ABOUT

'Arras Healing' was created in October 2021 and is based in the ancient rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds, Britain. 

My name is Candy and I established Arras Healing to play my part in the ‘midwifery’ of a trauma-informed world. I am passionate about bringing trauma awareness and education to more people, organisations and communities. I am confident that this growing awareness – particularly of intergenerational and collective trauma – can transform societies and break through overwhelm and ‘stuckness’ to create new healing paradigms. 

I am a certified breathworker, somatic practitioner, trauma coach, and independent consultant in trauma-informed practice and leadership. I specialise in breathwork, recovery from trauma via bodywork approaches, somatic inquiry, and trauma education and research.

Before running Arras Healing, I worked for the NHS as a successful programme manager and prior to this worked in the voluntary sector delivering award-winning projects to vulnerable communities, veterans and other service users. I have held roles in Equality and Diversity and worked closely alongside leading mental health and primary care clinicians to develop, implement and evaluate trauma-informed approaches across health and care settings, in particular those where health inequalities are present.  

I'm a long-term student of world-leading trauma facilitator and spiritual teacher Dr Thomas Hübl PhD and his community of highly-attuned therapists and consultants, and I also work as a tutor and peer support leader in breathwork for the Bedfordshire Centre for Therapeutic Studies. 

I'm fully-insured and receive regular supervision for my leading of group and one-to-one work. I also lead reflective practice spaces for other holistic professionals and trauma therapists, and I'm always committed to continuing my professional development. 

Through Arras Healing, I'm particularly interested in exploring the interplay between individual trauma, collective trauma and ancestral trauma and how integrating these can lead to profound changes in wellbeing, wholeness and consciousness.
