Join The Collective
Trauma-attuned EMDR certification and somatic training for conscious therapists.

At Head and Heart Collective, we offer trauma-attuned, somatic, attachment-based, EMDR, and subconscious-focused programs for therapists who are ready to heal themselves while expanding their professional presence and mastery.


Each offering integrates the Five Elements (Tattvas)—Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth—to guide both personal evolution and clinical skill, bridging ancient wisdom with modern psychology.

Through this integrative approach, therapists learn to transform inner awareness into embodied presence — aligning the head and heart of healing in every session, every interaction, and every moment of practice.

The Heal the Healer™ Approach

A trauma-attuned framework for embodied integration and clinician renewal.

The Heal the Healer™ Approach is the foundation of all Head and Heart Collective offerings — helping therapists bridge presence and practice so they can sustain their light in the work.

Grounded in somatics, attachment, ego states, and EMDR, this approach guides clinicians through the inner arc of integration — where the subconscious meets awareness, and insight becomes embodiment.

Before we can guide others toward wholeness,

we must experience it within ourselves.

The Five Elements (Tattvas):

A Framework for Healing

The Heal the Healer™ Approach is guided by the Five Elements (Tattvas):

Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth.

These elements represent both the energetic architecture of transformation and the natural rhythms of integration.

In yogic philosophy, the tattvas describe how consciousness takes form — how the unseen becomes embodied.
In therapeutic practice, they reflect the five dimensions of healing: awareness, understanding, transformation, connection, and embodiment.

Together, they offer a universal map for both personal evolution and clinical refinement — a pathway to cultivate coherence between mind, body, and spirit.

The Five Elements of Integration

  • Trauma-attuned retreat experience supporting clinicians in embodied healing.

    Ether — Awareness & Presence

    Cultivating spaciousness to perceive and hold what arises.


    In our programs: Therapists develop self-attunement and nervous system awareness through guided reflection, mindfulness, and EMDR-informed inner exploration.

  • Trauma-informed facilitation circle designed to help clinicians restore nervous system balance and clarity.

    Air — Mind & Meaning

    Illuminating shadow and story through understanding and reflection.

    In our programs: Depth-oriented dialogue and case conceptualization help therapists translate insight into clarity, weaving Jungian inquiry and narrative integration into clinical practice.

  • Five elements guiding somatic and EMDR integration through Head and Heart Collective’s healing framework.

    Fire — Transformation & Energy

    Harnessing courage and vitality to alchemize trauma into wisdom.

    In our programs: Experiential labs, breathwork, and somatic discharge practices build capacity to metabolize intensity, supporting embodied transformation and resilience.

  • Five elements guiding somatic and EMDR integration through Head and Heart Collective’s healing framework.

    Water — Emotion & Connection

    Restoring relational flow and emotional attunement.

    In our programs: Peer process groups, relational supervision, and co-regulation exercises deepen connection, empathy, and therapeutic presence.

  • Five elements guiding somatic and EMDR integration through Head and Heart Collective’s framework for conscious therapists.

    Earth — Embodiment & Integration

    Grounding insight into sustainable practice and lived experience.

    In our programs: Structured integration sessions, movement-based practice, and mentorship support therapists in translating growth into embodied, ethical leadership.

Living the elements

Each element is more than a concept — it’s an embodied experience.


Through somatic practice, reflective inquiry, and subconscious-centered integration, therapists learn to move fluidly through all five tattvas, cultivating presence, coherence, and compassion in both their work and their lives.
