Somatic Bonding Reflex Integration for Trauma Recovery

 A Free Webinar with Michelle Carrie McDougall | Creator of the MyShelle Method

When trauma—especially physical, sexual, or birth-related—disconnects us from our sense of safety, it often disrupts our relationship with touch, boundaries, and trust.

This webinar introduces a powerful and gentle solution: Somatic Bonding Reflex Integration 

• How the Bonding Reflex forms the foundation of trust, safety, and self-love

• Why unintegrated reflexes keep trauma responses “stuck” in the nervous system
   
• How gentle tactile techniques re-educate the brainstem and sensory system
   
• Why language-free healing is crucial for trauma before the age of 6
   
• How chronic pain, illness, and emotional patterns are often linked to early touch trauma
   
• A step-by-step introduction to Tactile Reflex Integration Therapy using safe, compassionate touch
   

This therapy works by gently communicating with the part of the brain where our hard-wired, automatic survival responses are stored—the brainstem. Through slow, intentional, and neuro-specific tactile input, we signal the body that touch is safe again.

Even if you don’t consciously remember the trauma, your body does. The good news? It can also remember safety.

When touch is re-associated with nurturing, compassion, and choice, your nervous system rewires itself for connection, trust, and self-regulation.

This work is especially helpful for those who:
✔️ Experienced physical or sexual abuse
✔️ Were born via medical intervention (C-section, forceps, NICU separation, etc.)
✔️ Struggle with chronic pain, illness, or emotional dysregulation
✔️ Feel “stuck” in survival patterns or disconnection
✔️ Long to feel safe in their own body and in relationships

Located in Kelowna and available online, the MyShelle Method offers one-on-one sessions, guided self-help programs.

This is non-verbal boundary work that speaks directly to your body’s early experiences—inviting repair, trust, and transformation through compassionate connection.

Whether you are a trauma survivor, bodyworker, therapist, or someone seeking a deeper sense of safety and self-love—this class will offer you insight, hope, and healing tools you can begin using right away.
