WHY THE TRIPLE VAGAL METHOD® (TVM™)?

Are You Ready To Change Your Life?

TVM™ is the body’s natural antidote to trauma!

 

The Triple Vagal Method® is a holistic, body based and fast paced approach to physical and emotional trauma transformation for ANYONE willing to learn true trauma healing on a professional level.  

 

TVM™ is by far the most potent technique to release an immense amount of oxytocin into the body to cultivate its therapeutic qualities to induce nervous system rehabilitation into ventral circuit dominance. 

 

With naturally triggered oxytocin, there is virtually no risk of damaging receptors or negative long term effects. It is pure MEDICINE to the nervous system.

 

 

When you are free of trauma, you can unlock both your mind and body to create the life of your desires. 

Get handed the manual that you never got at birth.

Week 1 is all about creating a solid foundation for trauma informed therapeutic work. Trainees learn how to conduct a session, how to relate professionally with a client in a therapeutic setting and how to safely navigate any concerns and emergency measures. The Map is taught, which is how to professionally and confidentially get enough information both verbally from the client via intake form and also while working on the body, listening and paying attention to specific queues that are also taught. During week 1, participants also undergo their own processes of gaining enough knowledge to understanding where their own nervous system is at and what their personal Maps may look like.
