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.

About Me

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

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 have 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 have trained within the school of world-leading trauma facilitator and spiritual teacher Dr Thomas Hübl PhD and their community of highly-attuned therapists and consultants, and I have also worked previously 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, counsellors, coaches 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.

Birthing a trauma-informed world

Arras Healing is inspired by a trauma-informed leadership framework. This means recognising that trauma is the sea in which we swim, be that individual trauma, trauma from our ancestors, or collective (societal- and population-level) trauma. Our lives, relationships and institutions are often dictated by shared unconscious patterning and programming which could be decades or more old.

Bringing trauma-informed leadership into systems change means first raising awareness of the trauma still held in cultures, relationships, organisations and systems and spending quality time with this. This phase is often more key than the solutions stage. It then means moving towards the building of ‘healing architectures’ – these are based on relational health, structures for safety, and spaces to integrate fragmentation, thus nurturing increased capacity and capability for authentic attunement to occur (Hübl, 2021).

Being trauma-informed leaders means hosting more of the world and different perspectives within us. It is also recognising that our organisations and systems have central nervous systems too and working together to regulate them. In this way we move away from the dis-organising principles of trauma and fragmentation towards the higher organising principles of integration and relationality.
