Davenport, IA. Kalie has a Bachelors in Psychology with a minor in Women and Gender Studies from SAU as well. Kalie completed her doctoral research project by practicing in the normative data collection of EASI assessment, which is the upcoming and updated version of the SIPT (the gold standard for evaluating sensory integration function). This opportunity provided her with exposure to the importance of sensory integration in daily tasks, and realized many professionals overlook the importance of a regulated nervous system for appropriate sensory function and occupational performance. She has a special interest in Sensory Integration Therapy and has a passion for ways the Sensory Integration and Processing Framework can be beneficial for survivors of complex trauma and increase efficiency and effectiveness of treatment to maximize healing and recovery. Kalie hopes this course allows all survivors to participate and perform in their daily occupations to the best of their ability through empowerment, therapeutic rapport, and building resilience!
