  • The Healing Hub (Subscription Program)

    Did you know that true healing is a lifestyle?

    We know you're juggling work and money and family and socialising and trying to find time for yourself to unwind and relax.
    Oftentimes this healing path can get pushed to the side for a few days.
    The days then become weeks which then become months and we just let it go.

    This is where the healing hub comes in.

  • Trauma Aware Parenting

    You love your children more than anything.
    But some days, parenting feels overwhelming.

    You find yourself reacting in ways you swore you never would — snapping, shutting down, over-accommodating, or getting lost in the busyness so you don’t have to feel the stress.

    It’s not because you’re a “bad parent.”
    It’s because your nervous system is doing what it learned to do a long time ago — and no one ever showed you how to change the patterns.

  • Understanding Addiction

    Addiction has long been misunderstood.

    The “Just Say No” approach and the war on drugs has proven to be ineffective and in some ways, perpetuated the problem.

    We see addiction as a response to trauma.

  • Investigating Your Relationship to Life

    By asking the question

    “What is my relationship to this moment”

    we instantly have the opportunity to make conscious unseen thought patterns and resistances that cause unneeded suffering.

  • Understanding Trauma

    Trauma.....one of the most misunderstood forms of human suffering. We have to redefine trauma, and we have to deepen our understanding of it if we are going to truly heal it. It is the driver behind so much of our dysfunction as human beings, yet we are unaware of how deeply it runs within us as a collective.

  • Families of Addiction

    A course for those who have loved ones suffering from alcohol or other drug addictions.

    There are so many resources, rehabs and support for addicts themselves. We realise that the whole family is affected when a loved one suffers from addiction.

  • “I absolutely LOVE The Centre for Healing. I have completed their Root-Cause-Therapy Certification and Trauma Informed Coach and am almost finished the Embodied Processing course. The knowledge that is shared within these courses is phenomenal and as teachers, Matt, Ryan, Ben and Melissa are so caring and supportive. Also, the community that they have built within The Centre for Healing is above par. I highly recommend them!”

    ~ Janet Rhodes

  • “I've always had excellent results working with the team at TCFH over the last couple years, for me, primarily looking at how past trauma can block current (and potential for future) happiness and fulfilment.

    Working through those blocks by learning new skills & tools to overcome inertia has been of incredible value to both my personal, & professional life.”


    ~ Damian Newton

  • “I have been to many many different counselors over the years for my food compulsions without noticeable sucess. I always felt that my issues were deeper than where a normal counselor could go. So when I did the 8 week course l was impressed and relieved with the techniques that they use as they really got to the underlying causes to my compulsions. Their methods really work. I greatly appreciated the level of support and the professionalism of the whole team that were involved with me while in the course. I would recommend the centre to anyone that is struggling with addiction or compulsions to give them the opportunity to help you as you will see results.”

    ~ Mark Smith

  • “This course is amazing! Easy to follow at your own pace and everything is explained in a way to easily understand & comprehend without technical terms. I have thoroughly enjoyed what I have learnt, including things about myself. I would highly recommend this course as an extra modality to enhance your current knowledge. The support from the team is beyond anything I have studied previously. Well done to TCFH team. I can't wait to start practising this modality & continue my learning with these great people.”

    ~ Toni Desbrow

  • “I have now completed several courses with The Centre for Healing, and have found all of them to be of an excellent standard. The courses are prepared so that laypeople can understand the concepts being taught, while at the same time the backup from the Centre itself, as well as the online community, is second to none. If you are wanting to expand your tool kit for helping others, or just want to learn how to help yourself, I highly recommend The Centre for Healing.”

    ~ Chris Giegerl

    The purpose of this training is to bring about a deeper understanding of trauma and how it shapes all areas of our lives. Once we understand something and approach it with the correct perspective we can begin to make positive changes and heal something that is causing so much damage to our individual psyche, our collective psyche, our society as a whole and also our planet.

  • Free Understanding Addiction Mini Course


    Ryan and Matt created this free short course for those who are actively suffering from addiction and feel at a loss as to what to do, for those who may feel fear reaching out or admitting to themselves that they may have lost control.


    You may find some hope in these 3 modules which explore the nature of addiction itself.

    Matt and Ryan do not take a one size fits all approach. We simply want to help YOU to better understand what you are experiencing, to explore your options, and perhaps let go of some shame in the process.

  • Free Investigating Your Relationship to Life Mini Course

    By asking the question
    “What is my relationship to this moment”
    we instantly have the opportunity to make conscious unseen thought patterns and resistances that cause unneeded suffering.

    This is a course on relationship, we are not pointing toward romantic relationship. We are pointing toward all relationship.

    Everything in existence is relationship, all experience is relationship. In the moment a thought arises, we are in relationship to that thought. In the moment a feeling arises we are in relationship to that feeling.

    The moment we perceive an object/person/being outside of ourselves, we are in relationship.

  • Free Understanding Trauma Mini Course

    We have to redefine trauma, and we have to deepen our understanding of it if we are going to truly heal it. It is the driver behind so much of our dysfunction as human beings, yet we are unaware of how deeply it runs within us individually and collectively.

    The purpose of this course is to bring about a deeper understanding of trauma and how it shapes all areas of our lives.

    Once we understand something and approach it with the correct perspective we can begin to make positive changes and heal something that is causing so much damage to our individual and collective psyche.

  • Free Somatic Therapy Masterclass

    Whether you're working with clients now or are on a journey of healing (or both), there often feels like a 'missing piece of the puzzle'

    An underlying process that causes Self Sabotage and much unnecessary suffering.
    This process cannot be understood by the mind alone.

    The mind will actually reinforce the issue by creating a shame based identity, one that says "there's something wrong with me"

    When we understand the body, the nervous system & its adaptations we can remove shame and create true transformation in our lives.

    We look forward to seeing you in the class.
    There will be basic, intermediate & advanced concepts discussed so all are welcome.
