HEALING EARLY TRAUMA IMPRINTS
for Babies and Small Children
March 13th - 15th, 2027
with Jamie Lee Mock
Babies and small children are communicating long before they have words. The question is whether we know how to listen.
This experiential three-day training explores how our earliest experiences, from preconception through early childhood, can shape the nervous system, relationships and the ways we move through the world.
Through somatic practice, developmental understanding and deep listening, we'll learn to listen with our hearts and our hands, developing the attunement, knowledge and practical skills to better understand what a baby or child's system may already be showing us.
Open to practitioners, parents and those called to this work.
Babies and small children are communicating long before they have words.
Babies and small children experience their world through their bodies, relationships and developing nervous systems. They may not be able to tell us what happened, what overwhelmed them or what they need in the way an adult can. But that doesn't mean they aren't communicating.
Their bodies communicate.
Their movements communicate.
Their responses and relationships communicate.
Over three days, we'll begin learning how to notice and understand this language with greater attunement and precision. Because when we stop beginning with "What should I do?" and begin with "What is this child communicating?", the way we approach the work can change completely.
The babies and children who find their way to this work may be experiencing . . .
IN BABIES
Difficulty settling, frequent upset, feeding or latching challenges, digestive discomfort or reflux, sleep challenges, muscular tension, torticollis, plagiocephaly, tongue/lip ties, sensory sensitivity or the effects of a difficult birth, separation or cesarean experience.
IN YOUNG CHILDREN
Sleep challenges, tummy aches, separation anxiety, fears, nightmares, sensory or emotional overwhelm, behavioural challenges, difficulties with regulation or experiences connected to birth, attachment, injury or other early hardships.
Rather than beginning with a symptom and trying to make it disappear, we learn to become curious about the child in front of us. What are they showing us? What happens when we listen before we intervene?
About The Training
This three-day training is rooted in Craniosacral Therapy, pre- and perinatal psychology, relational somatic work and spiritual principles.
It includes teaching, live demonstration, hands-on practice, embodied exploration, group work and plenty of space for questions, conversation and connection. When we talk about healing early trauma imprints, we're not talking about erasing what happened.
We're exploring how our earliest hardships can be met with gentleness, compassion and attuned presence, so experiences that were once overwhelming don't have to remain held in quite the same way.
This work asks us to listen without rushing toward an outcome.
To become curious about what the body remembers.
And to offer something that may have been missing the first time: time, presence, relationship and care.
What To Expect
Advanced Learning
We'll explore early development through the lenses of pre- and perinatal psychology, Craniosacral Therapy, attachment, trauma and the nervous system. From experiences surrounding conception, pregnancy and birth through separation, feeding, attachment and early childhood experiences, we'll consider how what happens early can continue to influence the developing child. For many participants, this information changes the way they understand babies and children entirely.
Therapeutic Techniques
This training isn't only theoretical. You'll leave with practical ways of bringing this understanding into your hands, your practice and your relationships with children. Over our three days together, you'll learn:
-
6 Craniosacral Therapy holds specifically for working with babies
-
4 Somatic Practices for supporting young children
How to listen through your hands with greater attunement and precision -
How to begin noticing what a baby's body may already be communicating
-
How to approach the work without imposing your own story or agenda
-
How to meet what arises with greater neutrality, patience and care
All craniosacral holds are practised hands-on with adult partners, allowing you to develop a felt sense of the work before exploring how these principles translate to babies.
Demo Session
We will typically welcome one baby and their parent into the training for a live demonstration. Rather than simply watching a “treatment,” we'll slow the process down together.
What is the baby communicating?
What changes when we wait?
What happens when we follow rather than direct?
What are we noticing through the body, movement, relationship and response?
Personal Processing
To listen deeply to another person, we also need to become increasingly familiar with ourselves. Learning about early trauma can naturally bring us into contact with pieces of our own history. You may recognize aspects of your birth, childhood, attachment experiences or parenting as we move through the material. We approach this with care and create opportunities for embodied exploration and reflection throughout our three days.
You don't need to have “healed everything” before you come.
But you do need to be willing to look.
About Jamie Lee Mock
Jamie's work draws from lived experience and many years of study, supervision, and mentorship with teachers in Craniosacral Therapy, Counselling, Trauma Resolution, Pre and Perinatal Psychology. She is a practitioner and an educator, who brings her own unique energy and knowledge, offering a multi-faceted, grounded yet intuitive approach to her work with clients and students alike.
Her work is deeply informed by her experiences working and learning alongside shamanic practitioners, spiritual elders, and visionary healers. Providing a sense of connection through this work is her deepest purpose and calling.
Since the birth of her daughter and meeting herself in the newness that was patiently waiting for her, Jamie began to recognize a very true energy that was present.
The Divine Mother.
The Cosmic Mother.
An energy of safety, unconditional love, non-judgement, nourishment, compassion and kindness. This energy is larger than her yet is is her at the same time. It is the Oneness in us all. She came to realize that not only her lived experience with her own Mother called her forward to harness this energy but becoming a Mother did too; two of the most complex and beautiful connections in her life, leading her back to truest Self. Also interwoven, are her profound relations with Mother Earth as well as the Divine. This isn’t a role she has consciously chosen to step into but instead one that is being lived through her to be brought forward to the world.
Jamie is a mother for humanity.
Why teach this work?
Jamie didn't arrive at this work only through study. Her years in clinical practice, Craniosacral Therapy and pre- and perinatal psychology have given her frameworks for understanding early experience. But her own birth, early attachment history, birth of her daughter, and the many years she has spent navigating her own healing, have shaped the way she understand this work just as deeply.
Jamie has experienced what it means to carry our earliest experiences forward, and she has witnessed, both personally and clinically, what can happen when those places are finally met with gentleness, patience and attuned care.
This work isn't always easy. It asks for patience. Neutrality. A willingness to listen rather than assume. And sometimes, the courage to look at our own history while we're learning to sit beside someone else's. But she believes deeply that it's worth it.
At the end of these trainings, Jamie hears some version of the same thing again and again:
“Everyone should know this.”
She feels the same way. Part of Jamie's intention in teaching this work is simply to put this knowledge into more hands, homes and therapeutic spaces. Because the more babies and children who are truly listened to, the more possibility there is for something different

A Note on Scope
Healing Early Trauma Imprints is an educational and experiential training, not a professional certification in Craniosacral Therapy or psychotherapy.
Practitioners may integrate the learning within their existing professional scope, while parents may attend to deepen their understanding of their own children and offer attuned support within family life. The introductory Craniosacral Therapy techniques taught do not qualify participants to practise Craniosacral Therapy professionally.
This is a warm, relational learning environment rather than a therapeutic retreat. Because personal material can sometimes arise, participants are asked to arrive with enough support and capacity to care for themselves throughout the training.
